why do people always say '''well the Europeans,,,Irish,,Italian etc all came illegally in the 1800s

Question

almost all europeans came legally do this date,,,, does anyone have a stat on this notion and why do pro-illegals think this ,,,,,are they saying they were illegal becuase they were 'white' and white is always illegal' in America''what is the logic behind this crap

sittin you need to wake up and realize nobody cares if you are latino in fact most people would kiss your *** most likely you have to cme legally thats all

bunt you and me speak three languages but most illegal and legals don't that is soo stupid

Answer 1

Because it's true. Al they had to do was touch US soil. Coming to Ellis Island meant citizenship. Now we work hard, pay taxes, speak many languages, have college degrees, come on visas and it's impossible to be legal unless you marry for papers! If you have never been thru US immigration, you have no clue how things are today.

Answer 2

They say that because they don't read, hear, speak, write, or think carefully, and so miss the distinction between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants.

But then the reasoning of those who call this "an invasion" isn't better -- no, they aren't here with weaponry to conquer the country, they are here for jobs that American employers hire them to do. (I don't see anyone in this question saying anything about the employers who hire them; no, it's always attack the most powerless.)

That's how those who own most of everything keep their position; by distracting people and setting them all against each other.

Answer 3

None of it makes sense. But this is The United States of America; if they want to be here, they can come here through the proper legal channels. Sneaking across the border, taking away jobs from willing Americans, sending money out of country (which hurts our economy by lowering money in circulation), not knowing english etc, are grounds for an @$$ kicking. What I really don't like is when Latinos make a big deal about us being racist cause we don't want illegals coming in. They're just stereotyping themselves and us. First they make reference to all illegals being Mexican, therefor only Mexican, and claim that all whites think that all Mexicans are illegal. Not all illegals are Mexican, some are Canadian, European, Australian, Asian, South American, and yes of course there are Mexicans.

Answer 4

The logic is, they are fools. Completely ignorant of laws in effect during the time period they want to discuss.

You find the same people discussing the US Constitution using a 2006 dictionary. The document was written using a 1776 dictionary. And before it starts: The dictionary does not define words. It reflects the CURRENT usage of those words. For any nonbelievers I suggest the following experiment. Procure a preWWI dictionary. Look up the word "COMPUTER" compare it with a current dictionary "definition". You will find a slight discrepancy.

Answer 5

Yeah, I know what you mean. Listen, pro illegals (which means pro crime...because illegals mean ILLEGAL) always go for that imaginary point because it's all they have.

And I would like to point out a few things about the Europeans that came here. This country was built and grew on their backs. They came here and did not get a hand out. They worked hard, and got their American dream the right way. They joined the military.

The illegals here today have done nothing good for this country. They take every hand out they can get, they have babies like rabbits, they bring crime and a total lack of respect for our government, our flag etc. They (the men) seem to really like our teen age girls and knock them up every chance they get. The cannot drive! They get their un taxed paychecks and send most of the money back home to help Mexico's government not ours.

Answer 6

"are they saying they were illegal becuase they were 'white' and white is always illegal' in America''what is the logic behind this crap "
Ok, now change all the "white" to "brown" and welcome to the everyday life of every latino in America!!


Actually Hitty, I was born here but you can kiss my *** anyways if you want!!

Answer 7

The entire Mexican/Legal versus Illegal Immigration issue is a vast conspiracy by the Communists to lower the standard of living for everyone and destroy family values and cultural cohesion. Wake up people!

Answer 8

It's more rhetoric they've been working on...Mexico's a hole, and until the citizenry OF Mexico turn and face the issue squarely, we'll hear more and more....in the last 150 years, America's become a top-notch, leading-edge technologically advanced society...Mexico's become a.....well, what exactly IS Mexico, today? Well, for one thing, it's a little better off than they'll 'fess to, because if they have enough money to solve their problems, then there's no marketable sob-story to try and squeeze the United States for money with. My opinion is, if they can build 5-star tourist traps, they can damn well build schools and hospitals, and support their own people. IF, for some reason, they 'cant', then further attention needs to be paid to how much money they get from us every year, because obviously someone's pocketing it...

Answer 9

The Europeans,,Irish,,Italians, etc. didn't came to the USA illegally in those days, the USA in those days welcome every immigrants that came legally, just like right now. We the American people welcome every body that come to our country legally. What we don't and will never permit is the illegal immigration coming from any country. Specially the invasion of illegals coming from Mexico. Is an invasion, with out control and we will not permit it.
