52. I disagree with the premise then
The idea of closed borders and enforcing border security is not racist. If your position is that having regulated borders is racist than I disagree with you. As the laws are currently written we have a number of people who are residing in the country illegally - they are illegal aliens or illegal immigrants or whatever term you prefer to use. It is not racist to think that having people reside in the country illegally is a problem.

Many people who support this movement (which you label anti-immigrant, but which should be more broadly defined as immigration reform) are racists.

Discussions are about individuals and we are having a discussion.

I am curious about that last line; you are making it clear that you are not discussing this with me? Or what?

Bryant
