sweet jesus.

the matter of geography is the southern border. the one that many illegals cross over. there's no doubt that the predominance of illegal immigrants being of mexican descent has quite a bit to do with the fact that they have a far easier time of crossing the border than someone who doesn't share an incredibly long, hard to defend bit of geographical fact. since only two countries butt up to us, you'd have to think that our predominant issue with someone arriving and staying illegally has something to do with how they get here,and whether their arrival is via mexico or canada. i don't recall reading about a boatload of immigrants sailing into san francisco, or new york much these days, do you? and yes, people overstay their visa after flying in. no joke.
you want to say it's racism, i'd say it's vicinity. as an aside, i think the race card is played far, far too often. are some here racist? no doubt. is every instance of disagreement a race-based one? of course not.

sweet jesus indeed. You misunderstood. I'm not talking about illegal immigrant access. I'm talking about the origin of anti-immigrant dislike. Which, to be fair, has been here since the pilgrims landed.

And in the case of the pilgrims it was justified.
