Yet all the fuss and disdain is aimed at Mexico. All the complaints are about Mexico.

Duh! That's because most of the problems are coming from Mexico! If it was illiterate Canadians coming across our northern border causing all the problem we're seeing from those crossing our southern border, then we'd start complaining more about them. Do you have some idea that we have to be egalitarian in what people from what nations we complain about? In your mind, do we spend too much time complaining about the French and not enough complaining about the Swiss?

The Swiss, as I recall, also gave us some trouble - in particular, they refused to supply parts for JDAM:

So, they'd better NOT get a pass. But that non-sequitor is beside the point.

The point I have is this: Mexico's drawn an awful lot of rage - and I have to wonder if there isn't more to it than just the volume of people coming over. I've read some of the stuff on VDARE, and quite frankly, I think Jim Robinson was correct to ban them - some of it, in my opinion, was racist. I've also seen how Luis Gonzalez has been attacked on past threads merely for expressing disagreement with whatever Michelle Malkin's talking points are for the week - and I will admit to being suspicious about the real motives behind a lot of this fuss.

Poohbah has recounted similar stuff he saw in California during the run-up to Prop 187 - stuff that was uncivil at best, and damn close to racist at worst. Poohbah is one guy I trust - I've met him, we've e-mailed and talked off FR; I've disagreed with him a couple of times here, but he's one guy I would trust to watch my back.
