So he's not allowed a political opinion because he is rich? He is a entertainer. They often talk about politics in the news today. It is a part of getting good ratings.

Next a pedophile will not be degraded or humilitated by calling him a pedophile so the associated press will say it is just a guy who loves kids.

Even if they were to sing together, why is being different a bad thing? Acknowledge the obvious and move on. The sky apparently cannot be blue while the sun is yellow, they are both yellow or blue. Otherwise you are clearly a racist.

It's his so-called job to talk about such things. I in no way intimated that leno was not allowed to speak his mind.

please re-read the exchange

The topic of this thread is about illegal aliens not ethnic groups here legally. It isn't racist to oppose illegal immigration and call them what they are. Illegal immigration from mostly one ethnic group is not diversity either.

That is funny. I chuckled and I'm a liberal. But immigrants have good reasons to vote Democratic.

Not least of all because polls show GOP voters resent immigrants.

How about something called "He likes America" and sees what is happening with immigration and how it's ruining the country. Kind of a slap in the face for people who had to wait years and file paperwork to get here the correct way.

Does this mean all the "illegal gang members" are staying also?
