Why do illegals and their supporters call us racist?

Question

How are we being racist? what's wrong with enforcing the laws? what other argument do they have?

Answer 1

The definition of racist has changed to; someone who refuses to give you a free ride.

Answer 2

Because most of the 'ship em all back' crowd tends to use the words 'illegal immigrant' and 'Mexican' interchangeably. The vast majority of Americans wouldn't care in the slightest about illegals from Canada or any of the European countries. We just have a strong stereotype against those south of the Border. If you look back on many of the questions posted here by those who are highly incensed against illegals, you'll find that most of them insinuate that all immigrants from Mexico are uneducated and unskilled workers. Mexico still has a lot of growing to do as a nation, but that doesn't mean that all of its people are uneducated vagrants. Mexican directors have even started to make a splash in Hollywood.

I don't agree with having completely uncontrolled illegals here. I do believe we need immigration reform. I also think we need stiffer penalties for illegal employers who enable illegals to begin with. I just think it would be prudent for us to quit making enemies. If there were no jobs, they would just go home.

Answer 3

Because, like Liberals everywhere, they do not bother to learn the language. They can't claim racism since Mexicans are as white as Americans.
Actually, of course, there is only one RACE; the HUMAN race.
They do not have an "argument", for "argue" means trying to prove or disprove a thing, and they have no facts to support their bellyaching.
They are just like all those career welfare people...
There is nothing wrong with enforcing laws; however, it is not "politically correct", thanks to Liberals.

Answer 4

Yeah, I heard this one already. If you have not noticed when you answer other questions on Yahoo Answer, you would see what we are talking about. You know, those people who use "wet backs," Mexicans rape and killed people."

I know you are not going to admit what you have read from your fellow anti-illegals, so there is your answer, that' why we call most anti-illegals racist because you guys seem to support these racists.

And I do understand your position on wanting to enforce the laws, but that's not the reason most of you guys are considered racists.

Answer 5

It is a name that they think will shut us up. In the past the word "racist" has gotten fortunes for many. It has instilled fear in the most powerful and even caused certian people to lie in the Capitol building in a coffin like they were a American hero.

Answer 6

What illegals are you referring to? The Latin Americans? Canadians? The South Korean prostitutes? The Russians? Seriously ICE raider, who are you talking about? As if your family came here in some privately owned ship not fleeing there original Country but leaving because they were noble or some ****. Chances are your family illegally emigrated (and yes It's spelled right) here also. Maybe your Great Great Grand daddy won a hand of poker and Great Great Grandma gave the Captain some head. Who know how it happened but I guarantee your not from some noble descent. If you were your ancestors wouldn't of left there noble life. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Your name was one hated just as much. Think about it before you say something ignorant again.

Answer 7

Because it's the only argument they can come up with. But they refuse to acknowledge that a very large chunk of the Hispanic and Black population are also opposed to illegal immigration.

-about 50% of legal Mexicans & haven't found a number for African-Americans yet.

Answer 8

Because they have been told that Americans will respond to accusations of racism.
What they don't realize is that we don't believe them, they cry wolf.
It's just a childish tactic they employ when they don't have a logical argument to support why they are pro-crime.

Answer 9

Page One of the Pro Illegal Manual:

When logic and fact go against what you want, call the other person a racist. The race card is your ace in the hole.
