Run along, now.

It was a rhetorical question to prove the point that illegal immigration is VERY different from legal immigration. Some of us understand that; the ignorant do not.

What makes you think all immigrants are non-White? That's quite racist of you to assume so.

Don't you ever get tired of unnecessarily butting into discussions, only to look and sound ridiculous, especially when you think you're right?

Nope, guess not.

It's a "rhetorical question" that was only asked because the person was of Latin descent. The OP would not have asked that question to someone who was white or black.

There, I spoon fed the point to you. Again.

Seems like you need to read the opening post again.

Nope. A person could've said, "because I don't think he wants me here", for many reasons, yet you decided to go straight to being illegal, even though you claim you know she's legal.


So yeah, you proved some ignorance, alright.

And? That doesn't change your automatic conclusion and assumption.

Did someone ask you yet "if you are here legally?"

What I said isn't ridiculous. It's a direct federal legality to federal illegality comparison:

Again... I can't believe the ignorance of those who conflate legal and illegal immigration. That's as stupid as conflating those withdrawing money from their bank accounts with bank robbers.

Quoted only part of my post. Not even a sentence, just a clause. That tells me all I need to know.


Find a hobby, please.
