Confused about immigration opinions?

Question

What do people oppose, illegal immigration or south of the border immigration, be it legal or illegal. Sometimes when I read the responses, they are outright racist. Is it the fear/hate that someday they we will live next door to you, go to school with you, and eventually join you for family reunions?

Here's an example of a typical racist reply.
Unfortunately, they are all too common on this forum.

Dream on buddy, Mexico mistreated people under its filthy corrupt rule in the past and still does today.... GET your worthless azz back to Mexico and fight to fix your toilet of a country... Mexico is a toilet... it is broken.... it is overflowing.... and what flows out of that toilet? ILLEGAL ALIENS..... that is what.

Answer 1

Some people are racist, and oppose immigration PERIOD. That is wrong.
I myself do not oppose immigration, unless it's illegal.
I dated a Hispanic man once (casually), and several of my best friends over the years have been Hispanic. I'm not racist in the slightest.

Answer 2

Um, probably because of that first word, 'illegal'. If you still have one of those dictionary things at your school, look up the word 'illegal' sometime...here, I'll even help you resource the question online...here's what the IRS has to say about it:
"Illegal Alien
Also known as an "Undocumented Alien," is an alien who has entered the United States illegally and is deportable if apprehended, or an alien who entered the United States legally but who has fallen "out of status" and is deportable."

I hope that helps with your 'confusion'! LOL

I shudder to think that you graduated from an american school...kind of doesn't say much for the place...once you get to that level, in theory you should be able to write one of them there thesis thing-jobbers on a topic such as immigration...

Why don't you REALLY illustrate your brilliance and ask a question like, 'want to read 3 things I learned about illegal immigration'? Something along those lines....please DO 'educate' us! ROTF

Answer 3

Illegal immigration is not about race,its about the harm done to my city and my state.The influx of illegal aliens is a crime.I have no fear of anyone much less an illegal alien.My friends and neighbors are from many nationalities and heritages.We are friends ,we entertain in each others homes,we attend fund raisers,home owners association meetings and club functions together.
My friends and neighbors are legal,from Mexico,hes a doctor,shes a business owner,another couple own a automobile dealership,China,shes an attorney and hes an investment banker,I could go on and on .But its certainly not fear of integration.That's a very weak argument.
And as for the racists insults,they abound on here from both the pro and anti factions.Don't think they only come from the anti side.Some of the insults are very nasty and vulgar on both sides.But you have those people in all walks f life.To be fair why didn't you post the ."I hate white people,rednecks,poor white trailer trash,cracker hillbilly" posts that are on here too.

i think that if somebody desires to be right here they should do it legally. while human beings come right here illegally and artwork they take jobs from electorate and that they harm the salary scale. which ability they're keen to artwork for much less money and are frequently no longer experienced. so which you wind up getting inferior products. Your dad's opinion is amazingly hypocritical. Borders on the same time as that's a great thought won't one hundred% artwork. they are going to discover different extra risky (for themselves) the thank you to get in. Deportation is the only smart way. in the event that they arrive back illegally than they serve penitentiary time in a penitentiary for illegals in easy terms and their usa ought to ought to foot the bill for his or her lodging. If somebody turns themselves in then consistent with hazard have them pay a stiff effective, returned taxes, community provider, etc... while they have paid their money owed enable them to develop right into a citizen on probation. in the event that they get into any worry they should bypass away the country. on your remark approximately if a new child is born right here and the mothers and dads are illegals. If the new child is in a position to stay who will preserve it if the new child is a minor. If the new child is going into the gadget, which from my awareness is undesirable, would not that injury the new child? We already ought to many infants interior the welfare gadget as that's. The tax payers faster or later are going to lose interest of footing each and every of the charges for somebody else's strikes and options. so a techniques as ignorant and racist solutions, once you come back to this communicate board you will get trolls. No way around it. some human beings have no manners. sturdy success inclusive of your papers. P.S. all and sundry asserting this usa became outfitted by way of immigrants desires to realize that this land already had human beings right here and that they the place doing merely effective until the immigrants confirmed up. hear of the yank Indian.

Answer 5

I have no problem with someone who goes through the procedure to come into the U.S. that is a legal entry . But what concerns me is to see so many come into the U.S. who want to make a change to my country and there here illegal . If they want a change they should start to make a change in there own country if they dont like the way it is governd . But I guess they know that as a minority in the U.S, they have more rights than the people who are born here live here and die protecting it .

Answer 6

I oppose ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, for the fact that it is ILLEGAL. Have we forgot what ILLEGAL means?

I don't care what a persons color, religion or what ever. Just come here legally.

From my observation the Liberals and Democrats have the hardest time defining the word illegal, just as Clinton could not define the word "is". Does this mean that Republicans and Conservatives are better educated?
