While like the illusion it's the '60's again, man, it might be political fun to say that not wanting amnesty equals racism, simple and pure fact, so obviously anybody who doesn't want amnesty for illegal aliens is a racist or Tio Tomas or what have you.

 

Unless, say, Senator Durbin wants to waltz onto the Senate floor and serenade that in fact MOST Hispanics and everyone else are in the USA illegal at this very moment, well, it seems isolating those who are hiding in the shadows because they ought to need not be given amnesty at all.

 

First of all, ALL here NOT illegally don't even need amnesty, now do they? I may be a lowly commoner, but even my forrays into the Spanish communities of the USA have yielded most folks I talk with DON'T think it would be a good idea to know some killer or drug dealer or thief who's been committing in rem/in res crimes in the shadows should be rewarded as if they were as good as those who followed what they perceived to BE the rules. Also, most don't like the creepy sensation that those rallying for such amnesty DO intend to villify whole races which only Democrats can redeem...taken sort of like in the old days, when Bruno and Tony would tell you you had a nice business, and for a price they could make sure nothing happened to it.

 

Also, even many Hispanics indicate to me that why must "hate" be super-special, like Bruno and Tony proving their muscle; isn't pretty hateful to harm ANYONE, and won't there BE police and Courts except for trendy cases? Ditto replies from Hindus, Pakistanis, Middle Easterners, others.

 

For these reasons, I do not think it a good idea to grant such amnesty, unless each and every nation from which the pool of beneficiaries hail has ALREADY enacted the same for USA and ALL other nations' citizens, in global quid pro quo.
