So when you say an Asian is an illegal immigrant, you're saying Latinos aren't legitimate Americans?

Asians, probably.

Guessing in 2040 Hispanics will be viewed like Italians (as “white”), and our political system will adjust for the new demographic reality. If we get there without blowing up.

I take the open borders libertarian view on immigration, personally, but are you saying that everyone who is in favor of the flow of immigration being managed at all through legal means is racist? That seems like a superman level leap in logic, but I may be misunderstanding.

I think he is saying what his last tweet said, that racial propaganda about illegal immigrants has taken hold among white Americans. That “illegal aliens” is a racist “dog whistle”.

To me that's like saying drug dealer is a racist dog whistle. I'm all for decrim, but I don't think that those who are opposed to the illegal distribution of drugs are all racists. Some are, but a lot are just concerned about law and order. Similar with illegal immigration IMO.

I give him a little credit for not blaming the white voting public but blaming the politicians and news media that are using (in his words) “the racist dog whistle “ illegal aliens. Although that is just another way of saying GOP voters are stupid and easily fooled.
