No I don't have an issue with Mexicans. If the geographical locations were different it could be Poles or Swedes crossing the border illegally that I would have an issue with. You are trying to pin the racist tag on me but sorry that wont work,
The fact that my sister and brother in law waited ten years for their residency visas, had to pass medical examinations, a background check by the FBI and I had to sign an affidavit of support in case they became a liability on the state must make them seem like chumps eh?

[QUOTE=RoadWarriorFromLP;12097533]Oh, you pretty much did that to yourself when you decided to focus all of your complaints on Mexicans as you defend the laws that have been violated by Europeans.
You should ask Melania Trump. She worked here illegally, but that doesn't bother you one whit.[/QUOTE)
To me the immigration policy should be to give preference to immigrants who will benefit the country, and in consideration of the state of the economy in many places. Importing more low skilled and lesser educated workers doesn't make much sense, or bringing in groups unlikely to integrate or accept traditional American values, doesn't make sense either.
Although I am curious, aren't a lot of the illegals people who have overstayed their visas ? I wonder what percentage of illegals are indeed Mexican. 80% , 50% ?

I've been watching some of the Clinton rally. Interesting choices for the last night, Springsteen and BonJovi. Bruce is for the white guys and John is for white women. I'll bet Trump is pissed that the POTUS stole all of the free media by appearing at the same time as the Trump rally.
I will miss the Obamas. One of my staff is 21 years old. She doesn't really remember having any other president. I'm glad for her to have grown up in an Obama America and the example they set.

So glad it's almost over. Don't usually go for a glass of wine on a Tuesday evening, but it may be an essential adjunct to watching the returns. I'm with her!
