that's one of the problems of civil rights: one of the men now
charged with conspiracy to murder called out to the police: "I have
rights". You know something? He has rights.

We here began restricting immigration because a politician who'd
brought black people here to do jobs white people wouldn't do then
turned on them, spouted racist filth, whipped people up by lies.
(We, too, have immigrants who bring with them the illnesses of their
poverty-stricken countries and unfortunately, the poor housing they
receive here and increasing social inequality here exacerbates that.)

Anti-immigration talk usually is racist, it isn't about white
immigrants who speak fluent English, whether they're in the US legally
or not.
