Some Latinos say immigration debate is tinged with racism

[b]Immigration is an important issue in the United States, but is it something the GOP nomination for president should hinge on? Is there a reason that as unauthorized immigration from Mexico to the U.S. steadily declines, the rhetoric becomes ever more charged?

Is racism part of the equation?

“The immigration debate has been influenced by bigotry and fueled by nativist extremists such as former Congressman Tom Tancredo and State Senator Russell Pearce of Arizona who sponsored a law that violates the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution,â€

Blah, blah blah blaaaaahhh the same old song and dance is getting soo boring!

Race is irrelevent. If that's the only argument they are left with, well it's a failure. Documentation has no "race". Illegal aliens are NOT invited nor welcome. Now GET OUT!

Every time they open their mouths,it is the same ole story and nothing different what-so-ever.

So,the Tea Party is an extremist movement and only directed at racism?.....am I to understand that right?

If that is so what is MALDEF and ACLU and LaRaza and others? All defending their own (as they refer to it) and they get millions of dollars from our government and their deep pocketed corporation donors to promote and condone breaking our laws by allowing illegal aliens into the country and allowing them to work and collect social benefits.hmmmmm.....all of which are against the laws.........

So what they do, is ok and what we do, to defend our nation is all wrong!

Wow

If you are for the rule of law you are labeled a racist and a Republican. Same old stuff from the LaRaza crowd.

Is racism part of the equation?

Yes... and the substantial majority of "racism" is coming from their side! They seem to believe that a certain ethnicity is exempted from having to obey our immigration laws and that special considerations based upon race/ethnicity are in order!

With supporters like La Raza (The Race) in their corner, does any more need to be said?

Again, it is predictable For a LACK of valid arguments the Pro-ILLEGAL Elitists, Elitist Politicians, Elitist Political Contributors, ILLEGAL EMPLOYERS, ILLEGALS, and other Special Interest Groups benefiting financially from the ILLEGALS always fall back on attacking anyone who disagrees attempting to label them as racists desiring to place the United States Citizen on the defensive as a side tracking maneuver to divert from the real issue of ILLEGALS invading the United States.

Same old song and dance show they always play.Its not racism,its about being legal and illegal right and wrong.Deport them is the only way.

Its NOT about RACE, Its about OBEYING THE LAW!!

It's inspiring to say that today NCLR is in 41 states, and Puerto Rico... and the District of Columbia.

NCLaRaza is everywhere!

That means that in virtually every part of this country, there are organizations that work for the advancement of our familias.
