Pro-illegals like to throw the 'race card' on the issue. Are they right?

Question

Is the controversy about illegal immigration just a bunch of white lazy people etc? Or, is the race argument specious and unfounded?

Answer 1

The ISSUE Is NOT About Racism, Or Xenophopia At All

Its About Economics And National Security

The Race Card Was Introduced By The Leaders And Supporters Of The ILLEGAL Aliens
Namely LULAC, MEChA, And LA RAZA
Which Happen To Be Radical Racist Organizations Themselves

They (The ILLEGALs And Their Supporters)
Have Been Taught By These Groups
That It Really Hits A Nerve Among WE THE PEOPLE
To Be CALLED Or TAGGED A Racist
Because WE THE PEOPLE Are NOT Racists

WE THE PEOPLE Are NOT RACISTS
WE THE PEOPLE Are All A Nation Of Descendants
From People Of Every Nation In The World

WE THE PEOPLE Come In All Colors
WE THE PEOPLE Practice Many Religions
WE THE PEOPLE Speak A Variety Of Languages
And WE THE PEOPLE Have Accepted Each Other For Decades

WE THE PEOPLE Are Not
Nazis, Skinheads, Xenophobes, Or Racists

As A Nation
WE THE PEOPLE Have Learned Many Hard Lessons
And Written Many Ugly Chapters In Our History Books
Dr. King Comes To Mind As I Type This

It Is Not Fair Play For These Groups
To Disrespect Dr. Kings Memory
By Claiming That This Issue Is A Civil Rights Movement

It Is Also Not Fair Play For These Groups
To Teach Their Followers To Point Their Fingers At
WE THE PEOPLE
And Call WE THE PEOPLE Racists,
And Try To Compare This Issue With A Nazi Holocaust
Because Thats Steaming A Pile Of HorseS#IT

ILLEGAL Aliens Have A Vested Interest
To Protect Their "RIGHT" To Be Here,
Although They Dont Realize They Have No Rights Here
Because They Are Not WE THE PEOPLE
Their Leaders Are Feeding Them Nonsense And Propaganda,
Giving Them The False Belief That They Do

They Are Led To Believe Many Falsehoods,
And That Propaganda Has Spread
Like An Out Of Control Wildfire Among Them

"a bunch of white lazy people etc" Is Another Tool

WE THE PEOPLE
Are Proud, Honest, Hardworking, Faithful People
WE THE PEOPLE Go To Work To Support Our Families
WE THE PEOPLE Come Home And Enjoy Our Children
WE THE PEOPLE Go To Our Houses Of Worship

WE THE PEOPLE Hear About The (ILLEGAL) Immigrants
That Are Hardworking, With Family Values, And Strong Faith
Thats All Very Nice,
And WE THE PEOPLE Believe That

But Dont Stand There
And Point Your Finger At WE THE PEOPLE
And Try To Guilt WE THE PEOPLE
Into Allowing These 20 Million Hardworking ILLEGAL Aliens
To Take Advantage Of The Family Values And Faiths
Of WE THE PEOPLE

Dont Try To Guilt WE THE PEOPLE Into Allowing
You To Suck BILLIONS Of Dollars A Year
Out Of Our FAMILIES POCKETS
Through The Health, Education And Welfare Systems
That WE THE PEOPLE
Have Built For Generations
Before YOU Jumped The Fence

But Dont Stand There
And Point Your Finger At WE THE PEOPLE
And Accuse WE THE PEOPLE
Of Being Something Were Not

YOU Came Here ILLEGALLY, Not WE THE PEOPLE

EVERYBODY Wants Something Better Than They've Got
BUT YOU CANT HAVE MINE

Not By Stealing It

This Nation Was Built On The Strength
Of Honest, Hardworking, Faithful People
Millions Of Them Immigrated Here From Other Nations
And WE THE PEOPLE Have Built A Nation To Be Proud Of,
And WE THE PEOPLE Are Willing To Share Its Bounty

BUT

You CANNOT Come Here Over The Fence
And DEMAND To Be A Part Of It
Or STEAL The Rights That Come With Being A Citizen

And When Your DEMANDS Are Refused
By The People That OWN This Country
(That Would Be WE THE PEOPLE)
You CANNOT Point Your Finger And Call Us Racists

Well....You Can
But It Wont Get You Very Far
All Your Doing Is Pushing WE THE PEOPLE
Further Into The Corner
And When WE THE PEOPLE Are Cornered
WE THE PEOPLE Come Out Fighting

This Nation Has 300 Million Citizens
20 Million ILLEGAL Aliens Cannot Really Believe That
All 300 Million Of Us Are RACIST
Thats Just Pure Nonsense
WE THE PEOPLE Are DEFENDING Our Nation

WE THE PEOPLE cannot allow illegals to remain in this country
because it sends the very clear message to anyone
from any country:
Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally.
Nothing will be done to you.
The stupid Americans will pay
to feed you, clothe you, educate your kids
and pay for your medical care
while they themselves are forced to go without
because they can't afford health insurance
because their tax dollars are paying for you!

Ha, Ha! Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally
if you're a terrorist, no problem,
go ahead and build your cells,
blow up buildings and schools.



