You just threw the racism gauntlet down.

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.

Well, you're wrong about that racist statement too, alleging the issue of illegal immigration wouldn't be (so) objectionable, of concern if to our south was Ireland (and the Irish) rather than Mexico and Mexicans.

IF Ireland was to our south, they'd not be so awfully violating the laws of the north, for starters. For secondary response here, I don't get any special charm to or about Mexicans/southern border peoples such that they get to be indulged in their various emotional and socio-political manipulations of our laws (something most Irish wouldn't be doing, either).

Knowing the Irish, me thinks they'd be down there changing their country/ies rather than expecting other nations to arrive and save them or otherwise provide free room and board if/when they left thier places and arrived elsewhere.

Your comments don't advance this issue beyond you airing out your racist preferences for indulging "brown skinned" people to the expense of everyone else. And that's MY point.
