Why do some claim its racist to try to secure a country's border? or a state from being ILLEGALLY invaded?

Question

I an understand that there are brown skinned people involved and I can see on the surface why someone might say .."oh its about brown skinned people therefore its racist", but obviously the brown skin issue is not the real issue..the reall issue is "illegal" and "invasion", and right to "security".

So maybe someone can give an intelligent explanation, and I hope they dont try going the route of "its a federal responsibility to curb illegal immigration...therefore states must stand by and do nothing until the feds decide to do something", or the equally absurd...."the state should have gone after employers" as the illegals prance through the state at will heading towards other american states.

If its racist to secure your country's border than I think most countries in the world are guilty of that..and Mexico itself has some of the most brutal and repressive illegal immigration measures.

Answer 1

They use the label "racist" to silence anyone who speaks outside the box of political correctness.

Answer 2

i don't be attentive to approximately the different international places yet Mexicans are between the main racist peoples in the international. They comprehend this and be attentive to the thank you to play the "race" card interior the u . s . a .. there is not any longer something racist approximately desiring guard borders and going after criminals that only take place to often be from Latin united statesa.. EDIT: What poppycock! The unlawful immigration project on the Canadian border is decrease than administration and is tiny. The Canadians are probably extra worried approximately individuals immigrating illegally! no longer focusing on a small project while there's a huge project has no longer something by any potential with race. If there exchange right into a flood of unlawful aliens from the north, then there could be cries for greater border risk-free practices there too! Geez those liberals are so conniving!

Answer 3

The inevitable racism of the Arizona law is in its implementation. It instructs police to inquire into the immigration status of those whom the police have some reason to think are in the country illegally. While it specifically states that this inquiry can't be made on race alone ultimately as long as it is a factor which the police are considering stereotypes about illegal immigrants are going to result in many more people of brown skin than white skin being incorrectly hauled off to temporary jail stays because they forgot their paperwork that day.

Answer 4

i have been to arizona and to mexico. i had great experiences with both. but i can see they have a problem and do not feel that it is racist. when most of the legal population and law enforcement has to some degree hispanic or native american ancestry it seems to me to be a contradiction to call race an issue. or even skin color. because i have met many light skinned and light haired mexicans. sorry won't hold water. and the immigrant problem is an invasion and should be treated as such, call out the marines.

is our government waiting for the chance to declare martial law before they do anything. thank you arizona for have the fortitude to act.

Answer 5

IT’S ABOUT HARASSMENT



I believe that most people do not have a problem with immigration laws

being enforced.



Illegals are a drain on America’s resources.

Liberals generally concur with this view.



What is bothering most people is how the new Arizona law shall make it

easy for cops to harass Mexicans based upon the color of their skin.



Everybody expects that this new-found power shall give cops the green light

to just become assholes with anybody who is not White regardless of how

such person conducts themselves.



I don’t know what the situation is like in Arizona.

I’m just explaining what is causing the resistance to the new law.

Answer 6

You just blew right past the most important part of this whole thing. Expand police powers to forgo a right to privacy. And for what? This lightning rod issue?



So besides the fact that you don't even pause to okay something like that for America.. Also there are some who don't think illegal immigration is really much of a criminal act.



So we disagree on both those points.



As citizens on the right or left sometimes we are fighting to strengthen a liberty. Don't knock your opponents too hard when they doing their role as a check upon our governing body. Gna mean?

Answer 7

Now, if all Mexicans were white, I do wonder what the lame cries we would hear from the liberals. Securing our borders is the right thing to do. Illegal border crossers show total disregard for the LAW, so why would anyone support them ????

Answer 8

They use racism because they really don't have a valid argument for not having a secure border. This is how the liberals operate... when they don't have valid arguments, they resort to name calling, insults, diversions and lies. The liberals do the same thing to the tea party supporters and to anyone who would dare to disagree with progressive liberal democrats, a fundamentally dishonest group.

Answer 9

the law itself isn't racist, but you know they aren't going to be stopping white people to see if they're legal. they'll find any reason to check if anyone who looks mexican is legal. truth is there could be plenty of light skinned people who get away with being illegal just because they look like they're legal. it is a racial thing when you're relying on appearance to decide whether someone should be looked into.

Answer 10

Well, if they did this stuff in Washington and Minnesota and the like, I could see the point. Otherwise, it's pretty nazi-like. I know connies don't like to deal with dumb things like American Ideals, but maybe you should. . .just this once.

Answer 11

populist opinion of the masses and law does not an intelligent conversion make. the spics don't want the law, ignore the law thus it doesn't exist to them.

Answer 12

We all know it has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with fraudulent votes and drugs.

Answer 13

The Arizona law is racists because it is meant to discriminate against people based on skin color. This is simple and clear.
