Why are all Anti-illegals looked as anti Mexican or worst raciest.?

Question

I try this a third time, quit twisting my words around and answer the question with maturely. My question is this, why is it that people who dont want illegals in this country are hated on by pro-illegals and are called raciest because of their views. Nothing about our views are raciest but all we want is for them to be come legal and qute stealing from our americans hard earned money. They dont pay taxes and feel they have a right to a country, they have not payed a single legal dime to be here. If they dont get their way they cry to the ACLU and sue the very same people they steal taxes from. It makes me mad becase those who have fought to become legal dont have the respect they deserve becase they have work with the system here and other dont. People make the argument that they do jobs that we wont,well if owners would pay the correct wage for US workers to do the job and do the right thing. Any person looking for a job to support their family will do the work. PERIOD

Sorry for my bad grammer and spelling trying to complete this before i go for my guard duty shift in 10 mins.As to the first poster i do pay taxes like everyone else does and the only tax break we get is on post,and if you knew anything about millitary we are far from paid well and we only save 10 cent her and there and never helps in the first place.

Answer 1

i think the major issues are amnesty and free medical,
and lower tuition and other benefits that are just going to be handed to them.

why not just wipe everyones slate clean and start over fresh?!

drug dealers, kidnappers, child support deadbeats, and all sorts of other offenses that american citizens are filling our jails for!!!

as for the race issue, thats just an easy copout for the ignorant peaple who stereotype and to the ones who dont have the intelligence to state their case and back up their words!!!

american peaple are struggling to get proper medical care and get a break in college tuituions, and higher taxes!!!

why should anyone get a get out of jail, free ride card, wich will be according to race!!!

let the construction companies, beefpacking plants,
landscapers, roofers, agriculture, pay a decent wage, if they cant afford it they should get into another less expensive bussiness or get a job!!!

its not a race thing, its ,a greedy corporate run american
politics thing, grow up everyone and open your eyes and ears!!!

plus evertime they pop a kid out americans are getting hit in the pocket again!!!

the black americans used , and still do the race issue over and over again, now its accepted policy that if they want to be a pimp, or a drug dealer, prostitute, on welfare and driving a lexus or other highend vehicle, but hey its "cool" ya dont want tro stir up that race card issue!!!

why dont they force their own country to pay better wages, give free medical care, give better benefits,, debate with their homeland leaders to get more?!!!

if their leaders are corrupt force them out of office or gather their followers together and change their policies like we do?!!

the way things are now they have two countrys to claim access to!!!

also when i watch that show on cable calle"dirty jobs" i dont see a majority of mexicans or blacks that are the ones doing them!!!

so go figure!!!

Answer 2

Most people who rag on immigrants - rag on Mexicans....as if Mexicans are the only ones who hop the border or enter this country illegally.

Even though you claim you are not racist, this current question contains the following MISINFORMATION which makes you come across as not only racist but terribly misinformed:

1. "They" are stealing from our Americans hard earned money.

You are inferring that somehow they are taking money from hardworking people by stealing it. You don't clarify your opinion, you don't provide any resource for your information. You are just blathering on repeating what you have heard. You have no basis for this statement.

2."They" don't pay taxes.

Well, they do. Everyone in the United States who gets a paycheck has payroll taxes deducted from it. Everyone who purchases anything pays sales taxes. Anyone who buys gasoline at the pump pays gas tax. Do they sometimes get paid "under the table"...of course... So do Americans - especially the welfare queens and kings and those on "workmans compensation"... and a goodly amount of retirees on Social Security. Many of those on unemployment work under the table too..... So, you have no basis for that allegation either. You have accused "them" of doing something that a good percentage of the American citizens do..... That's showing prejudice.

3. "They" cry to the ACLU and sue the very same people they steal taxes from.

The ACLU is a watchdog organizations to ensure that EVERYONE is treated fairly and humanely. No matter your citizenship status - or lack of it, you cannot be treated unfairly. ACLU makes sure you're not. You have no basis for this allegation either.

Your rather lengthly question shows that you need to do some serious research on the problem. You have made so many assumptions.....none of them true. If you want to voice your opinion, you ought to at least have a clue what the issue is rather than just spouting off.

And, there are jobs that many Americans won't do because they think these jobs are beneath them. Stoop labor in the agricultural fields, cleaning toilets in office buildings, working at the landfills, keeping our streets and roads clean. Some would rather sit on their butts and let the taxpayer support them than pick a head of lettuce.

