Why do hispanics think that its not fair because we dont legalize immigration for the illegals already here?

Question

First of all, the mexicans who come into this country are usually illegal immigrants. Notice the word "illegal". We all were immigrants at some point or had great great families that were immigrants but we came into the u.s. LEGALLY. some of us were brought into this country because we had no choice because of war and slaughtering of millions of people. So why does the hispanic community always use that saying.. that we all were immigrants too so why not give us a chance? well yeah we would if you would wait in line like the rest of the world is and do it legally and actually try to learn english and adapt to our culture. If you can picture a scene where we are at the movie theatres and the theatres represent the u.s and you see a crowd of people waiting in line to go watch it.. (them being immigrants waiting in line legally), and then you see hispanics cutting in line and making it even harder for immigrants to get in. Then when they finally get to the front they are denied.

Answer 1

Back in1986 we granted them amnesty.
The plan was it was supposed to stop the inflow of illegals.
The reality was more came, hoping for eventual amnesty, rather than to apply legally.
They are now whining because they did not get it.
They have no entitlements here.
Fairness is to grant those entitlements only to those who come here legally.

Answer 2

Do you know any hispanics, or any that have entered illegally? I happen to know many that have entered illegally and since then have paid taxes, they work hard, they spend their money in the US, they have learned english and our laws. Our government is ridiculous, it costs an illegal immigrant from certain areas around $5000 to get into the US, I'm sure they would gladly pay the US that money instead of risking their lives to have shady individuals sneak them in.

I know there are certain hispanics who only want to come here for a year or so , send money home to their families then leave - they should be sent back, they don't want to learn our language, follow our rules or anything; then they should just stay in their country and try to make the best of it.

A majority of the illegal hispanics who think it's not fair just want a chance at a better life - we are fortunate to have been born here they weren't, it doesn't make them bad. What if it were reverse, and living here sucked and you only made $10 a day, wouldn't you want to get out - yes you would.

Answer 3

Sorry to mess up your head with facts - Wolf - but we take in over 2 million legal immigrants a year - which is more than all other countries combined. Maybe you want to live in a third world country with a billion people, 5 dollar an hour jobs, and no decent food or enough water - oh wait we already are...

Answer 4

how convivient for the you that came "legally" ok now lets not let the rest come in...how fair is that; these laws are made just to convinient the people who r better of. these "illegals" tried coming here legaly, but this money hungry system doesnt think theyre worthy, where's the fairness? Why does the rest of the world get priority b4 hispanics, ever though of that, people only see what they want. If you were in such a bad situation b4 and they told you "too bad youre not welcomed here, go kick rocks" I know theres a problem but y dont they let only a certain # of immigrants enter here from EVERYWHERE and not just a few places??? just cause u had it easy doesnt mean the rest get the same treatment

Answer 5

I Agree with you. Both my parents came to the U.S Legally!!! (oops My Bad) 20 years ago. and i know they have worked really hard for what they are now U.S Citizens, I agree that all illegals here should wait in line, and learn how to speak english, But there are some who just come here to work and send money back to their own people. and they refuse to be a part of the U.S and they just abuse the laws here. And thats what the people already know. the Gov isnt stupid at all. and the fact that some people who come to the U.S dont know how to respect the people here is one of the main reasons why they wont give them Amnesty. And Believe Mexicans only stand up for their own kind. They dont care about the other people. Life is tough and their going to have to face it. They cant have it easy here.

Answer 6

I REALLY don't know. The LEGAL immigrants can sponser anyone in their family (moms, dads, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) to get citizenship, and the illegals slow down that process for the legal citizens. I think the whole process is miscommunicated and that everyone needs to learn ENGLISH and they would know all of this.

Answer 7

I don't know why they believe it's not fair.
I am in completely agreement with you. If someone wants to live in the United States then they must do it legally. It works the same way if I wanted to go live in Mexico I must do it legally...and I must point out I would have a much harder time trying to legally get into Mexico and other countries than people have becoming citizens here.

Answer 8

I don't like how you can assume "illegal" immigration is only about Mexicans.

I also don't like how you can assume all and only Hispanics are FOR "illegal" immigration. Supporters of these immigrants can Be Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, and White people. And anti-illegals can be Hispanics too. SO don't go saying all this ignorance and make yourself seem not really knowledgeable on this topic.

Answer 9

Good question AZN, the reasons for their sense of entitlement is that we have never enforced our laws, while out of touch liberal elitist and continued to give these criminal trespassers handouts and entitlement benefits regardless of the legality of their status. The entire situation is appalling.

Also concerning Cosmo’s brainy answer:
Cosmo, do you find it personally stimulating to state moronic nonsense answers, in an attempt to justify your feeling that trespassing is not a crime?.
Please type messages for yourself and keep them to yourself, rather than waste our time with your lunacy.

Answer 10

I agree, other legal immigrants should be outraged and fight. The mexicans think the asians are on their side, as well as other hispanics. Let them know we are NOT on their side!
To answer your question, they think its not fair because its their own people and they are only out to make it easier for their own people. they say fck the other races in America.
