16. Why confuse us with the facts?
Many have made up their mind already, based upon a group think philosophy, that those who oppose amnesty and illegal immigration do so because of racist reasons. After all it's always the brown skinned Mexicans that are sterotyped as the illegals, even though they make up the largest segment of illegal immigrants by a huge margin. BTW I oppose illegal immigrants of any ethnicity.

Racism is accused by groups that have an agenda of marginalizing the opposition. After all...once one is accused of racism, how does one ever defend against it? Some have a philosophy that our laws be damned. If those who cross our borders illegally are doing it for a good reason, the intent is what should count, and not the act. Should we open our borders to every poor soul throughout the world, or only to those south of the border?

Should we then throw away all our laws and base legal action on intent and not the act? The result of course would be anarchy.

Workers in the USA have been squeezed on every front by the actions of big business and greed, and be assured that illegal immigration is a by-product of a US Chamber of Commerce big business agenda to turn this country into a third world cheap labor force with already crippled social security/medicare system that will be totally busted from the load of an amnesty. Amnesty will end up being the 1000lb straw that literally breaks the camel's back .
