I found your entry interesting do I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :)…

But the fact is, these people did break the law, either by entering the country without permission or by remaining here without permission once their visas expired. Granted, technically, they’re not all criminals. As any Border Patrol agent will tell you, not everyone who crosses the border uninvited has committed the same kind of offense. Sure, some are guilty of misdemeanors. Some have committed felonies if they’ve been deported before and brazenly re-enter the United States. But others are guilty of mere administrative violations for which the punishment isn’t incarceration but deportation.

Still, in all these cases, it is accurate to refer to these people as illegal immigrants. After all, in getting here or staying here without permission, they did something that was against the law. Reluctant to accept this uncomfortable truth, the left prefers euphemisms intended to make the violation seem less serious.

I see racism too but I see it from the left and from groups like La Raza (The Race) which is the Latino version of the KKK. Latinos learned quickly they can get their way by screaming racism in today's politically correct USA. Frankly it doesn't hold water with me anymore. It's like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Just saying something is racism doesn't make it so. And to the issue of ILLEGALS in our country…a few hundred thousand would be a problem…30 million is an INVASION!

“The non-partisan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce” now there is an oxymoron. Racism they say, it is the pot calling the cattle black. Hispanics are the most racist ethnic group in this country. Imagine if there was a group calling themselves White Chamber of Commerce. Ask any Hispanic about illegal immigration and most all will gladly tell you they do not care about our laws and that they have a right to be here.

To end this racism of the illegal aliens, what would you suggest to get rid of the illegal aliens? Maybe if we get rid of all the illegal aliens, all this racism will go with them. So, again, what would you suggest to get rid of all the illegal aliens? I will check back from time to time for your answer.

Our Government, has allowed the invasion of 30 million criminals in direct violation of Article IV, Section IV of our Constitution. they force American tax payers to pay Billions to provide Welfare, Prison cells, Educate the invaders children, free medical care,massive document fraud, & are destroying our schools, hospitals, communities, culture while Robbing, Raping, Killing & Assaulting American Citizens WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Every Non-representative including obama and holder need to be IMPEACHED! for not upholding the oath of office they swore to defend the Constitution! If these clowns were to do their job, this would all be a Moot point!

Trust me, if every person climbing through this fence had a white face, the racist groups that cry racist would be SCREAMING that we are being invaded. The truth can't be swayed, these are Mexican's coming into our country illegally. Now if the pro-invasion people don't like it they should provide white masks to everyone before they steal into this country from the Mexican boarder. The truth is the truth. 80 percent if not more (according to reports) are Mexican for pity sakes. How racist can the truth be? Stop them from coming here and then the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce won't have any problem. Geeze.

“The non-partisan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Louisiana wasn’t amused by the add — they told a local TV station Thursday that Vitter’s immigration spot is “totally abhorrent and shocking” and “racist” in its depiction of illegal immigrants. “In this ad, he has these Hollywood stereotypes, caricature-types portraying Latino workers,” a spokeswoman from the Chamber said. “First of all, he uses the word ‘illegal’ so many times.”

Latino groups have pushed for politicians and media to stop using the word “illegal” in referring to undocumented immigrants, arguing its bad connotations create “an environment of hate.”

What? I believe in calling a spade ..a spade. An illegal…an illegal

Can you imagine..taking this a little further….being charged with possession of “undocumented” drugs, ticketed for making and “undocumented” U- turn. I am sick to death of all this political correctness. Why the heck should we try to make them feel better for violating our laws.

Non partisan my foot. They aid and abet illegal immigration.

always using the race card to avoid following the laws.illegal is illegal,there is no color in that word,only what obama put in it.lets let a bunch of law breakers in from russia that are white nd see if obama nd his wing nuts call them.this is his ticket to another election nd doesnt want to see them go.hes determined to make white americans pay for his law breakers nd his muslim murders.obama nd his followers are satin ,trying to destroy every thing that america stands for because his country kenya failed to take care of their own.i say lets sue mexico nd the rest of the wing nuts for the money we have to spend to take care of their own.if they were taking care of their own,they wouldnt be here with their hands out expecting every one to take care of them.i dont feel sorry for law breakers because they know they are breaking our laws nd causing havoc on true americans.illegals bring diseases,no money or ny thing,.they have no thing to offer but a criminal life.if the law was racist,then why are there so mexicans that got amnesty?this is a smoke screen for obama to destroy america,as he has planned.hes a dictator destroying america.

[...] According to the Washington Independent, Angle is not alone in using this racist propaganda: Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) is the latest GOP candidate to come under fire for a campaign ad against illegal immigration. The ad features men and women climbing through a hole in a chain-link fence, set to arguments that Vitter’s opponent, Democratic Rep. Charlie Melancon, wants to welcome undocumented immigrants into the country. Through the fence, the immigrants are greeted by a marching band, a welcoming committee and a group holding a giant check. The non-partisan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Louisiana [stated] that Vitter’s immigration spot is “totally abhorrent and shocking” and “racist” in its depiction of illegal immigrants. “In this ad, he has these Hollywood stereotypes, caricature-types portraying Latino workers,” a spokeswoman from the Chamber said. “First of all, he uses the word ‘illegal’ so many times.” [...]

