What kind of feeling do Canadian immigrants generate versus immigrants from Mexico/South America?

2007-11-12 08:16:20 · 13 answers · asked by Shat Splatterson 2

If an immigrant comes to this country illegally, but otherwise works, doesn't leach off welfare, obeys all other laws, and is essentially a model citizen... really, their only offense was 'cutting in line'.

Of course any illegal who behaves badly in this country (DUI, theft, assualt, etc) should be imprisoned, and then unceremoneously kicked out.

But for a well behaved person; perhaps we should just take them back to the border, and allow them to apply for legitimate status, with no prejudice towards their previous illegal status. Sort of a no-harm-no-foul?

What do you think?

I keep hearing about how poor these families are who are migrating to the US and breaking laws while doing so. I keep hearing that we are supposed to pardon them because they are poor and only trying to feed their children.

This question applies to ANYONE, legal citizen or not, If I were to go breed like an animal without taking any personal responsibility for the life I created and asked you to pay for my children would you complain? Or would you say say I was just trying to make a better life for my children?

Please explain to me how that argument follows logically

This is a commonly held argument to support liberal immigration policy, especially toward illegals.
Personally, I am in favor of letting just about any law abiding, well intentioned person into America. However, I think this 'work we won't do' is a bogus argument.
American's dig ditches, wallow in fish guts, clean out chemical toilets...

There's no such thing as a job an American won't do, only Wages and Working Conditions americans won't Accept!

So, if immigrants do work for less money and worse conditions, isn't it really true that immigrants just drive down wages??

First off, this isn't illegal immigrant bashing. It's just an honest observation.

The word 'immigrant' conjures up images of someone who comes to this country with the intention of living the 'American dream', assimilating to a reasonable degree, and who wants to be a loyal part of this nation.

The majority of illegal 'immigrants' have no love, loyalty, or desire to become 'part of' America. They're just desperate for work that pays better than in Mexico, and want to send money back home. Many of them flat out despise our country, and aren't shy about expressing it. They have no intention of assimilation. Many even refer to 'reconquista'.

To me, the term 'immigrant' is completely inappropriate to these persons. The term 'migrant' refers to someone who temporarily goes somewhere, with no intention of setting down roots, assimilating, or becomming a part of the community.

Shouldn't we start calling them 'Illegal Migrants'??

If a person of Hispanic origin rapes a woman and, in an attempt to catch this violent criminal, police publish a description identifying the suspect's general racial makeup, is that a "racist" thing to do? Apparently the folks at KMYL (1190 AM) in the metro Phoenix, Arizona area think it is. It appears that we cannot even discuss the basic appearance of a wanted criminal now without being "racist" about it all.

The story comes to us from The East Valley Tribune, where the paper quotes the vice president for programming at KMYL as saying that calling a criminal an Hispanic is "racial profiling." And what is her reasoning?

(Mayra) Nieves said Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race -- and many Hispanics are white or black. She said ethnicity should not be used when describing an attacker. Instead she said she would describe the Chandler Rapist as having "dark skin."
Even her "explanation" contradicts itself. If a "Hispanic" can be white or black, why should the rapist be called "dark skinned"? After all, what is the definition of "dark"? To an albino, even a white person is dark skinned... or can I say albino without somehow being a racist?
Is it really a racist thing when we are given a generalized description of a wanted criminal's race or is it just good police work? It would seem to anyone with an ounce of sense that the later is the answer here. After all, if police are looking for a white Ford Bronco, should the police report describe the auto in oblique terms? (Such as calling the vehicle a "somewhat colorless, large American car that could be thought of as a sport utility vehicle, not that we are impugning all SUVs.") Or should the police just say it is a white Ford Bronco? Which one would more easily get the public to lend assistance with finding the vehicle? http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/101714
Mayra) Nieves said Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race -- and many Hispanics are white or black.
OK, let's then be accurate, and refer to "mestizos" (people who are a genetic mix of Indian and European) and mulattos (people who are a genetic mix of Black and European)

The term "Hispanic" is fairly bad as a descriptive term, as it can refer to a

Black, Portuguese-speaking Brazilian,
a white person from Spain,
a South American native Mayan who only speaks his indigenous language rather than Spanish
in addition to the common sense of somebody of mixed white/Indian ancestry who speaks Spanish as his primary language

