Or maybe just not wailing and rending garments over the thought of anyone whose not a WASP living here? Maybe not foaming at the mouth if someone speaks Spanish in your sacred Caucasian presence? Maybe by not derisive comments about "at least we'll have a bunch of TACO options". Maybe not equating their very existence to the work of the devil? Maybe by treating them like human beings? I mean, it's a crazy concept to be sure, but it just might work.
Race card pulling duly noted. WTH does objecting to "illegal" immigration while embracing legal immigration have to do with racism????
Not our fault that the majority of illegal aliens speak Spanish. Illegal aliens are afforded basic human rights and that's all they are entitled to. They have no right to be in our country and should be deported no matter what their race or ethnicity is.
Keep in mind Hispanic is not a race it’s an ethnicity. White is the largest race within the ethnicity, 53% of US Hispanics are white, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are Hispanic by the governments definition. They also intermarry with non-Hispanic whites at astronomical rates, over 50% of mixed ethnic marriages are white-Hispanic. They are also one of the most Christian demographics. It could be worse for republicans. There’s no guarantee that they will stay loyal to the democrats, especially as their share of the wealth grows and more of them own homes and businesses. 50% of them vote republican in Florida and close to 50% vote republican in Texas for example.
I don’t understand how the democrats can be for the working class and against income inequality yet for open borders and mass migration. It defies logic. Importing tens of millions of poor people will make inequalities far worse. Imagine being an American roofer right now or an American who owns a small cleaning business. You’re competing against millions of people who are willing to work/charge well below market value. The average salary in El Salvador is $1 per day. $7 an hour sounds like a fortune to these people.

Well my post didn't use the word racist or racism.
Just like the OP didn't use the words "illegal". You can go back and read it if you like. The original post refereed to the increasing Hispanic population.
So if the problem is them gol' darn illeguls, why not say that in the OP? Why complain about the increasing Hispanic population in general?
You are the one equating all Hispanics to illegal immigration. Maybe you should do some self reflection to figure out why you cannot even consider the possibility that Hispanic people are, idk...born here?
