That is an unsourced statement. It's totally meaningless if we're talking about data.

I don't expect you to prove anything regardless.

I do expect you to keep harping on one little super-narrowly-definied point that you think you've "won" on.

Which, honestly, I can't blame you. you get trounced on everything else, it's natural to construct something that you can be right about and hang on to as tightly as possible. But you're right, I can't point to specific sections since there's no explicit mention of race.

I'll make you a deal. Admit that grandfather clauses aren't racist because they don't specifically mention anything about race and then I'll admit the same about immigration laws that don't mention anything about race.

Deal?

Amazing (but not really).
What question? You ask 47 questions in every diatribe.

Why should we answer questions, you never do. We actually talk to other people about other issues.

You only do one issue.

I know my life is not a holy-grail-single-all-encompassing-end-all-be-all-quest, like criminal illegal aliens, are some people.

No deal. First prove our laws are racist.

THe question the incarceration statistics were posted in response to.

Here's the exchange that led up to it:

I'm crushing a man to his death? That's ok because that's what I need to do in order to avoid being caught. It's sickening.

So, please explain how "21% of Federal Prison population are illegal immigrants" shows anything at all about the claim that fleeing the scene is more common for illegals. I suppose Rick Roma thought he could either yammer long enough that people forgot what he was actually supposed to be addressing or just couldn't keep it straight himself.

Really? Look at your policy (assuming you own a car). A 500.00 deductible is usually standard. If the other party is at fault their insurance covers everything and you don't pay the deductible. If the other party doesn't have insurance who do you suppose has to pay it?

Yes, I agree with this. How does that contradict my statement that the damage is the same, insurance only changes who pays for it?

It's at least as good as your 'blue sky' comment.

I gotta admit you can talk more than anybody I know and still say nothing.

You never actually answer a complete question, you pick a tiny little, insignificant piece off, and run with it.
It's like you have a rope tied to your 'person', and you run the length of it (in a circle) around a question,
without ever coming near the real question.

How's that for an analogy?

It shows that illegals commit more crimes. I know that you don't like it but try to face reality.
