“What is it about illegal immigration that unhinges otherwise reasonable people”
It is about race. No one would be mad if they were white russian or irish illegals (oh that’s right, no one is mad about the russian or irish illegals).
What are you talking about.I want *everyone* violating our immigration laws/regulations expelled....no ifs,ands or buts about it.In my neck of the woods there are lots of Irish illegals (I'm of Irish blood myself!) and I want them *all* out.Same with any Canadians,Brits,Germans,Italians,Australians,Nigerians,etc,etc who are here illegally.
“It” is about sheer numbers and associated costs. Are Mexican illegal immigrants more visible? Yes, they are more visible outside of the southwest, Pacific coast and Florida. There is a problem even there, where they aren’t so visible too, though, so the old racist slur isn’t going to wash. You’re really reaching, in order to taint people who merely want the law upheld, in the face of how many tens of millions? Nobody appears to really know, and why is that? Public services are being sorely strained, at a time when many states no longer have the ability to fund the basics, let alone liberal pipedreams like free healthcare and schooling for every foreign national who wants to crash the gate.
You don’t speak for me. Militarize the border (including ports) and throw every mick and Ivan out of the country. I am an American of Irish decent from Boston. My family emigrated legally, paid taxes, served their nation in time of war and integrated with this country. They didn’t see America as one big free lunch when you walk over the border. They saw it as the opportunity it still is.
If there were 20-30 million Caucasians from any Country living here illegally, I would still be mad.
BS, if you came here illegally, if you are a visa overstay, get the hell out and stop all guest worker BS. However, the farm worker programs can remain as long as they spend six months a year in their own country.
My wife is a native-born citizen who is Latina. And she is more opposed to illegal immigration than I am.
So take your race card and shove it.
For maybe one or two percent, maybe. But, for the rest of us, it is nothing whatsoever to with race.
Your assertion is itself, in fact, quite racist. It accuses whites (and only whites) of harboring selective outrage. How, then, do you explain my friends and neighbors of Mexican extraction who are also vehemently anti-illegal?
You have a lot to learn.
Bull crap! And you know better than that.
