Why are people so bothered by illegal immigration?

Question

There are people who complain it takes away jobs, but these people don't mention outsourcing.

There are people who say illegal is illegal, but these people don't also have a crusade against illegal music downloading, teenage drinking, or even driving without a seatbelt.

The minutemen line up along the Mexican border, but not the Canadian border.

There just seem to be so many inconstancies. Is the real reason people are against illegal immigration because they are tired of all the Mexicans? Do they subconsciously give the other reasons because they don't want to accept that they have a phobia of Mexicans and/or other cultures.

Answer 1

yes, that is what is happening, behind all those immigration laws, there is a lot of racism hided behind, they are not behing european immigrants, many of them here illegally, when I see immigration breaking into their houses and buildings and I see rumanian, polish, and other european immigrants in the news deported I wont shut up, cause I only see the prosecution toward us, I am an american citizen and I only feel the hate toward latino community, there is asian gangsters, black gangsters, white gangsters and criminals not only have brown skin, we are far more good than bad apples

Answer 2

We all great Americans, are against Illegal Immigration in the US, it's obvious. This issue, this mess put our security in danger in our own soil. We're in war on terror and we don't really know who are living in our neighborhood, in our city, in our state and our country because more than 12 million people are undocumented.

However, it's very unfortunate to see some people taking advantage from this issue, Illegal Immigration, to express their anger and animosity towards those undocumented people. It's easy to feel how frustrated and angry are some people when it comes to this issue.
As good Americans it's our right and duty to denounce what is it not right in our country, but the solution would not come just by sitting behind computer and spreading animosity ... "All the undocumented people are criminals, deport them".

Let's get real ...
They (undocumented people) already here and we must find a way to deal with those who don't have a criminal background. If you're really against Illegal Immigration, soon there would be a solution because America cannot deal with this mess any longer. But if you have some xenophobic feelings towards those undocumented people, you will still have problems because we are a nation of Immigrants!

PS: The thumbs down (the intolerants people) would represent those who don't wanna go to school to learn something, they're just sitting on their back and claiming landscapers, dishwashers are taking our jobs in America!

Answer 3

The fastest growing to be area for unlawful immigration is the South..... The Southeast it extremely is with Georgia greatest the way (the unlawful immigrant inhabitants doubled in only 5 short years). The Southeastern states with the exception of the hot Georgia regulations do no longer have any regulations or regulations to attend to non electorate, i do not ought to inform you that Georgia isn't a border state...... unlawful immigrants are spreading out now and shifting extra into the jap states and up the East Coast... unlawful immigration is shared through all taxpayers, even those in states that are literally not heavily laid low with unlawful immigration (as yet) at the same time as California through far outnumbers the different state for total unlawful immigrants, that is likewise a tremendous state and in accordance to capita lots of the smaller states are those being hit very hard through unlawful immigration.

Answer 4

Abdul gave a list of things that American taxpayers pay to support illegal immigrants. He put medicaid and welfare on the list. How can an illegal immigrant receive food stamps,welfare, medicaid etc. without proper documentation? Almost everything you need for social survival in this country requires proof of LEGAL residence (even state I.D's and driver licenses). And how would they know that all this stuff is going to illegal immigrants? What did they do survey them? I mean if someone is here illegally and you do a survey on them, don't you have to send them back when you find out? I really don't understand.

Answer 5

illegal immigrants mexicans really nothng phobic about disliking their illegal immigrating nothing to do with fear of other cultures. as a matter of fact mexicans whether illegal or not are some of the most undemocratic prrejudice racist people on the face fo the earth and they bring alot of mentally disturbed people they dont like communication and anything work they do here, is far outweighed by the damage and harm and discomfort and displeasure they bring and cause, THE UNITED STATES SHOULD SUE THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT FOR BIG $$$ AND JAIL EVERY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT FOR A YEAR OF HARD LABOR AND THEN DEPORT THEM WITH NO OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENSHIP

Answer 6

You are nitpicking. Downloading violations and not wearing seatbelts is nowhere near the equivalent of millions of illegal invaders taking jobs, committing crime which actually hurts people, and inundating our culture.

You also know that whatever immigration problems arise around the Canadian border, they are small fries compared to the militaristic takeover plans taking place in the South.

I take it you're one of those people that see anyone voicing the slightest opinion against illegals as racist. You know, the kind that can only see in extremes.

Answer 7

You are sorely misinformed.

People are against illegal immigration because,
1. it is illegal
2. No country can survive mass immigration legal or otherwise and remain a sovereign nation for long. There is a complete disregard for the law and Americans by illegal aliens. They don't want to assimilate.
3. We don't want our tax dollars going for handouts and freebies to illegals.
4. There are no "inconsistencies", the 'majority" of the American People are against it, the government on the other hand, up until recently has not enforced their own laws but because the American People are outraged at the current situation they have made their objections known and the government is now starting to crackdown.

American jobs, tax payer funded programs and entitlements should go to American citizens before anyone else! It is simple if you are here illegally, you don't belong here.

Answer 8

They are ignorant, full of empty pride, & are governed by ignorant minds. They don't consider that this is a country that is governed by law, & order is maintained by obeying the law. They can't see that the minute that they came over here illegally they caused disorder, & as long as they remain in this country illegally they are causing unrest. Mexico has taken the easy way out by allowing this to happen for capitol gain. Now the problem is overwhelming when all these people start getting deported back to Mexico.

Answer 9

"phobia of Mexicans" Just again bucky.

The illegals are the ones driving down the wages of contractors.

The illegals are the ohe driving down the wages in those low paying jobs.

You don't see the Canadians coming down here in droves demanding our social services.

You don't see the Canadians coming here killing people than demand protection from the Canadian government.

So can the race line.

I have no problem with legal immigration.

Tell you how do you feel if someone jumps the line ahead of you.

Do you say no big deal?

That is what the illegals are doing jumping the line for those who are waiting to come here.

Answer 10

I understand why they come, I pity them. I have been very poor at times in my life & I have been hungry but, I always knew that my predicument was not endless, there would be better days for me. The Mexicans that come here do not have that hope. They come because they are desperate! There is no hope for them back in Mexico. I think they love their country just as I love mine, but their country has not been kind to them & they don't have the means to make the changes that need to be made for them to stay in the place that they really would rather live. They know that they are not welcome here, that must be hard to take but most have no choice. They stay & take our abuse because they need to eat & their families need to eat. What else can they do?
The problem lies in the fact that we are not the land of plenty anymore, we Americans are also facing hardships. We have an over burden medical system, we cannot even adequately care for our own, much less take on millions more to care for so, we resent them coming & expecting us to care for them. They don't understand this because they see us as having so much more than they are coming from but, we have worked & paid taxes, S. S. & countless other costs that they have no comcept of because their country never set up any thing like what we have tried to do for our people. Yes, we resent having to pay for others who have contributed nothing! We resent their being hired before us in our own country, because they will work for less & unscrupulous companies exploit them at our expense. I have no phobia regarding Mexicans, I have worked with a few & have like all of them. They were here legally, for generations. No problem.
We don't need guards at the Canadian border, no one from Canada wants to move here now, their money is worth more than ours! Guess the best thing we can do is just take over Mexico & set up a Democracy, put some systems in place that will give all of the people a chance at a decent life, help with education of all the people etc. That's the only answer I can see as feasible.
