Have americans forgotten that illegal immigrants are HUMAN BEINGS too?

Question

Its seems like many of them hate them like if they weres some kind of rapists, murderers (or something serious) like that. But actually the only thing they do is to get a better life in another country, because in their country they don't have the same opportunities because of their corrupt government...Do you think is fair to treat them that bad?

And BTW is not easy for a poor person to be "legally" in another country.

Answer 1

I think they have forgotten. After all we are all immigrants whether we came here legal or we forced the indians of this land and forced our way in.

Answer 2

If they come legally they are welcome, we cannot have people coming any time they want, every country has immigration laws.Deporting them is not treating them bad, it is law full and needed. The rapists, murderers, pedophiles, perverts, thieves and diseased Mexicans are coming with all the illegals, do you really think it is just good people that are crossing our border. Their are a lot that are here to do us harm and our children harm. And they will keep coming until we stop them, that is what Ellis Island was about in the early years of immigration, they came through Ellis Island, the criminals and diseases people were sent home. They don't have a right to come and stay when their are people that have done it legally and are waiting to come in and be Americans, it is not fair to them. If you just let people come in their is no since in having an immigration system.

Answer 3

I have certainly not forgotten. I have great sympathy for that man who just wants to make enough money to feed his kids.
I am not scared of the hard working illegal who sneaks across the border. It's the drug dealers, criminals, etc, that slip in along with them. We need to seal the border & reform immigration law so we can let the good, hard-working people in, & keep the scum out. (we have enough scum of our own - we don't need more)
I am also concerned with those who don't learn English. I think everyone should learn a second language, but that includes immigrants (illegal or otherwise). Learn English!

But there are people who feel threatened by those who actually have a healthy work ethic as well as those who just don't want any more "beaners" in America. Please don't lump me with either of those groups.

It's is fair to look at why someone is against illegal immigration. It is not fair to assume the reason is racism. I hope that's not what you are doing.

I want immigrants to continue to come to America. I just want them to come here legally.

Unfortunately, the current system makes it hard to immigrate legally, & easy to immigrate illegally.

That is so twisted!

We need to make the beaurocratic process of immigration easier, while keeping the illegals out! And then we need to be strict with those who employ illegal immigrants.

Answer 4

BUT - a great many of them coming out of Mexico, our beloved neighbor to the South, are drug dealers and members of the Mexican Mafia and other gangs. Yep, they can get more money for their drugs and the gang bangers have more people to kill and steal and rob from. Suppose you could call that trying to get a better life. If they're illegals, they should all be rounded up and sent back to where they came from the same way they got here - a forced march across the desert or in swimming the Rio Grande. We can do without their kind in this country.

Answer 5

Of course they are human beings, otherwise they couldn't commit the crime of breaking our immigration laws. I can't remember anyone getting into a tizzy about Monarch butterflies crossing our borders. If Mexico wasn't so corrupt, Mexicans wouldn't be dieing to steal across our borders. I would much rather live in England, but I don't just go there illegally and work in a bar because it is the wrong thing to do.

Answer 6

Yes, some folk here in the USA DO treat them like this. Why? Most of the time it is personal. The US citizen has come across others (illegals) who have caused them grief of some sort. And so, they retaliate in the manner they find most likely to cause grief to the other party.

Most of us are willing to help others learn to achieve legal citizenship, but this means that the illegals must be willing to learn. Many are not! They want to keep their own individuality and culture. And that is okay!

Were I (or you) to go to France, we would expect to learn enough of the language and culture to get by. Even if this means only being able to say "Sorry, I do not speak French. Do you speak English"?

Why should it be any different in the USA?

We, as US Citizens, welcome all people to our country. This is our way. We only ask that they respect our culture and laws. When this happens, we will respect their culture and ways as well.

IMHO,

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

i thoroughly trust you, yet that's the project: they often paintings "under the table" meaning they are being paid much less funds than an american citizen on an identical time as taking a job that's meant to be for U.S. electorate in basic terms. now once you recognize the concern of the U.S. monetary equipment is extremely undesirable, this would not in all probability help once you have people who're not paying taxes on any of the funds they make on an identical time as taking a job that's meant to be for a U.S. citizen. additionally, there is a few information exhibiting that some unlawful immigrants dedicate crimes to make a residing...however the comparable element happens with people; it in basic terms seems the unlawful immigrants technically are not meant to be here, so persons are going to have a topic with that. that's in fact the main significant subject...i do help unlawful immigrants coming and attempting to make a residing, yet i do comprehend why people could have problems with that

Answer 8

No we haven't forgotten (at least most of us)... I genuinely like most of the Mexican immigrants that I have met. We just don't have the natural resources to feed and house the entire world though, so many folks will have to make due with living in their own countries. Our population just reached 300million and land prices have gone insane... It is not that we don't want to help people improve their situations, but we have to bring them in in a controlled measured way so that we continue to be a country that most of the world admires as a great place to live.

Answer 9

Its not that people hate immigrants. It's how they get into the country. I mean, yes they are people but what about those who go about the LEGAL way of coming to this country? It is a kick in the face to them. If someone wants to come here, do it the RIGHT way like so many choose to do. I have NO pity on someone who gets caught coming here illegally.

Answer 10

They are ruining schools and health care in our border states by taking services like education and health care they should not be here to take. If you are a parent of a child or children in a ruined school, it is definitely 'something serious'.

Poor people do not make enough money to pay for education for their children or health care or other services that are subsidized for poor people in this country. That is why we have to limit how many can come. One or two we could overlook. However, 12 to 20 million is ruining our own children's future.

What right have they to do that?

Just like any other case of theft, their better life is at someone else's expense.

Answer 11

Yeah, and child molesters and murderers are human beings too. What about their rights, huh?

WE'RE NOT THE ONES WHO FORGOT THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS - THEIR GOVERNMENT DID.

Illegal immigrants may be human and have feelings, but this country needs to protect itself from this invasion - and if we have to turn down people who don't belong here in the first place, so be it.

I think illegal immigrants should be treated fairly, however, I think that they should show us some respect too - they don't belong here. They're lucky they're still alive.
