why hate successful, law-biding people?

Question

why does everyone hate someone who does well for themselves? it's just plain old jealousy or envy. should someone feel guilty for working hard and making it...thats the american dream, right? well, why do illegals get hot under the collar re: successful americans? it's none of their business what americans do. i don't owe an illegal a thing

Answer 1

You're right, you owe illegals nothing. They have no rights within our society and I'm not sure why they think that they should have them. I wish that they had the to courage to fight for reforms in their own countries. Yes, people die to bring about change but that's what our country did and is still doing to maintain a free society. I resent paying taxes for their healthcare, education, housing, and food. Why would any American want to help a border crosser who thinks that we owe them a safe life without doing anything to earn that. And not just the Latinos what about the pilots we trained that tried to destroy our way of life? Why do offer education to the very people who hate us? No more educational visas, let one of our citizens have that scholarship to better our country. I have so many things that I'd like to see our government take a bolder stand on that the list is endless. We're so worried about being politically correct that we are losing our courage of conviction due to these illegals. I definitely say, deport them, deport them now before their people have a stronger foothold in our country and manage to drag us down to a third world economy. Americans wake up and vote on all issues and make sure your representatives reflect the views of the American people that they are paid to represent!!!!

Answer 2

I support Second Amendment Rights. I believe Responsible Citizens should be able to Bear Arms. The irresponsible must be held liable for any harm they cause. No individual citizen should possess a weapon of mass destruction. Since the Special Environment involve in using a gun inside of a airplane converts the use of a gun to a situation where the discharge of a standard bullet inside the airplane can make the gun a weapon of mass destruction, the use on an airplane must not be allowed. Even Air Martials have special bullets to prevent the explosive decompression of the aircraft. A parallel to this Special Situation can not be applied to other standard uses of guns.

Answer 3

I agree that it's jealousy, but it's not just the illegals who are jealous of anyone who is successful. There is a whole mindset in this country by a lot of people that those who are 'rich' OWE those who are not. I don't get it.

Answer 5

Why say Law-biding????????????
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. America love it or leave it. Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Leave it Now. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

Answer 9

Answer 10

Who hates who here?

I don't particularly admire those who grind others into the ground to pave their own way.

Be successful be all means, but don't step on people to get there. If you do, then don't be surprised if they bite back one day.

Hilarious!!! I get 2 thumbs down for suggesting we should treat others they way we'd like to be treated ourselves. Mentalists.
