See all they can think is hate, so they don’t see that you’re not condoning illegal immigration. Their cottage cheese cerebellums convert your desire to be more rational (another thing they don’t get) about the problem into your “leftist/socialist/communist desire to give the country away to any Tomas, Ricardo or Geraldo that comes along”.
It’s this type of ignorance that keeps us from being able to have any type of real discussion about illegal immigration. There is absolutely no intelligence or logic expressed in this cartoon, much like the issue itself.
senorbullwinkle, simply saying mexican or spanish or indonesian is referring to race. How about we say human, with darker or lighter skin tones and different languages.
How about an American going to China, could be called an American Chinese. Or is that person called simply American…
The people that occupied Mexico killed millions of Indians long before “Americans” came to America.
Juan Ponce de León lead the first recorded expedition to Florida, according to some historians, and fought and killed some Indians. Of course Indians kicked him off their land.
If a person from America goes to Mexico to occupy residence, perhaps we should consider if that person is called American Mexican, or if that person is still called only an American. If a person from Mexico comes to occupy residence in America, perhaps we should consider if that person is called a Mexican American, or still only a Mexican, or better yet, a person. If only a person, that eliminates race, eliminating racism, eliminating racial pride.

^ Of course. Just this week watched a doccie on how kids from Central America hitch rides on freight trains in Mexico to get to the border. A guy from a mission created to support migrants advised on carrying jugs of water for the desert crossing. He lectured on safety and warned/predicted to the assembled folks that some of them would die enroute. The doccie also focused on the families of two lads (aged 13 & 17) who had died of exposure.

Ahab – you lost them when you said “thoughtful”.

Thanks for playing though.

Isnt that racist to mention mexicans as a race instead of a human? Isnt that pride to mention how mexicans are a group?
Proverbs 14 28 In the multitude of people is the king’s honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker : but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor
Psalms 10:2 KJV The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined .
Psalms 10:4 KJV The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Proverbs 16:18 KJV Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

I don’t understand this toon. Is Alcaraz saying that the Mexican can’t simply jump that wall? Or make a hole through it? Or follow the drug tunnels?
