Racist Repubs
---

You know, the ones who think they can judge a person's legal status to be in the USA by the color of their skin.
The ones who see an emergency room crowded with Hispanic looking people and immeadiately think they are "illegals" rather than think these are the working poor who are either citizens or legally here (most in ER's are "legal").

Well these race based bashers are now getting what they deserve.
The Republican Party is sealing it's fate to be a minority party...forever:



Poll: Hispanics shift toward Democrats

1. Just ask everyone one question:
What would the body count be if Iraqis were White Christians?

4. Yep. Leave all other facts the same. Some folks will say to you,
"If Iraqis were White Christians, the WTC would not have been destoryed." Then it's necessary to breathe deeply and count to ten before you explain ONCE AGAIN that Iraq did not destroy WTC.

Leave all other facts exactly as they are and change that one: If Iraqis were White Christians . . . .

Most people see immediately that even if BushInc wanted to invade anyway, the People of America would never have stood for it.

We allowed it to happen, because some evil people wanted to rescue domestic oil (which was bringing in maybe 11$ a barrel in 2001 and they were going broke because it cost more to get it out of the ground than they were able to sell it for) + MANY of us are plane old ignorant and the rest of "us" are Racists.

7. The RW harps on the false notion...
...that the Hispanic immigrant is mainly here illegally for the "welfare" and medical "handouts". They love playing the "lazy Mexican" stereotype card.

I believe we do have issues with the labor pool being deluded with cheap labor from the south and don't overlook the high tech sector and the H1B and school visa overstay abuse, but that is an employer issue.

To get to the root, which I believe is illegal hiring, we must focus on each other (our friends and neighbors who pick up day laborers, nannys, etc.. illegally) and the corporations who also employ illegally to save a buck.

We hold the solution and it is not as expensive as trying to stop every single person from coming here illegally over thousands of miles border.
I do think tighter security at the borders is in order but if we, as a Nation, changed our minds and made it unbearable on those who hire illegally, the side affects of creating this draw via offering employment, which include driving down of wages and mass border crossing, I believe, would dwindle to manageable levels.
