Do americans hate legal latino immigrants?

cassandra_sd

No. You're here legally. The problem you may be running in to is people seeing that you're a Latina and immediately assuming that you're Mexican AND wonder if you're 'one of them'.

Sadly, some Americans are so upset over the illegal alien situation that--despite believing they're only angry at the illegals--they have trouble differentiating between the legal and illegal immigrants they might see on the street. It's unfortunate.

But it's not all of us, by any means.

I don't hate anyone.

As a Latino, I can care less what other Americans think or whether they like me or not, I got my voter registration card tucked away in my wallet, my voice is heard whether people like it or not. I am also against illegal immigration, does that mean I hate latino's? Of course not, I just want my country's rules and sovereignty to be respected......... I treasure my latin heritage, but I also am very proud of the fact that I was born in this country to legal immigrants (actually, my parents are Puerto Rican, so they are not considered immigrants...)
As for you........ don't be mislead, you can be proud of your heritage and still be proud of being an American.

The only people I hate; regardless of race are those who break the law, and those who refuse to help themselves. I have no sympathy for people who are here illegally, and those who are too stupid or lazy to do for themselves, and want everybody else to do it for them. I greatly appreciate you not popping out a dozen or so babies and ending up on welfare. I salute YOU!!

Some do, but most don't. I do understand where you are coming from. People tend to judge by the worse of a group. I think it's worse on the internet, than real life. I'm sure after speaking to you most would feel comfortable. There will always be racist, and the racist hispanics are generating more, but the majority of people do know right from wrong.

No, I don't.

I married one from Guatemala. I am not in love with her any more since she divorced me, but I do not hate her. I am Mexican and Caucasian (half and half), born in America. I would not hate you but my wife does not allow me to have female friends.

Drop the word "Latin" in your question...add "il" in front of legal and the answer would be yes.

No, all legal immigrants are welcome! You are a great example of why legal immigration is great. I think when immigrants come here legally (like yourself), you have a grater appreciation of what the U.S. offers. Instead of separating yourself from the American culture, you infused yourself.

I think groups like ACLU and La Raza and the media confuse the public by always using the term "immigrants" instead of differentiating illegal vs. legal immigrants

According to the illegal ones yes but in reality no. I have good friends who a legal Mexicans and they wouldn't hurt a fly but the illegals need to become moving targets.

nena_en_austin

not.
I am a US citizen original from a Latin American country...
All my best friends are Americans=Caucasians.

Get off it! Geeze, we do NOT HATE Legal Latinos. We hate the fact that 20+ million illegal aliens have invaded our country!

Why would we like people that come here illegally because they think it isn't a big deal? To steal jobs, not pay taxes to support the country, then turn around and demand welfare and help in other areas. I have no problem with people of different races/creeds/religions/backgrounds/whate... working here, as long as it is legal. They claim they do it so they can support their families and survive. I could go out and rob a bank or extort someone so I oculd do the same, it doesn't make it right or justified.

I say give local police juristiction to arrest someone here illegally, hold them until the Feds show up, and ship them out. If they get caught more than once, then put them on a list of repeat offenders and up the punishment. Right now, they get caught, they get shipped back where they just try again. It is a waste of money and resources to do this. If I break the law, they keep a record of it. If I do it again, the punishment becomes more severe. The same should be for border jumpers.

Nalyxos

We don't hate you.We're just tired of all of them coming here illegally and not abiding by the rules.In fact, everytime I go to the store we see about 12 of them always sitting around outside begging for money.

It's the reputation their earning for themselves.

Fedup Veteran

No, Americans don't hate legal immigrants....it is the illegal aliens who Americans are fed up with.

DAR

No, and have children. May your tribe increase.

MR MOM

of course not, where on earth did you get that idea,, you are probably a hottie

Ms.L.A.

I don not hate legal immigrants, never have. My concern is with Illegals in this country from all other countries not just Mexico or Latin America. It has always been a legal issue with me, never a racial or cultural one. I think you show independence and smart future planning by not having more children than you can take care of, and your English seems very good to me, too. Welcome to America.

B.Kevorkian

No, of course not. Most of us don't even hate the illegal ones, we just want them to comply with the law of the land.

BTW, why so concerned about your hieght? Average height for women in America is only about 5'4", IIRC.

peerlesschino

hell no, i'm american and i love latinas. They the most beautiful girls on the planet. :-)

Michael B

well i dont hate them. i have a few latino friends myself, and i honestly dont agree with the whole 'immigration dispute'. but i dont think anyone would hate immigrants unless they were raised to hate them in a racist family...i hope i helped in some way

Yuri ^_^

No I would love you
but not all of those illegals are lying
and I think you should have children

quietthunder

I kind of have a strict No Hate policy!

Truth be told, people are always going to look for scapegoats - someone they can blame the troubles of the world on. Immigrants (in general) are the ones getting the undeserved bad rep in America right now. It really has so little to do with the actions of immigrants. I mean, come on - every American has had an immigrant in their family!!

No matter what you are like, there are always going to be people who disapprove of you (and me, and everyone else.) You can't please everyone, so don't even worry about it!

Peace :)
