Does tolerance to illegal immigration depend on ethnicity or country/state?

Question

Just for my own late-night curiosity.
If you can just sound off
1) if you do or do not oppose illegal immigration
2) your ethnic background plus if you yourself immigrated to this country
3) What state do you currently reside in

Ill go first.

1) I dont oppose illegal immigration.
2) I am a legal immigrant from Mexico
3) I currently work and live in California

I'm inquisitive, that's all.

I agree that the US has made the immigration process so daunting (and expensive) and I do believe it is to make would be legal immigrants into illegals. The US has always dependend on a slave class for its prosperity.

Answer 1

i dont oppose it
i am an illegal because my parents came a lonnnggg time ago
and im in maryland

Answer 2

I, I oppose illegal immigration from any country
2.I am a native born legal American
3,I live and own businesses in Arizona

While there may be a slave class in your country.We do not have a slave class in the USA.And this nations prosperity does not come from some unknown slave class.It comes from the hard work of the legal American tax payer. Like most nations we have some poor,some not so poor,a great middle group that are the back bone of this nation .And we have very wealthy people.But no one is a slave in this nation.You can reach as high as your dreams.Some succeed and some don't ,just as it is any where.But you have a greater chance at attaining your dreams here than any where else.Laws are made for the good of all people and they aren't to be disobeyed because you want a better life.Nothing is guaranteed.The USA doesn't owe the illegal alien anything except the right
to fair treatment when they are arrested and deported.
Can you selectively disobey laws in your country because they stop you from doing what you want to do? That's what criminals are made from .If its illegal then its a criminal act.Illegal is just that,if your support illegals then you too are a criminal.It is against the Federal laws to support ,assist,aid and abet an illegal alien for any reason.

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:

* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime.

Answer 3

Answered your last one, but I'll go again.
1) I oppose illegal immigration because it's ILLEGAL.
2) I am of German, British, Irish and Cherokee descent. My German, British, and Irish ancestors immigrated to the States LEGALLY, between 150-300 years ago.
My Native American ancestors were in the Trail of Tears. They were here before anyone else.
3) I currently live in Germany, but I've lived in Washington State, Oklahoma, California, and South Carolina. I was primarily raised in Washington, in a highly populated city (Tacoma, look it up!).

I respect those who come to our country legally. When they break the law, I have no respect for that.

Answer 4

- I am a legal European citizen. My parents are from Sudan Africa, and came to Europe sixteen years ago and i am born here.
- Lived in Germany, the Netherlands and currently living in the United Kingdom. Go to school and my parents have a job and are currently doing further education. I got relatives in the States. If America was so powerful, why would it allow illegals to just come in and become illegal? They should watch their borders better these days. America is expensive and only wants money, if you dont have anything to offer, they will of course, force you to be come illegal. I dont like illegals at all. They dont have respect for the country and they end up protesting against the government for high pay rise or anything, but they are illegal! They dont pay tax or anything at all and if they have to complain why dont they just go back to where they came from and come back legally? Have a nice day.

Answer 5

1) I do oppose ILLEGAL immigration...I've gotta follow rules, so does everyone else
2) I am a US citizen married to a legal european immigrant
3) I live and work in NC

For the record I'd like to add that the US has made the immigration process so daunting (I know first hand what a pain it is) that I believe they've encouraged illegal immigration...for many it's easier and far cheaper to border-jump or over stay a visa than to try and navigate the ridiculous mire of immigration law and filings.

Answer 9

For me, I was indifferent to them. Fiqures they came her eto work so hell with it. Then they started all their "demanding stuff" marches and such. Who the hell they think they are to do that. Then I checked and saw the overwhelming crime numbers and cost of them being here. I know a lot of people that thought like me and now that they acted all stupid and uppity we changed from tolerence to wanting to gun them down like vermin.
