the issue cannot be NOT RACIALIZED because 1] many victims/perpetrators are of brown skin and different language, 2] their American opponents/critics are of another race/language
This is what we call an assertion; it requires proof. You're using the
facts about an issue (i.e., which demographic it affects) to make a determination about people's
intentions. This is illogical. One has nothing to do with the other.
and 3] really, both sides put on their race-tinted goggles on looking at the matter, no matter how much certain people who are honest try to be objective and practical.
I can only speak for myself, but if it were Swedes or Italians immigrating illegally in the tens of millions, I'd say the same thing. If there were a mass influx of Canadian illegals across our northern border, I'd say the same thing.
Furthermore, while I agree that the US has a right in securing what it thinks are too porous, unsafe borders
It's not that the US
thinks the borders are porous and unsafe -- this is the fact of the matter.
I would point out that 1] this mass illegal immigration is not an aberration but an unstoppable major long term trend
Unstoppable in the sense that people will always try to illegally immigrate, and some will succeed at doing so, yes. It is not unmitigable, however, and given the costs and risks, it behooves us to try to take action to stem the tide.
2] it is not only the consequences of Mexico and its shit situation with shitty economics and shitty narcotraffic murders, but also the consequence of NAFTA's enormous effects, and illicit drug use, both of which US is highly culpable/responsible,
Valid points. We can debate the reasons for illegal immigration all day, and I'd probably agree with you on most of it. We're certainly complicit in a lot of it (especially our corporations). That doesn't change the fact that it's wrong, costly, and something that should have been addressed 20 years ago.
3] blocking them from coming in via barricades or guards along the huge border is a fucking waste of taxpayer money and will not only NOT work, it will BACKFIRE,
Not if it's done properly. This is another unsupportable assertion on your part. We've never even tried to secure the border in a sensible, uniform way, so how can you assert that it wouldn't work? Also, it would certainly cost less than the expenses we're incurring due to illegals, to say nothing of our national security.
and 4] 'shipping them out' is undeniably racist. You don't say SHIP EM OUT with a clean nose.
This is more nonsense. LOL @ "undeniably racist."
Personally, I'd be willing to grant amnesty right now if, going forward, we could SHIP NEWCOMERS OUT. Because the issue has nothing to do with race (I could care less if the 10-30 million Mexican illegals were allowed to stay provided that they became legalized), it has to do with preservation of the rule of law, social costs, and national security.
and FYI, western europe and britain are also grappling with this. I'm not saying LETS DO JACK SHIT AND LET EM COME IN but displeasure at mass immigration is almost never free from being strongly racial/ethnic in tone.
Just because some percentage of anti-illegal immigrant advocates are in fact racist doesn't make it a racist cause.
