Surge in Immigration Laws Around U.S.

[queequeger]

Oh, and I'm not contesting it. Whoever said (not looking) that it was a tool of those in charge, a war cry if you will, was correct (sounds like communism/terrorism war cries of the 20th and 21st centuries to me!).

Now, that's not to say that there aren't many a rural Yankee who's not terribly racist (I recently heard slurs I'd never heard before in Pennsylvania), but it's instances are more confined and less socially acceptable. The cops in good ol' Augusta GA love to talk about their 'niggers' and 'nappy heads,' out in the open and to the populace. It's so much more open and pervasive, I've got to say I had a case of culture shock worse than my first trip to the ex-soviet bloc.

And of course there's higher instance of minority land ownership, rage, that's because there are more minorities. I live in a burg that is something like 45% white... but I'll bet a dollar to a donut that the white ownership is 60% or so.

And finally, 'criminals and people with disease' make up such a small portion of our immigrants, and indeed the whole planet, that casting these overarching policy nets to capture them (while simultaneously eliminating the 99% of those who would make wonderful editions to any society) is just plain wrong, and based on the racist (yeah I went there) notion that 'Mexi-cuns and negroes is bad.'
