At least the racism is totally un-veiled in La Raza. What other organization could name itself “The Race” and not cause an uproar. Can you image the uproar over someone holding up a sign that read “White is Beautiful?”
When being invaded I don’t don’t think that the race of the invaders is the salient point. The 'Reconquista' — Mexico's Dream of 'Retaking' the Southwest is the reason for the millions of Mexican illegal aliens entering this country as an army of invaders to achieve that takeover.

It’s ticksey that so many people who are in a country illegally could assemble in a major city and wave the flags of another country while making demands for more rights from their host nation, that’s what’s tricksey.

Is it racism to object to an invasion? What do you think the reaction would be to an invasion of the same magnitude by Germans or Italians?
I don’t want to sound paranoid, but when you see hundreds of thousands of people rallying around a foreign flag it’s the next thing to foreign insurrection

How to Lose the Brain Race
While the United States perversely tries to corner the market in uneducated hotel maids and tomato harvesters, other industrial democracies are reshaping their immigration policies to invite the skilled immigrants that we turn away.
The United States can always use another Albert Einstein or Alexander Graham Bell. But with the vast pool of poorly paid, ill-educated laborers already within our borders, we do not need a third of a million new ones a year.

Illegal immigration is illegal, so why should anyone push for an amnesty?
If we use the poor logic of liberals and Mexicans, should all murderers also be granted an amnesty?
