As a LEGAL immigrant and naturalized American citizen who has filled every form, met every deadline and abided by every rule in order to comply with American immigration laws, I resent the implication from the open borders crowd that I am a racist for wanting the laws to be enforced.
When trying to detract from the term "illegal," open border types often point out to what they consider the inconsistency between Canadian and Mexican border enforcement. The implication is that America discriminates against "brown people." Liberals do so love to play the race card.
However, the Canadian government is not publishing literature to both encourage and help their native population cross the border into the United States "safely," Mexico is.
Canada is not threatening to sue the American government in OUR courts if we send the National Guard to our own borders in order to stem the tide of ILLEGAL immigration, Mexico is.
Canada is not outsourcing its jobs and social services to the United States, Mexico is.
Liberals are obviously ignorant of how strict Mexico's immigration laws are. The Mexican government apparently does not understand the absolute poverty some of the Honduran and Guatemalan immigrants crossing its southern border face in their own country.
Doesn't the Mexican government care where their illegal immigrants' next meal is coming from or how they will get medical care for their sick children? Why is the southern border of Mexico so tightly controlled when the northern one is a sieve? Mexico should be more tolerant of "undocumented" immigrants but they can't get past the word.
