For the people who are against illegal immigrants from Latin America..?

boss bee - YANKEES FOREVER!!!!

Of course they're gonna say they are against ALL illegals but the only illegals that are attacked on here are Hispanic.

I have no problem with legal immigrants from any country. I do not expect them to totally leave their culture behind....but I do expect them to assimilate to this culture.

Fedup Veteran

No, I am not against immigrants as long as they are LEGAL.

Sara

When i go to mexican restaurant i dont want to order in spanish unless i am in Mexico, thats all

JessicaRabbit

I am against ALL illegal aliens because they are criminals for breaking our laws. I don't care where they come from. If there is an illegal from Canada, they still should leave! I am not against legal immigrants.

Even though I don't eat at places like you mention, what does that have to do with illegals?

Matt

I am against ILLEGAL immigration. I don't give a d**n what country you're from. Try and focus on the word ILLEGAL.

Mojo Jojo

If they respect America enough to come over legally then I say they're welcome here and have a shot at a good life just like my dad's people did whom came over LEGALLY from Ireland. Come legal, or stay out of my country PERIOD.

Razor Jim

No just the illegals....the legals are welcome.

Philip L

Not the same thing. But would people in Peru or any where else want to wake up and find that they were flooded with english-only speaking illegals? Would they be happy if catholic churches and Peruvian restaurants were closed to make way for McDonalds or a Burger King?

Keep up or take notes...Americans are in favor of LEGAL IMMIGRATION. We hope that those that immigrate would choose to assimilate to the USA by learning English, being productive members of our society and obeying our laws. We want them to become citizens and pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Open that Mexican restaurant of Salvadoran Restaurant, most of us relish experiencing exotic cuisine and other cultures, but don't fly a Mexican flag over the American flag in front of your restaurant. Cherish and maintain your heritage, but teach your children English as well as Spanish, after all, the language of the USA has been English since before it declared it's independence. Assimilate to the culture that you are immigrating to and quit expecting me to assimilate to the culture that you left.

"You" who.?
You seem to be assuming a lot without foundation. You ARE making it a racial issue with those comments. Because individuals don't agree with you doesn't make them racist. Only a racist would think that.

Illegal and legal are very different things aren't they?
One (legal) is a guest or prospective citizen the other (illegal) is a burglar who sneaks into our country in the dead of night and robs us blind while people waste their time garnering sympathy for criminals.

Yes, it they want to keep their culture pure, they need to stay home and and enjoy there life there. I somethings eat in a Italian restaurant, but that does not mean I want to learn Italian.

I haven't heard anyone having a problem with legal immigrants. It's the ones that come here illegally, don't pay taxes, and disrespect the the American flag at their protests. We don't want them to leave their culture behind, but do what immigrants are supposed to come here to do, assimilate into American culture. They've shown a lot of disrespect to American during their protests. Burning the American flag, or hanging it upside down under the Mexican flag, there's nothing more you can call that but disrespect. Show some respect and you will get some in return. It's quite simple actually.

No, legal residents are cool, supposing we have limits that protect our schools and services. It is those ignoring limits to protect our own children's educations and opportunities that we resent.

Now a question to you, do you want your own children in ever more overcrowded schools with reduced services to accomodate the many many millions above current immigration levels (and above legalization of those here) who would be allowed under the current bill?

PS where they are from is totally irrelevant to us. Why did you phrase your question that way?

Mike Ologee

I think that it is interesting that throughout the debate, the ones against illegal immigation still do not talk about the Canadian border.
The Nigerians who are bringing the identity theft scams to the United States have been reported to be crossing via our neighbors to the North.
I can just imagine the members of the minutemen as they sit watching the borders for illegal crossers while they chomp down on their tacos and burritos that they bought at their local taco bell restaurant.

The Guru

I believe that we Americans are against illegal immigrants from ANY part of the world, not just from Latin America. Why is this matter being portayed as a Latin American issue ?

grips

I have no problem with a legal immigrant. I do have a problem with illegals in the country,taking American jobs or living off the welfare system. No one has asked them to leave their culture behind. Heck, there are still people from Scotland who play bagpipes and wear kilts and attend Scottish festivals, but they learned the English language and assimulated into the American society. There is nothing wrong with a Hispanic becoming an American citizen, learning English, and attending a fiesta every weekend if he wants to-------just don;t expect America to start printing government forms in Spanish, demanding that classes in schools be taught in Spanish to their children, etc.

