Does racism drive people to SUPPORT illegal immigration?

Question

I have notice that the majority of supporters "coincidentally" are Hispanic, no offense to Hispanic Americans that do not support crime.

OG...illegal bashing is driving by crime not racism??...right?

Answer 1

Supporters of illegal aliens seem to ignore that most anti-illegal alien/anti-shamnesty people simply do not care what the nationality of an illegal alien is. I certainly don't. I care about my nation and my people which are other born-citizens, naturalized citizens and legal immigrants. The automatic assumption of pro-illegals that I am racist is preposterous. My circle of friends include blacks, Asians, latinos, a couple of Hispanics (legal immigrants from Spain), other Native Americans and other whites. I'm half of the latter two. As a half-breed, I have faced prejudice, but years ago. I have seen that recede. My youngest son's best friend since they were five is black. It's been a long-time since I've seen a white person cast a strange look at them in public.
As a nation, we have made strides against racism, now illegal alien supporters are stirring up cries of false racism in a situation involving a group composed of many nationalities, and many ethnic backgrounds for they have no other defense for their position. I don't believe it is a motivation to many of them, but an excuse and a tool to use.
Opposition is based on negative effects on our culture, the overburdening of our schools, health care, depression of wages, and the burden placed on law enforcement and our prison system by criminally-minded illegal aliens.

Answer 2

Imagine that 21 million white Eastern Europeans had helped themselves to the US without legal permission. Let's say they all work cheaply because they don't pay taxes. They use tax payer funded services like schools, WIC, roads, FD, PD, prisons, and they send what little extra money they do have back to Slovakia, Croatia or wherever. So they're displacing low skilled American workers, not investing in the services they use and exporting more money than they put back into the economy. Also imagine that instead of learning to speak English they were demanding that the US learn to speak Polish, Czech or Russian. I think most white people would have all the same problems with these imaginary illegal immigrants as they do the ones that happen to be brown. It also doesn't help that they're by in large misogynist, homophobic and bigoted against non-Latinos.

Answer 3

It would seem that race / racism is the driving factor behind legals who support illegal immigration. There is no real advantage to them. It drives wages down, increases taxes, crowds cities. It exposes all to the risks of unscreened criminal elements coming into the country undeclared/ unknown.

They deny that a nation has the right and obligation to control it's population. The give no consideration to those of other races and nationalities that wish to immigrate to the US. The do not recognize that it is grossly unfair to those who follow procedure and abide by the law to immigrate.

The only reason to support it is race when you get down to it.

Answer 4

It seems that way. Every time you let it be known that you are against illegal immigration to another hispanic, they act as if you are just racist. They never look at the fact that illegal immigration is hurting them as well. It may appear racist because 90 something percent are hispanic. If I'm called a racist for being against illegal immigration, then so be it. If the one calling me a racist thinks that, then I really could care less what such a uneducated individual thinks about me.

Answer 5

Think about it, Hispanics obviously have Hispanic relatives, so some of those might be illegal. Whose side do you expect them to choose, white America (they're normally anti white, as far as I have seen, anyway), or their own family?

I have no problem with people that immigrate LEGALLY, but they also need to contribute to society by paying INCOME taxes, and not being on welfare, having car insurance, NOT having 12 kids, etc. If they want to come here for a better life, they need to be grateful for that. Learn ENGLISH and quit waving their flag around like their country of origin is the best place on Earth...if that were true, why would they come here?

Answer 6

It's all connected. People who yell racism are the first ones to want our government to give away our language, borders and culture. They usually feel disenfranchised. This of course is nonsense because any one with a sense of right and wrong, who works hard and is bright enough to earn money can do want ever they want, even the illegals. It has nothing to do with race, creed or color.

Answer 7

Some people are probably motivated by racism. And by "probably," I mean "definitely" because I've seen and heard the racism with my own eyes and ears. That's not to say everyone is racist, but there are always going to be wackos in any movement.

Answer 8

I hope not. I don't know why most people can't seem to realize that illegal aliens are a legal problem not a racial one, also, an economic problem.

Answer 9

I am a minority. My wife is a minority. We both oppose illegal immigration. Our race(s) does not matter. We are of different races/nationalities.

We are both U.S. citizens. I was born here. She is a naturalized citizen..


Americans of all races oppose illegal aliens. It is a weak argument unsupported by FACTS, that is used by those supporting illegal immigration that is a "racial issue".

Answer 10

I know for a fact that alot of black folks are angry at their history with whites, therefore it clouds alot of their judgment on illegal immigration. I'm working my hardest to get the message out to them in a way that they can read true facts before they jump on the "whitey is racist" bandwagon. Illegal immigration affects every legal PERSON in America, not just whites. Most non whites need to realize this.