I pay my nanny $200 a week for a day for 12 hours of child care 5 days a week.
I pay my housekeeper $40 a day 3 days a week for cooking, cleaning and doing my laundry.
I have a gardner who I pay $20 each time he cuts my grass and trim my hedges.
I do not pay any payroll taxes, I do not provide health insurance or workmens comp. I do not pay for sick time, vacations, or holidays. I do not pay overtime.
Is there any American citizens out there who will do this work for what I pay my help? Could I rely on you to be at work on time, everyday?
Who is at fault here? Is it me, or is the workers who work for me, or is it American citizens who will not work for what I can afford to pay you?

You would think that someone hiding from the law would try and go unnoticed, and yet so many of them blast their car stereo at earthquake volumes at all hours of the night? Do you think that shows how stupid our immigration enforcement is in the US?

La Raza or other pro-illegal immigration organizations required to step up and pay the bill?

Why, instead, are we told there is nothing we can do about it, that we have to pay because the other party cannot...even when they are found guilty?

If they win, we won't have another chance to secure the border as by 2012 or 16, there will be so many illegals they will probably be legalized by them and then they will, of course, vote against this. Our 2 party system will become 1 party. The Democrats will rule.

To be honest though, the Republicans have hurt themselves. Not all, but a big minority have support illegal immigration as they are in the pocket of big business. Some have tried to pass "comprehensive" reform(Bush and McCain and Giuliani).

So Globalist neocons are in it for big business.

Progressive dems want to change the demagraphics.

So who are Americans to turn to in 2008? I think the only realistic choice would be Romney. Your opinions?

Do you think that was to keep it from passing? They seemed to add some really radical stuff towards the end. Some of it was downright frightening truthfully. Like did you know there was a clause to lock up a Z visa holder indefinitely without any cause? Yep that was in there. So seriously why would something like that be added if they really wanted it to pass?

I don't think they DO want these people legal. There's more money to be made by keeping them illegal. Wages stay down and business's profit. And the public blames the illegals. How nice for the big wigs huh? Keep us poor and a scapegoat to take the blame.

What do you think? Sound plausible?

There are people who complain it takes away jobs, but these people don't mention outsourcing.

There are people who say illegal is illegal, but these people don't also have a crusade against illegal music downloading, teenage drinking, or even driving without a seatbelt.

The minutemen line up along the Mexican border, but not the Canadian border.

There just seem to be so many inconstancies. Is the real reason people are against illegal immigration because they are tired of all the Mexicans? Do they subconsciously give the other reasons because they don't want to accept that they have a phobia of Mexicans and/or other cultures.

Much like the Romans, illegal aliens pour across U.S. borders at the rate of eight to 10,000 per day. Another 4,100 legal immigrants step foot on American soil, 24/7 from 100 different countries. That equals two million and more annually. They’re pouring in so fast--our schools, infrastructure and language can not cope with their sheer numbers. Even more sobering, our environment cannot withstand the onslaught.Already at over 20 million illegals, our Congress, president and corporations sit in their insulated and isolated ‘luxury’ box seats in Washington, DC, while average Americans suffer the ‘body counts’What are the signs showing this horrendous hemorrhaging of America’s national sovereignty? Today, our Congress and president serve foreign constituents above US citizens with H-1B and L-1 visas that have given one million jobs to foreigners in India, China and Brazil. Our wages, standards of living and quality of life are being eroded. In 1965, we had 72 immigration lawyers. Today, 8,000 immigration lawyers serve illegal aliens by exploiting every means possible to block deportation. Congress has done nothing to stop the flow of illegals since 9/11. Citizens in California overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187 to stop giving schools, food, medical care and aid to illegal aliens--yet it was overturned by political elites. Outsourcing and off-shoring by our corporations shuttles millions of Americans into unemployment lines. Our national language is undermined by our own leaders who are forcing us to deal with 100 languages in our schools with illegal aliens who have no intention of assimilating into America as citizens. Thus, they promulgate a massive crisis of Balkanization that grows by the hour. We’re being forced into toleration of people, traditions and cultures that are at odds with America’s basic heartland values.
