To make this absolutely clear: if we're talking about Mexicans/Latins, it is not my dislike for them that I am against illegal Mexicans/Latins being here.

Thanks for saying that. You know, I don't want to put people feeling like they have to say "I like Mexicans too." The problems I have with people here on FR are the people who make snide, ugly hateful remarks directed at them just because they are Latino. A preacher friend of mine once said that he never "laid into" his parishioners because "the ones that I am aiming at never pay any attention and the ones whose consciences are smitten are the tender hearted people who I wasn't aiming at anyway." That seems to be my experience about people with bad attitudes toward latinos on FR. You can tell who is reasonable and who isn't. Anyway, although we might differ on stuff, I never have seen anything from you that indicated you have something personal at stake against latinos.

Nothing personal, but believe very strongly that my country's future is at stake....which is personal...I have children who must live here after I'm gone; things need to be done before they inherit a greater, possibly no longer fixable, mess.
