Why is such hatred and ignorance of race in America felt so deeply is so many unfortnat people?

Question

I can not understand why people view America in such a way that leads them to believe it should be one color or one religion. Take illegal immigration, typical resposes are that "the mexicans (of course) are take n' our country!" First, undocumented immigrants come from all parts of the world. The use of such horrible terms like "anchor babes", to think that some very unfortunate individuals actually believe that people concieve to come to america so that they may squat and have their newborn over asphault, fluids and all, is quite sad. NAFTA displaced over 1 million mexican citizens, the corporations profited and the american citizen was (as always) duped quite easily into blaming and hating Mexicans. The FACTis, that people from all parts of the world are here to make money for their families back home, who they sadly WISH they could be with. We as a nation create imbalance in the world, thus creating domestic strifes. Look at all sides without hate or "hate information". Blessings.

Answer 1

Yes, of course any information to the contrary is "hate information" and any opinion other than yours is hate or ignorance.

Answer 2

I havent read one forum on yahoo answers yet that says anything bad about any legal citizen that comes to America.Americans have taken care of Mexico and mexicans for so long that now mexicans think they want to take over our country,they take every advantage of our free resources and then push LaRaza in our faces and call us racist.The illegals in my town are disrespectful,most of them are in gangs.I know of Good mexican people as well,but they are legal here.And even they are against the illegals draining our economy,read the facts and that is your answer why Americans have had enough,The nation research council has estimated that the net fiscal cost of illegal immigration ranges from $11 billion to $22 billion a year ,with most government expenitures on immigrants comming from state and local coffers,while most taxes paid by immigrantsgo to the federal treasury.The net deficit is caused by a low level of tax payments of immigrants because they are disporportionally low skilled,thus earn low wages,and a high rate of government consumption services both because of their relative poverty and their higher fertility. The cost of illegals on terms of government expenditure for education,crimminal justice,and emergency medical care are significant ,And dont say illegals cant get it, its all over the news that they are identity theives too. Its not a matter of hate,its a matter of abbiding by the law.

Answer 3

Aside from what Dar said, I think it is a slap in the face to us citizens to have our border as porous as it is even after 9/11. Aside from a threat to the national security AND sovereignity to the United States. 80 percent of methamphetamine used in the United States is walked across our SOUTHERN border .


To be fair, some of the best "bud" in the country comes from Vancouver( gawd I wish I could still smoke dope!) but......BUT we are not being invaded by millions of illegal Canadians marching in our streets with the Canadian flag, demanding RIGHTS!

Bottom line, why not take care of our OWN before we take care of some crook that invaded our country?

Answer 4

"Hate", is only for those who ABUSE the privilege of being in our country!! America was built on immigrants!! We don't hate Mexicans...we hate the fact that certain people enter the country illegally, then have the nerve to complain about their rights?!?? Rights as an American citizen are earned....Not given just because you sneak in and breed.

Answer 5

at the same time as he made the truth about fifty seven states, I gave him a bypass. the guy must be completely exhausted. i'm particular he's unsleeping of how many states there are. As for his remark about Kentucky being in the route of Hillary's state of Arkansas, and under no circumstances seeming to attraction to close that Kentucky boarders the state of Illinois...nicely, he's from Chicago. maximum individuals in Chicago do not even comprehend there's a large inhabitants of voters south of Springfield, IL.

Answer 6

Illegal immigrants ruin our schools by stealing education for their children from the funds in place to educate our children.

I couldn't care less what color or religion they are. They shouldn't be here. You don't like NAFTA? Fine. Repeal it. It doesn't help me a whit and illegal immigration hurts our schools. You act as if we are responsible for NAFTA but Mexico voted it in as much as our government did.

That doesn't make it ok to steal.

Sin7, you are educated and witty, but that doesn't make you right. Education may be a 'concept' in the abstract but in human development terms, it costs money and we are the ones paying for it. They shouldn't be able to take the money we pay for our children's education for their own children. That is stealing as much as if they hacked a brockerage college fund account. Or would that still be a 'concept' to you?

I look forward to any answer you may have because intelligence is refreshing, but I suspect you and I will never agree on this topic.

Answer 7

The USA is made up of people from all races, nationalities and cultures, including Latino. It is not 'racist' to want our borders closed and our laws on illegal immigration enforced. It IS "RACIST" to demand people of ONE race, Latino, should get preferential treatment when it comes to obeying the laws of the United States of America. NO other race, culture or nationality expects to have laws waived for THEM. How presumptuous and arrogant to think you are above our laws!!! Even the citizens of our country must follow our laws and abide by them or suffer punishment (financially through fines and/or incarceration)

Illegal immigrants broke our laws. They should be heavily fined and/or imprisoned and then after serving time, DEPORTED!!

Answer 8

I find it ridiculous that someone said that rights in America are earned. What kind of fascist non-sense is that? I guess you had a lot of illegals in your school stealing your education. If I was you, I would feel cheated too. They took all the good stuff, like common sense.

American is based on the ideal that all men are created equal and have God given rights. Also, education is a concept and it cannot be stolen.

Life makes everything so simple. Either you are born with the capacity to learn and thrive or you can feel sorry for yourself and ***** about it here on Yahoo Answers. So fair warning, work hard or be replaced.

Answer 9

I totally agree. Although i'm pro-boarder enforement, it's appaling that people can be so blatently racist. I mean, i've found so many slurs in this forum that it's not funny, and the sad thing is that people who convolute the issue of immigration with race are the ones who are making it so complicated. I think it's unfair to hispanics to profile them as being ignorant aliens who are "takin' are jerbs". A lot of them, even the illegal ones are hardworking people, who are trying to provide for their families. We need to stop looking at our differences as people, and embrace our similarities as a human race in order to truly live together in harmony.

Answer 10

It should not be all one race. Unto each their own.
