Im interested to know what YOUR personal reason is.
Some people hate them because they are poor, brown, and speak a different language. Is that why you hate them?
Some people hate them because they don't like the same things we do? Is that why you hate them?
Some people say they hate them because they are "illegal." But thats not really a reason. What if we changed the law tommorow to make all illegals legal? Would you like them then? What if from now on all immigrants entering the U.S. were legal. Would you like the immigrants then? Probably not. So the illegality isn't the issue. So what is the issue? Why DON'T you want people who want to work hard and make a better life for themselves here?
I'm just curious. There seems to be so much hatred out there and I'm just trying to find out why YOU hate the immigrant?

You sound like a white hater to me..
I have been on this site for a long time. I can't say I remember seeing but maybe 1 or 2 statemtents saying they dislike immigrants.
In no way should it be made legal for the Illegals to be here. I have to face the law when I break it and they should have no get out of jail free card unless I can have one too. So if all Illegals would get legal I would not have a complaint and I am willing to bet 90% of the others or even more would have no problem with them either.
There is very little hate from white to any other color of skin that I see. It is normally the other way around. Most all that are not white hate whites.

I do not hate them. If tomorrow the laws were changed and they became illegal, I still wouldn't think that it is right to allow that many people to come across the border into America. There are many legal immigrants who come from Mexico and I don't hate them, so it can't have anything to do with being poor, brown, Spanish speaking. I don't care if they are poor or rich, brown or white, but I don't want them coming across the border, not paying taxes, getting free education and medical treatment. Basically taking from the tax payers without ever paying taxes. I don't like the fact that they work for less money than any American can be hired for. And I HATE the fact that you try to make it a race issue.

I don't hate legal immigrants. I don't 'hate' illegal immigrants either, but I think we need to enforce our limits on immigration of poor people who take more out in services than they pay in taxes, because our schools, health care and other services are being ruined for our own people. That is why the laws exist, to begin with.
Just making all immigrants legal ignores the REASON there is a law.

Because they make house prices rise (at least here in south florida)...
plus some refuse to learn english and some run around talking about how much america sucks.... and most cant drive worth a crap... and almost all of them live off of welfare... they get paid "under the table" and dont pay taxes.... i could go on....
but I don't HATE illegals... they just screw up our economy (which is going to h&^^ anyway...) Oh and theres a difference between "illegals" and "immigrants"... there is "illegal immigrants", but not every immigrant is illegal. I dont have a problem with immigrants who come over here legally and have real jobs and pay taxes too.

I don't hate immigrants, I hate illegal immigrants, get it right!
I don't see why immigrants want to come in American illegally because 1. they have no life style because they don't have any information or even money. 2. Maybe doesn't understand our language.
Many people have hatred towards these illegal immigrants because they have no right to come into this new country for free. All the other immigrants had to go through all the signing to beome a citizen, I was one.
People don't hate them because of their color, wealth, language, or like...where the hell did you get that from?
If the illegal immigrants actually went through the paper work to become a citizen, I will not have any problem.
Why do you hate illegal immigrants?

I don't really hate them. They are just trying to make the best of a bad situation. I just don't care to have them trying to enter our country illegally. That's just wrong no matter what way you look at it. From a social to an economic view it hurts our country and it's an insult to the numerous immigrants who have strived hard and have made it here legally. Hopefully things can be done both from our side and theirs to make this situation become more agreeable. Our side for getting rid of some of the red tape and B.S. surrounding the immigration policies, and their side for making their own country more reasonable to live in and if immigrating at least attempting to abide by our culture and country. Learn to speak english, pay taxes, and try to make the best out of our immigration process.

Immigrants is a rather broad category and there are many immigrants that are legal, did you mean to say illegal immigrants?
Well, the only problem I have with illegal immigrants is that some say they want to live the "American Dream," if this is true then they would go through the process of becoming a legal citizen.
I know our ancestors did not have to go through a process to become American or "legal," but times have changed.

Senor,
The legality of one's immigration status IS the issue. When you dismiss this notion, then you dismiss people's objection to the American-Mexican border issue.
America has the right to control commerce, trade, and citizen status within its border. If America cannot control or restrict what happens in America, then chaos runs the government.
You state, "What if from now on all immigrants entering the U.S. were legal." Then please define "immigrants." The fact that the media has coined the term, "illegal immigrants" sets up your quandary. Fact is: Mexicans entering into America ILLEGALLY are criminals--plain and simple. They are not immigrants because to be an immigrant, one must abide by the immigration laws of America. Immigration status is bestowed upon a person by the government--not simply walking ILLEGALLY into a country.
Therefore, your question is, "Why do YOU hate CRIMINALS?"
duh...

I don't think anyone hates them, but rather, they hate what they do.
They trespass and come into this country illegally, knowing it's wrong. They burden many of our systems, keeping it impossible to get these social services to Americans who really need them. They keep our minimum wages where they are, tax our healthcare, school, and medical systems.
Also, they bring gangs, drugs, violence and diseases.
We need to hold the Mexican govt accountable for improving their own economy so that they won't feel the need to come here for free services.
For instance, why would a pregnant Mexican have a baby in Mexico at the cost of $2700.00 when they can come here and have it for free?
These are not the same immigrants who came to this country in the early 1900's. Those people came here to build up a country and make it great. Not destroy it and tear it down.

Unless you're a "Native American," you're an "immigrant" yourself, and thus a shameless hypocrite if you hate immigrants.
It's just the usual case of people trying to defend the status-quo. We're comfortable here in our suburban sheltered ignorance, and it seems easy to blame all society's ills on "illegals," even though they might do a nice job on our lawns.
I'm not saying our system of dealing with illegal immigration works. But people come here for a reason - namely, work. And guess who hires them? People who want cheap labor and no questions asked. So where's the problem? Mexicans wouldn't come here if there weren't an endless supply of jobs available from people who don't feel like paying a decent wage.
Incidentally, you can't live off "social services" as an illegal. lol...how exactly would that work?
