The racist hysteria is created by the pro amnesty and corporate sponsorship.

Those who are against illegal immigration will cite economics, environmental impact, wage suppression--economics again, government sponsorship...etc.
Most all of it comes down to economic impact.

It's not a case of "you don't like me so you don't want me here..." That's redherring bullshit that helps avoid the real issues. The reduction of an argument down to emotion is a sure way to avoid logical solutions.

Notice who's inciting the racism. Redirect the conversation back to issues: NAFTA, economics, environmental impact.
