If you think illegals are good people, you're a rasist.

Let me put it simply, there is statistically a higher rate of murders commited by African Americans. Would you find it offensive if I said that blacks are murderers and bad people? I sure as hell would, because only a very very small percentage of the population actually are (though comparative percentages make it look far larger). You're using statistics to stereotype basically.

You don't get to delete this just yet ;)

to be clear, while the number of blacks who commit murder is higher, the real cause of murder is more economic, then it is racial. The number of very poor white people who commit murder is the same as poor black people, and the number of middle class and upper class black people who commit murder is the same as white people.

It just happens they there is a disproportionate number of black people who are poor, so it slants the figures.

How about we approach this differently....

Today the US chooses who they let into there country. They might chose based on criminal record, volume of immigrants, education background, whatever they chose. What your saying, is the US has no right to make that call, that whoever wants to enter the US has a right to be here, and regardless of what the US governments thinks about it, the immigrants are right.

Is that your position?

No dammit. Have you not read my posts saying I agree that the USA cannot allow the current flow of illegal immigration to continue? I'm pretty sure I've posted it at least twice so far in this thread. I'm just saying that you're unfairly demonizing the illegal immigrants as being 'bad people'.

Also if you look at the economic demographics you will find that hispanics are generally in the same area as African Americans.

 

Also the only reason I deleted that is because I felt it added nothing to my post and had the possibility of becoming a distraction.
