Why are people racist against undocumented workers?

Question

Some people call undocumented immigrants less than human. That their citizen children don't deserve any opportunities. Where did YOU come from. I don't think George Washington needed a visa to come to America!!!

Answer 1

People like to hate.

This crap about 'illegal immigrants' and all the negativity surrounding them is hardcore, good old-fashioned racism. Besides, isn't the US based on the 'land of opportunity' ideals? I wonder how all the native americans feel about these whitey invasions.

Answer 2

To me the question replaced into logical, with the shoe on the different foot (so which you would be able to desire to communicate). enable me attempt destroy it down for people who will possibly no longer no longer have the wonderful reading comprehension. Why is Mexico (the country of Mexico) racist (this be conscious is self explanatory, used as a lame argument by those helping unlawful immigration to the U.S. as an argument against those that don't) on the subject of undocumented workers (the term those helping unlawful immigration to the U.S. use to categorise an unlawful alien). he's speaking approximately those that artwork in Mexico illegally (undocumented workers). curiously he heard that the Mexican regulation enforcement tactics are stricter than the U.S. on the subject of unlawful extraterrestrial beings (interior the country OF MEXICO) what's retarded approximately this? call calling isn't necessary, he purely had a valid question... i do no longer think of all people could desire to be skinny-skinned approximately being asked a query approximately racism...the U.S. is accused of this continuously. AN unlawful ALIEN isn't A RACE.

Answer 3

I don't really think it's racism, but more anger. As an undocumented or illegal worker you aren't paying any taxes for the country you are currently residing in. The people who are living there and legally working are footing the bill for services they are receiving. Illegal immigrants are sending their children to public school, which the tax payers are paying for. They are getting on welfare and Medicaid, again which tax payers are putting there hard earned money into. Granted, there are people who seriously abuse the system, and it's not perfect, but rules and laws need to be followed. I applaud anyone who comes to the US and sincerely wants to contribute to the country. They work legally, pay their taxes, and try to fully integrate into the American way of life. It's great to support your heritage, but the country you live in, work in, and want to be a citizen of should come before that, it's called patriotism. Just like if I wanted to become a citizen of another country. You follow there laws and try to integrate into their society. You don't go saying "I want to be a German" then walk down the street waving an American flag, it's disrespectful to the country you are in and want to be a citizen of.

Answer 4

Here we go again....

I am assuming you mean illegals, mostly illegals from Mexico. Remember their behavior on May day? That is a large part of it, not that you really want to hear it. Also, I'm sure G. Washington didn't bring another flag of a different country and march in the streets insulting the people already living there, did he? Illegals don't belong here. We don't need them. Get legal or get gone.

Scottakro said it very well. We are tired of these criminals getting handouts from a system that they never pay into. And when you dare say anything, you are always labeled a racist, whether you are or not.

Answer 5

George Washington was born here and helped CREATE America, so no, no visa.

Look up 'racist'.

We shouldn't have to pay for their children if they are here illegally, and you shouldn't have been born here. If you are a citizen, you are, but you shouldn't have been. That is 'gaming' our system and we resent it.

So would you, if the shoe were on the other foot.

Answer 6

That was then this is now. Now this is a country with laws that are being broke. I hate fricken illegal people coming over here with an attitude thinking they are better than me while they are stealing my benefits And my fellow Americans benifits. I hate that they push the wage down. I hate that America is getting the fricken life sucked out of it. I hate other countries starting groups like La Raza and La Mecha that are secretly planning to take us over. I hate people trying to destroy the Country I live in.

Answer 7

I myself have no problem with illegal immigrants.I am Native American and consider most everyone in this country descendants of "illegal"immigrants.However,I think the reason most people have a problem with illegals is the fact that they take away from OUR benefits.We are here legally,have to pay taxes,and still often have problems getting Government assistance.Then come the illegals that DON`T pay taxes,and they get benefits right away.I think most people expect you to go through legal means to be here,just like everyone else has to do.You shouldn`t be treated as nothing,but you shouldn`t be allowed to go around the same law that all the legitimate citizens have to abide by.

Answer 8

It's not racism, it's breaking the law (if they are illegal). I came from Georgia, and I have never taken government assistence, and illegals don't deserve any rights for benefits that my taxes paid for. And, uh, I hate to break this to you, but George Washington would have gotten a visa if the law required one. It's not a race issue, it's a LAW issue. I feel the same about rapist, and burglars, and muderers.

Answer 9

Don't confuse being racist with a dislike for criminals. I am an African-American living in Detroit as my family has for 150 years. No one gives me any special treatment, why do you deserve such opportunities beaner?

Answer 10

You can't be serious... undocumented illegals - not paying tax. There for, every body else is working and paying tax for them. You think that's fair? You need to grow up and look at the big picture.

Answer 11

It isn't RACIST to object to people breaking your nation's laws! George Washington was born here (Virginia in 1732). Sneak into any country and see if officials there take the matter lightly.
