Haha I don't blame you.
Tommy, reading my post I didn't mean to sound so harsh. Sorry
Haha I didn't take any offense. My parents were immigrants, too, but they kicked their asses getting here legally. I have relatives who did so illegally, and they've been deported. No sympathy. If you want to cut corners, better be prepared for the consequences. Some managed to stay because they convinced the court that they're refugees, etc, but there are plenty of European and other non Mexicans getting into trouble. In fact, even at the border, a quarter of illegals apprehended a year are non-Mexicans.
It's being labeled a race issue just because the majority of illegals are Mexican, and because the race card is probably the most useful tool in the Left's arsenal. It's plays into the golden rule of politics in this country: if one side supports something, the other side has to be against it by any means necessary. So when a republican talks about protecting the borders and stopping illegal immigration, a democrat will counter with "I for one am not racist and love the Mexican people." It's bullshit, and people buy into that. After years of the same charade, anti-illegal immigration has turned into anti-Brown people. And bleeding hearts are therefore incapable of recognizing it as a problem as a result.
Sort of like how any talk about reforming social programs is immediately shot down as "anti-black". Politics Fuckn suck.
