Mona, that last question about blacks was from a nutso. If you put all whites in the same category as one, you are being just as prejudiced as you accuse whites of being.
I do think illegal immigration is different than legal immigration when you are talking about a country that subsidizes programs for the poor, such as education. I think it is only right the country doing the subsidizing should be able to say how many they want to let in and pay for.
However, I don't hate any nationality or race. I just think we need an immigration policy that first takes care of the people who already live here.

Ok, I'll entertain you for a moment. Maybe whites are tired of being generalized on this board. When somebody refers to Americans being racist, then it is only fair that somebody points out the fact that America is made up of more than white people. You are doing the same thing, by assuming that whites think they own everything.
People blame whites because a bunch of scumbags three hundred years ago owned black slaves. well, whites were not the only people to own black slaves, read this

Americans are not racist agains Mexicans, Blacks, Browns, or yellow people. Americans are not tolerant of people who have broken our laws to be in this country. Do you get it? We are not tolerant of Americans who break our laws, that is why our prisons are overflowing, and we can't build new ones fast enough. Tolerance only goes so far, and taking advantage of another countries kindness is not very nice.

We are not angry at Mexicans. We are angry at illegal immigrants. Do you know what would happen to you if you crossed the border into Mexico without legal papers? You would end up in a stinking Mexican jail.
My parents came to this country legally. They waited years to be admitted. They had to have a clean bill of health, a job and a knowledge of English. Every country in the world has boundary rules. Why shouldn't the US?

PrettyMona, I find your questions particularly frustrating to answer because you are so childish-sounding all the time with your spouting of "hate" and "racism" and you sound like a petulant child yelling at a parent - just see what you said, "I don't care why I say anymore!..." "Good Bye!" You remind me of my daughter and how she responded to me when she was 15 years old and couldn't get her way with me and would run to her room and slam her door. Grow up! If you are on this site, I believe you are supposed to be at least 18. If you have lied in order to be here, then that explains it all to me. I can understand when pro-illegal immigrant posters get emotional because either they themselves are illegal or they are in love with someone who is illegal or they are dear friends with illegals. In fact, sometimes I know pro-illegal immigrants supporters even get very irate here because they feel guilty about the fact that they are benefiting from illegal immigrants in a way because they know they are paying them **** wages and no benefits and benefiting immensely from the sweat off their backs.
However, you need to try to be more rational in your postings here, if you want other American citizens to understand where you are coming from. Don't just rant and rave illogically - have some rational statements and facts here, if you expect people to agree with you. Don't just go off pouting when you don't find people agreeing with you. Okay?
Take a few deep breaths, and start again.

Everyone, as I can see have had participated in this so called "hate" thing you are talking about including yourself. I guess it's triggered by contoversial questions, don't get way too defensive it's just a question and answer thing and most of the time bears truth. but sadly most people can not handle the truth. If you ask a question, expect answers...it may or may not be the one you want to hear...that's life.

EXCUSE ME,but there are MORE to Americans than just "white" and "black",you know!!! Americans are made up of all colors,and ALL KINDS of different "races!!! And YES, you have insulted people on here,including me,but i ALSO, have said some things that i have regretted,so we will start over,OK??!!!
The WHOLE immigration thing is NOT even about the hispanics as a "race",anyways!!! To be a "racist" is to HATE a WHOLE race of people,which MOST people do NOT!!! YES,we are AGAINST illegals SNEAKING into this country!!! YES,we are AGAINST them BREAKING our laws!!! Yes, we are AGAINST them driving down wages and taking jobs that Americans NEED and WILL do!!! Yes,we are AGAINST having to pay the cost for their welfare services!!! You DO realize,that not ALL hispanics work in the fields, taking the hot, jobs no one else wants, don't you??
I know people who have LOST their jobs in construction,because of illegals,who work for LESS pay!! Americans, do NOT live in a cramped house with 20 other people!!! (and this is NOT a racist remark,it's just a FACT)So, American workers NEED the higher wages to support THEIR familys!!! They have wives and kids,just like EVERYONE else!!!
AND, we do NOT like the fact that illegals use STOLEN and FAKE i.d.'s to work here! Do you even realize what HARM this causes to others??!! My friend had his i.d. STOLEN by an illegal,and he did not even KNOW it,until the I.R.S. came looking for HIM,to try and make him pay taxes for a job he had NEVER even had!!! Is this FAIR to my friend, and people like him, who have their i.d.'s stolen??? NO WAY!!! So you see,it's not about hispanics,but it IS about FAIRNESS and JUSTICE!!!!

well aren't you guilty of that too. you actually singled me out not once but 2X. listen, my experience with a certain race were all bad and very traumatic. i did not start the whole thing. if you see my earlier questions/posts i was bullied by mexican girls, there were 5 of them and there's only 2 of us, me and my gay friend. they don't play fair. also it was followed by a nasty experience with a hispanic Gardener that's perverted. now can you really blame me for not associating myself or have developed a feeling of dislike towards mexicans or latinos? based on this answer and you still continue to call me a racist, maybe you are right...but i'm not the only one. that goes for you too.

Well, if you feel that everyone no matter what race should be in the U.S.A illegally then DO YOU WANT ALL THE AL-QAEDA MEMEBERS HERE TOO???? Duh, there has to be some kind of screening and registration process to entering the U.S.A. because of the security of the U.S. This is the year 2006 not 1700.Get real and I don't really care what anyone says about me ,BUT I AM NOT RACIST!!!!

Nooo 1st it was the blacks (as we are called) We fought for many years with slavery and after it,we set the way.we refused to set at the back of the bus and got arrested.We got killed just 4 trying to vote.....The Mexicans are going to have to struggle like we did.Remember it was black men and weman who fought and died so that other people of color could eat at restaurants without race Problems..

I don't care if anyone hates me either, but I agree with you. The "Native Americans" A.K.A "The Indians" are home to this country and "whites" are mostly from a type of Europen Descent.
