The anti-immigration movement is about racism and blaming the working class
   
Those two things are at the heart of the anti-immigration movement.

It has nothing to do with legal or illegal immigration, nothing to do with "looking out for the American taxpayers", nothing to do with "they're taking our jobs", or "they're a burden on the system". Those are just excuses to justify the racism and class warfare that is at the heart of this whole debate.

No, it is once again, the ruling class looking for a scapegoat to divide the working class, and they (the ruling class) have succeeded in riling up the fear and racial anxieties that are in so many people.

I am so sick of everything being about racism from you morons on the left. There is a reason illegals are called illegal and that reason is they are breaking the federal laws. Tell you what dummies try entering another country illegally and tell me what happens. The USA has every right to protect her borders and the feds have been negligent for far too long on this. If the comic in chief was doing his job Jan Brewer wouldn't have to do it for him.

1. It's the modern equivalent of the southern strategy.
   
The RW wants to win in November. They feel they can do so by riling up racist whtie people.

Just like always.

When you throw around the race card like that you are being intellectually lazy. That way the merits of the law are not debated just whether it is racist or not.

20. People are dehumanizing them by calling them a "problem"
   
They are human beings. The only problem is that they aren't given a path to citizenship.

there is a path to citizenship they just choose to sneak in instead. 

God I tell you what the left is a broken Record Racism racism racism.

Speaking of racism.

Try asking a liberal: name one positive contribution you would credit to a white person.

For all the vitriol and venom about "white" people if you changed the word "white" with any other race/ethnicity the bigotry would be astounding.

A problem is when 35 unattached men move into the three bedroom house next to you, start trashing the place, leer and make lewd motions at your wife and daughter, steal anything at all that is unattended in the yard, and require nightly calls to the local police for public drunkeness/nuisance.  Those are the "hard workers".  The trash they protect will break into your house rape and murder your family steal anything they can and then vanish back across the border, where Mexico "regrets that is can't hand over a citizen to face the death penalty".  These are the people the DUmmies demand be protected.

I have no problem with those that entered this country and try to abide the rules and try to make good neighbors of themselves.

has nothing to do with race - it has to do with people using the wrong means to enter the USA - follow the existing path. Get your green card. Get in line. Do it the right way.

As for the illegals excuse "We are doing the jobs that Americans wont do" -- does that really hold water in an economy with 10% unemployment? ( About 17.1% if one uses the U6 numbers you used to love at the DUmp before Obama was sworn in) I suspect people will do jobs they don't like to pay the bill and feed their families.

Just when you think there is no way they can get any dumber, the DUmbasses surprise you.

Hey, it's the left that wants the illegal aliens here so maybe they're the racist ones...I mean they want to give these poor migrant families extremely low paying jobs at substandard wages that no American would be subjected to because of minimum wage laws. And whenever someone is caught with an "undocumented" maid or nanny, it's always a Democrat. One who could easily afford to hire a perfectly willing African American, paying them a living wage. But no, they'd rather pay some poor illegal wages under the table while keeping the African America a slave to welfare, stuck in a hopeless inner-city plantation. Not to mention, these poor people have to endure thirst, starvation, extreme heat, drug lords, and coyotes just to try to come here illegally, stuck in a one bedroom apartment with 5 other families, just so they can stand around at Home Depot, hoping for the opportunity to mow some Democrat's lawn, or dig a hole for their new swimming pool.
