why many americans want illegals aliens out when most of the americans came from an illegal background too?

Question

I have seen a lot on "yahoo answers" that many americans hate or want illegal inmigrants out, when probably themselves came from an illegal background too, at least they are natived americans or claim to be the ancestors from the first people who form the 13 colonies back in the 18th century . My great father came from England illegally to this country before world war II, looking for a better life . He said that even in those days the people who were allready here and who were also immigrants didn't have much sympathy for the new ones moving into this country. I guess people think they are real americans just because they were born here but is not fear, not to give the oportunity to the new ones who are looking for a better life. Many people suggest that only good and educated people should move to this country and not criminals,well if you guys study History you will find out that many criminals were sent to the Americas along with a lower class of Europeans and slaves.

I know many people will say..We don't want immigrants who break the law by coming illegaly to this country. I think is really hard to come with a green card to this country without living here first illegaly. If you are in South American do you think that will be easy to apply for a green card from there and say I want to work in the USA so please give a green card that's so stupid. Most of the inmigrants who moved to this country since long time ago came illegaly first and them became permanent residents and eventually USA citizens.This country was made by legal and illegal immigrants , so it is stupid to think we are the real ameicans because Iam the 3rd or 4rd generation. Also people claim that illegals came here to sell drugs and break the law like if in this country only loved and peace have been with us, Just check our Goverment ? Maybe he must be a new generation of immigrants thats why is so **** up..

I saw someone said that Mexicans have been coming to the USA since 15 millions ago. You need to study History. The Mexican republic became Mexico in 1810 so before that was just called the New spain. Poor Mexicans stared coming to this country probably in the late 60s before that was not an issue because borders were almost open to anyone who wanted to come and work in the Usa.
Rich people from Mexico and South America who came to this country illegaly were not even noticed .why? because they were white and rich.
I saw as well that people don't want illegals because they break the law,once againg IT IS ALMOST impossible to applied for a green card from an other country at least you plan to open a bussiness and even like that is not that easy. Ask your ancestors and see how the migrated to this country. If we would investigated and send back all the people who broke the law by coming illegally to this country regarless of race and color , I BET you that VERY FEW will remain in here

Sorry about the misspelling, I apologized about that. I wrote everything so fast that I realized about all the mistakes when the article was allready posted.,Althought English spelling is not the issue here.

I saw someone said that illegals are over populating this country. Dont worry my friend nobody lives forever and besides with our american diet not many people in the future generations will live longer than 50. Also who do you call Americans? whites? asians? blacks? mix? or just anyone who become legal USAcitizen regarless of race and color. Because when people say americans I don't know what race to put in my mind.

Some one said that illegal aliens don't want to americanized, well same as when some americans don't want to become Frenchized when they move to france and they want to keep eating burgers and not learn the lenguage because they say English is the only important language in the world. I have seen Americans who moved to south american and they never care to learn Spanish. Of course people who come to this country and they don't care to learn the lenguage and learn the customes, wont be much future for them because in any place you moved if you stuck with your own culture and lenguage will not be much opportunities as the for ones who are open to the new.but you know what ?we need of those people who don't care too much because if everyone who will come to this country or even people from this country will just care to succeed, who will clean your house,do your laundry,work in the field? do the dirty jobs? someone with a college degree I don't think so

You need to really study history and not just play the smart one. In the past many criminals were spelled from Europe and sent to america. Slaves were forced to came here too. Not anyone had the choice to move out from their native countries ,even today in many countries people can't just travel to whatever they feel like.You really need to open your eyes and know that is more than just the USA or better say your small vilage where your live.

flatline
Do you know that everyone who is from the americant continent is called american..
How come you speak five lenguages if you not even shypatized with people from other cultures except from yours and when you travel around the world how you said you do,you probably just go there to drink and go clubing instead of learning about other cultures.
You need to understand that this country was built by inmigrants who came here to look for a better life but if ignorants like you would have stopped inmigration since the last century this country would had not been, the first potency in the world, instead it would had been just another Cuba
A fact is that inmigrants would never stop coming at least you star kill them but even like that you wont stop inmigration, the only thing you will get from that is spend the rest of your life in jail or died in a gas chamber.

Flatline.-
you probably will live forever because you are worry about the population in 2050 and if that is so much your concern why don't you just go back to Canada where still it needs to be populated.
By how the world is running today with people having such unhealthy diet ,the lack of resources, global warning and not mention wars, I think this counrty wont be that overpopulated by the 2050 it probably wont even exist anymore. Worry about the present and try to live a peaceful life without having any hatred or stress because that will shorted your life. People waste to much energy like if life will last for ever.
You know that legal or Illegals,poor or rich will end up in the same place at the end of their life. "Dead end up with the vanities of this world"

Answer 1

i agree with you .but people don't look at it that way. they weren't laws and stuff when the first settlers arrived........ i bet the indians wouldn't have been so friendly if they would have known .......... oh_hell

Answer 2

You are right Mexicans have not been coming to the USA, you said, since 15 million years ego, they could not have, one of the reasons is that there was no Mexico or USA, in those days they where called Aztec's, Maya's, and Inca's and you Europeans still believe the world was flat. As far as why are the Mexicans the biggest group you called immigrants is because they are native American, they did not come from no where they where already here. Europeans came and conquer and kill but they are still here weather you like it or not this is their side of the world and the only immigrants are the rest of you.

