It's clearly *possible* to understand an issue at a distance...which undermines your earlier attempt to impeach my opinion because I live in Pennsylvania rather than someplace close to the Mexican border.

I had attributed your failure to know that illegal immigration is a serious issue here (rather than merely an excuse for me inject my redneck racism into the policy arena) to being unaware of how things are here in the piedmont and tidewater areas of the Mid-Atlantic states, as opposed to being a wilful and deliberate red herring.

Maybe I shouldn't have been so charitable.

But not for a foreigner?

And you believe you are charitable?


You are a racist.

No, it's possible. You just aren't doing it.

That's because I don't have one. But you're busted.
I'm all done with this issue; there's been no real movement for days, and you just blew whatever last shred of cred you might have had.

Have a nice day.
