Since every topic becomes buried under all the rhetoric and bullshit. I want to ask straight up and ONLY focus on this-
If i say i am against immigrants illegally entering the US, am i being racist? YES OR NO.
and if the answer is YES, why?
ANYTHING else is offtopic.
(and i am asking everyone that agrees with me, to refrain from responding to the guaranteed offtopic comments, best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them)

No it does not make you a racist at all.
Illegal Says it all.
ADJECTIVE:
Prohibited by law.
Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.
Unacceptable to or not performable by a computer: an illegal operation.
NOUN:
An illegal immigrant.
Oh look even here we find it...

okay ,if we all think this way, which i agree, why the hell does anyone think its racist ? but they do.people that want to enter legally cant because of the strain its putting on our system. I know a guy whos brother has been waiting for 20 years now.when his country found out he wanted to relocate, they took his vacation visa and he hasnt seen his brother in 20 years.they have ruined it for the good people who really want to come here and be citizens. most of the illegals here do not want to be citizens unless they get something free ,but hey guess what ? they already do! why is america so stupid! the naacp is an outdated organization that should be dismantled now!

No.
Just because your against Illegal Immigration, your not automaticly raceist. The fact is , like Krupa's friend, there are ways to get into this country Leagally. Do you have to make an effort?? Certainly. And sometimes the bureacratic BS is truly discouraging.. And still hundreds of thousand's still try the old fasion way, to be American. I think the racist part comes from the way we're percived sometimes... Someone quoted a stat. in another fourm, that Europeans where the ones who had the toughfist time.... Why? The "IDEA" was everyone...Right???? Equally?? Then let's do exactally that.....
This is America... all are welcome... but we aren't called the "Melting Pot", for nothing.
Just a thought....

I would not say it is the least of our worries but there are ways that would be more effective than attacking a bunch of poor individuals trying to improve their lives.
Would someone tell me why going after Iraq was so important to our country and going into Mexico and eleminating their corrupt government is not?

For the most part some fabulous answers. I would like to say this topic is not WHETHER we should worry about illegal immigration merely if it constitutes racism.

I would not say it is racism just anger in the wrong direction.
I have been trying to tell you all for awhile now that the agreement has been signed and we are part of the North American Union and no longer have no borders so technically they are not illegal.
