I said that folks like you who staunchly defend illegal immigrants do so as an insult to all the legal immigrants who actually had the integrity to go through the naturalization process, culminating in their raising of hands and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in front of a magistrate. Ie, some of my ancestors who went through Ellis Island vs. just camping out and sponging off of citizens.
Right....and how does that equate to me saying that legal immigrants shouldn't have to say the pledge of allegiance? I'm still not seeing that.
What I've been saying here is that no one is proposing workable solutions to the problem, and that's why nothing is being done. You harping on an even more hole-filled process from 100 years ago (tons and tons of criminals, sick, and non-english speakers flowed in back then....the slums that resulted were worse than anything in any city in America today by far)...does not constitute proposing something sensible for today.
You're protecting the illegals, and justifying their right to entitlements granted to full-fledged citizens. That stinks on ice. Then you pulled the race card, which I found hilarious, considering I'm a graduate of the Defense Equal Opportunity Managagement Institute, and had many subordinates from all ethnic groups under my command. Ask any of my superiors or subordinates, and they'll tell you I'm color-blind, but very much performance-critical.
Again, my point was that dehumanizing people and comparing them to animals inevitably will make a large number of people uncomfortable, and whether they tell you or not, they will suspect racism is the motivation for it. Are you saying that's not true? Or are you just repeating that it's "the race card" even after I said twice that I don't think you're a racist?
"I have black friends", btw, tends to give that impression also, as does "Hey, I can't have ever said a racist thing because I employed black people", especially after you just got done calling mexicans cockroaches. No, that doesn't prove anything, and no, it's not necessarily right that people jump to this conclusion....but it certainly doesn't help motivate people on the fence to join your calls to scatter the Mexicans.
