Really? How did our white dudes in the truck know the people they were taunting were illegal? GASP! They didn't. Given the ages of the hispanics they were likely legal. But I'll tell you what. If you have a video of them taunting a Canadian or Swede we'll talk. Common sense indeed. They were targeting people for taunting based solely on race. So that pretty much makes it racial. Unless they have some special X-Ray vision that spots who is and isn't illegal, race is ALL they have to go on. But no, that wasn't it. Please.
Yes, it was MEXICANS (or mexican americans) that were taunting the guys in the truck based on their race (caucasian).
Does it MATTER if those mexican kids were legal citizens or the children of border jumpers?? The fact of the matter is that they are demonstrated the level with which they are OFFENDED at the mere SIGHT of an american flag.
Now, I'm cool with mexicans celebrating cinco do mayo and all that, displaying their flag... but when they start removing american flags, or calling legal mexican immigrants slurs like 'coconut' (white inside)... at a certain piont it becomes a declaration of war, whether or not you accept that they are attempting a takeover of at least sections of america.
It will for a little while. Then you are right. It won't. Too much cost for too little gain.
What do you mean, too much cost for too little gain??
Flight to mexico : 500$
Then that illegal immigrant is no longer draining on any social services which taxpayers pay into, no longer working a job for a fraction of the wage of an american worker.
At the same time, a legal citizen can come in and take that job, pay the taxes on his employment, the employer is matching the taxes, that money goes back into the economy, reducing unemployment, etc....
There is ALOT to gain from rooting out the illegals (of any nationality, it just happens the vast majority are mexicans... not to mention that most illegal aliens arrived legally but simply overstayed)
What makes you think the altercation was about Illegal Aliens?
Is it possible that the problem was about people supporting the Illegal Alien invasion of their country?
I think you have created a strawman so you don’t have to argue the real problem.
It's funny how people can actually SUPPORT illegal immigrants.... They'll frown about downloading a song, but they'll let these people flout the law.
I'm not sure why people always think illegals will need to be rounded up and deported. That doesn't follow.
Every time a law is passed or enforced which is against illegal immigration, the illegals leave all on their own.
If I were an illegal I sure as hell wouldn't hang around either. I would take off to a place more accommodating because my goal is to make money, not make a political stand.
Like electricity, illegals take the path of least resistance.
There will never be any need to bus up millions of illegal even if the FED came down hard with devastating punishments for businesses and illegals alike.
So, no, we don't have the money to jail them, but neither do we need the money to jail them. Simply enforce the laws on the books, streamline the legal immigration process, and build the damn fence.
Crazy concept you got going... enforcing laws. You gotta be a racist.
Seriously though, if you just made it so illegal aliens had no way to get work(period). Then they would starve themselves out of the country.
