I think "racism" is the wrong word, but it is a pretty meaningless word anyway. Societies always object to people with other cultures moving in. Even if people believe it's about the illegals, they are just as threatened by the legal aliens and Mexican culture US citizens. As times change, we want to blame somebody for losing the what we define as our culture. Just like people did when European Roman Catholic immigrants came a century ago. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

Just a note - alcohol laws vary from state to state. Some states sell liquor in grocery stores, others have state run liquor stores. Most states are in between these extremes. We still have dry counties. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

Say that there's a 40 year old man living in Mexico with his wife, two sons and a daughter. His wife is not well and he hasn't worked in weeks. Can't find a job. One of his compadres tells him that across the border in Texas he can get a job paying $20 dollars a day working in the fields, so in desperation he makes a 50 mile trip on foot, and crosses the border,hoping to stay a couple of weeks then return home to try to find work there again. Please don't tell me you would murder this man that's only trying to put food in his family's stomach, doing labor that no U.S. citizen will do. BK

If narcotics are made legal and easy to buy, will drug addiction - and the many problems it imposes on society - go up or down? |
