Answer this -- if you dare.?

Tell me this... How does being against ILLEGAL immigration make me a racist? Please note... I am NOT against LEGAL immigration. In fact, I fully support those who legally immigrate to this country. So I really want to know. If you can prove to me that the fact that I oppose the violation of a law makes me a racist, I will take back everything I have ever said about illegal immigration.

Let the show of ignorance begin...

    It does not make you racist. That is just a tactic that is used to get you to back off and question yourself. If you know that you are not racist don't worry about it. Just know that ignorant people will call you that from time to time. Pro-illegals are insecure about themselves and feel they must be for illegal immigration to prove that they are not racist. Illegal is not a race!

    Being against illegal immigration does not make you a racist, unfortunately does not exclude you from not being one either.

    It is worth mentioning that other forms of discrimination might be attached to a biased opinion on the matter.

    your question was just fine. I see nothing to disagree with. but you got to understand-- there is always someone out there who is gonna use the racist card.Don't let them upset you. if that's your opinion stick with it and stand by your word.

    You are not a racist, but they have to call you something to justify their position.

    Just remember, when they point fingers at you ask them to count how many are pointing back at themselves!
