I mean, if they weren't racists, why would they lend their political capital to a violently anti-American organization called "the Race"?
Thought we should all know how evil we are...
The unrelenting numbers that are still being allowed to enter illegally killed the bill. If you are upset that the bill didn't pass..make a call to fire Chertoff.
Since Hispanics are not really a race, Geraldo and Sammy Sosa are not the same race, Morales should have framed his argument as a bias against Mexicans.
Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!

Take a look at their hidden agenda: http://www.mexica-movement.org
There is, unfortunately, some truth to this statement, at least in perception.
Any argument against illegal immigration based on the undesirable characteristics of lower-class Mexicans will inevitably and quite reasonably be viewed by all (legal) Mexican immigrants and all Americans of Mexican ancestry as aimed at all Mexicans. It is only human nature to spring to the defense of “your people” when they are attacked.
The Democrats largely lost the South because they insisted on attacking and showing their contempt for all white southerners, alienating even those of them who leaned towards the politics of the changing Democratic Party.
I think racially/ethnicly based comments in opposition to illegal immigration, regardless of how accurate, are tactically self-defeating. Most Hispanics and many whites and blacks will be offended by them and tune out other perfectly adequate non-racial/ethnic arguments.
Hmmm...BS alert...I am Hispanic...I have yet to encounter any hostility...of course, I am a citizen and here legally...hmmm...
Most Mexicans are Brown and generally not liked by Americans so racism is a reality.
Pray for W and Our Troops
If 10 million mostly white or mostly black Americans illegally migrated to Mexico and set up shop, Mexicans would get into an uproar about it. Someone could point at them and say “bigots!” as well.
My opinion would be *exactly* the same if they were Canadians (or Brits,or Norwegians,or...) instead of Mexicans.
(Note: I didn't mention anybody's RACE.)

“There’s racism in this debate,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., reacting to the tone used by the immigration bill’s opponents.
Here’s some more “racists” for you, as follows:
“You Don’t Speak for Me! Formed when Col. Al Rodriguez became fed up watching media coverage of the mass protests of April. ‘Their leaders were saying it was a march for immigrant rights and a Latino/Hispanic movement,’ says Rodriguez. ‘I thought to myself, ‘Hey, those are illegal aliens, not immigrants!’ Col. Rodriguez began speaking out to others saying, ‘I’m of Hispanic ancestry and those people are acting like they speak for me. Well, you don’t speak for me!’”
And what to groups like “La Raza” stand for?
They can all go to you know where!
