TO ALL OF YOU WHO SAY 187 IS RACIST:
-----------------------------------

Whether the U.S. admits over 1 million immigrants a year (as we currently
do), or none at all (as does France), many more will be turned away at the
border. Whether we admit mostly non-whites (as we currently do), or mostly
whites, those we turn away will always be overwhelmingly non-white. 

This is simply because some 80% of the world's 5 billion people are
non-white;  and of those driven by abject hunger and misery to migration,
almost all are non-white. This has always been the case, and will very
likely remain the case at least through our lifetime, even if we increase
our foreign aid budget five-fold. 

Thus _A_N_Y_ effort to control the border, including 187, impacts
non-whites more than whites.  If you think this makes such an effort
racist, look up "racist" in your Webster. 

Besides, if you would like to throw the U.S. borders wide open, please say
so and see if any of your fellow citizens like the idea. Otherwise, stop
these crocodile tears about how mean-spiritied it is to deny the hungry
food stamps, the sick medical care, and innocent children education. FYI,
keeping people away is what international borders are all about.
