American immigration policy is based on racism

I feel that the current debate about immigration is totally racist. First, I am a 21 year veteran of the US Navy, not that really matters. Because of the concentration of security on the southern border with Mexico, where am I going to enter if I am a terrorist? Because I live in Washington state, I know I would enter through Canada because it is much easier. A person was caught between Vancouver BC and Washington state a few years ago trying to bring a bomb in. It’s totally common sense that the terrorists would enter through the North. Why aren’t there more conversations about the North borders? As far as Mexicans entering the US from the south, they are merely filling the gaps, doing the work Americans do not do.

Now, to get to the meat, to go back to my military experience. I was in Hong Kong, in the early 70’s. I was on a 3 year tour where I stayed there all those three years. The American tourists I met complained about the people not speaking English, about the rooms in their hotels and the lack of McDonald’s. I told these petty American bastards to either learn Chinese or back to Iowa. What is this idea that we, as Americans have the right to make the entire world work to our ideas. This is why we are in Iraq.

Most people in the world speak at least 2 languages. (I speak Japanese). Uniquely, when Americans hear a language they do not undrstand, they instantly become paranoid. If you want to understand Spanish, study. Do not be so lazy. The people are not talking about you. As an American, I have seen this paranoia over and over. The first generation from any country speaks their old language. (i.e. my great grandmother spoke Swedish) Lighten up! If you want to understand Spanish, study Spanish.
