Why do stupid Americans think they should blame immigrants for their problems?

Question

Look in the mirror people and you might see the real problem. Immigrants work harder and longer than their lazy American counterparts that want to be given everything. I have never seen one valid reason in the press and especially on this site whywe should close the borders. This country is founded on the principles of equality and the dream of freedom and opportunity, yet all you Conservatives wants to deny yet another group these freedoms.

Anyone who thinks that illegal immigrants are responsible for any large % of identity theft is stupid. Americans identity theft other americans and that is a fact.

I've already decided that the 3-pg long answer is the best even though I have not read it and probably do not agree with what it says. But any answer that long has got to be the best one.

Answer 1

Here, Here! There is no valid argument is exactly right. All that can explain this disturbing issue is discrimination and bigotry. Conservatives love to make themselves superior to one group or another. But I believe more people are trying to understand this, so we are not all stupid, just blinded by the lop-sided media coverage and lack of true facts. Unfortunately, what is on American t.v. is what is seen as true, and that's not always the case.

Answer 2

This is just an additional speculation not a direct answer to the question, but dont u think its funny how alot of the schools with a large hispanic community, more in particular the high schools and some of their american born hispanics think they can just get out of school and go protest with all their friends and family, like literally drop their text books and ditch school, im emphasising the kinda of mental level that the teenage hispanic conveys from time to time. Though immigrants do work hard i think their kids should start getting consumed in the American life style, not the Mexican.

Answer 3

Listen stupid, we are at war. You know these terrorists have crossed the border. We shouldn't even be having this conversation. These people are breaking the law. I resent being called lazy. I have worked for 35 years, and never received a handout from my government. I do agree that anyone should be allowed into this country as an immigrant, however do it legally. And by the way, I am not a conservative.

Answer 4

Some americans are lazy and some just want to be paid a little more than, I dont know, 3 dollars an hour when minimum wage is 5.50! If Immigrants want American freedoms they should fix thier own country and not come to ours.

Answer 5

its true, Americans and people who dont have a solution-out always have scape-goats or someone to blame. Immigrants do work the hardest, otherwise why else would they come. People keep thinking that immigrants just come here to chill or to just over-populate the country. The only reason they leave their homes and come to the promiseland, is because they want to work and earn more money. Theres nothing else the United states can offer but jobs.

Answer 6

So, you are saying it's stupid to believe the news when they say a lot of the identity theft is caused by illegal immigrants and what....we should believe you?!! You're an imbecile.

YOU look in the mirror, that's the problem.

Answer 7

I'm not opposed to immigrants, just illegal ones. See, legal immigrants are just like every day citizens, they pay taxes, etc. Illegal ones are paid under the table and somehow bypass the system to get welfare and health insurance (I know illegal immigrants that HAVE this don't ask me how!) which is currently paid for by those working citizens and immigrants that PAY taxes. Those illegal ones are freeloading in our country while other people foot their bill.

Answer 8

The only reason you think you haven't found one valid reason on here is because you disagree with whats being said. I can think of a few right off the top of my head (1) Its against the law (2) they drive wages down (3) they drive property values down (4) its not safe having 11 million people running around and that we know completely nothing about their background (5) whet-er you refuse to admit it or not they take jobs from people all ready here!!

Answer 9

You are completely wrong about the crime statistics, and since you aren't new here and have had ample opportunity to educate yourself, I have to assume you just don't want to know the facts.

Illegal immigrants are given education here and don't get it in Mexico, if they were citizens there. Who do they think pays for it? And the birth of that baby they walked across the border to have, who do they think pays for that? And food stamps and welfare for that baby who would have none of those things if born south of the border, who pays for that? We subsidize almost all of the cost of those kind of services for poor people here even if they pay all taxes.

Poor people are an economic burden on a country. We still let some in legally because we are more welcoming than most countries (Check out Mexico's laws if you want to compare ours with a country that legally accepts no poor immigrants at all.) Poor people who come here illegaly by definition come above the amount of poor people we want to pay for. They have no right to have us pay for them. They aren't "equally" paying for us, so "equality" has nothing to do with it.

Meanwhile our own children and poor aren't getting the benefit of the services we have funded for their use. We don't want to pay for other people's poor. They should work out benefits with thier own country. We do want to take care of our own.

Answer 10

Ive a suspicion that the people saying Americans are lazy, are indeed, the ones who are lazy. Those guilty conscious fools feel that everyone works like themselves i guess.
Similar to the old " i smell a fart, while looking around" You know your the guilty one but you want others to think someone else is to blame.
