re: How can anyone be racist anymore?

The wall has nothing to do with race or being racist. It's purpose is help follow the law and encourage documentation and LEGAL immigration. The problem is following the LAW and being able to enforce those LAWS. If we don't have control and a handle of who is here, we cannot begin to do this properly.

I am in a business where I encounter south-of-the-border immigrants often, I like them, they are reliable and hard workers. There are also bad apples in the bunch.

I just believe that we need to know how many are here, who they are. They should be able to provide documentation and identification. If they break the law, we should be able to deport them. If born here, their children should not automatically be citizens, but I also believe that there should be reasonable path to citizenship. Their income should be be taxed for a specific set of immigrant benefits. The employers should have immigrant payroll taxes. This shite is not difficult but somehow our government can frick up anything.
