It's racism to object to illegal aliens and/or bogus asylum seekers? I didn't know that either group was a race. We don't have nearly as many illegal entrants coming through our northern border as we do our southern border but let's make it about race instead? HUH? We should plug the big hole in the dam before we worry about a small hole. It's common sense! When or if our northern border becomes the same problem as our southern one we can address it then.
80% of illegal entrants and asylum seekers are Latinos from south or our border but let's not let the facts get in the way of the victim mentality in here, shall we?
It should be a race, I mean American Indians are a race and they have to check a box, whites are their own race and they check a box, but mix the two which are neither all one or the other and they don't get a box? Doesn't make sense..and where did you get 80% from? Do you have a source that I can see?

Well at least we agree on something

I just feel like it should be fair at least

Illegal alien isn't a race it's an unlawful status in our country. So no, it's not racist to object to illegal immigration.
According to a Pew Hispanic Center report, in 2005 57% of illegal immigrants were from Mexico, 24% were from other Latin American countries, primarily from Central America, 9% were from Asia, 6% were from Europe, and 4% were from the rest of the world. 57% + 24% + = 81% of illegals being Latinos/Hispanics.
It means Indian outsourcing firms are getting rejected at a much higher rate while the number of approved H1b visas for Indian programmers has increased. Trump lifted the country caps on H1b's but tightened the approvals for the foreign firms. This topic has come up before.
jeebus you linked and cut/pasted the whole thing ... but did you read it?
so 138 of 111K were killed within a year of their return. that's 0.1%. That's just the exact same rate of 6K/year to their total population.
and it did not say 138 deported from the US.

Human Rights Watch confirmed the 138 deaths during that period through official records, interviews with families and media accounts but believes the actual toll is much higher, in part because some aren’t recorded due to the stigma of having been deported from the U.S.
it led with 138 people that had been deported were subsequently killed. And either mentioned 110K total, or I looked up that figure, plus the overall murder rate.
As to the standard policy group proclamation I seem to always see "but believes the number is much higher", I never pay attention to that. Say the number is double - 276. That's still just a blip.

I'm sorry that anyone anywhere died necessarily. But we have a country to run here.
To many a liberal, out of site, out of mind. It is only when crime hits home do they give a flip about illegal aliens committing crime.
Until then, they pretend or actually believe every one of them is a hard working individual looking to assimilate, and making our country stronger as a result.
The reality is a much different story that few in the MSM will report upon.
