Why do you think opposition to illegals is racist? After all, most are
hispanic (white) or Irish, etc. (also white) and Asian.

> Explain how .....
>
Well, I doubt that exporting just illegals would help but rounding up our
millions of habitual welfare recipients and shipping them to, say, the North
Pole would certainly help.

You have been given the answer to that in the past. Stop trolling, hating
and not learning there goober.

You also need to get over your lies about millions on welfare being the
other prime problem. Start going to church asshole and perhaps you will
save your own ass in the end.

you're on the wrong side,

those 12-25 million aliens can not collect unemployment because the
employment
agencies, unlike the employers actually check your documents,so they are not
part of the 12 million unemployed Americans

they are taking jobs from Americans,

they are helping to enrich the wealthy who otherwise would
have to pay higher wages to Americans if they had to compete for workers

they are taking advantage of the social service system because they also
don't check documentation,
so we have people working while their spouses and children collect food
stamps, free health care
and other services because we can't check their marriage records

we don't need to round anyone up, we just need to verify the social security
numbers and green cards
of the existing employees, fire any that are here illegally, fine the
employers, and they will
leave on their own

they are not consumers in the same way that Americans are and do not
contribute that much to the economy, they
send billions and billions of dollars out of the country

it is the one issue that is going to backfire on obama,

what other country in the world allows this
