That's simply asinine, Desert-Rose. I think human beings -- and not just Mexicans -- should be treated with decency. Do I think illegal immigrants deserve the "special treatment" of being exploited for work and earning below-minimum wages? No, absolutely not. The threat that you feel Mexicans (or any marginalized group) poses to you is a result of YOUR racism. Believe me, I'm no more a racist than you are an open-minded, decent human being.
