Oh boy, here we go again; the "bad white guys syndrone". Its unfortunate that the many people with this syndrone cannot focus on what "illegal" means and that it has nothing to do with race. However, its a waste of time to say much more because this bunch always want to make it a race issue. Also, it seems that more evidence is surfacing that perhaps the Indians were not in America first either; now isn't that interesting?
We have the right to judge who should be in America because its our country and our laws; at least for now.

And too; many people of at least 1/2 American Indian heritage are quite anti illegal as well.

Question why

i understand why people are against illegal immigration but why does the issue bring out a racist side to them as they start mentioning negative thoughts about racial groups (aka mexicans)

You've apparently taken that right upon yourself, since you claim that you would 'rather deal with Hispanics than whites any day'. You my friend, are a bigot, native American or not.

"Mexican" is not a race, it's a nationality.

OK, good. Are you skilled at picking cotton or have brick laying skills or like to paint?

Sorry, but I think your letter is a few years too late down there. Actually, several months ago when I first learned of the new OK law and later the Tulsa law, I also wrote to my own Gov. and begged him to consider a similar bill. He assured me he is being vigilant and following the situation in OK closely. My own state does not YET have much of a problem with illegals, but should it ever be a problem, I hope and pray that we have elected the right officials who have the same courage that they do in Oklahoma.

Very true.

I know a gentleman who is Mexican; born and raised SOB along with his parents------all four of his grandparents came from Russia.

In other words; this paisa is 100% White, racially speaking.

With your eye for this type of thing, ArizonaBear, did you know there was a substantial colony of Mennonites in Chihuahua? They are Mexican citizens--speak German (I believe) among themselves, but of course Spanish too. They are famous throughout Mexico for their cheese, "Queso Mennonito".
They were considered "model citizens" and an asset, by the Mexican government, until some years back, when some of them, engaged in the N-S long-haul trucking business between Mennonite colonies in Chihuahua, Montana, and Saskatchewan, (Mexico--US--Canada) were found to be earning "extra income" by transporting drugs. Everyone, including the Mexican police, were surprised and shocked.....
