That's not even hate talk, that's just crazy talk.

I understand why people are afraid of illegal immigrants. There are some things I fear myself- mostly medical things- but the way to deal with the problem is not to go in to xenophobic race war mode. That's just unhelpful. Of course people have the right to be as out there with their speech as they want to be, but I'm really glad to see Obama mentioning this, because rationale people have a duty to protest speech that verges on, or incites, hate speech.

Generally 1st generation immigrants, illegal or legal typically leave the natives in the dust because they are hungry to make it.. Look around next time when you see an immigrant family or immigrant business.. Most of the time, they have better standards of living, better finances.. If they are legal, then they are generally better educated to boot.
