Latinos are the group most negatively affected by illegal immigrants. And there are millions of Hispanics that

Question

want no amnesty for illegal aliens and a stop to illegal immigration. Why don't we hear more from them on this issue?

Answer 1

Ok, for the person who say "they are spanish..." those are people from Spain. The term hispanic includes Latin America and Spain, the term Latino included Latin Americans.

It's so annoying when people just answer because but have no facts to back up their answers and don't even know what they are talking about. Educate yourself people.

Now, anwering your question. You're right. There are many legal immigrant who currently do not hold green cards, but work visas instead, who oppose to amnesty to other Latin Americans who have come here illegally. I mean, it does not make sense. Some people pay for their work visas, pay taxes, pay insurance, pay out-of-state prices in college, follow the rules, and yet they will be out of the Senate bill because that is only oriented to illegal immigrants. It is not fair to reward people who have come here illegally and let the ones who have come here legally on student and work visas be left aside. Those are the people who should be rewarded because you wouldn't believe how easy it is to work without documents, but yet some honest people decide to respect the law and they get screwed??

Answer 2

There does not appear to be a direct answer to your question.

1. I believe that this is the fault of the media. On occasion, you will hear from a Latino individual who is against illegal immigration, but that does not make big news.

2. Illegal immigration is a hot issue and, if the public knew the large numbers of Latinos who are against illegal immigration, it would divide our political parties. It's hard enough for our law makers to make a decision regarding illegal immigration when focusing on Latinos. It would be impossible to make a decision regarding illegal immigration if it became known that many Latinos object to illegal immigration. We're back to politics again.

Answer 3

I don't know who is most affected, you got me there. I do know illegal immigration costs the feds over 2 billion a year; 200 billion a year in lost wages; education illegal children 7 billion; SS Fraud 500 Billion over 22 years and growing; and all kinds of maneer and facts and circumstance.

On average, the taxpayer foots $55,000 a year PER IMMIGRANT.

Deport - 500 Billion
Keep them here - 500 Trillion
Freedom - priceless

Answer 4

I've seen polls confirming that, the heads of the Minuteman organization in Illinois and Utah (at least) are Hispanic, and there is a group 'They Don't Speak For Us' (or something like that) who were counter protesting.

However, the media seems generally in favor of the Senate Bill (I think the media generally hasn't READ the Senate Bill.) So I wouldn't expect to see too much about this in the press.

Answer 5

Because the gov't is now concentrating on the Mexicans. It should not matter what nationality or color you are, however you must do things the legal way. Our gov't is corrupt and greedy but We do need our laws, if we didn't have them this country would not be as great as it is. If you want to come to this country, do it LEGALLY. If people are ILLEGAL they must go back till they can get here Legally, keep trying to do it the legal way. When they do enter leagally they won't have to worry again about getting caught and going back. The stress alone would be worth doing it legally.

Answer 6

I wouldn't be so sure about that, a lot of em are probably trying to attain for their families what they've attained for themselves, only problem is, now some are realizing that there just aren't that many jobs going around....interesting witches' brew, a bunch of newcomers that don't speak english, don't have any money, and probably won't have much of a future...and the Senate's still just standing there...getting drunk and trying to forget the whole thing, most likely...

Answer 7

"Lucky j 2003". They are indeed "Latinos." They are only "Spanish" if they're from Spain. Put simply, "Spanish" is a nationality, not an ethnicity.

Answer 8

How much air time would they be given by the average white chauvinist broadcasting network?

Not so much.

Answer 9

Because maybe its like blacks going up against other blacks. But I don't expect you to get that, "Leifr Erikson". Something tells me you're very, very white.

Answer 10

Every person for illegal immigration should be forced to compensate these innocent people who have had their social security numbers and identities stolen by these illegals who invade our country with no care who they hurt. They should have to not only compensate the money lost from their social security accounts after they are zeroed out once the fraud is detected, but every last cent the victims had to pay taking time off work, every cent that went into photocopying documentation, every cent that went towards lawyers and gas driving somewhere to get this mess taken care of, and any other financial expenditure the victim had to cough up. They should also be forced to compensate the victims for the emotional hardships endured. They should have to compensate for the money and time spent trying to straighten out their credit ratings after these illegals have ruined them. They should be forced to compensate these victims for every single hardship related to what these illegals have inflicted upon these people. Currently, the system does not provide any compensation at all and a lot of people are never restored to previctimization status. Oh but these pro-illegals claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime that hurts no one and that we are whining when we complain.

'Total purgatory' for taxpayers
Frustration can mount for victims of this kind of fraud. Eventually, the government agencies involved do catch up with the legitimate consumers; but often, not until they are looking for money. Victims can have trouble getting disability or unemployment benefits. The government doesn’t try to alert victims of their victimizations, they usually find out by chance when they’ve been victimized further.
Other victims find the Internal Revenue Service on their backs, looking for payment of back taxes for wages earned by their imposters. Some see refunds held up by the confusion; others see their wages garnished.
Victims find themselves in a financial nightmare. All those imitators make a mess out of their work histories, Social Security benefits records and credit reports. Victims are haunted by bills and creditors. Victims receive threatening letters from the IRS, asking to pay taxes on money earned by these illegal Mexican colonizers. Victims are told to re-pay unemployment benefits they had received, after the government discovers they were "working" while drawing benefits when it was really these illegal Mexican invaders all along.

You think these illegals care that they are hurting innocent lives? Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America.

Then the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.

The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.

Cultural imperialism

We experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our “immigration problem.” Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and events—all of them framed by the media’s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigration’s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of “immigrant rights”—we don’t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.

Another reason we miss what’s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as “good dads,” “hard working folks” seeking to better their lives and their family’s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nation’s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchism—to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialism—to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially

(3) Economic parasitism—to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo. "
