I don't think it does, but seeing white people say "Be Legal or Get Out" Makes it seem a bit strange.
Whereas, A hispanic person like myself can say that and it be fine.

No it doesn't make you a racist to be against illegal immigration,it means you believe this is a nation of laws and think every one is bound by them-no excuses.
It all comes back to the often repeated saying "illegal is illegal"

Why are you singling out whites? It's strange that in the 21st century, with the wealth of knowledge available to every citizen in a library, that race is still an issue. Read up on biology and evolution!
"It BE fine"??
Nobody will take you seriously if you can't even construct a simple sentence...
The United States is made up of individuals who are either are or have descendants who were immigrants. There is a clear law, however, stating that those who wish to become American follow a strict set of guidelines. These may seem unfair but it's up to the American people to have the law reformed. A herd of illegal immigrants protesting doesn't do anything but stop traffic and annoy real citizens. Mexico, for instance, is supposed to be a democracy - their citizens should protest there.
Breaking immigration laws and entering the U.S. illegally is just that - illegal; illegal = crime = criminal. Here in Phoenix, Az an officer was just killed by an illegal Mexican who had been deported twice before. The illegal immigrants pouring into this country do not help anything, rather they take handouts paid for by citizens' taxes. I've seen nice neighborhoods turn into Spanish ghettos, or barrios, in a period of less than five years. I see shacks, run-down apartments, vehicles that obviously didn't pass emissions, graffitti, uncivilized attitudes, criminals, gangs, shootings, etc. For people trying to establish themselves as hard-working, worthy Americans, individuals specifically from Latin America definitely aren't doing a good job.
Anyway, no, being against illegal immigration is not racist.

What approximately unlawful is it so annoying to understand? there is not any such component as an "unlawful immigrant" because of the fact immigrants come right here LEGALLY. unlawful extraterrestrial beings are criminals because of the fact they are breaking our rules, sponging off the taxpayer, annoying rights they don't have, hurting our college considering the fact that instructors ought to spend greater time with the non-English conversing little ones, harm our ERs considering the fact that they'd't have sufficient money to stay open any further, etc.... Now grew to become into something I stated "racists?" No! each and every actuality I point out had to do with the unlawful ALIEN criminal. i don't care in the event that they are white, brown, black, or pink. in the event that they are unlawful they should not be right here. To "puzzled" -- you're puzzled. You stated that it incredibly is annoying to not have sympathy for the illegals. Sorry, I have not any sympathy for somebody that breaks our rules. they must be deported and/or jailed. Employers who hire those criminals must be jailed. Sorry, no sympathy right here! and that's not a racist remark!!!

Everybody is a racist in one way or another. Most people rather hang out with people of their own race.There are exception of course but illegal immigration is against the law. It has nothing to do with race.

NO!!! why does it have to be racist. i thought this was a country of free speech why does what one say have to be directed toward a particular race, if we were all the same color and made the comment it would not be considered racist. Now when they come over here with 4-6 kids getting better health care (medicaid, etc) don't have to pay anything where I have to pay office visit,etc. don't try to learn our language ENGLISH yeah I have a problem with that, if that makes me a racist then so be it...

I think border control needs to be supported. I do not view myself racist, I view myself a concerned US citizen who believes tax-paying people should be the only people in the US. I do believe "Be Legal or Get Out" is a good saying because it is completely true.

What if an Hispanic person says it about a white Polish illegal alien? I wonder if that would be called racist, or if it's ok if you're Hispanic.
Illegal aliens are comprised of all races and many ethnicities. Laws are laws - nothing about it involves color.

Hardly. That's not to say that when pro-illegal aliens run out of arguments for their position - which they do rapidly as it's an indefensible one - that they won't pull out the "race card". It's a tried and true tactic to one, put people with a legitimate grievance on the defensive and two, prevent further discussion.

If wanting secure borders and enforcement of existing immigration laws makes me a racist, then I'm OK with the title.

How about this "be legal or go to jail". I don't care what color
you are , if your illegal your breaking the law and you will
suffer the consequences. See most white people came here
legaly and went through the big process of becoming legal,
so I can see why its a bit strange coming from people who
did it legaly.
