32. Thanks for the post.
Folks just won't connect the dots. If they did the pattern would be clear. The dots abound. Incarceration statistics, employment statistics, house-hunting (or denying) practices begin a list that include the practice of admitting illegal aliens by the millions to suppress the wages of the lowest earners in America, i.e., Black Americans. Add to these the, thankfully infrequent, occurrences of murders like Byrds in Texas, the comments of Lott, Boortz et al and the idea that laws were enacted which penalized use of a form of a drug common among drug-using Blacks far more severely than use of a form of the same drug common among drug-using whites. When we post about the detention centers in the US, we really know who one of the groups living there will be. We may not say it, but we know. I read of comments by a wing nut to the effect that millions of illegal aliens should be stored in the domed arena in New Orleans; he said 'we', meaning the whites in the US, have practice. Normal folks don't feel comfortable making such remarks without a tone having been previously set by guys like Lott and Bush.

By the way, I say punish the employers of illegal aliens, not the people themselves. I mean punish them to the point of confiscation but leave the folks alone. How any sane American could support illegal immigration which must suppress their own wages, or that of their children is beyond me. That our legislators would allow and enable it demonstrates their loyalties far more effectively than any campaign commercial.

I seem to have digressed. Thank you for telling what you've observed about Rep McKinney. It helps.
