Can't they or someone they know read? We don't care if you're purple green or blue, if you are illegal you are breaking our laws and a burden to our society!

Because they think if they play the race-card we will back away from the issue. I am a woman of color and I'm not backing down. It's not about RACE.
They entered the country illegally. What more and how much clearer can we say this?

The truth of the matter is that there are ignorant people everywhere. Most illegals insist that its about race because the main word mentioned in this whole immigration debate is "mexico" ,whenever you see a anti immigration march or see someone giving a speech they one thing they say is "mexicans go home". That would make anyone think that it is about race. And of course they may also base it their own personal experience. I have seen enough cases where ignorant people see someone brown skinnned and immediately assumed they are mexican and illegal. I mean isn't that pretty much what most believed was the reason that the incident in L.A was about? and yes i know that for some people its not a matter of race but of legal status,but for others its not.

I do believe it is because they have watched our TV newscasts long enough to realize that they can achieve more if they claim we are "racists". It is strange; the blacks started using "racist" to claim Americans were against them because of skin color (at times, in certain places, that was true; but not at all times and not in all places). What Mexicans are forgetting and their willing audience is forgetting, is that since Mexicans are predominately Spanish by blood, they are the same race; not only the same race, but they are also Celtic in origin.
But, yes; I agree. Our objection is because they are breaking the law; because they have more entitlements than citizens; and because they are a burden to our society.

Since they don't have a logical argument, it's easy to pull out the "race card." They hope we will back off. However, I don't!
Illegal immigration has NOTHING to do with race or where they come from. I am just as angry at an illegal Canadian as I am an illegal person from China. If they are illegal, they don't belong here and they are criminals since they are breaking our laws!

I really don't CARE what illegals "insist".
They are illegal and need to be deported.
An illegal alien is not a race anyway.
Every country has immigration laws and every country enforces them. Therefore any country that enforces its laws, or its citizens WANT their immigration laws to be enforced means it is NOT a racist issue. Period.

It is because of the political society. A worry for overpopulation. But to be blantantly honest, I would say that the government has warped our minds into thinking that illegals are bad. Therefore, we react as bad guys and racists. America's population follows and believes everything they are told. Kind of sad really... I don't give a crap if they're illegal. Come over man. It's a human being. We have more than enough room on this earth.

You are right. Have you also noticed that some likes to play that old race card, when all should know that US has never been racist, all one has to do is take a look around, even in their own neighborhoods. Like Al Sharptongue, he is the biggest pimp for playing the race card. The real racists are the ones who yells "racist" first.

Yes they are breaking the law and on top of that getting a lot of things free that we are paying for with our taxes and of course they don't pay taxes since they are illegal.
As for the workers that are doing the jobs that they say others won't do.....well lets see if the country falls apart if they are all sent back........ummmm I don't think so.

If there were people from, let's say, Norway entering the USA..I don't think people would be as against them as the illegal immigrants from Mexico.
I mean, the KKK hates illegal immigrants from Mexico. What if they were from Europe? I think things would be different.
Come on, it's pretty obvious that race does play at least small part in this controversy even though most people would deny that.
And the people who give me a thumbs down are the people who would do so.

I don't have any problem with anyone coming to this country. If you want to live here then you should apply for citizenship AND be a contributing member of society (Flip burgers, but do something!)
