    What does race have to do with stopping people from entering a country illegally? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

    Nothing. Every country has the obligation of protecting it's borders. And it is good that americans do that. But the attitude among a racist minority goes beyond that. The kind of discourse I see here in the Soapbox looks like an American version of Francois-Marie Le Pen and it's Front Nationale. At a close look, no one is normal.

      The most racist people I ever met was French. They are the most anti-semitic people by far. They are still defacing Jewish graves in that country. We had some soccer players from France, and they always talked how they hated Jews. They never took showers either and after pratice smell relly bad, but that goes without saying.

        That's a hell of a distinction. Do you think walls to keep things out have some magical property that make them more effective than walls to keep things in? Please tell us how that works.

        There was an invention made many years ago to control this. They called it...a "gate".

          I don't think any of those 3 words apply to the majority of them. They're neither lazy, nor criminal, nor invaders. What they are is illegal. Alvaro

          Actually, they are. By definition, if you break a nation's laws and take actions to avoid punishement, you are a criminal.

            Funny, I never heard anyone say anything bad about The Mexican people. Can you point to a thread? All I heard was bad-mouthing illegals, which of course, is ok. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

              I think Japan is far more racist. And the most racist people are probably the Jewish. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

                  That does not surprise me at all. In fact, almost every people is racist. What matters is how they behave with other races. -------- "I say no to drugs, but they don't listen." - Marilyn Manson

                          I see... "lazy" because they didn't have to struggle to get here. The problem is that to remain here, they need money. And unless they have lots of that, they have to get their butts working.

                              Well by definition, yes. But I would not put going over the speed limit on the same level as tresspassing. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                                So morality is going to stop people crossing the border? People are going to get to the fence and see the error of their ways? I think JCs point (and JC can feel free to correct me here) was that walls don't work, not that they are immoral.

                                      I see... "lazy" because they didn't have to struggle to get here. The problem is that to remain here, they need money. And unless they have lots of that, they have to get their butts working.

                                      Nah, an invasion translates to hostility. Most of these people just want to live and work here, like you and I do.

                                      If he took actions to avoid the legal consequences for doing so he certainly is.

                                      The ones I've met are entirely hostile. (Of course, most of the Americans I meet are also hostile so maybe its just me) "You get that which you tolerate"

                                        It is racist of you to assume that fair skinned people can not call someone a racist! :) How dare you deprive me of my human right to accuse and judge someone! :laugh: Jusk in case the joke is missed, I am joking here :) Hey don't worry, I can handle it.

                                          still on your fucking racist kick, huh? how about we move a couple thousand unwanted guests to your fucking corner of the world, demand that you give them free schooling and medical care, then call you a racist when you decide to enforce your borders / your laws - assuming you have either.
