Imigration in America

Yes, racism is an easy charge to claim. Doesn't always make it false. And, in this case, there's a lot of indicators that there definitely is an element of that involved. Doesn't mean that your opinion is based on racism, and I believe that in your case it isn't. Still, that doesn't mean that it isn't the basis for others, maybe even most others.

Yes, there is that. Most bigots will choose any flimsy argument, rather than come right out and say, "I'm a bigot" (barring Fred Phelps family, the KKK, and a few notable exceptions).

A CBS/NYTimes Poll released this week show that 51% of Americans are "racist bigots" (at least to the vocal militant minority that don't support the Arizona bill). I am wondering though, about the 9% who thought the bill did not go far enough. What to they want? (e.g. concentration camps???).
