Why is it that the people who complain about illegal immigration are always white?

Question

And most say things like "Oh no I'm not a racist.." or "I have no problem with them if they are here legally..", but sometimes I wonder if deep down inside they just dislike immigrants of color and Hispanics in general regardless if they are legal or not.

Answer 1

i'm puerto rican and i don't like illegal immigrates because they are the new slaves of this country. i've seem them take out asbestos with there hands with no masks, they have no health care, they have no penisons, they are no people with no legal real life in this country so there used like throw away people thats why i don't like it.

Answer 2

You're wrong. I'm not even American. Read this:
I have answered this question before but I think it's worth repeating I'm copy-pasting it: Whoever broke the law by arranging fake marriages, SSN's or things like that should be punished somehow before receiving any kind of forgiveness. Be real though US cannot afford to be without legal or illegal Immigration. That said I'd add this: Immigration in the US today is a joke. Illegals have more rights than legal immigrants and visa holders. I lived in the US for 8 years, my whole family speak English fluently, I hold a PhD degree. However because my work visa could not be renewed and I couldn't find any loophole in the law, fake wife, or wanted to stay in the country illegally, I ended up having to leave the country my kids learned to love. We all felt at home up there (contrary to some who live in ghettos and only speak their native language) and respected the US law while the global scumbags that will probably get an amnesty in a near future will benefit from their law breaking strategies. They will find defenders who say "they work hard and pay taxes" so let me tell you all this: I did the same PLUS under the law and because of that people like me is being punished. This sucks! I'm now well adjusted back in my country but I know my kids wish they were still there. Maybe, who knows, they will go back someday but I'll make sure they take no passports, produce fake ID's and SSN's and don't forget to go in a makeshiftboat ride or cross a desert so they can be more successful.....

Answer 3

It is because they are breaking the law, if we fixed the law so that it gave the chance for some of those people to come here legally before they goo illegally then I would have a big problem with illegal immigration, but bc a lot can't really come here legally I don''t have a big problem with it

Answer 4

chinese were no longer unlawful immigrants. Please study the following: chinese people are people of chinese descent. chinese people characterize one crew of overseas places chinese and are a subgroup of Asian people. the first chinese immigrants arrived in 18c81e728d9d4c2f636f67f89cc14862c0 in accordance to U.S. authorities archives. Fewer than a million,000 arrived in the previous the 1848 California Gold Rush which drew the first major type of workers from China who done menial paintings for the gold prospectors. there have been c81e728d9d4c2f636f67f89cc14862c5,000 immigrants through 185c81e728d9d4c2f636f67f89cc14862c, and 100 and 5,465 through 1880, maximum of whom lived on the West Coast. lots of the early immigrants were youthful men with low tutorial stages from the Guangdong province.[2] chinese people were different early immigrants to stay in the U.S. yet then were banned from emigrating between 1885 and 1965 at the same time as the ban on Asian immigrants grow to be lifted through the Immigration Reform and administration Act.

Answer 5

UUmm...I am not white. You are generalizing whites, which is in of itself racist. Why are you overlooking the whites that support the pro side of the issue?

Search African American and illegal immigration or Blacks and Illegal Immigration, on Google. Black Americans have spoken out against illegal immigration.

Native Americans who live in the border states, and track illegals don't support illegal immigration. I don't live on my reservation (which is not in a border state), but I have a large piece of property near the border with my husband, and there is an invasion at my doorstep.

There are many Latino-Americans who are against illegal immigration. Why do illegal supporters conveniently forget about them when pulling their race card?

Illegal immigration is not a race issue. It's an American problem, and effects all Americans.

Answer 6

I don't think you are really reading the posts on here .There are many Hispanics that are opposed to illegal aliens.Its easier to think its only white people. But then people seem to think that ONLY white people are racists.That is simply a lie.I know people of all colors and place of origin that are vehemently opposed to any illegal aliens from any country .
On this forum I see just as many racists Hispanics as I see white.Both are well represented.You have no idea what people think "deep down" Perhaps its your own hate shinning thru?
People that hate ,on both sides of the issue,use this as an excuse to let their hate run free.BOTH SIDES.not just white.

Answer 7

I know a lot of hispanics who are here legally and they don't like the illegals streaming across the border either, The reason is because they entered the country the correct way and also became part of our culture which included learning our language. They do not appreciate illegals who exlploit our laws burden our society by taking advantage of social systems, and not bothering to learn english, and giving the legal immigrants a bad rep. Not to mention overcrowding the prisons and jails even more and tying up our legal system costing tax payers a lot of money prosecuting and imprisoning people who should not be here in the first place.

Answer 8

I am not a racist but I firmly believe that immigrants should be in this country legally. We have laws which Americans must obey. Why should Mexican illegals be any different and expect special disposition? I had to wait three years to get American clearance before I was able to come to America and live here. I became a citizen in less that a year. I pay taxes and obey the law. I vote on elections. I contribute each week toward social security and an IRA. I speak almost perfect English and will have a degree in physics from a top rated university in another 6 months. I obey every US law diligently. Why should Mexicans come here by sneaking into this country and receive medical and schooling treatment without having to pay for it? They are breaking US law and should be send back to Mexico pronto.

Answer 9

How do you know they're white? Most of the people here don't identify their ethnicity.

Many Mexican legal immigrants oppose the illegals, too. The illegals make the legals look bad.

We oppose illegal immigration from Europe, too, but they're not a big problem. Illegal immigrants number about 1 in every 30 people here. Only a small percentage are European. The Europeans don't want to claim 10% of our land mass, claiming it's theirs. They don't protest our government, waving their countries' flags. They're not trying to turn our country into another version of Europe. They adapt to our way of life. They learn English. They don't build tunnels under the border to smuggle in drugs make a profit off the destruction of our people. They don't bring in vanloads of marijuana, wave what appears to be a gun at the border guards, and then sue the border guards who try to stop them. They aren't clogging our courts and jails.

We didn't much care about the illegal Mexicans, either, until they became a problem. Nobody protested much in the '80's when Reagan gave them all amnesty.

Their ethnicity is not the problem. Their impact on our country is.

Answer 10

It would be a sad state of affairs if that were actually true.
Considering the many different cultures represented in America, it would be sad,very sad indeed, if the only people concerned about the devastating effect of illegal immigration on the United States of America were Caucasian.
If that were actually the case, then it would appear to me that we definitely need to tidy up our immigration policy perhaps by including race as a defining factor as entry into this great country of ours.

What are you nuts?

deport all illegal aliens (it's called trespassing in my neck of the woods we shoot trespassers)

That doesn't include the easily findable protests on youtube that includes whites and blacks in rallies. Interestingly enough - the only mention of race in the videos I've found came from Hispanic pro-illegal immigration activists who would yell things like "white boy" and say things like "Europeans are the ones who need to go back to Europe - this is our place." I have yet to find one of the videos of anti-illegal immigration activists (except for KKK or neo-nazi members) even mention the words "race," "white," or "Hispanic."
