My assertion is this:
The fact that the pro-illegal immigration camp is accusing the opposition of racism is evidence that illegal immigration is a genuine invasion of the United States. Furthermore, the radical proponents of illegal immigration are the real racists.
What do you think?

Clarification: I am not suggesting that all proponents of amnesty for illegal aliens are racist.
Regarding the term "invasion": I contend that the radical groups that accuse opponents of amnesty of racism truly understand the ramifications of what they support. They know they are supporting an invasion, while accusing anyone who suggests this a xenophobe.
Please explain why you agree or disagree with this statement.

I don't agree with any of the statements. To include racism in this argument, is like fireworks in the 4th of July, you expect them, they are colorful and make a hell of a lot of noise, but they are not the "core- bone" of the celebration.
If Illegal immigration is and "invasion" and you already have 20 million of them, "you might be already doom". (Any brilliants and cheap ideas to kick all of them out?)
The radical opponents of illegal immigration might or might not be racist but following their party agenda.
Economy is what will dictate what gets approved.,Whatever you like it or not.
The rest is a big stage that they are performing to keep you entertained and make you believe that they care about your opinions.

I agree, especially since you qualified the word proponents with "radical". I think the reason for Bush' intentions are to appease the big corporation (1% of those who own U.S.) by providing more semi-slaves. I believe the La Raza, Atzlan crew are serious racists. They see immigration as somehow benefitting Mexico. I see this immigration bill like a drowning person grabbing hold of the neck of the rescuer. Tearing down America won't help Mexico. America can only help so many Mexicans at a time.

I totally agree that all those people "demanding" their documents, really have no right to do so. You don't come in another country and protest or demand documents just because you want them. You(them) must follow the procedures, do filing, pay fees, consult with a lawyer and work on building up a case to see what you can get. You go to Mexico as illegal and you get deported, you get ripped off by their police, you get not right to go to court, you get thrown in jail, etc. Every five or 10 years when more illegals come in they start this all over and demand papers. Is not right, plus is not smart to give out papers without strict regulations and conditions as many illegals have criminal records, they go back and forth across the borders when they are done with their crimes.

Since ILLEGAL immigration has nothing to do with race, I totally agree. Illegal aliens are criminals since they are breaking the law. This issue is ONLY about the law, not race!
The pro-amnesty people keep claiming that we hate Mexicans and that we are racist against Mexicans. Mexican is not a race! They are citizens of another country.
The other goodie is when they say stupid things like "everyone from Alaska to Argentina are all Americans" - BULL! Only the citizens of the United States of America are Americans! Mexicans are not Americans.
One of the biggest pieces of crap came from Harry Reid when he call the illegals "undocumented Americans." EXCUUUUUUSE ME! They aren't Americans! He's such an @SS!
I have heard so many racist remarks here on Yahoo. They are ALL coming from the pro-amnesty group!

properly, all of those immigration rules do exist and are enforced. And for the main area, the checklist of what you get once you go our border legally is particularly a lot real. particular, there are some extreme thoughts bubbling up on the 2nd, yet its glaring why. individuals are growing to be bored with being screwed over by utilizing the government and pick to work out something executed approximately it. and you be attentive to what? I do too.

I do not agree.
Racism is both sides. Some white people and some illegals hate the other side, that is racism.
Honestly, America need the work force provided by immigrants, so even with a ton of laws and security, many American companies still secretly promotes immigration because it is work force and/or its cheap
Do immigrants have enough money? No. That is the answer to who gives them money to cross the America's borders: American companies wanting cheap work force near to slaves.

IMHO, accusing someone with whom you disagree of racism shows intellectual weakness. In other words, if you know your own argument is weak, you accuse your opponent of racism. It shuts down debate because you can't prove the other person IS a racist and the other person can't prove they aren't.
I don't give a rat's a** what a person's skin color or ethnicity is. If a person breaks the law and continues to break it, that person is a criminal and should be dealt with accordingly. That is really what this whole debate is about, and that's why its supporters are so quick to say it's not amnesty because calling it amnesty confirms the illegality of it.

I agree 100%!! Couldn't have said it better myself.
With almost 20 million illegal immigrants in the US, how is that NOT an invasion???? Illegals cry racism every second when someone is opposed to illegal immigration!!

Well your "fact" about immigration reform supporters calling the opposition "racists" could not be further from the truth. There are those extremists which do that BUT it does not mean every immigration reform supporter does it. There are plenty of "American" people who support this bill ....... (I didn't want to say white because then I would be called racist)
What makes you think that we're racists? What makes you think this is an "invasion"?
XENOPHOBIA?
