This is certainly true in my experience.

If I didn't know better, I'd say Sid has a problem with minorities.

Minorities are supposed to be minorities. But bringing in a million migrants a year makes me nervous. Just this morning there was a news bit about the busloads of migrants that are showing up in my town. It's all legal and Homeland Security buses are arriving with another load weekly. The lady being interviewed noted that it's all legal and was requesting people to help all they can and maybe put a family up in their homes for a few days. So, while jobs are going overseas our country is becoming a huge day care center.

What's the occasion? I happen to agree that bringing so many in is hugely questionable, but at the same time we are told that we can turbocharge growth in this country to 3%/year, and I'll bet you those people are supposed to be part of the labor force that drives that growth. So to me a little bit of a disconnect between this high-growth propaganda and the idea of curbing immigration.

Those thousands that arrived in Mexico aren't going to be there long, in fact I believe they are being slipped in by the hundreds daily now.

I've got plenty--working side by side with them in my family's business since the age of about 14. Blacks, of course, since when I was 14 the US border was more than a line on a map.

Except that when whites become minorities in THEIR own country by 2050, if not sooner, they'd better not expect minority privileges.

The "minorities" are simply pawns in the dem campaign to seize control of this country. Members of these groups think that the dems are their friends.

Maybe this is true and maybe it isn't. But it begs several questions: 1) who are the GOP's pawns then, on the symmetry principle that if one party finds pawns useful, then so will the other, and 2) what meaningful sales pitch can the GOP give to minorities that won't put off some other element of the base? Do GOP voters here really want the party to start earnestly listening to minority concerns?

For those who lack a real education, the term "beg the question" refers to an invalid method of arguing, in which the opposition is asked to accept a key point in order to prove the point. It has nothing to do with suggestion a question.

See above. You sound like a typical party apparatchik BTW, resorting to technicalities in an attempt to deflect a salient line of inquiry. You could have just come back with shut-down answers to the questions. Oh, right, you can't.

And from the web:

Many modern English speakers use beg the question to mean "bear the question", "suggest the question," "raise the question", "invite the question", "evade the question", or even "ignore the question", and follow that phrase with the question, for example: "I weigh 120 kg and have severely clogged arteries, which begs the question: why have I not started exercising?" For grammatical reasons and because the term has a specific, different meaning in philosophy, logic, and law, some commenters note that such usage is mistaken, or at best, unclear[25][26][27][28] even as sources such as the Meriam Webster Dictionary and non-prescriptivist critics acknowledge the usage of the phrase as a synonym for “raises the question” as popularly accepted.[29]
