You're worried 'cause you're becoming a minority, aren't you?

Funny thing is that I am such a mutt that, given I have Native Caribbean/Central American ancestors am waaaay more americana than you could ever be.

Also, I happen to have a white mother. You OBVIOUSLY have not perused our site beyond a few posts.

Yet, it's nice to see you trolling your arguments.

I'm Asian-American and a minority as it is, so I don't understand what you are saying when you tell me that I'm worried about becoming a minority? It is too late as far as that is concerned and Asians are not entering this country on the scale which Hispanics are. All the Asian immigrants I know have come into this country legally and obey the laws of the US. If there are those who don't then I don't know them nor would I give them any respect. Respect must be earned and you don't earn it by breaking the laws of the country you hope to migrate to. Regardless, if what I'm reading is true you believe the government is a racist institution bent on stopping immigration. If that were true they could have done all you fear over night. All the government is doing is enforcing the laws of the United States. There isn't a government in the world who does any less and most do much more. To attempt to paint the government as racist is so obviously an attempt to play the race card by you. You simply can't justify illegal immigration, so you deflect any criticism by painting others as racially motivated. The US has absorbed millions of immigrants in the past and will continue to do so however, it must be done by the policies and laws of the US and not by any other means. That is what comes from being a nation of laws. It is why the US can have an election and not end up in a civil war over it. No one group should be above the law yet there are some 21,000,000 people in this country illegally, all ignoring our laws, all living as if the laws of the US don't apply to them. The government if anything has been far too soft on these people and I for one hope that changes. I know if tomorrow a vote was put to the American people on this subject they would vote to end illegal immigration.

US Immigration Policy has OFTEN been blatantly racist. There were specific laws aimed at Asian immigration. There were specific laws aimed at keeping out Jews even when they were faced with genocide. US law has a racist history (starting of course with slavery).

And immigration laws have always been fluid. Our railroads were built by immigrant labor, some legal some illegal, including Asian, Irish and others. The same attitudes that now are aimed mainly at Hispanics were once aimed at the very same Asian immigrants who built our railroads. Right now the Hispanic immigrants people love to hate in America are responsible for most of our agricultural harvesting and help keep produce prices low. Same goes for a large chunk of the construction industry. There are negatives to this in terms of violation of labor laws, but a simple "we must enforce the laws" attitude or "illegal is illegal" ignores economic reality.

As to illegal immigrants living in America, they do not ignore the laws in general. They pay sales tax like anyone else but take less from the government than a citizen. They are welcomed by the employers who depend on them and consumers who like prices to be low also benefit from that labor force.

You oversimplify the issue to the point of absurdity. You aren't wrong per se, because it is true that border laws are fundamental to a nation. But the flow of labor into and out of nations is a worldwide issue, and modern economies, our own included, are dependent on this flow of labor...much of which skirts the laws some or most of the time.

Immigration laws should reflect the will of the people whose country it is. It simply isn't up to me what the immigration laws of, say, Mexico are. I can only determine what the laws should be for the United States and while in the past those laws may have been tinged with racist attitudes you can't argue that the US hasn't had a very fair and open policy to immigration. I challenge you right this second to examine the immigration laws of other countries. Look at Mexico! As an American I can't even wave my flag in that country, or own property on the beach, or take part in a protest. To do so could mean prison time and most certainly deportation. Regardless, every single country in the world has immigration laws. They are there to protect their citizens. The cost of too much immigration has far too much of an impact financially on the legal citizens of the US. Illegals don't pay taxes, they don't pay impact fees, they are only taking advantage of what the citizens of this country have spent over 200 years building and building it for their own citizens, not that of Mexico or Venezuela, or wherever.

If a person is in this country in violation of this countries laws then yes, they are ignoring and breaking our laws. You can't argue any other way. It isn't like you can take that law, but not this one because you disagree. You live like everyone else under the same laws and those who break them are criminals, period. There are legal roads into the US and for those people who follow that road I have the utmost respect, but for those people who come here illegally I have absolutely no respect. I even fired my lawn company who had hired illegal workers, so I'm one who practices what he preaches. I also work for a company which does social security checks as part of background checks and I personal have seen thousands of SS# stolen by illegals in this country. Again the impact on the American economy for such people has to be paid by US citizens. It just isn't right and it just isn't fair! Not many American will give any respect to people who are coming here and breaking our laws. We ask nothing that any other country in the world asks. We are a sovereign nation with boarder that must be respected just as every other nation out there in the world today. For those who don't respect this then they are not welcome here.

so they can be taken up to the supreme court and stricken off the books.

oy.

you sound like a 14 year-old intern with talking points for the same nativists and white supremacists that fund that friggtard Michelle Malkin.

Calling someone a "white supremacists" hardly makes you sound anything more than a 14 year old girl. Seriously, who talks like that anymore? It is so outdated and quite frankly shows you for the person you are, someone who is ignorant and naive. If anyone is the racist here it is you for throwing around such terms as a means of defense, or I suppose in your case, deflection from the facts. You can’t argue by insulting people. You will end up looking foolish and will lose every debate.

She is the racist. You can read it in her tags. She wants to create separation and distrust amoung people which is why she trys to apply the racist label to anyone who disagrees with her. She is as much of the problem as these illegal workers are and both should be fought.
