What, exactly, is the rationale for establishing "sanctuary cities?"

This mindless ethnic hatred isn't new.

Go figure, eh?

How Mexico Treats Illegal Aliens--Their practices are discriminatory, corrupt, and abusive.

A May 2002 Zogby International poll in Mexico reported that 58 percent of Mexicans agreed with the statement, "the territory of the United States' Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico," and that 57 percent agree with the statement, "Mexicans should have the right to enter the US without US permission."

Mario Obledo, who was California's Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown, and who founded MALDEF (the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund) commented, "California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years." People who don't like such demographic changes "should go back to Europe."

I have white privilege. It is quite noticable when dealing with the occasional encounter with a police officer.

As Miguel Perez of Cal State-Northridge’s MEChA chapter has been quoted as saying: “The ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlan. Communism would be closest [to it]. Once Aztlan is established, ethnic cleansing would commence: Non-Chicanos would have to be expelled — opposition groups would be quashed because you have to keep power.”

In an April 1969 press conference in San Antonio, Gutierrez again sounded this same theme while also charging that Latinos in America were the victims of widespread racism and "cultural genocide":

“We will not try to assimilate into this gringo society in Texas, nor will we encourage anybody else to do so.... We realize that the effects of cultural genocide takes many forms—some Mexicanos will become psychologically castrated, others will become demagogues and gringos as well, and others will come together, resist and eliminate the gringo. We will be the latter.”
“It's too late for the Gringo to make amends. Violence has got to come.”

Let me put it this way.

Imagine if your worst fears had happened; Hillary Clinton was elected and now the ATF was asking to work with local police departments to enforce every Federal gun law on the book.

You know the reaction that would come out of conservative communities to save their guns? That is how I feel about immigrants (except immigrants are actually people).

Isn't it "State's Rights" to defy Federal law and enact their own laws? Strange how the wingnuts stick up for the Feds when it suits them.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

There is only one person on this thread who has posted anything racist. That happens to be you. The fact that you are opposed to illegal immigration doesn't make you a racisr, as many people here have shown.

When you start slinging ethnic based conspiracy theories, that's what is racism.

Finn, I apologize for my hasty remark implying that you are responsible for Layman's ugliness.
