Let's say I told you that 35% of all white females in Philadelphia snorted cocaine. How do you think you would be treated if you were a white male from Philadelphia? How would I know that you're not one of the addicts? Give me a blood sample, ma'am! Not that simple, is it? How do you tell if a Hispanic is legal or not? Because they speak English? Because they have a certain "je ne se qua"? What distinguishes an America Hispanic from an illegal Hispanic? NOTHING. So, why on earth would legal Hispanics flee a "hostile environment"?? I wonder...

There is no such thing as being "too inclusive". Maybe we should restart that old cleansing movement... what were they called? Oh yeah, nazis.

I've already addressed the fact that illegals ALSO pay taxes to the tune of $483 billion dollars a year, and that they are a net benefit to the economy. This problem needs federal legislation, not small town policies. These create an anti-immigrant (not anti-illegal) environment and fixes nothing. PASSING THE BUCK.
