They may represent 20-25% of FR, and are therefore a pesky nuisance here, but in the general electorate, I bet their percentage is more like 0.5%.

For all the talk on immigration on FR, I don't hear much of it at the water cooler.

No and your not likely to either. The PC Gestapo is every where. It could be unhealthy for your career if some lefty boss caught wind of your support for closing the borders.

The legitimate level of concern needs to be somewhere in the middle.

Bingo. The same is true of most single-issue voter issues. The real world is larger than any single issue, and most people are forced to live in that real world.

Give rational people a little credit.

After 6 years of unfailing enthusiastic support and camaraderie in celebrating Cinco de Mayo at work, this year it came and went (uncelebrated) without a word being said about it.

Some things, at certain times, are best not discussed at the water cooler.

Three weeks ago, I would have agreed with you, but this weekend, it seemed to be THE social topic of conversation. No one is mentioning it at work, though, because NO ONE wants to be sent back to diversity school.
