lol!

At first whenever they'd get that thrown at them, they'd ignore it.

Now the reply is "Well, most illegals are Hispanic, so it only makes sense to assume most Hispanics are illegal!"

But how can you tell which are illegal and which are citizens/legal?

"Well..if theres a lot of them in one place, Hispanics I mean, you just got to assume. I mean, consider the chances are very high most of them are illegal. Better to be safe than sorry!"


That, or they'll throw the 'race-baiting' card at you, when theyre clearly racial profiling.

Dont forget that Hispanic and Mexican are not races..so its impossible to be racist against those who are not of a race.

You still can't tell the difference between an illegal and an American... WOW!

The truth is, I initiated the deportation of an illegal alien TODAY at work. That is a part of my job and I take it seriously. It's nothing personal. It's the law of the land, and my job is to contact ICE and initiate proceedings. I told the guy what I was doing and why and he accepted it. And I agree just being an illegal is problematic for all the reasons you cited.

Wait, I have written Synopse a million times and now it's a problem? Whatever. Have a good one, SYNOPSIS.
Please explain why it is impossible to have a discussion with me on immigration? Did I give you an infraction for voicing your opinion or use my moderator position to my advantage? No I did not.

I DID move the thread to the immigration forum because I am following the terms of service, which is my responsibility.

Synopsis if it means anything at all to you, I think you do a wonderful job moderating this very difficult and often controversial forum. Keep up the good work!

I simply used sarcasm to point out that whenever you specifically target one race of people as "problematic" it becomes racial.

I never said I was for Illegals. Nice try, there. It's an old Tejano tactic. YOU simply made an assumption, didn't you. That's cool, take your best shot.

What tribe of Indian/Spanish are you? Aren't most mexicans from Indian/Spanish descent?

Synopse, I am not trying to turn this into a race issue. But if someone asks about illegals and most illegals are hispanic than, it IS in part a race issue.

But hey, you are the Moderator and we all know how you reacted the last time there was a "discussion" on illegals on the Oklahoma forum.
There is no such thing as a 'Hispanic' race------------they run the gamut from Black to Nordic White. It is a political label only.

In fact: if a Mestizo Mexican visited Spain-----------he likely would be ostracized at best and possibly be assaulted due to his skin color. Yet to you or me: both the White supremacist Spaniard and the 'brown' Mexican would both be Hispanic under US government guidelines.

More like yellow bellied cowards because they dare not stand up for their rights back in Mexico/Central America due to the White supremacy of Hispanic culture. And I did say the above two areas due to 85% of all illegal immigrants originating from there.

Throw those lawbreakers out and seize their ill gotten assets as well.

Our American Blacks; OTOH, finally 'grew a pair' during the Civil Rights Movement and in just over 50 years went from a maligned minority to having a better than 50/50 shot of a 'Black' man winning the 2008 Presidential Election. Admittedly; Obama's father was from Kenya and his mother was a White woman but back during Jim Crow-----------Barack would still have to have had sat in the 'Colored' sections.
