"Since you have so much compassion for Illegal Mexican immigrants")

Not me. As I've posted before, I have no affinity for Mexicans or Americans of Hispanic descent.

To recognize that foreign laborers are essential right now to sustaining our economy does not mean that I am particularly fond of Hispanics.

I don't speak Spanish, have Hispanic relatives, work with Hispanic or have any close Hispanic friends.

To recognize that fences cannot stop men willing to risk their lives to feed their families does not mean that I like those men. It just means that I understand the nature of the problem.

If I had my personal preference, instead of Mexican laborers, we would have Western European laborers with blond hair and blue eyes pouring across our borders bringing their beautiful daughters. But that isn't reality. Neither is "sealing the border".

To recognize that Republicans must not unnecessarily alienate Hispanic voters with gratuitous insults if we hope to keep Hillary out of the White House is not the same as saying that I want to invite them to live in my house.

However all my relations with Hispanics have been good. Can't say that about Nigerians and half a dozen other types.

Oh please, do go on about how much other people's racism offends you. Your righteous indignance shines like a beacon, leading the way to true enlightenment.

Care to explain what issue you have with "Nigerians and half a dozen other types"? Because it sure sounds racist, although you probably have a perfectly logical explanation as to what you actually meant.
