secondly, this was blatant scapegoating...blaming the economic problems on a particular issue - if you are not smart enough to deduce that the issues the state is currently facing on budgetary shortfalls has nothing to do with undocumented residents then there really isn't any point in a debate on any other list as well and it obviously isn't worth debating here. There's no reason whatsoever to debate the worthiness/unworthiness, the reasons or the issues of Mexicans in this country on this list. I didn't suggest racism...I suggested narrow political commentary being offered as fact.
