Comparing "Jim Crow" laws to illegal immigration is ridiculous!! The Africans that were brought here as Slaves were NOT paid and did NOT receive ANY of the perks that illegal aliens from Mexico are receiving! Illegal Aliens CHOSE to break the law and come into the country illegally, the people that worked as Slaves did NOT have a choice and were stolen from their homeland to work for FREE!! So, STOP with your revisionist history, Illegal Immigration and The Civil Rights movement are TWO Completely different things!
The Majority of Immigrants that arrive in this country Illegally are from Mexico.. My Grandma and my mother WERE immigrants that came into this country from Japan and did so LEGALLY, my Grandma had a job (NO Government handouts) , learned ENGLISH and became a citizen.. She loves America and the opportunites that have been afforded to her!!
When someone comes into this country ILLEGALLY and demands the same rights as those that came to this country LEGALLY, they are slapping the faces of the millions of people that WISH to become U.S. Citizens or have gone about this the legal way..
You Pro-Illegal types fail to see what this is doing to our country... If you are going to go around playing the race card, maybe it can be assumed that people that believe that Illegal Aliens should be entitled to play by "Special Rules" are also racist.. You are racist against those that play by the rules to come into this country legally, you are racist against those that suffer due to lost work, identity theft, etc.. because of Illegal Immigration... Obviously allowing to one group of people to have more priviledges than another SCREAMS racist to me!
How someone could compare opposition to illegal immigration to Jim Crow laws is beyond me.
How someone could compare intentional illegal immigration to Jim Crow laws is beyond me.
Because the pro illegal types are running scared----------they know that it is a question of when; not if, when it will be 'open season' on them by law enforcement.
To leftydan6 and everyone else: when the Hispanics who came to what is now Mexico subjugated the Aztecs, etc. return to Spain; then us Americans will return to Europe. Besides: the Aztecs beat up weaker 'indigenous' groups as well prior to 1492........perhaps they need to return to their ancestral homelands.
You are absolutely right! As a black person, I consider it an affront to have the plight of blacks during the Jim Crow era compared to these manipulative border jumpers. Recently, a pro-illegal even compared the deportation of illegal aliens to the separation of families during slavery.
