Please explain how immigration reform is racist? If you are from mexico
and have a green card and are working legally, great.

Its not. In all deference to friends who disagree . . . .

Again, I don't think anyone here is saying that immigration reform is
racist--I haven't seen anyone doing that, anyway. We're (or at least,
I'm) saying that blaming overpopulation and increasing human impact on
immigration policy is not right.

There are many things with higher environmental impact than immigration,
like energy policy, or destructive mining practices, for example. Of
course, one could use environmental impact arguments to advance the cause
of immigration reform. We're seeing that here, and that's the source of my
criticism.

If I had meant to say that immigration reform is racist, I would have said
so. I did not.
