64. No racism or xenophobia here
Maybe the business owners are legal citizens, and maybe some are not. But the workers are not, in many cases. I have a couple questions for you: Our companies are moving to other countries, where labor is cheaper, and thousands of our citizens are out of jobs, while millions of people are entering our country illegally and competing with our citizens for jobs, and you don't see problems, right now and in the future? Do you think it is out of line to expect a government to protect the rights and needs of its own citizens first? To ensure a measured flow of immigration, and expect immmigrants to go through legal channels to become citizens? Is that being a xenophobe or a racist to you?
