In Case You Didn't Think That Racism Has a Lot to Do With the Immigration Debate

Then ask yourself why John McCain is so interested in making sure that illegal Irish immigrants (ie, "white people") are offered a path to citizenship.
There are 50,000 Irish men and women who are in this country illegally at this time, who are hard-working people, who want to become citizens. And I want to assure you that we will enact comprehensive immigration reform, after they do certain things, obviously, give them a path to citizenship in this country as part of an overall immigration reform package.
Not that this is new; immigration outrage has always been directed at the "other people," whether Jews, Asians or Hispanics. I'm just surprised that McCain would speak that sentiment aloud in an approving manner.
