Racism? It is not racist to ask people who are here illegally to leave Britain
Daily Mail ^ | 29 July 2013 | MARK HARPER, IMMIGRATION MINISTER

Posted on 07/29/2013 5:07:00 PM PDT by moonshinner_09

All mobile billboards aimed at illegal immigrants do is inform people who have no right to be here that the Government will help them return home voluntarily.

But the reaction they have generated from the Left and the pro-immigration industry has been astonishing. They have denounced that simple message as ‘racist’.

Let me clear this up once and for all – it is not racist to ask people who are here illegally to leave Britain. It is merely telling them to comply with the law.

Our campaign targets illegal immigrants without any discrimination at all between them. By no stretch of the rational imagination can it be described as ‘racist’.

Furthermore, the campaign is not meant to, and does not, discourage legal immigrants who have earned the right to live or settle in Britain. To claim that the poster campaign is unfair to legal migrants is silly.

You might as well claim that those posters asking us all to tell the authorities about people cheating the welfare system are unfair to benefit cheats – or to the millions of people who play by the rules and claim only what they are legally entitled.

It’s “rasis” if they hide behind their skin color in order to change the subject of them being in the country illegally.

He can explain it all he wants, the smear sticks.

The Left is racist: they hate whites.

They want poor non-whites to overrun predominantly white countries so that Communism can be brought in without military force.

Anyone who points this out or complains will be labeled with the smear you cannot undo: Racist.

Go to Japan. If you’re not Japanese and don’t have a Alien ID card or a passport, prepare to spend time in jail until they find out who you are.

They use the “R” word because it works. Time to make it lose its sting.

I’ve lived in Japan for 27 years . It’s almost impossible to reside here without an alien reg. card or a passport showing you have a visa to be here . Eventually , you will have to show someone either and if you don’t have either you are toast . I have a permanent residence status but still can’t vote .

Yeah I had the Japanese drug police kick down my door just because I was an American and there was another American with a totally different name residing on a different building on the block I lived in.

I’ve been pulled over for driving while white and carded at lease 4 times for just being a white guy walking down the street. IF YOU WANT TO GIVE AMNESTY TO SOMEONE, GIVE IT TO MY LEGAL IMMIGRANT WIFE - SHE’S BEEN PAYING TAXES IN AMERICA FOR NINE YEARS!
