There is, however, a minor problem with this notion, namely, that  Mexican invaders will then have to travel so much farther north to get to a place worth living in.<\/span><\/p>\n

The graphic below is from a recent Trump protest rally in California.  Now Trump's negatives have been on display for a long time and there is no need to recount them.  But is he a racist?  <\/span><\/p>\n

You can always count on a liberal to play the race card.  And so it is part of their reflexive and unreflective  nature to label anyone who is not a liberal a racist.  It is a tactic that has proven effective.  So of course Trump is called a racist.  I see no evidence that he is.<\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, the issue of illegal immigration is not about race.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Most liberals think that opposition to illegal immigration is anti-Hispanic. Not so. It is true that most of those who violate the nation's borders are Hispanic. But the opposition is not to Hispanics but to illegal entrants whether Hispanic or not. It is a contingent fact that Mexico is to the south of the U.S. If Turkey or Iran or Italy were to the south, the issue would be the same. And if Iran were to the south, and there were an influx of illegals, then then leftists would speak of anti-Persian bias.<\/span><\/p>\n

To repeat, a salient feature of liberals and leftists — there isn't much difference nowadays — is their willingness to 'play the race card,' to inject race into every issue. The issue of illegal immigration has nothing to do with race since illegal immigrants do not constitute a race.<\/em> There is no such race as the race of 'llegal aliens.' Opposition to them, therefore, cannot be racist.  Suppose England were to the south of the U. S. and Englishmen were streaming north.  Would they be opposed because they are white?  No, because they are illegal aliens.<\/span><\/p>\n

I apologize to the intelligent for saying things so obvious, but the stupidity of liberals is wide and deep and we must repeat, repeat, repeat.  And repeat some more.<\/span><\/p>\n

"But aren't some of those who oppose illegal immigration racists?" That may be so, but it is irrelevant. That one takes the right stance for the wrong reason does not negate the fact that one has taken the right stance. One only wishes they would take the right stance for the right reasons.  Even if everyone who opposed illegal immigration were a foaming-at-the-mouth redneck of a racist, that would not detract one iota of cogency from the cogent arguments against allowing illegal immigration.  To think otherwise is to embrace the Genetic Fallacy.  Not good.<\/span><\/p>\n
