what do you think about this : ANTI-HISPANIC AGENDA?

Question

In the most recent effort by radical anti-immigration organizations and individuals to exploit mainstream immigration concerns, a three-day summit to "Unite to Fight Against Illegal Immigration" was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 27 – 29. More than 400 people gathered to hear speakers describe illegal immigrants as "the enemy within" and "illegal barbarians," while suggesting that America was "at war" with illegal immigrants and calling for the need to "take America back."

"These groups are hiding behind the mask of illegal immigration when their real concern is the growing Mexican-American population," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "While there are legitimate concerns for America regarding illegal immigration, the fact that border vigilantes, and in some instances racist and anti-Semitic hate groups, are exploiting these concerns to promote an anti-Hispanic agenda is very troubling.

With mounting public awareness and concern over illegal immigration in America, the issue is being co-opted and exploited by anti-immigration activists, some of whom are reaching out to racist and anti-Semitic hate groups, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The rhetoric of these activists is largely aimed at Mexicans, not other illegal aliens, and frequently does not distinguish between Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.

Answer 1

Only intelligent, educated Americans distinguish between the illegals and the Mexican Americans that, in fact, are the growing minority soon to the majority.

It must be a shock on this forum that a white, single, American like myself would be pro amnesty. I am on the side of logic and reason. Congress will act with the same intention. Securing the borders is a bigger priority than bashing Mexicans already here, legal or illegal.

Answer 2

the ADL is and always has been a sorry excuse for what racist quotes they try to make the Americans believe. to have the ADL support the Mexican immigrant is a joke. the only reason they do this is to stir up hatred among the whites and make them forget the Jewish issue. they don't give a rat s a s s about the immigration problem, all they want is smoke and mirrors.

Answer 3

Ok, I will be very honest, illegal immigration IS, after all, ILLEGAL. Now having said that, there does seem to be a hatred towards them, for whatever reason...accursed racists...but I would like to point out one thing about the whole issue. This issue, and any ther one for that matter, such as women's rights, gay marriage, etc., is created (in my opinion) to distract you from everything else that is going on in the country. We are always fighting something (notice how the only phrase we have in our country to show that we're against something is "a 'war' on something") and it keeps us distracted from the more important issues in life. But w/e, the media has mastered this technique and some people just don't realize that they CAN be controlled by others.

Answer 4

If the people are using hate they will not get very far with their agenda. even the anti-Illegal immigration people will not fall for the hate thing. I am against illegal immigration but I don't hate the Illegals that are here. I want them to go back to Mexico and get in line with the other Immigrants. and to turn in their paperwork to become legal Residents.

Answer 5

What the Hell are you talking about? We have people from all around the world. Anyone from anywhere can come to America if they follow our rules. If they do not, they should not only be deported, but punished as criminals, because they are breaking the law. If they come to our country and ignore and break the law upon entery, they have no respect for our system. As far as it being a racist issue, look at my picture, I am a mixture of 3 races, I'd feel the same if it were an illegal Russian, or German, or Englishmen. The law is the law, plain and simple. Does your question mean to imply these criminals should be allowed to be rewarded by citizenship?

Answer 6

in every poll that i found not only are there 60 to 70% of the US citizens against illegals but 60 to 70% of the legal hispanic immigrants do not want them coming in the numbers they are coming in so what is your point what do you think will happen if no one does anything don't you see that people coming here that know they are not wanted can not be a good thing why would people that know they are not welcome come anyway no way you will convince me that this is friendly and innocent

Answer 7

Whatever gets the job done.
I want one of those jobs that there taking away.
They need to all go back all twelve million and demand change in ther own country...Thats the democratic way!

Sorry but our country is in need of some serious security and our economy is not as rosy as it seems.
It's like katrina and the government is not acting fast enough to keep out the bad element from infecting a noble cause.

Answer 8

ADL is not exactly unbiased on this issue.

However, you don't have to go to Las Vegas to hear anti-illegals say that we need to "take America back", it is on this board at least daily.

Answer 9

if you can point to a map and show me where hispania is cuz i shure as hell don't know where it is and why the **** does everyone think that mexico is the only country where illegals come from you need to look at a world map and you will find that theres more countrys south of mexico and where not ******* we did not cross a ****** ocean white people from england and where ever els they came from did

Answer 10

Yep. Like I have always said, racism against Mexican legal and illegal aliens. They also mentioned that they hide behind the usual rhetoric "I dont have a problem with immigrants just the illegal ones." Yeah right. Besides, that is completely why HR 4437 is not passing through , because it is just full of hatred and racism against Mexican immigrants. Therefore, trust me on this one, amnesty is just around the corner.

STOP HR 4437!!
