I think it is problematic to use terms such as 'racist' to apply to people who believe in things that are not inherently racist. It gives a term such as 'racism' less meaning, and it means you have less legitimacy anytime you use such a word as 'racism.'<BR/><BR/>I also do not understand why it is necessarily 'progressive' to be against illegal immigration. Does this mean you believe in open borders? But open borders ultimately means no national sovereignty - and by implication, would lead to one world government.<BR/><BR/>Such a scenario by its very nature is anti-minority. It is through maintaining national sovereignties that minorities can be protected and certain ways of life preserved.<BR/><BR/>I do not see how approval of Gillebrand is thus anti-Latino.<BR/><BR/>I could speak more on the subject, but will leave it at that.Red Tulipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546144713477594777noreply@blogger.com
