Those would be rational arguments. Calling counter arguments racists, or dismissing them because you label the person making as a racists and xenophone, are not.
I just happen to think you are wrong. The undocumented population is somewhere around 4-5%, the percentage of the jail/prison population that is serving time for rape or murder that are also undocumented is much higher, well over twice that rate.
Ultimately I don't think it should matter if illegal immigrants commit more or less of certain crimes than another segment of the population. What should matter is if building one would have enough benefits to justify the cost. Personally I think we do need to strengthen border security, but I think there are better ways to do it than building a wall. I'm not arguing for a wall, I'm saying labeling and dismissing arguments for a wall as racists is bull****.
