Example: This thread. Commuter train crash thread turns into a referendum on immigration.
Only because hypersensitive apologists for illegal immigration denied the high probablity.
In the absence of facts to the contrary, it IS logical speculation.
Is it "unfair" to lawabiding hispanic citizens or those who have immigrated legally?
Yes, I think it is. I know that I wouldn't want to be wrongly associated with a group that has a reputation for disregard of our laws. But until our immigration laws are more strictly enforced and the illegals are deported, that "unfair" association will continue. And protesting the "unfairness" will only inflame divisive attitudes. It is much more constructive to apprehend and deport the criminal illegal population so that lawful citizens are not wrongly associated with their crimes.
