We agree on a lot, but this statement here is just plain inaccurate. I've heard this same thing recycled countless times in even more disguised ways. There are more non-Latino illegals than you think. Plenty os Asian illegals and plenty of white skinned illegals. You just have to know where to look. The only ones that make this a race issue are the ones who want it to be one.
Furthermore, having been to Mexico quite a few times, I can also add that not everyone living in Mexico (hence not everyone coming from Mexico) is brown skinned. I'm half-latino and against illegal immigration and it's amnesty proponents, and realize that this claim of some sort of "inherent racism" from the Anti-Amnesty crowd against only brown skinned illegals is a myth only perpetrated by those who
want it to exist. Sorry, but I don't like to let inaccuracies, even if unintentional, spread this way.
