I'll submit that I don't watch him that much anymore because I too am a bit tired of the immigrant issue. HOWEVER, most of you have him wrong! He truly is for middle America which is what the Democrats used to be for. He is not a racist, he has said that we should make the immigration process more transparent and efficeint and perhaps raise the cap on the number allowed in the country. That is not being racist, that is being a realist. Illegal immigrants only enrich the corporations and lower wages for Americans. He rants against falling wages, big corporations run amok, unsafe imports and outsourcing jobs.... gee that sounds a lot like what Democrats used to be for?!?!

It's just an excuse for their racism. Because realistically, they don’t hate immigration (Illegal or otherwise) due to lowered wages or any of the other reasons they give.
