Screaming racist is side tracking the real issue.

Hey, here's an idea:

you don't want poor people getting welfare? Stop giving it out.

What's wrong with that?

This is an actual question, btw. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this.

It is based on nationality. If someone thinks that it's racist then that thought is not very well channeled as it means they can't apply because too many of their Country men came here illegally and legally before them. They only have those that preceded them to blame.

There are two reasons. One, is employer greed for cheap labor the other is ethnic ties.

I thought of another one. Bleeding heart liberals who don't have a brain in their heads due to their misplaced compassion and have tunnel vision for our country's future.

Yes, guess why mexican-americans like you can vote. Hint: it's because a "non-racist" (by this forum's standards) law was repealed.

Please explain how they are so different that they can't be compared? If it's not "remotely" similar this should be quite easy.
Huh? Last I heard they DIDN'T choose to interact with the American society... especially when it comes to following OUR rules and speaking OUR language.
