When people say "Illegal"...?

i have no idea

Are you bragging about being an illegal? Go back to where you came from and if you want to come to the US do it legally. I don't discriminate when it comes to illegals, I don't care if you're from Mexico, Burma or Mars. If you don't pay taxes and expect a free handout of health care, clothing and/or housing then we don't want you here. I work hard and pay more than 30% of my wages in taxes. I do not want my tax money going to someone...anyone...who doesn't deserve it.

Good Point

If, As You Say, Illegal Isn't A Race
Why Does The Pro-Amnesty Camp
Insist On Calling Us Racists ?

No-one Is Calling For Deportation Of All Mexicanos

But Many (MOST, Majority)
Mexicano / Latino / Hispanic "Community Organizations"
Are FALSELY ACCUSING American Citizens
Of Being "Racist" Towards Mexicans

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS UPON DISCOVERY

20 Million ILLEGAL Aliens
85 Percent Are CITIZENS Of MEXICO
15 Percent Are OTM Citizens Of ALL OTHER NATIONS COMBINED

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS UPON DISCOVERY
85% + 15% = 100%

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS UPON DISCOVERY

Maybe because the southwest is virtually populated with illegal Mexicans, with thousands pouring in every day? It's a matter of degree.

Illegal is anyone here illegally, regardless of race

bowtome

thank you cry..just look at my last question. A few people were calling me racist because I was remarking on illegals...they automatically think I mean Mexican..they are the racist ones more http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Apwz2y_rCqKcBcbWbO.PVDrsy6IX?qid=20060907132205AAsS5Gq

Because the largest number of illegals (11...13 million??) who are looting city treasuries, health care facilities, etc. and parading in our streets are waving Mexican flags.

I don't care if your Canadian, if you are here illegally get the F#@4 out! Come back in legally if ya want to be here.

waplambadoobatawhopbamboo

illegal is like speeding to work or running a red light whether you're caught or not - or wait - that's just undocumented.

Sam

When I hear illegal I just know it is not legal to the standard applied.

DaFinger

its hard for African or Asians to just run across the border
they still make it here and they should get the same. deported.
help those who are getting away from tyranny

I though of any act that's against the law when I read it.
Don't you think you saying "US people not know the meaning of their own words?" is racist?
I do.

If you are here legally, then why do you care so much?
If you are here illegally, then get legal, learn English, and get a jobby job, or go home.

stephaniemariewalksonwater

Are you in this country illegally? IF so go home we dont need proud latinos here.We want proud AMERICANS who will assimilate and learn the language.

Actually, when people say, "Illegal," I do not automatically see a Mexican. I am a "US person," and I do know the meaning of my words. If you are in this country illegally, you have a lot in common with other immigrants of various ethnicity. If it offends you to have something in common with an African or Asian, then you are a bigot. I hope I have misunderstood your sentiment.

Illegal was never a race, it's a classification of people who are not legally entiltled to be in the country.

Thats why we have "Illegal Alien" and "Resident Alien" It kinda bugs me that they are called alien though...

Tommy

I think the reason most people see Mexican is that the reality of illegal immigration happens to be that most illegal aliens here are Mexicans. We are certainly aware that other races and countries have people here illegally, and are just as concerned about them.

Soledad Mendez

ok, don't you overdo.aren't we all mestizos?At some point I decided to steer clear of extremely proud latinos.
S.M more or less proud latina

Not all Mexicans are illegal immigrants only the fence jumping, river swiming, and border hoping one's with no regard for US law are.

If you want to be here then come here legaly dont B8tch about us wanting you to leave when you have shown no respect for our immigration law!!

Oh and btw, its really not that hard to come here and be here legaly. There are literarly over 50 some different ways to do it.

Ricky

Actual when someone says illegal, the first thing that I think of, is "against the law". When someone says illegal alien, I admit, I think mostly of Mexicans, but that is because from my experience, I have only met illegal aliens who were Mexican. So from my personal experience, Mexicans constitute 100% of the illegal alien population. Yeah! How does that grab you?

DAR

We know that. Illegal is not a race. So quit calling us racist when we are against illegal immigration.

However, your question is contradictory. First you are irritated that illegal is taken to mean Mexican, then you are irritated if we say 'illegal' which lumps you with all other races of illegals.

However, illegals are illegally here and using public services, and are in a single class for that reason, regardless of race.

Yukaza

I live in Arizona and in AZ the problem is illegal Mexicans that's why.I'm not racists I'm calling the problem what it is where I live call me what you choose it still doesn't change the problem.

???

I don't associate "illegal" with "Mexican", where did you get that idea? I just asked around and nobody else does (and we live in California!) Maybe there are a few in your circle that think this way, but not all people make that kind of generalization.
