That's pretty racist of you

I don't know if you noticed or not, but I am a rare Freeper who defends Hispanic immigrants, and your reply joins a small chorus that says I am racist. Shame on your chorus.

Life's ironies. If you only knew of my proud personal demographics . . . he . . . he . . .

Bringing race into a discussion where it's not relevant is race baiting at a minumum, and probably racist. No one here cares where the illegals come from. In many areas of Calif. Asians make up the illegal problem. It's still a problem that we should not have to pay for.

Your personal demographics wouldn't tell me a thing, you lumped all hispanics together which isn't something I would do and most that I know make a distinction between immigrants and US citizens and also which country they're from. I actually know few hispanics who prefer that descriptor ---most Mexicans from Mexico call themselves Mexican, US born descendents of them are Chicanos, most Puerto Ricans are Puerto Ricans, Americans of Spanish descent are Spanish-American or Spanish-American-Indian ---for a while they were using Hispanic and some still do but it seems most want Spanish-descended now.
