Why are the majority of Americans against Immigration...?

If the majority of Americans were against immigration, it would be stopped very quickly. they aren't, not as a majority. there are lots of people who are against it, and lots in favor. that's why our immigration policies are so messed up, because as a nation, we're very conflicted in our opinions on the subject. By the way, the US takes in over a million legal immigrants every year, more than the rest of the world combined. do you really think that would happen if the majority really were against it?

How about your country takes in all our illegals and see if they "annoy" you.

we're against illegal immigration. where i'm from, so many of the people in the city are illegal and it's because they take jobs and raise the cost of insurance and stuff.

ps not 100% of americans were immigrants. ever hear of native americans? they've been here...

As others have stated, Illegal immigration is what most Americans are against and one other thing. If you move to American, you should adopt the American lifestyle and customs, not impose yours on us and expect Americans to change things to accommodate the immigrants home country lifestyle. If you come to America, make an effort to learn English, accept American holidays and culture. They can still practice their home customs in their own home as long as it doesn't break American law.

my immigrant family members came here legally and that is the difference.

Americans are not against immigration, we are against illegals, illegals are not immigrants. Illegals spread disease, lower property values, lower our educational system, raise crime rates, sponge off gov. programs for anchor babies, take jobs real American citizens need. 100% of them are not immigrants, they may be descendants of immigrants but they were born here. I am American Indian, instead of using the past as an excuse for illegals we should have learned from the past not to allow this country to be invaded with the likes of these illegals!!

my family came in 1620. i welcome legal immigrants, illegals is what we don' need or want. we are tired of paying for them. if they was legal then we wouldn't be having economy problems. the would be paying in taxes. illegals all over the world is causing the economy to suffer. and we hard working honest people of the world is having to pick up the tab.

Number One.... You are lying. Americans are not against immigrants.

Number two.... If you are referring to the illegal aliens the correct term is......ILLEGAL ALIENS. And since it is clear you already know that, and you are trying to yank our chains, I am deeply pleased that we annoy you.

In addition to all of that, we are not immigrants, nor is any nation today a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of law abiding citizens... something the illegal aliens are busy smearing on the walls with sewage threats and comments.

Mike,

You and the rest of the world that ask these kind of questions should do your homework.

Illegal immigration is against the law as stated in US Code 8. And illegal immigration does cause long term social and economic problems including the crime and terrorism it brings along.

Well "Mike", you annoy the crap out of me. Mainly because you're too stupid to understand the difference between immigration and illegal immigration, which is what most Americans are against. We love people who come to America to live. Just sign the guest book when you enter please.

Because majority of the Americans narrow minded, stupid,people.They follow small but loud group of hate mongers,racist e.t.c. These socially deprived hermits are falling victim to the right wing media propaganda.Large business CEO's, corrupt wall street bankers,mortgage brokers, greedy lawyers suing doctors have ruined this country.
Undocumented workers are just an excuse to keep these american morons distracted. Part of the reason why Reagan revived the economy years ago was the fact that he granted amnesty to millions of hard working illegal immigrants.


Proud Momma of Karly
American are Ignorant and idiots. I have live here for 10 years and I have never in my whole life seen so much hate towards different races. these people are not illegal ALIENS, they are people too who come here for an opportunity to have a better life for their families. Yes America is the land of where dreams come true, but what is really that great about it.. Many of americans are in debt due to too many credit cards. you can have whatever you hearts desire is here but It doesn't mean that you are ever really going to own it. We are all people and whether they came here legally or illegally we all deserve the same respect. I am not racist but aren't part of some statistic?


Yawash Y
Lol yes, how would they feel if you tyold them to go back to your own country or countries.


GreasyTony is back
Well, it's not the majority of Americans, but people will try to tell you that it is. See, what people do, especially on here is create multiple accounts to try and make people think that it's the majority of people that are against it. But these same people are the ones that don't know any immigrants personally and watch way way too much TV. The media is so one-sided today, and if you notice when ever an illegal immigrant commits a crime, they don't only tell you his/her full name, they show their picture and tell exactly what city they are from. Hate groups and these so-called patriotic Americans have exploited our media....they spread their hate and lies all day long.

Immigrants Targeted: Extremist Rhetoric Moves into the Mainstream

Immigration remains a deeply polarizing issue in American politics and public life. Serious policy questions remain about the best way to reform America’s immigration system but the debate has also been framed, at times, by vitriolic anti-immigrant – and particularly anti-Latino – rhetoric and propaganda. Purveyors of this extremist rhetoric use stereotypes and outright bigotry to target immigrants and hold them responsible for numerous societal ills.

Unlike the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, who make no attempt to hide their racism and bigotry, these anti-immigrant groups and coalitions often use more subtle language to demonize immigrants and foreigners. They are frequently quoted in the media, have been called to testify before Congress, and often hold meetings with lawmakers and other public figures.

I would say that not all Americans. Only those in the USA

Nothing new. The USA hates, loathes, and despises immigrants

According to mark twain, in the XIX century, people gathered and hanged a Chinese, just for fun

In the 1960s, in Miami there were signs that said: "no dogs or Cubans allowed"
And, by the way, we were legals, if it has any importance

Most people here, as we can see from the answers posted here, they would love to shoot, burn at the stake, or kill the immigrants in any other way.

They say, re say, and again re say, that it is only against the illegals, but the attempt to cover their hatred is so poorly done, that their huge hatred shows, no matter how they try to disguise it

It seems that good Melissa is really trying to change her genes and her roots. How sad
No matter how hard you try, you cannot change what you are and you must live with yourself, like it or not

very true and I believe that's what has made America as great as it is.

And why do you have any more right to live in your country than anyone else you personally haven't built it up, and if your saying people have no right to live there then your saying they deserve to live where ever they do even if its dangerous and full of suffering.

The job thing is what irritates me most ethnic minorities are always statistically less able to get jobs due to employer discrimination if they did take your job they probably work harder and are better at it then you.

to those that say that they come just to live of benefits the majority of people that do that are native to the country and this contradicts the "they take our jobs" thing.

The culture "problem" with people coming who cannot speak English is a contradiction because the original culture of the Americas would be that of the native Americans not English plus there are many advantages of living in a multicultural society anyway.

Economically immigrants are an advantage as they are often forced to take the jobs nobody else wants which are some of the most vital to the economy as a whole.

Any other arguments? go ahead

Thanks for the interesting question.
