Is it ok to be against illegal immigration if you just dislike poor people trying to improve their lot in life?

Don Camilo

No. But many of those don't just dislike the poor people. They also wish to see them burnt at the stake

BlackSheep

Yes...economic migrants claiming political asylum are fraudsters and thus criminals.

Sasori

This question has been asked and answered enough times.
It has nothing to do with race, rich or poor. It is 12-20 million people coming here illegally, taking jobs, using welfare, driving illegally, committing crimes. TAKING WHAT THEY ARE NOT ENTITLED TO.
They do not need to come here illegally to "improve their lot in life" all they need to do is get an education, a job and not have so many children.

Ida Slapter

We also dislike the rich illegals.

jonthelier

no its not ok

roadhazzards

It's ok to be against illegal immigration regardless of the reason. I'm against all crimes and criminals even if they're poor people trying to improve their lot in life.

I Like Old Escorts

Yes

Cracker

I can improve my lot in life by successfully robbing a bank, But it doesn't make it ok. It is not ok that there are 20 million people inside the US that the government has no way to account for. There should be a record of everyone that travels inside and outside the US. illegal immigration completely undermines nation security efforts.

The key is in your question. ILLEGAL means against the law, a crime.

Why should we tolerate people who don't respect our laws in the first place?

Julio

poor people are not the issue,law breakers are. what i cannot understand is if you believe all the open border idiots Always and i mean Always they are sprouting rhetoric about illegal immigrant children who were forced to sneak over here and all of them are college material,these sob stories make me laugh because the way they make it sound is as if all mexican born children are as smart or smarter then american children. but what i don't understand is why mexico with all these scholars is so corrupt and criminal.

TaxPayer

~Yes -

It is not OK to "improve their lot in life" illegally and at the expense of others, namely Americans. We have upwards of 12 million Americans out of work, yet illegal aliens should have jobs?! We also pay the taxes that support the healthcare and educations of illegal aliens and their families--yet illegal aliens contribute little in taxes and continue to have more kids even than in their homelands, thus burdening our social systems. That's improving their lot in life on the backs of the American taxpayer. And in the process, illegal aliens make OUR QUALITY OF LIFE MUCH POORER. So how is it wrong for US to want to improve OUR lot in life?

kew

ILLEGAL. do you understand that word? it means breaking the law. im not allowed to break the law. im not allowed to go live where ever so why should criminals get away with it.

It is okay to dislike illegal invasion for many reasons, it has nothing to do with poor. I help poor everyday, I see poor everyday. It is sad that they get poorer and are denied more help because illegals are draining every gov. program they can. Illegals need to improve their lot where they came from and not here.

Happy to Help

I don't dislike poor people, I do dislike illegals. There's a huge difference.

I THINK IT IS NOT OK AT ALL TO DISLIKE POOR PEOPLE TRYING TO IMRPOVE THEIR LOT IN LIFE - EVERYONE SHOULD TRY TO IMPROVE.

BUT IT IS OK TO BE AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

You sound like you're reasonably well off. I'm a bit concerned that my household is badly run and a bit corrupt. Rather than sort it out I'd like to camp in your neighbour's garden then jump over the fence when you're not looking and wait for dinner. Please publish your address so I know where to go.

lokidrew

why can't poor people improve their lives where they already live.?

nighteagal44

NEWS FLASH is forrest gump your boy friend. even he didn't ask the same question over and over. instead of asking us why dont you pose this to la raza because they cater to trash. .

Joe C

Sasori hit it on the nail.

Sabrina

It's not that..... It's not being racist or anything. It's the simple fact that I love my country and hate anything that is weakening my country from the core.It would be sad that in 100 or 200 years we are not a top country anymore because of illegals weakening our economy and strengthening others. So stop it with the if you are against illegal immigration you must hate Latinos or poor people and do some critical thinking! It would sure be nice if the people I know (natural born American citizens) could improve their lot in life by getting a better paying job if the illegals were gone.

Diana

This was why the Pilgrims came to this country in the first place, should we have been against them

mimi

No its OK to be against illegals because they come here to get welfare and to eat off my paycheck.Why should they make me poorer so they can have their babies and get their welfare.You are always making it sound like the illegals have it so bad here will get real we all know the main reason they come here is to feed off the govt.Would they stay if they didn't get assistance.I would take a big bet on NO....The funny thing about all of this illegal thing is that you and people like you only worry about illegal Mexican you could care less about any other illegal.Its all self serving as we all know you either have an illegal in your family or using them as cheap labor .Maybe a little of both...And if you want to talk about poor how about lets talk about my parents that sometimes I had to help pay for either their food or medication to help them make ends meet or they would have done without.So please don't talk to me about poor,because you don't know what you are talking about.You people make me sick your willing to defend people that don't even have the right to be here and DO GET WELFARE while our elderly and OUR poor barely make ends meet.So you do what I have done before my parents both died last year YOU take care of the illegals.Lets have a collection once a year and all that wants them here then give to this charity the rest of us are sick and tired of taking care of them in every aspect of their lives.

Dangyo

Yep!! I don't have to give a reason!

Jill Rose you sure on the subject of Illegal Immigration...I wonder why? If you are here illegally you are up to no good, like leaching off us tax payers, raping, robbing, drinking and driving, free loading somehow.....if I lived in a country like Mexico I sure would not keep having dozens of kids I know I cannot feed nor take care of, we don't want the problem here, you had them you pay for them, we have enough problems of our own...don't you have other questions to ask, or are you a button pusher? We don't want them here.....not to mention diseases they bring in. An illegal drank, drove and killed a friend of mine...no insurance (gee what a shock) the pickup was stolen (gee another shock) The illegals follows our landscaping trucks around carrying bolt cutters, when they see we park our trucks to go to work when we can't see our locked up trailer they cut the bolts steal us legals blind and start their own illegal landscaping business, and I do not care what some of you have to say about this, it is true...it has happened in my family now 3 times in the last 2 years. So if we catch them beat the hell out of them....so what?

Crazy Skinhead

It is definitely okay to be against people that leech off of an economy and take away jobs from hardworking white people.

Uin

NO!

These hard working individuals are only trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. Immigration is a good thing, which should be encouraged.

Many racists use immigration as an excuse to vent their bigoted views. These unscrupulous fools target immigrants to vent their racist anger, and to help promote their own agendas.