You REFUSE To Speak WE THE PEOPLEs Language
And REFUSE To Honor WE THE PEOPLEs Flag
And REFUSE To Obey WE THE PEOPLEs Laws

Yet These Are The Things That
WE THE PEOPLE Built For Generations And Value Dearly
And The Very Things That YOU Are Envious Of
And Want To Be A Part Of

Well ..... WE THE PEOPLE
REFUSE To Let YOU
Continue To Burden Our Pockets

You Call It INTOLERANCE???
Call It What YOU Wanna Call It-
If It Makes YOU Feel Better-
Call It RACISM,
If It Makes YOU Feel Better
Call Me A NAZI
If It Makes YOU Feel Better
Call It WHATHEF**KEVERYOU Wanna Call It-
As Long As It Makes YOU Feel Better

Whats Gonna Make WE THE PEOPLE Feel Better???

I Pledge ALLEGIENCE To The FLAG
Of The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA

I KNOW Im Not A Racist
I KNOW Im Not A Nazi
I KNOW Im A PROUD AMERICAN CITIZEN
And A HARDWORKING TAXPAYER
And A MILITARY VETERAN
And NOTHING YOU Call ME Is Gonna Change That

You DISGRACE WE THE PEOPLEs NATION???-
You DISGRACE WE THE PEOPLEs FLAG???-
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!

You've Brought This Upon Yourselves

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY

Answer 2

It's the ONLY defense they have for defending CRIMINAL behavior!!!! It does NOT matter which country, OR nationality they are from!! Illegal is ILLEGAL!!! If the pro-ILLEGALS use the "race" card,then that tends to take the FOCUS off the FACT that these people are committing a CRIMINAL act by sneaking into this country!!!

It just so happens,that the MAJORITY of illegals ARE from mexico, so they say "you're just prejudiced against mexicans",which is a total LIE!!! I,myself always use the word ILLEGAL, and i STILL get called all kinds of nasty little names.
This whole ILLEGAL immigration issue is not even about "race", but it IS about foreign citizens INVADING this country, draining our welfare system, and taking jobs and benefits that they have NO right to!!!

Answer 3

I think maybe the illegals know that as long as the race issue is out there than the REAL issue, the fact that they are here breaking the law, will somehow be forgotten in all the hysteria.
Isnt that always how people choose to confuse the issues?
Whether its civil rights or illegal aliens .
The color of ones skin should never cover the facts when someone is doing something they shouldnt be doing
Like crossing the border into our country illegally.
Any Border be it Mexico or Canada or by plane from Europe.
Do it right
Or go home.
Its rather simple to me

Answer 4

Im pretty certain that if a bunch of white people from antoher country came over here illegaly, there wouldnt be this big hoo-haa. But, looking across the globe, white people as a group dont really have a lot to worry about in their own countries. Yeah ~ racism has some to do with it. Lots of white, ignorant and sometimes (yes) lazy americans like to get all upity when pepole of color come "over here" and get jobs. "All this amercan dream stuff is OURS! how dare they try to come over here and get a piece of my fat lazy pie!!!" Hey lets face it, this has alot to do with the fact that many of our lawmakers dont like MEXICANS. They want as many reasons to shoot them crossin the border as they can. The race argument will ALWAYS be there until those in POWER stop acting like such racists! Some laws need to be broken enough times to change!

Answer 5

The race card is used alot ...in a lot of situations.
Yesterday evening ..watching the news...a club here in Seattle has been causing problems.
Noise problems ... a recent shooting...and in general just screwing up a quiet neighborhood.
The neighbors are organizing and demonstrating against the club.
The club owner...black guy from from Africa is claiming the neighbors are "RACIST". The funny thing is...a lot of the people demonstrating and lobbying the city to take action against the club are BLACK themselves and have been living in neighborhood for years and stated emphatically that they have not experienced racism in their neighborhood. They just want their quiet neighborhood back...minus the gun toting thugs.

Yelling "RACIST" is getting to be worn out red herring.

MEXICAN IS NOT A RACE.

When yelling racist won't work they will conjure up word like LATINOPHOBE.....
and then they hiss.."you're just a NAZI"
So predictable.

Answer 6

yes and no....

first of all immigration really shouldn't be about race..... it is more about the god worshiped in America: $$$$$$

however, race is an issue because people make it about race..... people from all over the world come to America for her greatness.... people want a better life.... and will sacrifice almost anything for a shot of living the American dream..... this issue is also about laws but when people are struggling to survive.... they really don't care about laws... they just want a better life!!!!

xenophobic and racists attitudes emerge toward people of color because of this immigration issue which breeds more racism and hostility between people of color and whites!!!! as people are pitted against each other.... large corporations are laughing all the way to the bank with the massive amounts of profits they make exploiting the undocumented worker

Answer 7

To me, it's unfounded. I don't want any persons entering this country illegally. That most are of Latin descent is only because we share a border and they have more reason to want to leave their homes than our neighbors to the north.

If boatloads of Caucasians from European countries start appearing on the shores of our east coast, I'd say "Nice boats. I hope they survive the trip back home."

Answer 8

on account it is the only card of their decks. anticipate them to play it to the hilt. remember, all people is a sufferer now, and no-one is to blame for their very very own strikes anymore. do no longer forget approximately the particular cost ticket on the ENTITLEMENT prepare. all people who questions this motive is a racist, xenophobe, illiberal bigot, etc. etc. What they do no longer inform you is that unlawful immigration isn't approximately race, faith or ethnicity. it is the rule of regulation and what's right for us of a. What might you anticipate from people who in straightforward terms care approximately themselves???

Answer 9

They haven't a leg to stand on without it (the race card).

Personally some make me wonder about the human race (is that racist?).

Answer 10

It is their security blanket... when all the facts are laid down, and they can't make a standing argument, they cut down the opposition, by yelling " RACSIM" . It is the act of the ignorant.
