I guess the "Race" card wasn't working as good because people are tired of that insult...which isn't true to begin with. The facts stand that there are illegals from ALL over the world in the USA and it isn't just ONE nationality that is to be blamed. Even if I were to say that all illegals are Mexican, I am quite aware that this is NOT true and that it would be a false statement to say that it was.

Sty, Thank you for that clarification. I DO agree that if we stoop to their level then we are no better than they are. Although, I guess, what got to me is the fact that illegals DO camp out in those areas, and the question was a result of that realization. I wasn't aware that a FEW of the fires were from downed power lines, which is why I asked the question to begin with.
SuperChee...don't kid yourself, I have seen with my eyes about what kind of people that illegal aliens are. First and foremost they are NOT American citizens.

Because the illegals are very sensitive but they are not sensitive when it comes to breaking the law...

Well stating that if a person here questions ANYTHING (all persons is your meaning) about illegals now considered slanderous, is faulty logic. Just as this would be faulty logic: All the people at my party speak Spanish.
All the people who speak Spanish are at my party.
Is the last line a valid or invalid statement?
We are talking about illegal aliens, and true, not all illegals are of Mexican or of Hipanic nationality, however, the overwhelming majority are, so this is having the biggest impact on the US. You have to start with the biggest problem. To work for ICE, they require you to speak Spanish, no other language is required.
Futhermore, the race card seems to be pulled when those who are angry about the stance we take on illegal aliens do not have any other valid arguement about it not being a problem for US citizens. The race card comes from one side. How can it be slanderous to tell the truth about what is happening, although sometimes, yes, it can get nasty when emotions are running high. Those who call it slanderous do not know the meaning of the word. We ( and that includes you) do.
Organizations such as La Raza are based on the race card. I don't consider Hispanics a race. But they do. So which one is it? Don't you think they stoop rather low?

It seems that you can say what you want as long as you a lib. Reid, Pelozi, Sharpton, Franklin, Hilly, and many more say things that are flat out lies and racially insulting and the media gives them a pass.
Don't worry Rush, O'Reilly, Hanniety, Savage have all been hit and stayed the course. That's why I ask questions like should so and so step down. If you have family, American, value life, etc. you will be attacked. You must have seen the recent attacks on Cons.
Now some of the stuff that Ann might say is controversial, but nothing like the left. Shout away the left will twist it, but don't worry you are in some good company on this question.
Why do other countries limit and control immigration?

First the pro-illegals say that the illegals are "only here for a better life." Gee, that argument didn't work very well since people don't buy it.
They then try the humanitarian argument, but that doesn't work. They try all kinds of arguments to put a positive spin on the fact that there are 30+ million illegals from all over the world.
Then comes the race card - they call us racist and bigots. Those terms are so offensive they figured that we would roll over and play dead - NOT!!! The pressure is increasing on these criminals. Some are so afraid they are leaving.
Slanderous is just the next step in the process to get us to back off and GIVE these criminals amnesty. It's just another LIE and we won't fall for it!!!

When racism is thrown into any topic that changes the entire picture. It seems impossible these days to have a discussion on anything without someone throwing in race.
Now how about the Liberals who would like to see the ecomomic system of the US go competly down the tube with their Slanderous Statements about people that see and understand the problem that illegal immigrations is causing and speak out for reform.
Couple those two together and you have a source that prevents reform or puts it at a snails pace.
Thank you

The regulation isn't unfair or racist. Assuming each and every Hispanic individual you observed became an unlawful immigrant could be unfair and prejudiced. yet , quite in case you reside in a border city or a place the place many unlawful immigrants from Mexico come to stay, figuring out that many of the Hispanic people you spot probable are unlawful immigrants, isn't racist, it quite is effortless sense. somebody ought to do a scientific test. bypass to between the Arizona border cities. assemble at the same time, at random, 500 Hispanic people, and 500 white people, and 500 blacks, 500 Asians, and so on. ascertain interior of each and every team that are and that are no longer felony US voters or persons from different worldwide locations with appropriate eco-friendly enjoying cards. post the information approximately what you stumble on. might people concern the certainty of such information?

Your previous question was not slanderous. I'm in CA and we're getting a lot of mixed feedback right now on the causes of more than a dozen fires. During my days of evacuation I asked the same question, as did many, many Californians. Just hold on and the facts will be released, one way or another. It's simply a given and you aren't far off mark regarding one of the fires. I wish so much that I could repeat everything told to me by friends of mine fighting these fires right now. However, with over 1,700 homes burned in this state and the literal frenzy we've been through in the last week, it's sad to see this being argued about in here.

Illegal immigration leaders have put out the word to try to play the race card. We are sick and tired of hear that. It ain't gonna work. Mexicans are not a race. They are a lot of things but race they're not.

Are their illegals from all over the world? YES
BUT
There are 20 Million Mexican ones jumping the border every year.
If each one of them had a gun, we would call it a MILITARY INVASION
Why not call it for what it is AN INVASION.
They are not in the US to say Hello. They flat out want to take over and consume all resources available.

The race card didn't work, so they are reaching for anything to justify themselves. Don't worry about it, did they worry about you when they snuck into our nation and demanded our rights without obeying our laws? How about when they closed hospital after hospital, or how they've over run our educational system? I don't much care what they think about anything anymore. They are the slanderous ones.
