To answer the OP's original question: "Why are people so quick to call people "racist" because they are
against illegal immigration?"

It is really quite simple. People with extreme viewpoints such as those who fingerpoint and call people racist KNOW that certain buzzwords have extremely negative connotations. How many times have you seen a serious debate or argument going on and then finally one side gets frustrated and starts calling someone a Nazi, or Racist, Bigot, Sexist, etc. etc.?

It is easy to ignore solid facts and reasonable logic to play to peoples emotions when you start using words that are negatively associated. If I am talking with someone on the street and out of the blue I scream loudly and call them racist and make a hysterical scene, there are going to be people who take my side without even knowing what is going on. No one wants to take the side of the person I am accusing of being a 'racist'.

IMO the difference between Mexican illegal immigration and other nationalities is the fact that only Mexicans are able to illegally enter the US...sin papeles, as it were.


Not true, Canada also shares a border with the US



Yes, but how many Canadians are living in such poverty that they would be willing to do almost anything to leave it and find a better life?

Alaska is also a point of entry for illegals from Russia but noone seems concerned about that either.


Oh you don't have to worry about that anymore. I heard they have a plan to put a stop to it. They are going to set up a guard post on Sarah's front porch to watch for anyone sneaking in that way.

Who wants no immigration at all?


That's made up nonsense......


Screaming "Racist" has been the fallback position of the American Left for 25 years


Well,you got booted clear off the boards for calling me anti-Semitic,for criticizing the Israeli government.

lol

Now you`re going to lecture folks about screaming racism.I think the dawg needs a walk.

There are plenty on the left (including me)who don`t want illegals here and for good reasons.But bigotry, isn`t one of them.

That,seems to be burdening the conservatives more that it is the liberals.

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2007-11-22/news/racist-daisy-chain

Knowing that AZ`s new law was authored by someone "paling" around with neo-nazis, is something folks should know about.

The problem really for conservatives, is all the racists,white supremacists and neo-nazis that are behind things they support, like AZ`s new anti-immigration law.Not liberals pointing this out.

Now if conservative want to acknowledge this flaw and disassociate themselves from the racists,then they should,like this legit ,anti-immigration group did

http://www.azcentral.com/news/election/azelections/articles/2010/05/22/20100522arizona-immigration-law-rally-neo-nazis.html

But don`t scream and whine about how awful the big bad world is and pretend the problem doesn`t exist.It only make ya`ll look guiltier.
