My father is originally from El Salvadore and my mother's side of the family is French. I have no tolerance for these people that talk about illegal immigration but it is just a thin mask for their racism.

Racism? No, that's the wrong term. Hispanics are not a race. Xenophobe is the term that I think you're looking for. And while there may be some who used to post here about whom that statement is valid, please do not let someone convince you that it applies to all.

If you look at the Border Ping List, you will see at least a dozen FReepers with hispanic FReepNames. I am an immigrant, my wife is an immigrant, and my son's in-laws are immigrants. In fact, those two families settled here before Arizona became a state and are what I would call charter citizens. One family is from Spain, the other from Mexico.

Our families are legal immigrants. It's the unchecked illegal immigration and all of the concomitant problems associated with said that we are against. We are not racist, we are not xenophobic, and we are insulted by those who try to label us as such.

Clear?
