More Evidence Illegal Immigration isn't about RACE
Irish Americans say debate over reform as important to them
Peter Marcus, DDN Staff Writer
Friday, March 5, 2010
Irish immigrants would like lawmakers and the public to know that the debate over immigration reform is not about one single group.
Speaking in Denver yesterday, Irish American Ciaran Staunton, president of the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform, said people often forget that of the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in America, at least 50,000 of them are from Ireland.
The debate over comprehensive immigration reform is often centered around the Hispanic community Ń because of America’s close proximity to Mexico Ń but Staunton points out that for thousands of Irish people, the debate is just as important.

If you disrespect our nations laws, you disrespect me and my fellow Americans...Laws are there for several reasons and first and foremost they are to protect us and our nations sovereignty.

It irks me the over-use of the "Race" card. I have been trying to research to find studies and references to show that illegal immigrations is not about race. I invite all of you to help me in dispelling this "card from the bottom of the deck" mentality.
