Boy you really like to make some big leaps and assumptions.
Yes you started by asking was he here legally, then the rest of your post continued on the premise he was- your general tone was pretty negative.
I would hope to be fair minded enough not to question someone's legality unless I had reason, regardless of my state or their nation of origin. Obviously I don't condone illegals, no matter where they are from - but I'm certainly going to give someone the respect I would want until they prove undeserving.
For the record I'm in upstate SC, which has a large Mexican population...nothing new, as they've been migrant workers in the south for decades.
I never called you racist, please don't put words in my mouth.
Also, since you know nothing of me or my life, don't assume I don't know how tough life can be.

There has been no indication in your previous posts that you differentuate between legal and illegal immigrants. As long as they work hard, is the only criteria you have used as the "how noble they are " argument.

You also spoke at length about young lazy single mothers who believe they are entitled to welfare.

You really make some leaps and assumptions.You appear to favor the "strawman" arguments.

I do not apologise for a "general tone" you label "negative".

Why do you feel so defensive? I have reviewed my posts and I see no actual personal attacks against you.I have asked a few questions,some of which you have answered, but it seems it is actually you who have decided to view questions as personal attacks.

I have no interest in continuing this non-discussion with you.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
