Now, before anyone gets fired up, I'm not suggesting that the whole thing is about race. I too am concerned about this situation. I am concerned about a border that seems to be so porous that people just walk right in. I'm concerned about the drug cartels, the crime and the "people smugglers" that seem to have absolutely no concern for the well being of their "cargo". I am concerned about the impact on American workers and the US economy.

But, for some folks, it appears to run a little deeper than that...............

Remember posting the video of Rachel Maddow's commentary on race as a political issue. Too many find it politally expedient to instill fear of "them" in their constituency. Not exactly the way to promote a national common purpose.
