Is it true that most people that disagree with illegal immigration are racist?

Answer 1

Nope. Most of us are tired of paying for freeloaders housing, food and medical care. We are also tired of being forced to speak languages other than English just so everyone can enjoy the American way of life. Big difference.

Answer 2

No I don't think this is a case. Any country with an immigration problem encounters this. Much of it is about regardless if they lived here 20 years without any problems to us that represents reward anyone whom can accomplish that why should that be an entitlement..That's not how our laws are meant to be. But why when they can hardly afford to eat with a income so low it's their position to not bother with that-- but to bring even more kids into the world of which many cannot afford to properly take care of and this places a huge burden on the family and the country. This serves to bring about the same thing which brought Mexico down. Cooperate greed is no different from Mexico corruption. Racist is no issue the elite -- money is the root of all evil

Answer 3

So all people that are against illegal immigration are..........white? What "race" of people come to a certain country? We all do. There's nothing "racist" about wanting a controlled immigration policy. The ultimate goal here is to have lawful, decent people immigrating to another country. The receiving country should not be getting the losers, criminals, etc. If it's anything like the US, we have enough "home-grown" losers, we don't need any more!

Answer 4

No, because not all illegals are non-whites. And it's not possible, by definition, to be racist against an illegal act.
That said, some people are racist- on both sides of the issue.

Answer 5

No it is not true. I disagree with illegal immigration but I am not racist. My uncle is a white man that married a woman from mexico that was LEGAL and they have children. I love them very much. But i disagree with them coming in as illegals and taking our jobs. My father is a construction worker and is losing his job because of mexicans coming in illegally and working under the table. Also they really need to learn our language. The walmart in our town barely sells american products anymore just mexican products. its like we are being run out of our home and its not right! anyways so thus its not true that everyone that disagrees with it is racist

Answer 6

No that I cant agree. I think that if they were to make the effort to become legal they would find all the opportunities all american have. and i find another draw back if they take jobs away from peolpe in this country, my son cant find a job in his trade of construction and house building but when you look all around my town they are currently builing houses ,most of the workers are immigrants. You wonder if they are getting a short end of the stick not getting paid what is due them,no benefits for health care and in the long run we wind up paying for these things with our high taxes. I feel sorry for some they are treated as subhuman ,some peolpe take advantage of them dont pay them for working or undrepay, who do they turn too...its sad..our country is the land of opportunity and when given the chance to do it right all of those imigrants will do much better

Answer 7

If you are speaking of immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries, I can address your question.

As a teacher in a U.S. public school, I interact daily with Spanish-speaking students who declare they cannot speak or understand English; yet, every state public school system is required to accept these students into the classroom and I, and every other teacher, is held accountable for their progress; i.e., test scores, reflecting upon a state's educational status with the U.S. Education Department or their state's education department.

Many of these students are capable of speaking English. They choose not to because they do not want teachers to know they can. All are capable of learning English, but they will tell you English is too hard to learn. Spanish is the language their parents choose to speak at home; and, it is the language they want their children to speak.

As an American Indian, my ancestors were forbidden, even punished, if they spoke their native language. Why should I be amenable to a race of people who insist on preference to their language? If this makes me racist, then you bet your sweet "bippie" I am!

If anyone wants to live in an English-speaking nation, then learn English and converse in that language. Otherwise, go back to your own country!

Answer 8

no, i dont agree with it and i am in no way racist, if the person came legally i wouldnt care what race they are, and i am sure a lot of people who came here legally are against it because they when through the channels and did it properly, whereas those that come here illegally didnt, and think they are above the law, just because a person has not broken a law since they got here doesnt mean they are any better than those that have, they are just saying that if there is a law they dont like they wont follow it if they feel like it.

Answer 9

That is an assumption on your part, sir. What part of "illegal" don't you understand? People are opposed to murder because it is illegal. People are opposed to theft because it is illegal. In the same way people are opposed to foreigners sneaking into our country because it is, you guessed it, illegal. I am convinced that most Americans welcome immigrants into this country as long as it is done LEGALLY!!!!!
What is it about this fact that you don't understand? Why must you always play the race card when others disagree with your position? I think that is shallow and down right offensive.

Answer 10

Of course. Just as if one disagrees with anything is automatically called a racist. It is the only comeback liberals have. They are definitely limited. A large percent of them can trace this defect to genes. Which means Mommy and Daddy are brother and sister.

Answer 11

People that disagree with illegal immigration are not racists but only want to have order in the society.
