The only real answer is due to racist bigotry, but that hardly seems to be a worthwhile reason to support.

Also, lol at "oh no they might bring their own ideas on how to do/run things"... since when are fresh perspectives and new outlooks a bad thing?
Yes, they can cross legally but they have to have authorization by the government of the country whose border they are crossing first, duh.

Is this a serious question? You don't know the difference between moving from place to another within a country's borders as a citizen or legal immigrant vs moving from one country to another without permission to do so?

What the hell does racist bigotry have to do with coming here legally vs illegally? It's about immigration laws. What race are you talking about? Are we forbidding a certain race to come here legally? Legal immigrants can't bring ideas to our country? No, it is your whole post that makes no logical sense.

Hot flash for ya. Whites are already a minority across the world. Who is "they"? Are you claiming that all whites treat minorities badly? I am white and I have no problem with minorities that are here legally and honor the rule of law in our country.

Also, if they are
"disappearing" then what does it matter to you? You'll never see them. lol
You're kidding, right?

I suspect he's actually not kidding, more's the pity.

I guess another member of the "citizen of earth" movement.

Just who the hell filled your head with such nonsense? They really did you a disservice.

Canada and America should unite- First thing America will have to do is disband their government and transform Washington into a theme park....All power will come from one benevolent dictator...ME...and I will make sure Obama still has a job...He can be my assistant and once in a while I will let him sit in my big chair...but only when I am drunk and feeling generous.

Poor people in Windsor too. Try again.
