Fill in that blank for me.
Can someone please explain to this person that I have already explained that so that we don't have to have a discussion like this again? Don't you understand? I'm too uninterested in repeating myself because people such as yourself in this debate hate to leave a debate with nothing to say, so you throw some words together and hope to reopen things. I even explained it in my last reply. Your tactics suck. LOL "Jesus Christ" is right. You're too obvious, you and the others here like yourself. Ya'll need to start coming more straight forward.

We try to break down trains of thought so that each argument can be had on its own. No one here likes that, mostly because they NEVER think about their arguments in isolation and instead have conclusions which are then backed with a mishmash of supporting arguments that they do not individually attempt to justify.

Hence, when you say you don't want to give business to illegal immigrants but are willing to give business to legal Mexican operations abroad, I wondered why? What is the essential difference between those two? You have refused or been unable to elaborate at all on this, only saying that it's a "personal choice" or some empty argument along those lines.

I mean, we try to break down these massive threads into one discussion at a time, and no one can handle it. These aren't "tactics" of debate, they are ways of actually understanding what other people believe.

This sums it up nicely.

I was making a prediction. I've seen this or very similar lines of argumentation several times before, I was just guessing that that is where you were going to take it.

It would be really nice if people reserved the accusation of racism for those who really are racists. But that leaves very few reasons to support illegals so I'm not surprised.

The real racism is the racism that believes that some people are simply too stupid to adhere to internationally agreed upon borders or learn English before moving here or fix up their own countries instead of coming to America in the middle of a recession. The pro-illegal stance is insanely paternalistic. Why those brown people can't help themselves! They can't be expected to obey laws like everyone else! They can't be expected to stay in school and refrain from fathering children they cannot afford. Oh no. Let's just change the laws so they don't have to do any of those things. Besides they obey some laws. Isn't it wonderful how they obey the laws that state they can get food stamps if they have children! And they even pay a little bit of taxes here and there. Just wonderful! Let's grade them on a curve and protect them from those nasty rotten Americans who don't speak Spanish.

It's santimonious condescension masquarading as alleged concern.
The real bigots and racists in this issue are those who think their ethnic kind here illegally should be above our laws. The more hard core ones are relishing the thought of a Hispanic take over of our country via illegal immigration. There is nothing "natural" about that and it is racist to the core.

It's not the only reason.

Well, if you read the posts in this forum, it's pretty hard to conclude anything but that, and I'm inclined to give people the benefit of the doubt, big time. There are literally thousands of posts complaining about how awful it is to have to hear people speak spanish, or have to see mexicans in wal-mart, or mexicans this or mexicans that.

If it quacks like a duck....

I have 37 guys working for me and all of them are here legally with papers, twic cards, temporary work visa's etc. and even they will tell you that the illegals need to go back home and enter this country legally.

The problem is that these work authorizations should have been processed before they even illegally crossed our boarders. And the don't have any legal rights to work here are a job.

What type of work are you talking about that they should be allowed to do. Is it labor? how will you feel when they come here and get an education and start taking jobs away from you?

Oh I get it. It's OK to take labor jobs away but when they start taking accountants, lawyers, and other professional jobs away you will see the problem with this.

Well I have some news for you. Let these illegals in as laborers and they will have kids that will get an education and take you and your families jobs away. You really think they are coming here to do hard work?
