I think we have all become aware of your heavy use of the racist brush. I just happen to call you out on it. But please feel free to talk to yourself as much you want, if you want to get though to me just send me a pm so you don't make a fool out of yourself with your silly tantrums.
BTW, did you say US leeches from Canada? Please start a thread on that one, I am sure it will be put into the HOAX section.
Mad Love...

How does it feel for others to enter your country without permission and take from you?
Answer the question?

I don't support illegals, I don't "hate America", I hate it when we feel the need to give up rights for "security".
What I hate is when people blindly support any solution, to any problem, when it involves stripping away basic human rights, as well as infringe on the constitutional rights of the people who live here.
I bet you supported the Patriot Act and think anyone who is against it is
"against AMURIKKKA!" too, right?
I'm an American, I have family members for several generations who have fought in conflicts around the world, and as an American, the one thing embedded into my being is the idea that the individual has rights that can't be infringed upon, and that choosing to infringe upon certain rights for security brings neither (to paraphrase that Ben Franklin quote). Not only that, but your character and your virtue is sacrificed in doing so, two things I myself choose to hold dearly too.
I don't believe this is a case of a racism though. Racism is the belief that one race is better or worst than another, and that's it. What this IS though is prejudicial. The law passed allows a slippery slope of prejudice, and abuse that will definitively come from this, something that can't be denied. I don't give a damn if the governor is going to make extra extra sure that it doesn't happen, because it WILL happen.
Sadly it's a situation that has people stuck between a rock and a hard place. While I VEHEMENTLY disagree with you on this issue, I fully understand why you feel this needs to be done because. and I'll be honest with you, there aren't many solutions for this problem. I'm certainly one to argue that we need to fix the leak before we bail the water out first, but beyond that the solutions for getting illegals out of this country are few and far between.
But regardless, this doesn't mean we should sacrifice fundamental American beliefs for security. It seems like some people in this country will cry (and rightly so) whenever the constitution is ripped to shreds by politicians and yet when it does something YOU support, you're OKAY WITH IT! Me, I'm not a hypocrite, I care more about the principles of which America is founded on than anything else. Because I see them as principles not only allowed to Americans, but any and every human being, and when we decide we can sacrifice these rights we're just inching towards stronger and stronger government and a stronger totalitarian feel of America.
You ask me a loaded question, I'll ask one for you. Why are you okay with destroying the constitution when it suits YOUR needs? Why do you hate America's principles.

Racists? Is that the only paintbrush you have left. Every comment you had thus far was racist this, racist that. Try living outside the racist mindset you have gotten yourself trapped into and see how the world has evolved since Bows and arrows.
What happened with the Indians, ancient Africans, East Indians, Spartans, Mongolians, Nomads, etc tribe etc tribe is part of history. Back then there were no boundaries and if boundaries were set up then the people who set up those boundaries weren't strong enough to maintain them and got displaced.
So get over yourself and the past and try to live in the present and worry about the future. I suggest quit drinking that Hatorade and drop that racist paintbrush down.
