We cannot simply dismiss any concern about immigration as racism.

Hmmm- Looks like Mr. Blair is getting more and more wisdom every day.

I really like our president, but I wish he'd get some of the same clarity. Although he doesn't use the term racism, he does seem to be pandering to the Hispanic vote in the Southwest. Yet many Hispanics are bothered by the illegal immigration problem here. (I am in California)

All us "Anglos" aren't so concerned about the people from Mexico, and Central America as we are about people using the Southern border for netharious purposes.

Anecdotal reports about abandoned Islamic prayer books, in Arabic, and prayer rugs found in isolated locations on ranches in Southern Arizona gives one the creeps. One wonders what these folks brought in besides the rugs and books that they didn't abandon.

#2 from San Diego, BigEd, I'd say we Anglos have real concerns on illegal immigration. The illegal population is a real drain on tax dollars and hospital emergency rooms, and they never contribute enough in sales taxes/payroll taxes to make up teh diff. Close the border to illegals!

#3 Frank G- I'm in the LA Area, 100 mi north of you, and we have the same problem. For example : there are constant problems with the funding of the university hospitals (USC, UCLA) because of the high %age of illegals who are admitted.
But as bad as that is, as I said above, an impoverished Latino will not be toteing a canister of Ricin to the LA City Hall!

#5 The Moorish assassins must be driven back to the borders of the foul desert wastes from which they came!

Maybe not, but a Latino convert to Islam might.

#8 I'm in San Diego as well, and I don't think anyone really looks at the other side of the illegal immigration issue.

Basically the migrant workers and illegals act as a safety valve for Mexico, allowing them to avoid political change for decades. Mexico, with a hard working population, tons of mineral wealth, and a border with the US could easily have clawed their way up to the first world if they'd had decent governmet. The safety valve prevented that from happening.

Bleeding heart pro-illegal immigration types have doomed millions and millions of Mexican citizens to poverty over the decades because of their misplaced priorites.