Answer 3

The Mexicans are not flooding to a growing land in need of people to develop the resources. they are taking advantage of the fact that our country is one of the few with no real policy on illegals. If you go to Mexico and stay beyond the limit allowed for a visit you can be jailed and forcibly deported. Mexicans are coming here for the hand out. We should stop it. Our cities and economies are being destroyed by this flood of people with no real intentions of participating in the maintenance or construction of our society. Their just crapping up our country to throw aside as they've done in Mexico. If they want to build something we'll help them build there own country they don't need to come **** on ours.

Answer 4

You make a valid point,however times change, circumstances change and we must adapt with change.Im not for discrimination,and if someone has been convicted of a crime I feel they shuld be forgiven a second chance as people too change.They may've changed their life around,or maybe were falsely convicted which is not uncommon.As for not wanting imigrants in this country I would say to consider all things such as poulation exposion.Back in the day there was significantly less people whereas today we are absolutely desicrating our natural resources,and we can't keep allowing illeagal immigrnats forever until we run out of jobs and space it will lead to disaster and we must act responsibly,even if we ****** up in the past we have to do the best we can for today.

Answer 5

Because of the amount. The current rate of illegal entry has overwhelmed our infrastructure and deflated wages. Hospitals are closing emergency rooms, Police, Fire and Ambulance services are taking longer and longer to respond. Local and county governments are being choked with social requests and the courts and schools are jammed.

Illegal immigrants do pay some money in taxes but the impact upon the US infrastructures and economy is far more costly than any money received and it is devastating.

Let immigrants in, but slowly giving time to our cities and states to adjust.

Answer 6

Because the illegals I see everyday living in the border state of Arizona do not want a better life. They make no effort to assimilate. If our life is better why not become more Americanized?

They want to turn America into filthy Mexico.
When you drive by certain neighborhoods you can tell which ones are Mexican because they are so filthy and run down. These people come here (and trash the border costing us money on their way in) and then they commit crime here and have babies that are put on welfare who then have NO work ethic because they are raised to expect hand-outs.

They will work in abusive conditions for slave wages which ruins it for our own working class, because it takes away our position on demanding worker's rights.

Can you really justify making Americans lives worse so that foreign criminals can have a better one? I don't think so.

Answer 7

I totally agree with what you are saying. I wrote an article once from some stupid questions I saw on Yahoo answers. Everyone thinks Mexicans are all molesters, I asked questions why do people think this way? Americans, Chinese,all raices do crime thats because they have nothing better to do.I know illegals were here first. Its just people are ignorant and stupid , they have nothing better to write but pendejadas So GROW UP LITTLE KIDS and go play with something else!!!

Answer 8

I suspect that the vast majority of immigrants came through a place like Ellis Island. Hence .....they are legal.

People from Africa have to wait until they are cleared to come into the U.S. They wait for legal status.


Why are the Mexicans exempt from what everybody else has to comply with?
And we are talking about Mexicans since they seem to be the biggest group.
How many of them we got running around the country illegally...15 million?

Answer 9

Because everybody is a son of a big mother. I remember when USA did a law to send out all Philippines from the Country. Then, come Pearl Harbour attack and they need soldiers. So, they took off the new law and after that Philippines men were helping to form a force to fight in Asia. In one day 70 thousand Philippines men sword American flag.

Answer 10

Oh Mikey ,Mikey, Mikey , oh where do I begin? The bottom line is they are "Illegal" and there is a long waiting list of people trying to get "legal status" to enter this country, So, these "illegals" need to wait behind them. Didn't you learn in grammer school its not fair to cut in line, and if you got caught , didn't the make you go to the end of the line? It's as simple as that. And regarding "too hard or impossible to get a green card" Come on dude, don't you know " good things come to those who wait". Just because its to hard, your saying it makes it okay for them to forge documents & steal identities, get real dude.

Answer 11

I resent your statement that "most Americans came from an illegal background too." Statistics!!!!!!! Mine came from Europe LEGALLY. Those that came over to Ellis Island - LEGAL. Maybe yours were illegal but I highly doubt MOST were illegal.

I don't hate the illegal alien criminal. I hate the fact that they are doing something illegal, taking resources that they are not entitled to, take jobs away from Americans - I hate the action, not the person.
