why is it that everybody puts the spanish race down all they are doing is working hard and doing jobs we aren

Answer 1

1. The Spanish are in Spain and I don't see much discussion of them here at all.

2. If you mean illegal immigrants of whatever ethnic background, we just don't want to pay for them. There are way way way too many to support without degrading our own services, already.

Answer 2

The Spanish race does not exist. There is a Spanish ethnicity and they live in Spain. Most Mexicans are Mestizos meaning they are mixed Spanish and American Indian. So in other words no one is putting the Spanish race down because the Spanish race does not exist.

Answer 3

There is no Spanish Race. If you refer to the people who speak spanish, which dialect would you use? If you refer to the Spanish people who illegally took over a country and rule it still are you an imperialist? If you refer to the natives that can't have elections because they are too busy breaking down our borders, then your very mis-in-formed. Go back to school, do not pass go, do not collect 200 bucks.

Answer 4

It's not the Spanish nor the Mexicans that are the problem, it's the illegal immigrants(from many countries) coming across our border with Mexico illegally:

1) The USA is in a tightened security state. That means we are screening people coming in at our airports and seaports closely. We should also be doing that on our land borders. People come across our borders with Mexico by the thousands daily and we have no idea who they are or what criminal intent they possess.

2) Illegal immigrants from our southern border are not screened for disease and many harbor deadly sometimes incurable disease and bring them into our neighborhoods, work places and schools. http://newswithviews.com/Cosman/madeleine3.htm

3) Illegal immigrants usually take jobs that pay extremely low wages and, by using fake or stolen social security cards, that low wage is supplemented by welfare which is paid for by legal American citizens from our taxes.

4) Crime rates in border states have risen dramatically due to the criminals coming across the border illegally.http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/back704.html

5) Because illegal immigrants take very low paying jobs it causes wages for Americans to plummet. Americans worked those jobs for a living wage and could again if illegal people were not offering to do them for slave wages. The owners make a bigger profit by hiring illegals yet the illegal lives in poverty. Illegal people should not even be here.

6) We do have people doing many of those jobs: housekeepers, home health care workers, child care, janitors, road crew workers, carpenters, yard care workers, so Americans DO those jobs, Americans have always DONE those jobs. Americans were getting better wages FOR those jobs when they did not compete with someone who works for slave wages.

7) The USA was built by immigrants who came here before there were laws on immigration or were screened through Ellis Island when there were laws. Those immigrants did not get a free ride, they started with little and worked hard, voted, made changes, passed laws, enforced those laws to keep this country a wonderful place to live. We Americans today vote and make changes to make this a better country and we also want our laws enforced. One law is to control immigration through enforcing our laws on illegal entry. It is the law.

Answer 5

no one is putting down a race of people,

And no they are doing jobs that employors don't want to pay min wage or a competitive wage for. There are plenty of legal people to do the job.

It is the same excuse peopel used to defend slaves, they were doing work others would not.

And next the only reason people are against them is that they are illegal aliens, "ILLEGAL"

Answer 6

They may do hard work, but they also steal (my uncle, who builds houses, has made the mistake of hiring them and ending up with a lot of things stolen), join and form deadly gangs (MS 13 anyone?), and pretty much trash the country. They have absolutely NO respect for the United States. send them back. Oh yeah, and they leave their damn shopping carts all over the place (i.e. - my apartment complex).

Answer 7

First of all, Spanish is not a race,it is a language or a citizen of Spain.If ' ILLEGAL ALIENS is what you are refering to in your question,we,or should i say most of us who do not belong in an insane asylum do not hate any human beings, we just want you to come here legally just like the Germans,Itilians,Irish and every one else who is not of indigenous origin or was dragged here on a slave ship.

Answer 8

Cherokee Rose gave a wonderful answer. Check out all the links she posted....she said what the vast majority of legal Americans believe.

Working...well, Bimbo, I work hard and have all my life. My children all work hard, my husband works hard, our neighbors work hard......people who don't work at something are called lazy.

Answer 9

I don't put them down. But if you mean the people from Mexico, I think the hardes part is that they don't speak good English if at all.

Answer 10

It's not the Spanish, it's anyone who is in our country ILLEGALLY, I don't care what kind of work they do, if they are not here LEGALLY then they need to GO HOME!!!
