We have white-collared whites whining about the 'aire of entitlement' of black people, presumably instilled during the Jim Crow days and on the other hand we have black people who feel displaced by Latinos and who refuse to acknowledge that there is brotherhood present. How difficult is it to do things a little differently this time around? Are we so single-minded and lacking creative problem-solving techniques that we absolutely must create another under-class in this nation? "What part of illegal don't you understand?" is a cop-out, pure and simple. It's laughable that the illegal population has to reach millions before we finally decide that they shouldn't be here. They have contributed more than 600 billion dollars to the Social Security suspense file, they are responsible for 2 billion dollars of agricultural revenue in North Carolina alone. Their contributions are indisputable. The "illegal" point is moot. We've enjoyed their fruits for the past 15 years - and this is what they receive in return: a country too racist to acknowledge them. Sickening....I find it amazing that a country as perceptive as ours (USA) cannot learn from past mistakes.

Fascinating interpretation, that. So, everyone who disagrees with a hard-line approach to illegal immigration is "actively seeking to undermine our country"?

It does carry similarities to Jim Crow which I lived through as a Black male growing up in the south in the lates 50s. I think you need to re-read the article.I just read the article and I have to say while I don’t like illegal immigration I find that what is happening is even more frightening.
