How is it stupid to secure our border from illegal entry? Xenophobic? A xenophobic has a fear of strangers. Just what ethnic group, race, etc. is a stranger to our country that isn't here legally or is a citizen of our country? Stick it where the sun don't shine!
Blacks make up 12.3% of the US population and 1.2% of the Mexican population. Allowing white Mexicans to come here and steal jobs from blacks is racist.
All I've seen on the border wall as pertains to Mexico and race is that Trump plays on people's fears of more "brown people" entering the country.
Which is true, really.
First of all, there is no such race as "brown people". If you are referring to Hispanics, they range from blonde-haired blue-eyed to dark skinned black.
For you to bring race into the conversation is, well...racist Nothing racist about expecting those who want to come here to do so in accordance with our immigration laws.
Second, where has Trump said anything about so-called "brown people"? And if you say he has talked about Mexicans, then you should know this --- not all Mexicans are "brown people".
Third, have you taken a look around you? There are plenty of so-called "brown people" who are here legally as well as US citizens.
Fourth, not everybody sneaking across the border is "brown". There are plenty of OTMs from all over the world who fly into Mexico City and hire coyotes to sneak them in here.
No one has the right to come here illegally or overstay a visa. Period.
