I take you for your word as well Cath. You're not a racist.
What's clear from your questions and objections, however, is that you've been steeped in the racists narrative which does exist and -is- the narrative of the debate on the issue, in this country..
You thought, for example, that a problem with illegals might be their failure to "integrate" - which you defined as being willing to work and follow our laws. Lazy criminals. Well, they do work, they do follow our laws. Good god, things would be awfully shitty for them if they didn't, shittier than for you and I. The last thing they need is to be penniless and pulled over for a tail light being out.
You thought, for example, that a problem with illegals might be that we ought to take care of our own first. The takers narrative. Well, we do take care of our own, the illegals aren't eligible, even though they contribute immensely.
You think that allowing more immigrants or making the process easier, or not deporting illegals makes regulating our borders irrelevant, pointless. Fortress america, but, apparently the only reason for the border is keeping mexicans out.
Who do you think sold you these narratives...each one of them wholly untrue but, for some reason, compelling to you? Did you imagine all of this factually untrue shit on your own? When, how? Just sitting there, thinking about things? Where did you get these ideas from? Forgive me for proposing that had you actually done some research on this, yourself...being a non racist and decent human being....you just -might- have approached this whole issue from an entirely different context. Am I allowed to make that generous assumption?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
