Did these legal immigrants by any chance talk about the $675 “filling fee” for the naturalization test? Or the thousands of dollars in transportation, green card fees, visas, and job searching? Either we change immigration laws, or we had better change Lady Liberty’s tablet (how about: “Give me your rich, your affluent, the people who already have something in the first place…and don’t forget to tip”).
“I’ve come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that.”
— John Tanton, letter to eugenicist and ecology professor Garrett Hardin (now deceased), Dec. 10, 1993
Yep, maintianing a European-American ethnic majority has nothing to do with race or ethnicity, nothing at all.
soopermexican,
So, the SPLC brought race into the argument? Not the whole rant about “anglo-saxon dominance”? Are you really so ignorant (willfully) that you can’t see past his “civilized” speech and see what his motives are? Or is this just “When the wolves are howling for blood, howl, howl with the wolves”. That didn’t work for Hitler’s Jewish supporters, FAIR wants a clear Anglo-Saxon majority, they won’t stop with Mexicans.

FAIR’S membership includes a variety of ethnic groups who donate money and strongly support FAIR’s efforts to see that immigration law is respected and enforced.

Many of these people immigrated legally, in some cases after waiting ten years or more. They came here interested in becoming citizens, and raising their children in a free democratic society which offers better opportunities for a productive and happy life than where they came from.

They very much resent having to compete for jobs with immigrants who blatantly broke US law by coming here illegally and who are willing to work at very low wages or as ‘contractors’ paying little or no taxes.

It has absolutely nothing to do with race but everything to do with respect for the US.

Uh, could it be because these groups target people of color, and you’re a person of color as am I? I don’t think any of us can be complacent when dealing with groups like FAIR, NumbersUSA, or CIS because just as surely as they’re successful in attacking and marginalizing one group, they move on to the next one. I don’t think it’s a good idea to feel that one is immune from attacks from these groups simply because one is in this country legally. I was born here, but it didn’t stop people in groups similar to these from forcing myself and my family to live under segregation. Many of these groups also target gays, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, Hindus, the poor, and others.
