Once again the "large net" is out I don't dissagree entirely...just to degrees...to say EVERYBODY is racist to some degree...no...that 98% (maybe more)are...yes! I can think of at least one person I have known who truely didn't have a racist bone in her body...not one...but thats ONE of all the people I have known in my life...I think often times those who claim "difference" (not just race) as the defineing factor are more often just as guilty if not more! Mayor Ray's Chocholate City comment comes to mind...try getting away with Vanilla city and see how long before the stones come out...Or B.E.T. (Black Entertainment Television) Try Whites only TV and see how long before all of your advertisers pull their spots....LOCO (the gay and Lesbian chanell) Try Heteros only TV...point is we (99%) tend to stick with our own "kind" and fear/mistrust/dislike those not the same as us...one need not look any further than THIS BOARD to see the proof of that....Change the word Black to Harley Davidson, Gay to Sport Bike, Mexican to French...(no wait thats unfair the the Mexicans) Mexican to Jap Vtwin...So do I have any Racist attitudes???...you bet...am I proud of them...most not, because I have found that one on one most of those are unfounded, yet the "broad net" goes out till I meet someone personally, but they are part of who I am...like it or not...But this is Illegals getting a free ride while those who are here legally (citizens and legals alike) getting the shaft...MA's proposed free tuition for Illeagles...Hospitals giving free care, while you and I get a bill from hell and hounded till we pay it...food stamps, welfare,ect. And the fines for employeers is laughable...I hire people here, and have several Guatimalians who work for me (harder than most of our "Citizen" workers I might add)...are they legal...I DON"T KNOW!! WHY??? Because I'm not allowed to ask for anything other than what is on a standard I-9 form...if they have it end of story...be it fradulant or not...AND when we did have a Social Security Card that did'nt quite look right...We were told to SUBMIT the paper work as required and collected, If wasn't correct they would inform us...TWO YEARS LATER we got notified that it was a invalid ## PLEASE HAVE THEM RESUBMIT !!! do I think he was illegal...yup...(particularly since upon notifiy him of the bad # he never returned to work)now what do you say when (and if) Uncle Sam shows up and says he's an illegal and NOW I have a fine to pay...AFTER I FOLLOWED THE DAMM RULES THEY SUPPLIED AND TOLD US TO FOLLOW!!!

So am I a racist...I supose to some extent, I am not proud of that...and I'm not joining the local white surpremisist group...does my being a racist effect my oppinion on this sure it has to...but If you were my twin brother and you get a free education to Umass because YOUR BREAKING THE LAW!! while I had to remortage my house to pay the $20k per year tuition..I'ld Still be Just as PI$$ED OFF!! and ("broad net" statement comming) quite frankly people aren't charging the northern boarder by the 10's of K's and last time I checked Loew's, Wal-mart, my cell phone 411 service the were'nt printing every sign, offering automated services in FRENCH/RUSSIAN/ITALIAN/SWEEDISH/OR LATIN!! But I do notice that everything is offered in Spanish! my guess (only my oppinion not backed by ANY data) is that 90% of all the Illegal's are of some Spanish Speaking race... so I'm not sure if that makes me a racist...or mearly a realist.
