Why do third world people want to go to White Lands?

Question

why not China Japan India ,or anyplace in Africa? South America?

Answer 1

Cause were the only civilized human beings.

Answer 2

First, what does that mean "White Lands?" How do you get that the States or England is a "White Land?" The States wouldn't exist as it does if it hadn't stolen the land from "Red" people. Secondly, most of the places you mentioned are third world countries. Why would they want to go from one bad situation to a worse one? From the very nature of your question, you show how people feel about immigrants, and yet you want these people who move because they have nothing and want to be able to survive, at least, to move to a place that is just as bad AND hates them for immigrating?! How much sense does that make?

China doesn't allow immigration and why would a person who is looking for a better life go to a communist country? Japan is so overcrowded that there isn't enough room for those who are already there, literally. I guess these people coming here really bother you because they compete for the jobs you do. I am not, nor do I need to be, threatened by them.

Answer 3

For food, safety & order.
China, India & Japan have no room for others to come into their countries. Africa IS a third world country & South America is run by dictators who would either kill them or let them die before they helped them, they could get that at home!

Answer 4

I am 'white', Irish to be exact and take offense to the term 'white land'. My grandparents were immigrants from Ireland due to the religious oppression and famine. I don't consider this 'white land'. I find it funny that white people are constantly being bashed on this particular board. Especially when the biggest minority in America is the middle-aged white female.

You have a good question that I too have wondered in the past. But your execution was offending. America does not equal white. There are many nationalities that make up this country. This is not White Lands, this is black, white, brown, yellow, red....you name it - and we are all here legally.

To answer your question though... And someone correct me if I am wrong (I am making the assumption that if this guy is saying 'white lands' then he must also be implying Mexico as the third world country) I don't think Mexico is third world. They are no Etheopia or Zimbabwe or Moscow during the cold war.

A friend of mine once told me an answer to this exact question... I asked him why America, if you were going to pay thousands of dollars to get help across the border (which he had, his town gathered money and sent 3 of them over). He said because it was the easiest country to 'disappear' in. They make way more money as an illegal (He lives in a rented 350K home, btw) and if caught can come right back, go to the same job, and just change their name. They don't really loose out. He said that per American law, they can not be mistreated when being deported so they are very safely taken back to the Mexican border where they go home, spend a couple weeks with their families and come back. This time not needing to spend the thousands because they know what path is safe to take here and now have an employer who will meet them and take them back home. He said it is a paid vacation to visit his family as far as he is concerned.
And yes, I had clarified with him, they do make more money - he makes $17/hr, non taxed, no med taken out - take your check after all your money is taken out and divide it by the hours you worked. You will be amazed... you don't make as much as you thought. He said that the immigrants who make $4 an hour are few an far between. Especially because Americans themselves scream racism and unfairness and so they get raises up to what they American counterparts in the same job are making. (They have the fair employment opportunities just like we do) A lot of them are moving to construction jobs which pay way more. They make the same as we do for the same jobs only without all the deductions. They have a sweet deal.

He said other than being inconvenient at times and a hassle when he has to turn around and come back... He would never become legal... he said it would be a rip off to him. Not only does he live well here, (brand new truck, nice 2400 sq ft house where his kids get education in their own language, his wife gets food stamps as she doesn't report that he is living here) he sends 500-1000 a month back home and his family lives like kings there on that kind of money.

So, pretty much, they come here because we have made it very easy to. LOL, When we first met and I asked him what he did for a living he said 'I work in immigration...' Later he clarified that HE was the immigrant.. that is his vocation.

Answer 5

That is not entirely true, anyplace safer and better economics works. I emmegated from Pennsylavania to Nevada for a better economy and I didn't take musch notice that there are LESS white people here. Several nations in Asia have huge immigration problems.

Answer 6

If you are referring to the USA then perhaps you need to take a look back at history. You seem a little confused. This land was Brown and Red land before White arrived. Then White brought Black over to work the land they stole from Brown & Red. We've always been a land of many colors. Just not all colors were treated in the best manner nor are they today.

Answer 7

China has immigration problems similar to the US. The other countries I know nothing about. Many people come to the United states because they think it is better than where they are living, and they are allowed to. Many other countries are much more strict about who can immigrate. Good luck to legally immigrating to Canada. For a chuckle, do a little research and see how many rich Americans, especially politicians, are moving to or buying property in Singapore and other Asian countries.

Answer 8

White Lands???? Have you been locked in a basement for the past 5 years! Everyone should be welcome, no matter what, and honestly,if you have a problem with other the so called white people being here, maybe you should move because hopefully someday this boarder crap will lighten up, and more people will be welcome here. And if you have a problem with that, then lock yourself back up in the basement and stay there until you can learn to deal with it. And for future reference, this is the land of the free, not land of the white.

Answer 9

China and Japan are really crowded, they have very strict immigration laws. And India, Africa or South America are all ****** up, i mean they're third world countries too.

Answer 10

what places are white lands? hope you aint referring to ka-na-da America south Africa new Zealand Australia, Fiji, Tuvalu, south America, and even Europe was black moors land before whites were around in europe.

Answer 11

i cannot answer your question, as it is faulty. third world people would, IMO, hardly give a sh*t what color is in America, or the UK, they want to go there because they see that they will have OPPORTUNITY. you know, "the land of opportunity?"

you can go from being homeless to being a millionaire here. that is powerful to people who have no opportunity in their own country. if i were in another country, i'd be doing my damnedest to get here, whatever my color and whatever my station.
