I don't mind honest brown skinned Mexicans who believe in the American dream coming to the US and trying to enjoy the same freedoms that God gave to every single human.

You just threw the racism gauntlet down. That statement (^^) combined with the denigration of the white folks you describe ("ignorant redneck") is racist, much moreso has little relevance to the issues of LEGAL AND/OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION UNLESS you're suggesting that "brown skinned Mexicans" should be exempt from the laws in the U.S. just because they are... You don't mention much about legal immigration and/or citizenship, by the way.

You want me to say what exactly? Would it make you feel better if I replace 'ignorant redneck' with 'idiot'? I wouldn't want to be either one and does that change my overall point at all?

You want me to say something else controversial?

Ok. It's just my personal opinion but... I believe that if our southern border was being infiltrated by say... Irishmen- then attitudes towards their illegal immigration would be somewhat different than are current attitudes towards Mexicans. That's my honest belief. You can make of that what you will. I just don't care. I was born and bred a southern white redneck and have my own first hand knowledge of the mentality. Many of my own family members fit right into the ignorant redneck/idiot profile and it doesn't bother me at all to talk about 'em so.
