In the above posting I was really trying to explain why I think West Virginia voters went overwhelmingly for Hillary. I wasn't trying to argue a case for or against immigration, but got caught up in attempting to address one of Ron Davies' many pointed questions.

             Illegal immigration (or the lack of enforcing the rules), schools crowded with illegals--preventing native children from advancing, affirmative action, minority set-asides for business, and other public programs for minorities are some of the things that make white working class voters vote for Hillary over Obama.

             I don't think they see themselves as racist at all. They would see the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazi's, and Skinheads as racist. But the programs that were put into place by the folks they call "elites," for the purpose of helping minorities had no negative effect on wealthy white citizens (if you got bumped off the list for enrollment at UC Berkley, your parents could simply buy you a spot at a private school, like Harvard, Princeton, or Yale).
             The people who really paid for the programs to help minorities--and they paid through the nose--are the working class whites who are now voting for Hillary.

             They see Obama as a product of the programs for minorities that were put into place by the wealthy elites, and that's why if Obama is the nominee in November, they will probably vote for McCain.

             Frankly, I don't see anything Obama or any of his supporters can do about it.

             As far as calling these people "crackers," that's up to you, but I don't think it would be smart to call them crackers to their face.
