In an editorial entitled "Illegal-immigration debate in not about prejudice", Susan D. Ree tries to prove a point that people against illegal immigration are not prejudice. She attempts to support this by sharing her experiences in other countries, and she also tries to establish some credibility through her childhood experiences. Her main point is that prejudice and illegal immigration are not relatable because they are different concepts.
Although I can believe she does not hold prejudices with illegal immigrants, I find it a fallacy to conclude all anti illegal immigration people do not hold racial judgments, too. As shown in this class, history can prove that many people did have racial prejudices with immigrants, and I would find it hard to believe that this has suddenly changed with this issue.
