Whose saying we’re roping them all together, Paul?
It’s just not easy to do so. That’s why we’re asking
questions. You also don’t know that it’s going to
come to having all of us produce our own papers.

This also has nothing to with more Mexicans or
Latinos coming into the country. This has to do with
economics and safety. Not all of the people who come
over the border illegally are innocent people who
wouldn’t heart a fly. Many are also criminals. That’s
why Arizona became so desperate it felt it had the
need to pass such a measure. Many portions of the Arizona border are practically ignored and some
people have been killed even.

Is it possible, Thanatos, to tell the difference without resorting to draconian measures which rope all Hispanics together into one category? Do you really want an America in which all of us must produce “our papers” on demand of local, state or federal law enforcement, at the slightest whim?

Much (if not most) of the anti-illegal-immigrant sentiment in this country makes me think of “guilty-until-proven-innocent”, the total opposite of this country’s traditional justice system. And a lot of it is racist, too. The country is changing, friend; it’s becoming browner, and we whites, instead of fighting it (which I feel could result in ethnic cleansing of the worst sort), ought to find ways to accommodate it.

Obviously the poster doesn’t know the difference
between legal and illegal immigrant.

These idiots are fighting the future; I’m convinced that Spanish will be not only the de facto second language of the USA, but the de jure second language (a la Canada) by 2020, as well.

What’s the big deal, after all? We’re a nation of immigrants, and all we have to do is scoot over, scramble the eggs and water the soup.
