    Just because we want people to come into our country legally and want to know their background doesn’t make us racist.

      You don’t have to be racist to be ridiculous.

      and want to know their background

      How much background checking do you think they do on someone from France vs. someone from Libya? Do you think it’s an equal amount? (It is not.) Do you want it to be an equal amount?

        Yeah, I do, and obviously it’s not the same now. These people are coming in by the millions and they’re not doing background checks at all. They’re doing background checks on the ones that are waiting to get here legally.

          “These people” being the non-white ones.

            If there are white people crossing the Southern border illegally it includes them to since you want to make everything about race although I don’t see any white people crossing the Southern border

                They’re a troll. I found that tagging them as such helps prevent me from accidently engaging with them.

                  Thanks. I don’t believe they give you that ability in the standard web interface, but since you told me that, I’ll look through their post history and see what’s going on.

                  Also, please flag them and anyone else you think might be violating the rules and we’ll try to check it out ASAP.

                Because millions of people are coming over it, including rapist, thieves, and terrorists destroying whole communities on their way through

                  Just so you know now, you’re getting really close to violating rule 4. Paraphrasing Trump is not helping you.

                    I’m not paraphrasing anyone, I live near the border and I’m just calling it like I see it

                Btw, you’re wrong. There are way more people coming across the Southern border than people over staying visas. It’s not even close and at least we know who the people are that have over stayed their visa

      That’s the kind of thing a racist would say
