I re-read my initial post and I didn't identify illegal immigrants as coming from any country in particular. Be that as it may, if there are 10,000,000 illegal immigrants in this country and the vast majority come from Hispanic countries, what's racist about saying that?
Nonetheless, you raise another "red herring" - the apologists always play the racist card rather than facing the issue.
What if I were to decide that I wasn't going to obey a federal law, say, paying my income tax? How far do I get with that one? When is it a legitimate response to say that since so many people are breaking the law, let's just ignore it and not enforce it?
The other "red herring" is to claim that everyone is the descendant of illegal immigrants. I don't buy that. It's another cop-out argument, as is the "gee, there are too many to deport." Nonsense.
