Immigration debate not a racial issue

It is hard to understand why anyone is protesting the Arizona effort to keep the illegals out of our country. I think the Arizona governor should be applauded and encouraged and helped for trying to help her state and her country.

One thing it is not, is a racial issue. If you look like a Mexican, and if you are here legally, you should be proud to show your card and happy to help make our country stronger by helping to get things under control.
