Bigotry and intimidation defeated the immigration bill more than anything else.
Right-wing media pundits and their ultraconservative followers spewed a systematic and steady stream of vitriol that was so extreme that even Senate Republicans complained.
"There's racism in this debate," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., reacting to the tone used by the immigration bill's opponents.
Ever since the immigration issue picked up steam last spring, an increasingly nasty tone of hatred and intolerance has been directed at Hispanics in America.
No, they are not. And neither are those of us who oppose the illegal immigration (from whatever quarter), it just happens that most are mexican or from spanish speaking cultures).
In fact, I would say that to label being against illegal aliens as being rascist is in itself a rascist arguement because it presumes that the issue is hispanic when in fact it is not. It is about illegals of any particular stripe, whether hispanic or not.
Actually, they are probably fed up with seeing this...

because you know, >>> I <<< am fed up with the BS from the illegals.
so, as far as I am concerned it's
Their own images and words tell us who the real bigots and racists are.
“Most Mexicans are Brown and generally not liked by Americans so racism is a reality.”
At this time of the year, I am BROWN. Don’t feel any racism towards me.
I think your tagline is showing. Jerk!
Thus the comments about machine guns and mines etc. Those were out of frustration not, racism.
Personally, if another person labels me a racist for wanting to protect family and country, I think my head might explode.
Proverbs 17:15
Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent the LORD detests them both.
Pray for Bray.
It has nothing to do with skin color. As one of Italian descent I tend to be dark, too.
Americans tend not to like people who:
-don’t want to work
-steal
-lie
-cheat
-kill
-trespass
-try to turn our country into their sh*thole of a former country
-think we owe them something
-speak a non-English language
And what to groups like “La Raza” stand for?
They can all go to you know where!
I'm as white as this piece of paper...and I have Hispanic friends (legal) who are WAY more pissed about illegal immigration than I am....
That would all depend on what they looked like.
