Immigration & Race - Two Different Conversations...

Good Afternoon,

Hope everyone had a good weekend...

Yes, another post...But hey, it's from your pal POV...

HAHA!!

It's obvious to say that immigration is a hot topic around here as of late. But, I am seeing a whole lot of the conversations turning into heated racial debates.

Folks, immigration (legal or illegal) and race are two entirely different conversations.

I am not trying to insult anyone's intelligence here but c'mon.

It's OK to want people to come here and do it legally.

It's OK to not want people to come here and do it illegally.

So, where does race fit into this equation?

A majority of the immigration in this country comes from Mexico. Most are doing it the right way and some not. I will give you all that.

However, this anti-immigration sentiment combined with racial biasness is ludicrous.

It's 2008 already...It's just old & stale...

This place got mean and ugly without me. I bring the love to the table and keep the peace. I'm like the Jesus of the Fox 4 blogs.

Hey LDS,

Yea, it seems that you are the seam that holds this place together alright.

I know I didnt step up!!

LOL @ being the "Jesus" of the blogs. That, my dear, was over the top.

Haha, yeah, I cracked myself up with that one.

On topic, some people just can't distinguish between illegal immigrants and Mexicans and that has been my problem with some folks on this blog from my first day here. And I don't care how stale it gets, I can't stop myself from commenting when people do that.

No, I understand LDS...

I was referring to the same ole arguments being stale.

It's good to see new people's opinions though. I have to admit.

As I have been reading (and replying) some of the blogs pertaining to legals I too have wondered WTH some people keep mentioning color and/or specific races/nationalities.

Illegal is illegal no matter what nationality, race nor color of their skin.

Exactly my point Dyneshia!!

It's ludicrous to have them in the same conversation.

This isnt Nazi- ruled Germany in WWII, although it is very apparent some would like it that way.

Your gf TheReb was touting the benefits of the Berlin Wall. So, you are more spot-on than you realize.

Thanks for having a sense of humor about it, TM. Hold me? I feel like such a horse's ass.

I was just gonna offer an olive branch, try to get you two together. I hate that you're fighting.

And POV could have deleted it and helped a sista out, but noooo. But it's ok, Mr. Sadist knows I'm a little masochistic.
