hate to break it to you but the left isn't the side focusing on black and brown people, they are just the ones pointing it out
Problem is, you aren't pointing out the Caucasians or Asians. Therefore, if you're not calling all illegal aliens ….well......ILEGAL..... and are just speaking about one subset of illegal aliens you have an agenda. You see, I look at ALL illegal aliens as being law breakers (regardless of race, religion, economic status or whatever other criteria you may choose to use) and as such they need to be deported to their country of origin. Along with that, I don't have a problem with people coming into this country (again, regardless of race, religion, economic status, etc) as long as they follow OUR LAWS to do it. You will argue that the laws are flawed or cumbersome. I may agree with you there but if that's the case then petition your representatives to change the laws/streamline the process, etc. And again, quit just making about the "brown people" and address the WHOLE issue.
You would also argue (like so many liberals do as well as those on the right who have a "vested interest" in protecting their friends who hire illegals - see how I did that? I didn't just blame one side and call the repubs the good guys who can do no wrong ) that if not for the illegals we wouldn't have anyone to pick crops. I say that you certainly would as soon as you make it more beneficial for citizens here to go out and work in fields instead of sitting around spitting out children they barely take care of because they just want to extra money they get for more children.
You would say "but that is cruel". It's no more cruel to do it today than what it was when my grandfather and his family did it to make money and survive.
Politicians on both sides would say (not publicly on the record of course) that if they actually stopped some of all this nonsense going on they would lose votes. I say no they wouldn't because they still have to vote for someone - if they even care enough to vote at all.
We can make all the excuses we want to but you try existing in another country illegally and see if you get quarter of the "swag" that illegals get here.
While I feel bad for the people in these other countries whose gvts have screwed things up and let their own people down and do nothing to help them, the U.S. can't be the safety net for EVERYONE. We just cannot sustain that.
