    Asking the borders be closed does not in any way make you racist. I am not sure where you hearing that from. I think we already have every race here in the US. The borders should be closed and people should become citizens the correct way. I think it is good everyone is pushing for the Mexican border ,but the Canadian border should be closed equally. The closing of the borders should be for the safety of the people here. The issue is not a racist one ,but a Natonal Security issue.

    I have Mexican-American friends whose grandparents came here legally ,and they are upset at their own race for not doing the same. Are they racist? No they are Americans and want security on the borders.

    You are not racist.

    People go to different countries usually to make their lives better. It's the immigration laws that are flawed. Businesses that hire illegal aliens, or housing managers who rent to illegal aliens are the ones who should be penalized. If we make things easy for them, they will keep coming. I think everyone is thinking the same way - borders should be closed, or things in the government have to change. I do not think you are a racist for thinking the way a lot of people do, except they don't say it.

    Why would it make you a racist? You are not wanting this to happen to keep a specific race out but rather illegal aliens (criminals when here Illegally), so what's the problem. I agree with you... I think we have enough criminals in the country already!

    actually, i think of our government needs it like this. they're the only ones benefitting each and each of ways around. On actual of that, they choose to grant the yankee people somebody to blame different than them. the government could desire to provide up unlawful immigration in the event that they chosen to. a bigger thank you to apply our military could be to have them patrol the border. It pisses me off to no end that i won't be able to discover any unfastened tutoring for my son, however the illegals get unfastened esl instructions for thier youngsters. Any and all reward for illegals and their youngsters must be stopped in the past any classes for U.S. voters. we've extra desirable than adequate American leaches to form by using because it quite is. Why ought to we upload to that variety basically because of the fact an unlawful popped a toddler out on U.S. soil? at present time, how is it that our gov. can choose for that an unlawful is illegitimate yet their newborns are legal. What the hell does that say? My dad was once a vocational rehab worker. i won't inform you techniques many workers comp customers he had that could desire to no longer communicate a observe of english. i do no longer comprehend in the event that they have been legal or no longer. yet i comprehend that the state paid for interpreters to attend dr. visits and each thing else for them. The worst area of it became that almost everybody of the customers (who did no longer communicate English) might take thier contract suited lower back to regardless of united states they have been from and start up up their very own business enterprise over there. It sucks each and every way you inspect it, yet quite, illegals are purely doing what they have been allowed to do without aggravating approximately severe outcomes. We enable those in power to be, so according to threat we are in a position to purely blame ourselves. i assume next time I pay attention somebody say that illegals ought to stay of their international locations and artwork on enhancing their corrupt governments, i will basically ought to ask why we won't do the comparable.

    I don't see it as racism. I believe it is the system that we need to work on. We are a nation of immigrants, so to close off our borders would be somewhat hypocritical. Once we fix the system, we wouldn't have as many problems with immigration.

    No. I think you wish to preserve the integrity of our immigration laws. I completely agree that all US borders should clearly be well scrutinized with comprehensive surveillance.

    It doesn't make you racist. It's just easier for some people to use that word rather than give a thoughtful opinion.

    when you can't give an intelligent response, resort to insults. the charge of "racist" is popular these days.
