My great grandfather immigrated to this country from europe, so I do have some what direct relatives that were immigrants. And I just don't see why your racist if you think ppl should follow the right channels to do something.
I guess if wanting only ppl that come to this country legally makes me a racist, then I am. But I have many friends who have imigrated to this country from all over, including mexico, and all did it legaly, and feel the way I do. Even one of my friends who did sneak into this country feel this way. And he is bashed all the time for this by his friends and family who think he is going against his "team" so to seapk

Actualy racism can be hating anybody, for any reason. Like hating ppl because they are blonde (which I am btw...well naturally at least) Or because of there religion, or wherel they live. Racism isn't just about color or place or origin, though it has become more accepted as long as you don't bring color into the mix

Because most people have too little education, plus they jump to conclusions before you even finish speaking.

No, it is not rascist to expect people to follow the right channels to get into a country. However these are changing times. The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. Nationalism and patriotism are self limiting in nature by default. Things need to be thought about on a global scale. Some of Americas foreign policies are not exactly giving people a fair chance in the world. For eg giving them loans for farming and then subsidising american farmers is not going to help a poor african farmer at all. How is he supposed to compete on prices with an american farmer then? Are you suggesting they should just give up their right to live? Why do americans complain when their jobs go abroad? Should they give up their right to live aswell! The world is struggling in poverty refused even the right to develop their power because the west does not want to share affordable nuclear technology with them. How are they supposed to gain employment with no industry. This world belongs to all of us. Poverty is the biggest cause of armed struggles worldwide. Do you know an average american consumes 4 times as much energy as anyone else in the world when there are places in the world where people live on less than a dollar a day, forget have power! We are living in times with ever shrinking resources!

Provided that the immigration requirements do not involve skin color, hair texture or physical appearance: the fact is that to approve of doing things legally is, in no way, racist. I agree with you that the right channels to gain entry into this country should be followed.

it's because it's a dirty word. I was called a racist because I called blondes stupid. I KNOW! and I'm white! LOL How stupid...had to come from a blonde! Honestly, it's because they are actually the rasists and don't understand that in english it means "hating a person based on skin color alone". Mexicans are the most rasist people I have EVER seen. More than any whites or blacks.

If that is how you think than it is because others are ignorant. As long as your view isn't motivated by hate for the individual or group of immigrants don't worry. Unfortunately, not all think as you do. They tend to dehumanize people with labels as aliens or illegals because it is easier to hate and to spread the hate.

only like the apostle Paul traveled appreciably to deliver information of Christ to human beings in all aspects, dedicated ones immediately are doing the comparable element. there have been tribes got here across in the final one hundred fifty years that, interior the final 2000 years, by no potential had any touch with Christians. Amazingly, although, they did have a legend of a depraved earth cleansed with the aid of potential of a international flood, with purely a handful of human beings surviving.

Could it be that lots of people think it shouldn't be illegal to want to better yourself, and cut through land that used to belong to your country anyway?

'cause most of the people who would wish to go to America illegally are not of Anglo Saxon descent.

I don't know, but I feel the same way you do, since my grandparents also came here legally.
