149. " A good number of them are involved in gangs"
Is utter racist crap. Maybe in *your* special reality, undocumented workers are a criminal class but in shared reality, they are not. The statement was not "there are undocumented workers in gangs" and there is a difference even if it is lost on you.

And, fyi, the fastest growing gangs in California, for example, ARE NOT Latino gangs.

If people would spend as much time vilifying the US government for their ILLEGAL interventions in Latin America, maybe "the immigration problem" could be resolved. How much more disrespectful of sovereign law can you be to look the other way when foreign heads of state are deposed, assassinated, when elections are stolen, when proxy wars are funded with your tax dollars? That pretty much makes you a collaborator, doesn't it?

So, lecture me on how "disrespectful" of our laws undocumented workers are. But have the intellectual honesty to do it in context.