JustAskin

I hope your question is not accusing us who are opposed to ILLEGAL immigration of some kind of racism. Immigration is not a racism issue!!! I want legal immigration and I do not suport this current bill. But I am not a racist. Further, immigration extends to other people besides Latinos. The rules should be the same for all.

America was made the greatest nation on earth by immigrants. I am a decendant of an Irish immigrant myself and have the utmost respect for people who came here and made themselves prosperous and successful. I'm still working on it and I thank God that I am able to be in America. It's what America is all about. The varied cultuers are important, but do not forget that there is an American culture as well.

We are a nation of laws. We have borders, which, for our own sovereignty and safety, must be protected. Just like every country on earth. If someone breaks a law, there must be consequences. It's the same with illegal immigration.

What we need to do, is develop a system that makes it faster and more streamlined to get someone citizenship so that the incentive to come here legally is greater than the incentive to come here illegally.

People who support LEGAL immigration are not racists. They are Americans. I hope you understand that.

spirit_whiisperer

Our ancestors (I'm Irish, German, Cherokee) came here from far, far away over the sea's. Then we killed the native people of this land and stoled there land from them. Then we took part of Mexico, drawled a line and said do not cross this line because you don't belong here. Now all of you can give me 100's of thumbs down for saying the truth here, I don't care. This is the truth even if most of you can't swallow it. Part of what we know as America was once Mexico so I believe they have just as much right to be here as the rest of us. WE ARE ALL HUMAN!!! In the eyes of God we are all equal!!!

juriscoyote

All of these idiot Mexican haters are pitifully, in the first place their is no such thing as legal immigration from Mexico for the simple reason if you apply as a Mexican to immigrate to the usa, you will always be denied, when the immigrants came from europe, they always let them in, yes they do discriminate that is why Mexicans are illegal.

No we do not want to assimilate to your culture because you don't have any, their is nothing to assimilate to, the immigrant wants the money not your stupid american way of life.

SilverPhoenix

Not the case at all. They must be LEGAL to enter the country, not ILLEGAL. Which then opens this question. What type of government do the American ppl really want? I'm willing to bet most(if ever properly informed of the past and current situations) would indeed say a "Republic". Just a thought though.

tiny Valkyrie

We're not demanding ANYONE leave their culture behind.
All we are asking is that they come here LEGALLY, learn the language, obey the laws, and become productive members of American society.

What is so DIFFICULT for you people to comprehend here????

I only order my food in a foreign language when I'm visiting a foreign country. I shouldn't have to speak anything other than English to get a hamburger in the United States.

B.G.

I do not mind productive people from latin america, but i don't want a penny of tax money to go to their welfare, healthcare, or social security unless they have contributed the same way I have. That is not fair. I don't care where you have came from. Get off you a$$, pay taxes, and learn english.

chandlerr_360

I do not mind legal immigration from any region into the U.S. As far as Spanish culture goes, I don't mind it, and it is very much apart of our country. However, when the majority of a country speaks a certain language, most people who immigrated to that country would LIKE to learn that language so that they can actually communicate with people...If Latino's actually took the time to learn english, cross the border legally, and simply give a care, then they would probably not be in the situation they are in now.

And to be truthful, when ever culture is brought up with latin american immigrants, it almost always refers to language. I don't think anyone truthfully cares about anything else, otherwise you would probably be borderline racsist...

giantph

Stop playing the race card. No one approves of ILLEGAL aliens because they are law breaking criminals. PERIOD.

Micky

I'm against all illegal immigrants.

Dowahdiddy

Girl, you have to make up your mind. You title say "illegals" then you question (what there is of a question) says "legals".

I have no problem with legal immigrants it's the illegal ones that piss me off. If they are so stupid to come into this country illegally, then they shouldn't have any problem with getting deported with a dog collar on that let's us know if they try to come back so they can be gunned down where they stand.

Lewis O

Illegal is illegal is illegal. Come to our Country speak English! Come to our Country legally do things right,keep you culture. Don't sponge off the Govt., don't make our hospitals go into bankruptcy, teach their children to speak English. There are several restaurants with legal citizens running them. All illegals with criminal back grounds need to be sent back and never become citizens

Earthman

I am not against legal immigrants from Latin America, but there are too many illegals from those countries, especially Mexico. We should stop all legal immigration from Mexico until the illegals are deported. I don't eat at Latino restaraunts!
I want immigrants to learn English and assimilate to American culture and values. If you don't want to assimilate, then stay in your own country. Don't try to mess up the USA!
