But no. Let's give them the world in a silver platter.
Let's fight those who are trying to enforce our federal laws and let's call them racist.
Well, remember. It's racist if we enforce our immigration laws, and homophobic if we happen to detain someone who is gay. But if Mexico does it, then it's ok. They aren't racists or gay-haters, they're just trying to protect their country

Its not racist to enforce laws. Its racist when you target a specific group. The two most discriminated ethnicities are very well represented in our prison system. Besides, the issue of illegal immigration does attract racists from both sides.
No one said that there aren't homophobic views in Mexico. No one said that there weren't any racists in Mexico either. It exists everywhere, in every society. Just like there are very open minded people in every society. How do you explain that in Mexico gays can actually legally get married?
I'm proud of this man for suing Mexico. We need more people to step up and do the same in Mexico. Living under those conditions in a prison, denying him of basic rights such as showers and the right to know why he was detained. Let him sue and hope this will trigger a change in the current system.

You didn't get my post. I was saying that Mexico is allowed to enforce its immigration laws, while we can't.
And besides, Mexicans can only get married in the DF. That's hardly legalized gay marriage

How is it racist to target illegal aliens, regardless of race/ethnicity?

These are the only places where gay marriages are recognized:
Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, plus Washington, D.C. and the Coquille Indian Tribe in Oregon. Outside of these places, gay marriages do not exist. Unlike Mexico, you can marry in Mexico DF and that marriage is LEGALLY recognized in ALL of the Mexican Republic.
Mexico has always enforced its laws. That is why they don't have such a mess like we do. We didn't enforce our laws for a LONG period of time because it benefited our economy in many ways. Its not okay to enforce them at times and not others. That is why many are calling on legalization for those that have been have been affected by this. Some have children and even grandchildren here. This in my opinion is wrong. Laws should be enforced all the time and we should not have contradictory laws enforced at the same time. You don't see that in Mexico. That is what our goal should be. To have immigration laws in uniform. The longer we wait, the worse it will be to repair the damage.
You are always going to be called racist if you oppose illegal immigration.
Even if you NEVER mention race. It's just how it is.
Not really. There are people that support the cause because they believe this is the best for the country. That I can respect. Of course, you will believe what you want to believe.
Compton said he was picked up by immigration officers in a hotel lobby in Acapulco in November 2009 and was asked to accompany them to their "offices." He was taken instead to a migrant detention facility in Mexico City where he had to sleep in a lobby — separated from the rest of the detainees, he was told, because he is gay — and did not have regular access to showers or a telephone.
Why would an Australian want to be an illegal in Mexico? This guy sounds weird if I was a Mexican immigration official I'd deport him as well.
