Or only Latinos? Or only Mexicans...as this land was stolen from them? But what land did the treaty of Hildago cover? Should Mexicans only be restricted to those lands then? Or , by your logic, be given free reign to go anywhere on the planet they wish? Think of all the other countries you could claim are racist if you started crossing borders? You could be famous! Maybe they would make you a saint or something. Or maybe the next country would just imprison you as an illegal!!! Countries have borders for a reason and weak minded people like you need to stay out of it. Get an education and be successful and stop blaming the White man for all your problems. You have been given more opportunity here than anywhere else on the planet!!! What you choose to do with it is your responsibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615587613518681958.post-89558020283465539622011-04-20T13:33:13.979-07:002011-04-20T13:33:13.979-07:00RD in Cali, the only thing keeping you and others ...RD in Cali, the only thing keeping you and others in the ghetto is ignorance! You have the opportunity to get education just like any White person in your demographic situation. I am a poor White man with little education, no family money, no connections but I made it on integrity. I didn't cry about those who had the money and position, I worked and was honest. I instilled education into my children and they succeeded with college degrees. How come immigrants from Asia and Eastern Europe can come here with nothing and succeed while our Black and Hispanic populations flounder and complain about racism? It doesn't involve racism!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615587613518681958.post-17117549882042652172011-04-20T13:25:41.549-07:002011-04-20T13:25:41.549-07:00Living in Arizona for all my 52 years and being wh...Living in Arizona for all my 52 years and being white I never had a clue(neither did my Black,Asian and Hispanic friends) I was racist...or my state was until people like Chris Webber stated it on national television in reference to not getting a King holiday(sorry about one nut Mecham), Illegals using the race card to get citizenship and articles like these enlightened me to my lifelong ignorance! I have read SB1070 and know for a fact you are twisting the facts...maybe outright lying would be more honest. Have your readers read the law and find where it states that you can just be pulled over to be questioned about your status. This law mimics Federal law and even California's law has more teeth than this one...and who is chastising them??? And I would suppose you support La Raza in it's quest to kill the White man??? The race card you throw around is an indication that you have nothing to support your fear with. And that lame 'produce subsidy' argument is so weak I can't believe you used it. At most it may only apply to few areas of Mexico. Does that equate to the over 12 million illegals here right now? How can anyone with intelligence take you seriously? Any law you don't agree with you hurry up to cry racism? Why is that? And I could care less where Obama was born but why can't he show a legitimate birth certificate like all other presidents have? What is so difficult about that? Oh, that's racist to ask? Oh, and it's racist to ask for proof of immigration status after someone has committed a crime, can't speak English, has no identification, no insurance, no nothing? Just another fanatical Liberal who doesn't care about OUR country, in my book. My only racist tendency is against ignorance...and that comes in all colors!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615587613518681958.post-59534188617813272562011-04-20T12:37:30.872-07:002011-04-20T12:37:30.872-07:00The only HATE i see is this twisted article!..Enfo...The only HATE i see is this twisted article!..Enforcing laws that protect Americans is not racist,and every nation on earth does it.YOU show that YOU are the racist.WE are talking about Nationality,not race!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615587613518681958.post-41307264112606466212011-04-20T10:26:01.259-07:002011-04-20T10:26:01.259-07:00This isn't about racism, This is about people ...This isn't about racism, This is about people choosing to come to this country illegally.<br />As a black man I see my people having to compete with illegals for the few jobs that are available. It's bad enough that we don't get hired because of our color but now we have to fight for jobs that are being taken by illegal immigrants! My city has 37% unemployment rate among African Americans.

I am shocked that there are actually people that believe this. Especially those legal US Citizens. Just what is your opinion/solution to your complaints Mr. Lenoir?

You have spoken the truth. ...Thank you Mr. Lenoir. You have spoken the truth. I am a Hispanic/Chicano native New Mexican. The only difference between me and my hermanos coming accross the border is the artificial border established as a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848...a treaty that the US attempted to amend unilaterally (see Art. 10)without authority. To my Black/African American brothers and sisters, please join us your brown brothers and sisters in prayer and activism to address this sickness in our society. As OUR county proclaims: we are all created equal. As OUR heavenly father teaches: we are ALL children of God...created in His image.

The right-wing keep saying that the immigrants "hurt" the Black community because they take their jobs. This is ridiculous! why should a Black American compete for a low-level low-paid job? The Black community should and deserve to be competing for the White's high-paying jobs. But the White Right-Wing want to keep your community down and don't want your community to progress and compete with them, and that's why they want you to fight with our immigrant community, to manipulate you. They want the minorities to fight amongst themselves for meager wages and meager education, while they are on the top enjoying high-paid white-collar jobs and sending their children to well funded schools, while us Hispanics, Immigrants and African-Americans are kept in the ghettos and in the barrios with broken schools.
