Statistically, immigrants of any sort aren't creating more crime than is already here. In fact, their more AT RISK for violence. There are plenty of people who have overstayed their visas, including families, who are not treated this way. The myth that's insulting is that Mexicans are bringing a high degree of crime. One can find incidents of anything, but that's largely not true. It's the same kind of racist sidestep that DIXIECRATS used to employ. Not only are these people not a big problem, they're actually a great solution for America! We need them for our economy - now more than ever - so we have more goods to export as Trump tariffs are sending many jobs, including Harley Davidson, overseas. The main issue in logic is that that the people from Mexico are coming here FOR crime. It was racism from Southern democrats of the past and it's racism of the current republican party.I'm not trying to play devil's advocate. I truly would like a link if you could provide one regarding white undocumented immigrants being treated differently then those crossing from Mexico. First, I'm having a difficult time believing that there is a problem of undocumented immigrants entering from Canada. It would be the first time I have heard of this and google shows up nothing. Second, I haven't seen a single story of white undocumented immigrants from Europe and there being a problem. Once again, google shows nothing. I also have a hard time finding a story of white undocumented immigrants being treated differently. Didn't know this was a problem and have not heard that yet regarding the problem at the southern border. I'd appreciate a link if you have one.
I'm not sure where you get how I'm purposefully evading the larger issue in some sort of ploy. I've spoke out earlier in the thread that separating the immigrant families is wrong. I'm not denying that racism is on the rise and have said that President Trump's actions have had a hand in this. I won't even deny that President Trump's policy on illegal immigration has a racist element to it. All of this is true. But I haven't seen a single story of your claims. Not a one. The problems are bad enough and stand on there own and your claims seem like hyperbole to me.
