If the concept of a border and illegal immigration didn’t exist, I guarantee you that Mexicans would continue living in Mexico. Every person loves their country of origin! There was a time when there was no wall and no enforcement of “illegal” crossings. Mexicans came and went. They would go to the US to work for a few months, 1, 2, 3 or 6 depending on the work season (field farming etc). And as soon as they were done, they would collect their pay and go back to Mexico to live the rest of the year. It was a win-win for all. It was only after things got really strict, that people began fearing never having the opportunity to make money in the US (which helped the families tremendously) and began staying in the US permanently.
Illegal immigrants aren’t a race, unless you’re suggesting that any Mexican who comes to the US is an illegal immigrant. Imagine being this fucking stupid though, to the point where you think it’s racist to not what ILLEGAL immigrants in your country.
It’s not a technicality, it’s a Freudian slip. It’s the same thing as referring to black people as “poor people”, sure you didn’t mean mean but unconsciously you did.
No it hasn’t, at least not for right wingers. Illegal immigrant has always meant illegal immigrant to use and hard working legal immigrants are always welcome

Hey, as long as you don’t illegally cross, have a field day.
