My family and I came here legally from Mexico. We were talking about the immigration situation and how different groups view it differently. For example, rich people mostly see illegals as hard workers and victims since the only contact they have with them is hiring them as maids, gardeners, etc. Latinos with relatives and friends from Mexico illegally or still in Mexico sympathize with illegals purely for emotional reasons (they dont want to see their friends leave). On the other side, people in the poor and middle class who work with illegals and/or live in the same neighborhood with them, see the consequences of illegals on a daily basis, have their wages lowered, crime rate increased, and feel that if they say anything negative they will be called a "racist".
Basically, the only amnesty supporters are a. those who are uninformed, and b. relatives/friends of illegals or even c. people racist against whites. What do you think?
