Why don't you try answering the question?

Most people who are against illegal immigration have nothing against anyone because of the color of their skin. We're against illegal immigration for the same reason we're against theft and trespassing.

I have Hispanic friends who are very much against illegal immigration.

See this post of mine about Irish illegals -

Please be more specific. How is opposition to illegal immigration lashing out at "brown" people? I am a staunch anti-illegal, and I have brown skin. In fact, I am the same shade as millions of illegal aliens. I hardly think I would oppose people simply because they share my skin tone.

I oppose illegal immigration, and I don't give a flying fig if they're black, white, brown, yellow, or polka dot. If you consider that racism, so be it.

Its obvious that you are a self hater. Hmmmm Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This is yet another attempt to deflect and or distort. If they can make you feel guilty about speaking the truth then maybe you will close your eyes and just hope it all goes away. Worse still shame you into accepting the unacceptable.....

But we've seen on this very forum complaints specifically about legal immigration from Mexico, and even claims that Mexicans immigrating legally are still violating immigration law. Fear mongering that low-income Mexicans are able to legally immigrate without sponsorship. And complete fabrications of stories and false facts against Mexicans without an aspect to illegal immigration.

I wonder why it comes up so much here, without any external prompting at all...
Why shouldn't we complain about Mexicans being allowed to migrate here legally more than any other national/ethnic group? They are already here in the largest numbers both legally and illegally. I thought our country was about diversity. Are you against diversity? Who in the world made the claim that Mexicans coming here legally are still violating our immigration laws? I wonder why you become so unglued everytime the word "Mexican" enters the conversation?

What does skin color have to do with objecting to illegal immigration?

People try the race card though it's dangerous to use tday since it can have the opposite effect. Using Hispanics here: crying about being crapped on can bring MORE abuse on their heads courtesy of the millions of Hispanic illegal aliens in the US.

I apologize, for implying that YOu are a racist...
It's interesting that you think anyone (mexican or not) should be able to be sponsered. Whenever someone speaks of deportations it turns to "You can't send them somewhere that they don't know anyone", yet once they get citizenship it's "Well you have to let their family in".

Those that came illegally left their families behind and should be reunited with them...in their homeland.

Incidently, another CITIZEN right that you overlooked is VOTING. And when we allow other coutries the opportunity to influence our elections through illegal votes being cast we are in trouble.

No, I'm saying that anyone that qualifies to be sponsored, by someone able to sponsor them, should be able to legally immigrate...
