When I think of illegal immigrants, I think of when all of our for fathers came over here and raped and murdered the Indians of North and South America. They were all illegal immigrants.

Are you saying that there were laws in place at that time that specified who could legally come to this land? And that our forefathers broke those laws by coming here? Can you show me the immigration laws of that time?

I think perhaps various Native Americans tribes might have had a couple of laws regarding theft, rape, pillaging, and invasion of territory,

Im not opposing the fact that being in the country illegally is illegal.. Im just saying that its in poor taste and when the illegal community does retaliate they will be ridiculed for it.. So why is it wrong to ridicule the antagonists?.. Most illegals are trying to make a living.. nothing more.
And in a very very subtle manner.. Whats the first race that comes to mind when the words "Illegal Alien" pop up? Hmm? Indian? Sri-Lankan? British? Canadian? No.. Mexican.. And we all know it.. there is no denying it. So in a way this is racist. Right?
And youre right, its not illegal to be gay .. or white.. It IS illegal to be gay and married though. But that's a different can of worms
And you cant deny that I just made some AWESOME points.. Its ok.. You can admit it

A more appropriate statement would have been, "They probably dont commit that crime in such numbers as the Mexicans do because it's not as easy for them to cross the border"
Right?

There is something wrong with assuming.. Would you assume that a woman with short hair is a lesbian? Or that someone that is speaking in another language doesnt speak English? Or that every Mexican is illegal?

What gave Europeans the right to do what they did to the Native Americans?

Er no because most woman that i've met with short hair aren't lesbians, so I wouldn't assume anything.
And I wouldn't assume that I know what languages someone speaks if I don't even know them.
But we can see that most US illegal immigrants ARE Mexican, that's why I DO assume on that.
