Regardless of which side you support in the illegal immigration debate, is anyone else sick of the arguing and

Question

the racism that occassionally comes from both sides in this "debate?" Has anyone actually changed their stance one way or the other from the debate on Yahoo Answers? Aren't we all glad there is an immigration question that we can all answer without attacking each other?

Answer 1

Amen to this :)

Though for the record, I have never taken the debate to be about race.

Answer 2

The migrant workers are here doing jobs that most Americans will not do for the pay they are offered. I have no problems with migrant workers as long as they have a work permit. My stance has not changed, I also support the annex Mexico, it seems we're supporting their economy anyway. I have many Mexican friends and their families are torn apart by this issue. Many believe that the illegals should be made to leave and go about coming here the right way, but others think that if they are here and are working that they should be made citizens. Where I work has gotten bad enough that the application now says that if you can not read and write English that you are ineligible for employment. That is not discrimination either, in my view, we work with the public and for all of you that have gotten one of those people that don't speak english when you call your cell phone company with a question, you know how frustrating it is to ask a question and they don't understand enough English to answer you.

Answer 3

I would like to see this issue debated more often, actually. Our generation has such a short attention span these days.

I live in the southwest, and the illegal immigrants are literally tearing our communities apart at the seams.

We must debate and address this most critical issue.

Answer 4

Everyone once in a while, we get to read a decent question like yours, yes. You speak a great truth. I came to this forum early on when Yahoo answers was new; I left, needed a break from all the nonsense, the kid games and jerks. I'll see how long I can last this time; and no, nothing really seems to change with people.

Answer 5

Yeah. I used to say annex Mexico, but got ignored. After reading all the statements by illegal supporters, I realize this is an invasion, not an immigration issue. They aren't here to be Americans. THey aren't coming legally and flying American flags. They are falsely claiming the southwest and California is their country already and we are the illegals and they are flying Mexican flags. I've changed since coming on here.

Answer 6

I have changed my stance on this issue....

I used to be neutral, I really didn't have an opinion on the issue. But one day, I accidentally stumbled on yahoo answers and starting looking at all the categories....Then I came here, immigration board, just out of curiosity....

I was shocked, my mouth dropped from reading all the hate and misinformation, being said about Mexican people.....So I decided to take a stance on being pro amnesty....

I live on the border you know, I see these people everyday....And for the most part they are good people....That's my opinion....take it for what its worth.

Answer 7

Yea I am very sick of the whole topic. I understand that it is important BUT there is many different things equally important that is wrong with the country. Plus, would we find the same thing wrong if someone from Canada was working here illegally ?

Answer 8

That debate means nothing to most of the world. But we do like to watch the Americans 'go for it'

Answer 9

And what race do you think of an unlawful, immoral, criminal invader is? some human beings save citing names like Hispanic, latino, etc. (no longer RACES) and ignore approximately the different team of unlawful aliens! isn't that racist? they save speaking approximately their lord god splc that's actual certainly one of the main racist companies on earth! The splc lies, plenty! And is extremely deceptive at their terrific! If a team went on your state and doubled the crime value there might you opt for for to rid your us of a of those outsiders? might that make you a racist? Welcome to AZ! 50% of the crime committed right this is committed via Mexican nationals interior the country illegally! If Sheriff Joe tries to eliminate then he's categorized a racist! I some human beings have confidence that removing criminals is a racially inspired situation! whilst did criminal ever advance right into a distinctive race? Violence against "latinos"? unlawful aliens kill 9,000+ human beings interior the U. S. throughout the cost of a legal (maximum of those are via "Latino" unlawful aliens)! i think preserving your self is now a racially inspired "situation"? enable's settle for it professional-unlawful, immoral, criminal invader groupies yell "Racist" on the drop of a hat and maximum are the main racially inspired human beings you may decide for to fulfill! have you ever heard the splc say something high quality appropriate to the Irish unlawful aliens? How appropriate to the chinese language? NOPE! basically the Hispanic unlawful aliens! Now if that's no longer racistt! ...
