A new poll on Mexican attitudes towards the U.S. debate on illegal immigration has found that a large plurality of those surveyed say Americans who favor tighter border security are "racist."
The survey, co-sponsored by the Dallas Morning New and Mexico's El Universal newspaper, found that the largest segment of respondents - 43 percent - cited racism as the chief reason that Americans oppose illegal immigration.
A much smaller number - 16 percent - said U.S. citizens are most concerned about law enforcement. Just 14 percent think Americans are not racist, but fear being overrun by foreign cultures.
"Yes, it's true about racism," said Gloria Vázquez Solache, 59, a Mexico City resident who was among those polled. "They humiliate our countrymen and even burn Mexican flags. Fear of a 'foreign culture' is nonsense."
The same poll found that 76 percent of Mexicans think that crossing into the U.S. illegally should not be a crime. 79 percent of Mexicans want illegals already in the US to be legalized.
And so why are they breaking down the door to get into this racist society??
US says Mexico is "racist" towards gringos and Central Americans.
That was my next question ;)
One more example of why Mexico is the **itpot that it is.
We want to keep illegal "migrants" from sneaking into our country and we're called "racist". Well what RACE are we "racist" against?
First one to claim racism is racist.
You could take a Mexican poll on all the other Marxist propaganda and I'll bet they would believe the US is guilty of them too. Do we really need a group that is sooooo easily manipulated?
So they are racist, um er, racing to get here anyway...
I *am* a culturalist. Some cultures are superior to others. Infer what you want from that.
Easy answer: No, but the dems do.
Poll: Americans know that Mexico is sending its poor citizens to overrun this country and steal our wealth
White people are the only people capable of being racist; haven't we figured this out yet?
All of us?
No taxation without representation!
Congress has forsaken Americans!
You got that right!!! In every instance where I've been called a racist (against blacks), I've discovered they are the racist one. All you do is ask a couple of questions and they are backed into a corner and out the door!
I sent out a notice one time about a black man who had approached several tenants. I was called by two of my black tenants who called me racists and got really mad at me. The following week one of them saw someone running behind his office near dark. He called and said, "There's a black man with a dark t-shirt running between the buildings and up towards your office and police across the street!" I so wanted to ask him if he was racists but I think he realized the error on his part and we've been friends ever since!
All it takes is "geetus," I guess.
