Oh boy. Protecting our borders and deporting people who came here illegally is not racist.
Why make it illegal then, if we're not going to enforce it at all? Should we just let anyone walk right in at their whim? I understand having compassion, but come on. Be reasonable, folks.
You act as though there isn't a meaningful middle between "letting everyone walk in at their whim" and "deport all illegals".
There is, in fact, and that's what we do today.
Frankly, I'd consider it a whole lot less bigoted if it wasn't directly entirely at Mexico. When last I checked our other borders were even more porous and it's not as if we don't have a shitload of undocumented aliens from elsewhere.
(And yes, I understand you personally are not making that distinction.)