Illegal, undocumented…humm…is it against the law to come into this country without following the law? Yes I believe it still is, so if the undocumented immigrants don't want to be called illegal immigrants then maybe we shouldn't call them immigrants at all, maybe we should just call them “CRIMINALS”.

I am completely offended that these groups want us to soften the blow of ILLEGAL activities. For those that don't like the stereotype of Hispanics or Mexicans crossing a border, the fact is that the majority of illegal aliens are Mexican or Hispanic that crossed the Southern border of the United States. Just like the stereotype of a redneck is that he wears flannel and drives a pickup truck. It sounds like these organizations want to support illegal activity instead of using their pull within their respective communities to use the processes that exist to help people become citizens legally. Instead of being offended that someone is using images like these, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. This is not racism, it is someone showing they want to uphold the law.

[...] ALIENS” while a voice-over discusses Reid’s support for immigration reform measures. The ad has been called “anti-Latino” and “race baiting” by critics, but Angle said she did not see it that way. [...]

It completely amazes me when people don't understand the whole picture of politics behind immigration. People have been coming across the border to look for work and to better their lives of themselves and their family for hundreds of years and it will continue to happen for forever. Now how have all of these undocumented immigrants gotten jobs and other americans haven't? Look to the businesses that have hired them and graciously accepted them. Blaming the migrants does nothing. Go to the root source of the problem and you'll find failed policies within the government. Things could be better by allowing more migrants work visas and setting up Day Labor centers were employers and migrants can connect. This will allow safer conditions for the migrants and not cause such an eye sore for people to look and hate on when driving through their nearest home improvement store. There are good policies and bad policies. Blaming the migrants like I said before does nothing. Building a border fence that cost an average of 2.8million per mile does nothing.

It has only dramatically increased the amount of deaths on the border since 1995 when the government started militarizing the border. This has only been a burden on the taxpayers. The Corrections Corporation of America is another failed system that makes money off locking undocumented immigrants up and treating them in extremely deplorable conditions. EX: DON HUTTO detention center in Taylor,Texas. These privatized prisons are donating money into Politicial campaigns and using their power to influence new racists pieces of legislation that favor these booming business and fail to help the people of this country. THIS IS A FEAR STRATEGY! stread fear into the people that all undocumented immigrants are criminals and the ignorant will follow. There is already enough government data to back that places with high immigrant populations have lower amount of crime than low immigrant populations. Look up the facts and not by the ones made by politicians to win elections. There needs to be a better system set in place in order to solve this immigration problem. All these simple solutions that these politicians have been saying by incarcerating and building a bigger wall is only costing taxpayers more and doesn't even fully address the main issues. It also is depriving undocumented immigrants of their natural rights under the U.S. Constitution that all men are created equal no matter if you are a citizen of this country or not. Believing that you can deport 12million undocumented immigrants is a fantasy when looking at the costs of incarceration, deporation, and legal fees associated with it. People need to rise up and seek out better solutions to these not so simple problems. We need intelligent immigration reform not simple solutions by politicians that solve nothing but cause fear and negative biased against latinos documented or not. We are not upholding the law that protects its citizens only politicians and businesses that are making money of this. WAL-MART wouldn't shoot its customers just like the cartels wouldn't want to mess with the U.S. We are their customers. We are allowing a broken law to remain unfixed. THE TIME IS NOW TO FIX THIS OLD AND BROKEN IMMIGRATION POLICY.

The term “LaRaza” as in “The National Council of LaRaza” does NOT mean “the race.” Besides, “Hispanic” and “Latino” isn't a race. It's an ethnicity–just like LaRaza, properly translated, means “the people.”

Illegal is Illegal !!! It’s as simple as that. Race has nothing to do with this and everyone needs to quit falling back on it as a scapegoat. Who cares WHERE the illegals come from ? The fact is they are entering the US unlawfully and need to be punished by deportation. If the US stopped making the states the ‘freebie’ that is is for so many – they wouldn’t want to come.
There was a time when ppl came from Europe etc. and were PROUD to become Americans and to learn the language. Today however, Americans are laughed at daily by those coming in illegally and refusing to learn the language and abide by the laws.
Start by making it against the law to hire an illegal – but ENFORCE the law. Make it punishable by jail time, a huge fine and the loss of one’s business. It may not stop all from doing so , but it will stop some.
United States Citizens and the LEGAL aliens are what will make this country strong again. We fight for every other country – it’s time to fight for our own !!!!
