An unbiased or non agenda based reading of the actual content of the speech posted above could not fail to understand that the point being made was that any unregulated immigration into any country will irrevocably change the lifestyle of the citizens of the country receiving the immigrants.

It isn't about skin color, it's about culture: would a dark skinned Texan, from Dallas or Brownsville feel more comfortable and at home in predominantly white Wyoming, or in the Brighton Beach area of New York (almost entirely Russian descendants) or perhaps in the Muslim dominated areas of Michigan? Whenever there is no integration of immigrants into the community they adopt, life for the prior resident's changes beyond all previous recognition, yet any reasonable complaints are decried as xenophobic!

The beautiful country of Belize has a wonderfully varied ethnic mixture, and yet has strong regulations in place to stop the influx of illegal Guatemalan, Honduran and other Central American immigrants who speak a different language and would potentially take jobs away from Belizean Citizens. I don't think that is unreasonable to wish to preserve one's own culture rather than to submit to the cultural leanings of an uninvited guest?

In my travels, I have been lucky enough to meet and befriend many wonderful people from many creeds, cultures and ethnic groups, but unfortunately have also met many stupid and ignorant people who throw out the idea of "racism" with little or no thought to the harm caused by continued ignorance.

I hope that I will "one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
