The Free Republic is the internet's premier "hate the mexicans" web site.

I suspect you'll find a lot of people of Mexican ancestry who oppose these recent policy changes and want tighter borders. Talking of "hate" is an easy way of avoiding serious discussion of our future. Proponents of policies have to make their case on its own merits, and not just accuse others of hatred. And if you're looking for "hate sites" there are a lot of other sites that better fit the name.

Tell me that the Fox/Coyote analogy qualifies for anything except the rhetoric of hate.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

That's a good point too because certain people assume all hispanics want open borders which isn't true at all. The only reason Silvestre Reyes become well known and elected to Congress because he put Operation Blockade and Operation Hold the Line into place, he was viewed as tough on illegal immigration and his mostly hispanic (of Mexican ancestry no less) region respected him for it.
