I'd say the fact that this bigoted view is the most common one amongst conservatives towards latinos makes it an example of the core beliefs of conservatives.

Yeah I am really deflecting from the failure of the current administration by addressing the words of conservatives. Lol pure nonsense thinking.

Well the ones here illegally are certainly looking for hand outs.

Also, the notion that enforcing the border somehow is racist is absurd. In reality, enforcing the border is the least racist thing regarding immigration this country can do. With enforced borders and legal immigration, immigrants of all races from all over the world including Asia, Africa and Europe are given equal opportunities to migrate here and work. People from south of the border are not given a special pass simply because they can walk across while the rest of the world has to wait in line.

Hmm...split the difference, I think. I never said that Republicans were against legal immigration..in some circumstances, anyway.

But there is a lot of resistance to refugees...Moslem or not..being settled in the US.

I would guess the difference maker would be the caveat.."a benefit to our country".
A refugee is fleeing something..persecution or natural disaster..and coming here to make a fresh start.
Thus, the immediate benefit to the US may not be apparent.

I understand 'refugee' to be a humanitarian designation...not a utilitarian one.

Most immigrants are vetted on a skills and needs basis--to determine priority.

Maybe they don't want to be soaked with the taxes Republicans want to impose on the working class?

Michigan Republicans never met a regressive tax they didn't like.

What taxes are the Republicans imposing unfairly on the working class? If I remember correctly Bush reduced taxes for the working class. No, it's all about amnesty for their illegal amigos why they vote Democrat and the socialism that the Democrats adhere to.

No it's not. Illegals do come here for a better life. But many come here for the free health care when they give birth. On top of lowering wages which puts more Americans in those same fields on government assistance or puts Americans out of jobs which puts them on government assistance or when they send most of their money home to take care of family how that hurts Americas economy. Becasue it's bigoted to want Americans to have a better quality of life right?

Only because you have a sick twisted agenda because you cannot discuss the facts. It's not about latinos as your misguided thought process says, it's about all illegals. So according to you all the other countries, like Mexico, who have stricter immigration laws than America are by nature a racist country.
Why yes, lets have more poor people make their way into our country illegally and therefore screwing the ones who are honest. Have them drop a baby and get citizenship because nothing says democrat more than being rewarded for an illegal act.

The only nonsense is you thinking your post is legitimate. Go ahead and tell everyone here about the plethora of illegals you have invited into your home and taken care of. Oh, you haven't done that? That means you're racist. See what I did there?

Let's just leave it at that. I have seen too many postings where reasonable posters explain what is going on but you just repeat the same thing or bring something else up. So, what is the point, you are not looking for answers to enlighten youself, yes. So, let's leave it at that!!!

Most of them here are Mestizos of Mexican roots so you can't just call them white. I think they identify more with their Ameridian ancestors than their white Spanish ones even though they mostly speak Spanish. The above vote Democrat because of their amnesty promises for their illegal friends and family.

I wonder how offensive a question it would be if someone who was latino came and asked "why do so many uneducated white men vote republican?"

Why do you expect any one person to be the representative for such a diverse and varied group as all the people who fall under the umbrella "latino"?
