Poll: Do you dislike Mexican immigrants?
18Yes0.00%0No100.00%18"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard RavenhillTags: None

I suspect this poll's going to suffer from the "I'm not racist, but..." phenomena. People in the US have learned to say they're not racist when directly asked, and hence will say that they don't dislike Latinos (or simply choose not to respond to the poll if they know they're going to be truthfully forced to vote for the 'wrong' answer), but will turn around and advocate for policies that are based on a dislike of Latinos or that are pretty unsubtle about the racist motivations of them. In short, if you take a bunch of racists and poll them as to whether they are racist, they will nearly all vote no."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

Its just starlight calling everyone who disagrees with him right-wing racists yet again.
I'm always still in trouble again

Having been through the convoluted rigamarole that is the ball of red tape that passes for an immigration process in the US, I completely sympathise with even the illegal ones. As long as they're here to make a better life for their families, I don't have a problem. It's the ones who are known criminals who are allowed back in again and again instead of being put into prison in Mexico that I have a problem with. And that goes for any nationality, not just Mexicans.Curiosity never hurt anyone. It was stupidity that killed the cat.

Most of my neighbors are Latino, from Mexico or Guatemala. They are great hard working people, largely Catholic, they are not much different than the Italian immigrants I grew up with.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
