According to KVI's John Carlson, illegal immigration from Mexico is morally equivalent to apartheid in South Africa. In a discussion about Mexican President Vicente Fox's visit to the Seattle area, Carlson commented that Fox's visit should be treated as we would treat a visit by the Prime Minister of South Africa back in the bad-old-days of apartheid:

CARLSON: In my opinion, I believe we should treat Vicente Fox the way we would have treated the Prime Minister of South Africa during the apartheid era. That is to say, you're the head of state, you'll be treated with the utmost respect and courtesy, and when we sit down, our questions to you will be blunt, will be critical, and we will assume that you are doing something that is not right in your country.

The difference is that at least in South African what they were doing wrong they were doing wrong in South Africa to South Africans. The disagreements we have with President Fox is that what he is doing is having an adverse effect on the United States of America.

You heard that right: the democratically elected president of Mexico and his countrymen who come here to find work are as morally offensive as the incredibly oppressive and torturous minority regime who enforced the de jure segregation of millions of black South Africans.

It's good that we get periodic reminders of what a strong moral compass these right-wingers have.
