It's not racist. That's a canard that liberal RINOS throw at it to keep good conservatives in the RINO tent. It's a states-rights platform, laways has been.
Yeah, yeah. During the 50s and 69s it was "states rights", today it's "illegal".
No one's fooled. In fact the current anti-illegals movement has no reqard for states rights. They want the federal government to dictate to the states who they can issue drivers licenses to, which ones of their children pay which amount of college tuition, what reports their police have to file.....
