What is with you left wingers. First of all, you don't even know the story of the Emma Lazarus poem, and how they statue of liberty had nothing to do with immigration.

Furthermore, you seem to forget that illegals aren't immigrants.

I wonder if many of you think about what you're actually saying. I have a feeling that many of you are taken back by the talk of a racist organization, so you, unfortunately, allow it to cloud the reality of illegal immigration.

Personally speaking, when I read the article, it sickened me, for it is counter-productive, and it gives the opposition firepower to brand as racist those of us who want our borders sealed, though there is no basis to support this.

Goodness.

I'm not left wing.

I'd put the concrete positive results of the American system, particularly the results of immigration in the early 1900's ahead of the poet's intent.

I wonder if you are thinking about what you are saying. I haven't said a word about racism. I can certainly distinguish between a racist arguement and anti-immigration arguement.

Sheesh.
