Because some people are just hateful bigots. That's just how they are. There is a group of people who go through hell and risk their lives trying to get into America so that they can work their asses off doing things that you and I wouldn't dream of doing for wages you and I could barely live on, so that they can give their families back home a chance at not being so damned impoverished. Sure, there are bad apples, and controlling immigration is our problem, but for the most part, I think that they have a hell of a lot more to offer society than the idiots who spew their stupid right wing hate speech on these forums.

Well, think about the hateful and disrespectful attitudes of primarily Hispanic illegal immigrants. When you don't respect our laws and our rules, then how can you expect us to be respectful of you? You probably don't like the word, "Alien", but if you will look at the US Law, that is the term for immigrants -- Aliens! We citizens didn't label illegal immigrants or immigrants as Aliens -- the law did! Illegal is a term used for all lawbreakers -- an illegal act. Tell me how someone committing an illegal act deserves respect. If you want to be treated differently, then learn the language. Learn our culture. Don't separate yourselves from ordinary citizens. Obey the Law and don't try to turn the terminology used in our language into something it isn't. If you would learn English, you would understand that many of our words have more than one meaning and those meanings are not necessarily disrespectful. Do you think it's okay to call white people Gringo? Have you considered how offensive Hispanics are when they deliberately speak Spanish in public places and when they march and demand benefits that they are not entitled to? No apologies from this side of the fence.
We don't like people who use us, take advantage of our good nature and our willingness to help others, and who break our laws and then demand special dispensation to continue breaking the law while American Citizens are paying the price.

i think of it could have been plenty distinctive if it have been any different way around. If hispanics had crushed up a white male, they might have served greater time in detention center if no longer sentenced for existence. i come across that certainly terrible. a guy's existence ended and kin are left heartbroken via harsh acts of four white men, yet they actually get any punishment for it. unhappy. A existence is a existence. it is not proper what race a guy or woman may well be, their existence isn't much less effective than yet another. a minimum of, that's how that's in my eyes. it rather is unlucky that race remains a large subject in society. interior the top, we are all human.

I don't think people think they are lower humans. Right now a lot of Americans don't like tax dollar services being used by ILLEGAL immigrants, not immigrants. So they're frustrated and say things disrespectful.

They have been taught that anyone different from them is inherently evil, and subhuman.
That is how they are able to ignore the plight of migrant workers, and the way people in this country continue to do business with hispanic countries whose corrupt leaders oppress their people.
It's a lot easier to ignore the guy who is willing to travel hundreds of miles just to pick fruit for a few cents an hour to send money back to his family if you don't think of him as human.
It's the same way the nazis created so much hatred for the jews.

It's not just one group singled out, the religion one has more hatred and intolerance than any I've seen. If people were face to face, I doubt they'd be so brave. I wish no one could participate in this unless they were accountable for their answers in some way other than thumbs up and down or report.

Some of us who are not in favor of illegal immigration or amnesty for those who are here. Do not see them as less then human. You have the idiots who like to say stupid things to get a rise out of people.

I assume you are referring to the ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS? They aren't "less than human!" However they are criminals for breaking our laws and should be deported! They don't belong here. This has nothing to do with race - you brought up the race issue.
We don't want them here and WE DON'T NEED THEM! (Proof: May 1, 2006 - "A day without an immigrant" protest was suppose to cripple our country. All it did was prove that we don't need them and we get along better without them!
Illegal aliens bring in disease. They steal jobs and identities. They destroy our schools and health care system. They sponge off the tax payer. THEY DON'T PAY TAXES!
What is so "hateful and disrespectful" about people wanting someone to obey the law? NOTHING! WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!

Though I'm sure there are a few real racists out there (here), most are just people who think the shock value of such comments is fun.

We don't see them as less than human. That is why we want them to go through the legal channels like all the honest people do.
