Answer 1

They're not going to pick fruit, and they have said that they would do it for "12 dollars an hour". 12 AN HOUR, do they have any idea what that would do to the prices of food?! They are so caught up in their ignorant hatred of "illegals" that they completely ignore the real problem, which is their corrupt government that is basically just a subsidy of the giant corporations. They seem to forget how after NAFTA, people started rushing over here in large numbers. Why? BECAUSE CONDITIONS FOR THE POOR IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES WORSENED WITH NAFTA!!!!!

Answer 2

Honey, you need to take a drive up here to good ol' Wisconsin. There aren't many - if any - illegal immigrants out in the fields picking rocks, weeding the gin seng, bailing hay and milking the cows. You know who does the work? The farmers, their families, and farm hands that are hired by the farmers legally. And here in Wisconsin, we produce a lot of milk, gin seng, corn, beans, potatoes, and other large crops that is used in this country.

You honestly think the agriculture industry will collapse with the deportation of all illegal immigrants in this country? Now who's living in a dream world?

There is racism - no doubt about that. But I do think you need to separate the racists from those of us that are just against illegal immigration. I have friends of all different colors, nationalities, sexes, sexual orientation, and the like. I try to live my life the way I would like everyone to - open and honest. I don't like, and become rather offended when one calls me a racist simply due to my political views. Not everything is a matter of race - some of the issues are a matter of law - plain and simple.

Answer 3

First illegal immigrants in California are rejecting farm labor jobs paying more than $10 an hour. $12 an hour is not out of the question. THe main reason why people hire illegal immigrants is not how much they pay them but to reduce the chance of being sued, and not paying into benefits like workers comp.

There are racist on both sides. It probably starts like this. Racist on the anti sides make a racist attack on the hispanics. Racist Hispanics jealous of others good fortune stirs the pot and attack Americans. Americans get angry over the racist attack of the illegal immigrants and retaliate. Its a cycle. If you keep your eyes open and watch this site, racism goes both ways. I found alot of people on the por side are blinded by their one sided views and refuse to see the dual nature of racism. The racism sides from the illegal immigrant side is probably multi tiered. Resentment from Light skinned Mexicans who control Mexico, Jealousy of Caucasians and AMerican making more money than Mexico, and retaliation over racist individual. It is not an excuse for Those hispanics to attack others, but an explanation. even if these hispanics are subjected to racism it does not negate their duty to not be racist. THeir racist act hurt innocent bystandards as well. two wrongs don't make a right.

I aklso agree with the others. It is racist for you to take one side and not recognize racism from both sides of the table.

Answer 4

I suppose you would tell me I am a racist because I am strongly opposed to all who illegally enter this country. There is a real possibility that you are confusing a person's dislike of an illegal act with what a person may feels or think about someone of another race. Like you, I've seen the questions and answers on these pages, but so far I haven't seen a single one that indicates the ask-er (or answerer) has any other concern than that illegal part I mentioned above. ...And why do you not capitalize the word "Hispanics?" Are you a racist?

Answer 5

I think there may be some fear of people because they don 't know anything about them so they( our people) make statements that can be interpreted in many ways. We have to control immigration legal or illegal. Here in the San Francisco bay area there are illegal people from Europe, Latin America, Asia, etc. You may be surprised or maybe not, but I am when I see the whole world marching by my window.,where as before you would have to travel several thousands of miles to see. But on the other hand I 'm not a native American so I can't be intolerant. I mention native Americans because I lost a buddy ,who is a Vet like me, not to long ago and he would end most arguments by saying to me " well, I wish all of you people had stayed where you came from".oh yes, accept for the women. He liked red heads!

Answer 6

Oh, here comes the racism finger getting pointed again. Do you know why a lot of you here in the immigration section scream racism? Because that's the best and only argument you have. Opposing illegal immigration does not constitute racism. Copy that last sentence, have it tattooed to your forehead and don't forget it.

Answer 7

by utilising hispanics you advise south people? .. maximum individuals make relaxing of them yet no longer the carribean ones (cuba,dominican republic,puerto rico) i by no ability fairly considered that a lot racism for hispanics... i considered more beneficial for black people.

Answer 8

I have no problem with Mexicans. I've had several Mexican friends and I'd die for any one of them but I don't like the illegals and neither does my Mexican friends. They know that the illegals are wanting but they don't have the desire to make something for themselves.

If they really wanted rights and money in Mexico, then they need to fight the Mexican government for it just like we did here in the US.

Answer 9

Its nothing new.....The first immigrants were also hated, the Irish, Italian and Jews were also hated by the people living here at the time...Then there was the Chinese, then the Japanese, then Mexicans...Don't forget the Germans who fled during the Nazi Regime....Also the Viennese were hated too....We have a chronic history of hating foreigners...Some people just fear someone who is different....Its just ignorance

Answer 10

you assume because a lot of people are against illegal immigration that they are racist. well i am against illegal immigration. and oooh wow guess what my husband is too. and he is a Latino born and raised here in the u.s and his parents legally migrated here to the u.s. so just because someone is against illegals immigration doesn't make you racist.

now think about this. how many illegal immigrants are in the united states? 12-20 million? how many of them are of a certain country? why is that? could it be that it is easier for that certain country to cross the border then it would be for someone from over seas? ya think!!! well dear there you are. people are mostly just addressing the real problem. there is a country (Mexico) that is joined with us. thus making is tremendously easier to cross. so we address that. yes there are illegals from different countries. and we clump that in with the rest of the illegals but there is a growing amount of a people from Mexico who think its ok to just simply cross the border. and that is also very wrong.

Answer 11

I have picked fruit before
I met alot of good people which were hispanic

Ive searched for any excuse for them being here illegally and cant find one logical reason.
I get punished if I break the law, so I follow them
They should too

The real racist are the people that take advantage of them for the low wages they will take and the people that take advantage of the American taxpayer for the burden the Illegals impose
Another racist group are the politicians who are looking at this from a "How many votes will I get" POV

Well I cant really call them racist either ...more like con artists or theives
