Racism charged in NJ immigration debate - and maybe the Rev. Rivera is racist

My Way News:
"Rev. Miguel Rivera, president of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, called the Riverside law 'racist.' He criticized Mayor Charles Hilton by saying his initiative in passing the law was equivalent to the Confederate flag being flown by the counter-demonstrators."

It seems Mayor Hilton has angered the large Brazilian community in his city by supporting a local ordinance that would, like existing federal statute, forbid employment of illegal aliens. It would also forbid landlords to rent to illegals.

Rev. Rivera says this is racist. But, isn't Rev. Rivera's unstated assumption that the illegal immigrants targeted by this legislation are non-white a racist perspective? Someone should ask Rev. Rivera why he feels non-whites are more likely to break the laws of the United States.
