Racism => throwing people out of the country because of their race.
Legalism => throwing people out of the country because they're not here legally.
But Kodratos was arguing that the obsession with this legalism comes from racist motives.
I don't agree completely, but I think anti-immigration does often become a façade to mask and legitimize racist goals. I think the same thing about the state's rights movement in the 60's.
I think it's wrong to equate an illegal immigrant as an "invade." There is a difference between someone who wants to pillage and rape your villages and someone who wants to do crappy jobs that no one else wants to do in order to fulfill their own "American dreams" of a better life. It's not at the expense of everyone else. Sure, they "take our jobs," by perhaps working at Walmart, but they also create them since they buy TVs and clothes just like everyone else.
I think skilled immigration should be unlimited and advocate greatly increasing unskilled as well. It has to be somewhat gradual, otherwise it'll put strains on governmental services and the economy.
