    I think this is just the way some people atone for their white guilt.

    Other people are not supposed to resist because it makes those who are participating in this seem stupid.

    thinking about reasons why people do things equates to approval of them doing things?

    Is it lonely on Mars?

    So you misrepresent what he said, because he was lying and does not really mean what he said.

    Got it.

    Don’t be so silly. It’s called legislation.........legislation was spearheaded in 1965 by Teddy Kennedy to change our immigration laws to ensure that we would transcend from the super-majority white country we had always been.......to the shithole we are becoming in less than two generations. We can change that........but time is running short......

    Expecting people to follow immigration laws is not racist.

    Countless "Mexicans" have families who have been American citizens since 1848. Why are they still called "Mexicans" instead of Americans?

    Alright, let me see if I can make this clearer for you, I forget that not everybody is a reading comprehension super-genius like me. We're talking about reasons for events to be committed aside from body count. "Aside from body count" means "anything relating to the event that isn't body count," mkay, "because it's unusual" is one of the literally infinite things that fall into the category of "aspect relating to event that isn't body count."

    I guess the same can be said said for African Americans...why the African part?

    The Mexicans are proud be Americans and love this country, unlike the Mexicans I knew in California. While the Mexicans here don’t want to let go of their Mexican heritage, they don’t want to be associated with Mexico. Go figure.

    I’m assuming you didn’t see the Mexican flag flying in the background in El Paso as Chris Cuomo broadcasted all day on CNN........

    If Trump’s rhetoric is the cause of all shootings, then we just need to shut him up and no gun control is needed.

    Sorry buddy, I'm just too intelligent for rhetorical mottes to end my assault. People are too cowardly to say that they look at brown people in their own countries, feel derision for them, and don't want them to come here. People are too cowardly to say that they think African-Americans haven't done enough to fix their situation, and deserve zero help from whitey to improve their lot.

    Unlike where I live now where many people have concealed carry permits, the people in El Paso do not. Ask a person in El Paso how many guns he owns and he will say not many, just 8 or 9. Believe me, I’ve asked a lot of El Pasoans that question. They keep their guns at home. There’s a reason why El Paso bills itself as the country’s safest city.

    BS he most certainly did not, he wanted to make it merit based and add more but remove the free family visa's and lotteries. Pretty much like all other civilized countries do it but you know lefties need future voters so they scream racism. Either way congress could do these things in a day, they won't because they don't give a crap about the illegals and that includes the left.

    Read your particular State's Constitutions Bill of Rights section (Declaration of Rights) on the Right to Bear Arms.

    California doesn't have that Right to Bear Arms section in its Constitution but the other States do. They are very plain that it is an individual right.

    "Make it merit based" is a great way to reduce the overall number if you're a racist who doesn't want brown people here.

    Huh, weird, ain't it?
