would you be as angry about immigration if the illegals were coming from europe instead of mexico ?

Answer 1

No one would be mad, people don't have a thing against immigration. Americans hate brown skin, so sad yet so simple.

Answer 2

Yes it would matter. No country even one as large as the US an take in so many people at on e time without it affecting the country in a negative way.
My husband came to the USA 35 years ago as a refugee from Eastern Europe. he was not allowed into the USA or any other country until Interpol did a complete background check on him. It used to take between 8 months to a year to do it properly.
He also was a highly skilled general machinist who could support himself without government aid of any kind.
Things are way to lack now, we have people from Europe who are criminals too. It seems they are not really checking who is coming into our country.Why is that, it worked 35 years ago.

Answer 3

Of course, illegal is illegal. The Mexicans and Latinos in general have displayed a disgraceful attitude to our nation and their marches and other BS is unforgivable! Since they are the majority and display the most hateful attitude we've ever seen in this nation make them the targets but I've always said that this is a legal issue not a racial one! All of them must go regardless of race, creed, culture or race! We are not a Welfare Nation for the world's unwanted!

Answer 4

Yes. I am quite angry about the illegals from Europe and Asia just as much as south of our border. The problem is fairness. If you are Jewish or Cuban you could almost walk in to this country. Haitian or Chinese it is another story. It needs to be fair across the board. We don't need illegals period. They wait their turn or stay home.

Answer 5

Yes. The allegations -- implicit or explicit -- that it is based in racism against mexicans is a weak, sorry - @ssed way of admitting you know you've lost the argument.

Pulling the race card--or the infamous "your ancestors were illegal" -- is basically the same as announcing I HAVE NO INTELLIGENT LEGITIMATE RESPONSE.

Answer 6

An illegal is an illegal, no matter where they are from,,but sadly since we are attached to one of the worst corrupt countries on the face of the planet,,we have more Mexican illegals,,and remember how the Immigration Service has their detainees listed,,,
1 - Mexican
2 - OTM (Other Than Mexican),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

But I guess Mexico is better than Afganistan,,,,

Answer 7

Why would it matter where they are from? I'm sure there are lots of European illegals also, and the same laws should apply, but the fact of the matter is the great majority are not Europeans, so the question is not too relevant.

Answer 8

Yes. I would like all people who would like to come to our country to do so through legal means. The only exception would be people who are seeking asylum (from places like Cuba). In those cases, I can forgive them for not going through the standard process although they should begin the process of officially seeking asylum versus remaining in the country illegally.

Answer 9

Yes. It's not about race it's about numbers. If we had 30 million illegal Dutch immigrants.. we'd be upset about that as well.

Answer 10

It would depend on whether or not they used free government services and didn't contribute enough taxes in return, like a lot of Mexicans do.

Answer 11

If they were illegal, contributed disproportionately to crime and disease and sapped public funds, and refused to learn the language and assimilate, and on top of it all claimed that the US was somehow their land and marched in our streets demanding that we accomodate them, I think immigrants from ANY part of the would would receive a chilly reception.
