Why not the Mexicans we killed to steal half of Mexico?

When you say "we" I am assuming you mean our forefathers? In which case, following your flawed logic, you would be OK with either returning to England under big brother rule, or adopting the same here, right? I mean, when we immigrated here, the minute we set foot on America, we started stealing land.

As someone who is firmly against illegal immigration, I think it was stupid of the guy to announce he is a proud racist. Two reasons... first there are a lot of minorities in this country that are suffering from the problems associated with illegal immigration.

Heck, there are Hispanic citizens who oppose illegal immigration and also Blacks who oppose it.

Secondly, he is turning it into a white on brown issue. A large portion of the U.S. made up of land that was once in Mexico (that's why the landscape looks so much like Mexico (something from a cheech and chong movie)) so there is and always will be a latino population in our country.
The quote came from the movie, Things are Tough All Over, which is a must for all Cheech and Chong fans. It's a scene where they are driving an old pickup truck or some such filled with about 30 Mexicans and the guys' woman-friend turns to the people and says something like, "The reason why this looks so much like Mexico is because it used to be Mexico."

This movie is also notable for the quote, "We are now at the top of the hill and I know where we are. We are in the middle of fucking nowhere!" (I'm trying to find some YouTube clips for all of this but so far no luck.)

Statements like this make people like craig234 get a woody because it infers that the only reason people to not like these illegal immigrants is because they are brown... when in reality most people are upset with the economic problems that come from this type of immigration.
The problem is not immigrants as people, the problem is with the numbers of immigrants. See:

A classic. It took me about 5 minutes to realize that the big arab picking his toes with a knife and eating it was Chong.