Answer 3

This is a complicated issue. It's still "immigration." Plus, liberals are not "pro-illegal immigration." I don't think anybody is. Just because liberals use common sense when they say 12+million illegal immigrants can't possibly be deported, doesn't mean they want more illegal immigrants here. We have to secure the southern border, but we also face the problem of the 12+million of them already here (and most of them have been here for a very long time), this didn't happen over night.

Answer 4

It is yet another way to ride the coat tails of a group of people. These illegals and those who support them diminish the true claims of those who are burdened in life from racial discrimination and the illegals are only exploiting those people as they have learned to do so well. I have been contributing to this forum for over a year now and your right...it is virtually always the same thing...if you have a point, instead of thinking it through the first thing they type out is that you are a racist. It is a sad commentary for the illegals when they have no choice but to claim racism for those of us who wish to live in a crime free country. I once asked a person who called a contributor a racist if (because the majority of drunk driver are men) there was a nation wide crackdown on drunk driving would he then call those who wanted drunk driving to end sexists, needless to say there was no response.

Answer 5

I'm against illegal immigration and against any immigration reform...so is my mother who worked hard to become a citizen of this country. Enforce the laws in place that's what we want..and yes there are some people on this side who will racist remarks like *******, stupid Mexicans, etc, and they do hurt the cause against illegal immigration because groups like MECHA, La Raza use it as to their advantage. Also its the same for the other side. They use the same thing calling them rednecks, racists, etc..when in fact it's just as diverse as any other group....in this country race is being used as in advantage, when it shouldn't be. Doesn't anyone ever remember what MLKjr...judge by the content of character....man..I can't believe people actually forget this stuff...

Answer 6

I don't know if you have looked around at some questions or answers that several anti-illegals came up with (here on YA) but seems to me that you choose to avoid that fact.

Admit it, you've seen hate said by some/most (not all) anti-illegals. Somehow these anti-illegals turn the subject around and make it only about Mexico and Mexicans and they start their hate. So don't be ignorant and deny it that the hate is actually there.

And no, no one is calling you racist because you want to "enforce the laws" or because you "want illegals deported." That's not the point.

Answer 7

i dont know maybe because the anti illegals are usually against latin american illegals where most illegals are from.
i like what u wrote they dont pay taxes and ruin this country and they dont even try to learn english or try to fit in the american culture or know the american civics they should have some respect. they come to this country and they should live by the rules of it and i say all those 12 million illegals should be deported.
P.S i am a legal immigrant i have been in the U.S only 3 yrs and i and my family went through alot of challenges to get accepted to come here. and i have respect for this country and i do my best to keep the culture of this country alive.

Answer 8

dear US soldier you are not well informed, read up on the issues they are right at your fingers, on the Internet don't just state the neo con rant,
Let me tell you why I think neocons are racist, for 190 year in this country minorities were exclude from all the rights that ,Americans enjoy , These issues were finally addressed by the Democratic party (liberal) and the nation court system with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, passing the Equal Right

Amendment, EEOC, The right to public accommodations, the voting rights act ,school desegregation etc, The Anglo did not go without kicking and screaming. The Federal government had to deploy armed federal troops to the South to force the desegregation of white only schools and Universities, The solid Democratic south left the party and joined the Republican party over one issue Equal Rights (lawful racism) those people form the core of the neo con movement, that is why ,I call them racist. !

Outrageous 5 You consider your answer to this question a debate in a intellectual and rational manner. It is quite Obvious, That you do not understand the statements that you made , Which is a good indication of the depth of your intelligence.

Dear Soldier you are not paid enough for what you do, when I was in the US Army in the 1950s I received $78. a month and that was not quite as much as I needed.

Answer 9

Many anti-illegals are very racist no matter how much you deny it.
Example when they talk about illegal immigration they only mention Mexicans in a hateful tone. Yes, they make up the majority, but there are MILLIONS of illegals from other countries too like Iran, China and Asia.

Answer 10

I,m Pro America, and I don't discriminate, I love America, I love our Language, I respect the rule of Law. I believe in defending our Country. If you want to call me a racist, well go ahead, but at least do it in English.

Answer 11

Because they think it's the easiest excuse. Well it's so over used and us, Americans are sick and tired of it. They are guilty and they know it, however they are in denial. They do twist the truth about being "illegal" here in the U.S. by bringing up how poor they are and that they are victims of society. I say BS shut up, stop your self pitty, go to the nearest INS office, fall in line, fill out an application form and for once, do the right thing.

P.S. stop taking advantage of our government programs designed to help poor U.S. citizens. If you need help, ask the mexican government to help you. Your problem is not ours to shoulder.
