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. -- -- Boris
