Reply #97: Read my post right above. It is perfectly acceptable to want to have a democratic immigration policy

[Go2Peace]

There are reasons other than racism to want to have an orderly immigration outlook. It affects many other things than what is in the media. And people have a right to have a feeling one way or another about the changes that having a very high density (people per sq mile) Nation. Right now we have a fairly low density population and that has some drawbacks, but also some benefits.
There are other legitimate policy positions as well that have nothing to do with race.

It is perfectly appropriate in a Democracy to express a variety of viewpoints on the rate of immigration. It is undemocratic that so many are so emotional about this that they want to take a dogmatic position that steamrolls others and "profiles" and slurs people who see the policy components differently.

Of course emotionalizing and trivializing it like Fox news does to gain politically is something that certainly has been proven to work. But it is intellectually honest and does it really promote sustainable democratic concepts?

We should stick to the truth and call out racial profiling. But we should also stick to our principles and not get caught up in the same type of tactics and anti-democratic approaches as those we despise.
