Why does everyone hate so much immigrants?

Robert J

Americans done hate immigrants. We don't like the illegal aliens that sneak into the U.S. and start demanding free healthcare, free housing, free food stamps, and free education. If they do jobs Americans won't do it is because the pay is too low. If they weren't here taking these jobs, the hotels and restaurants (to name a few) would have to pay a decent wage for work. We need to build the fence and begin kicking them out..

Attention:

Let's make some points crystal clear -

Americans have no problem with LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Americans have a huge problem with ILLEGAL ALIENS.

There is a difference. There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant.

Last but not least, if every illegal alien left this country (one way or another) the rest of the US would experience the following:

1. No change with the exception of -
2. Lower crime rate

Crops will continue to be harvested, dishes will continue to get washed, motel and hotel rooms will continue to get cleaned. You're not that important...sorry to burst your bubble. I think every American citizen will agree, if America lost a few million criminals from their country, we'd all sleep a little better.

You can take THAT to the bank!

left out illegal
legal immigrants are okay in my books

This link is meaningless. I have no problem with legal immigrants. We just lost our hospital closed due to 81 million dollars in loses over the last 10 years. Every dime was traced and about 78.4 million of that was due to illegals using the facilities and never ever paying any of their bills. 80% of their bills were for having babies. The number of students who have been admited to the school system here who do not speak any English has grown by 600% over that same 10 years. The school board has totally freaked out, because the last 3 levies have failed and class room size the start of this school year averages 38 children per class and of those in 1st thru 6th grade 48% do not speak English. Of those 92% speak Spanish of the Mexican dialectTo my knowledge 99% of these children are here illegally). The rest speak Russian, Chinese, and Aribic (To my knowledge all those children are here legally). Why do I hate illegal imigrants? My wife works at a prision with 1600 inmates. 68% of whom are hispanic(of those 87% are illegals) Every one of the inmates, who are married, families recieve SSI. I had 2 massive heartattacks last year and my heart now will only function at 36% of what it should be. Social Security tells me I have to much education to recieve Social Security Disability. WTF?? I should like, support, tollerate illegal imigrants? Not in this lifetime!!!!!!!!!!

FOR THE LAST TIME........ We like immigrants. We all were immigrants at one time. People have problems with ILLEGALimmigrants. Why is this such a hard concept for people to understand?

We don't hate immigrants. In fact we love immigrants. What we dislike are illegal aliens that have no regard for the laws of this country. Illegal aliens that refuse to follow the rules that everyone else follows simply because they think they are special and not subject to the rule of law like everyone else.

No, its the criminals we HATE, not immigrants.

This is simply not true.

Sane & patriotic Americans believe in legal immigration, enforcing our immigration policies and securing our borders.

If we controlled our immigration better and forced people on welfare to work we would easily fill any & all jobs we "need" to have filled.

America would be strong & prosperous without the illegal immigration and will be strong & prosperous when we get illegal immigration under control.

I have nothing at all against LEGAL immigrants - those who have obeyed the laws of the United States in order to gain entry to the United States. ILLEGAL immigrants are lawbreakers. Granted, the law needs fixing, but until it is fixed, it is still the LAW.

I make up stuff

Why don't I persuade you with the same line of bull over, and over again, and see if you will adhere to what I WANT. Because for the trillionth time, ALL those JOBS are JOBS Americans will do, and have done long before your loving illegals came into the picture. And the latest BS you, and Bush are trying to say is that the American TRUCKERS do not want to do the JOBS that they are already DOING.

Have you seen how they responded to yours, and Bush's propaganda? I hope they make you, and Bush feel the pain he claims he feels for the Americans. He is a liar, just as YOU are. Get used to being called traitors.

The problem is the ILLEGAL immigrants, not immigrants in general. America is the great melting pot of immigrants. Most all of us have ancestors who immigrated from somewhere. How can ANYONE who is breaking the law by being here TRUELY be an asset to our society?

Anne

Being this article is over a year old you are grasping for straws

joeandhisguitar

You seem to be trying to make it look like only Americans do not want illegals aliens among them when it is actually the vast majority of all citizens in every nation. I can produce many many more links than you that can show that illegal aliens do more harm than good.
Moreover, your argument is akin to this argument; We as Americans should praise all criminals because if it weren't for them then all law enforcement agencies and their families would be with out a means of supporting themselves. Which is a ridicules way to look at it.

Please come up with a new excuse,the one you used is getting quite old. Illegal immigrants take far more from this country than they ever give back.

Winter Glory

I have no problem with immigration, that's how our nation became what it is today, however the generations of immigrants that came to America before, came here in a legal manner, they didn't sneak into our country, they became legal US citizens and learned to speak english, that is what immigrants into any nation should do, go there legally, and learn the language that is spoken by the majority!

Dave

It's not immigrants - it's ILLEGAL immigrants that are the problem. How do you know Americans won't do these jobs? If we give the people who are here illegally the pass home & keep them out until they can follow the rules, don't you think the country might be a little better off? Also maybe employers would pay better wages if they couldn't get some poor soul trying to feed his family on $10 a day.

1.you left out the word illegal.2.One way or another,Im going to be paying higher for services,products,etc.So I would rather pay higher prices than give whats going to be left of my social security taxes to people who do not pay into social security.

America does not hate immigrants. They do not want any illegal aliens to come and live here regardless of their reason. The same is true in every other country on earth.

There is no such thing as a job Americans won't do. There are lots of bosses that do not want to pay people what the job is worth. As far as seasonal jobs go, there is no reason why a legal accommodation cannot be made to transport people in to do the work and transport them home afterward.

Don't mix legal immigrants with illegal aliens. They are two different things. There are plenty of legal immigrants that arrive every year. They are most welcome. Not so the illegal aliens. Try to find another country in the world that accepts as many immigrants as America does. We do not deserve such criticism.

Cry me a river... I am so sick of this same question asked every hour on the hour!!!

happymixer

Because alot of your earnings go to pay for their medical, housing, food, etc.

daddylongtrips

This is nonsense, they do jobs Americana's will not do. If we got those "Americana's" off welfare, they would do those jobs.

We don't hate immigrants, we hate ILLEGAL immigrants because you broke the law coming here, you steal Free education, you steal welfare, you steal medical care, you steal and steal and steal. If you want to come here, get in line, we have laws, and have had them for 150 years, they are not new. This country was built on LEGAL Immigration.

Please take your cousins, brothers, and Anchor babies back to YOUR country. Change YOUR country to be better

GET OUT NOW!!!!!! And God bless.

Kevin S

your missing a point, Americans dont hate immigrants
they hate people who break the law and illegally move here
legal immigrants are always welcome

josy_italia

Look my family are legal immigrants they had to wait like 10 years to get their visas... they waited in mexico... like it should be. Yes every mexican wants to have a better life and a better future I agree because some places in Mexico are so sad to see and thats the govenments fault, but thats why there are rules thats why there are seperate countries. If you think about it.... before when would you hear about illegals getting deported or getting killed or etc... no not like today and you know why its happening today because illegals are demanding rights that are not even theirs. Yes they do get ugly jobs and they do get jobs that many americans wont do... but let me tell you that i know alot of people that are illegal and they have better jobs that we americans do... (by the way I was born here)... they get false social securities and visas and stuff... and that not fair to the ones that have waited for years to do everything the legal way. Right now someone in Chicago is using my social security and its messing it up my record ( and let me tell you that they dont always get bad jobs... this girl that is using my ss is working in a hotel), what should i do? I mean how can you defend that?

no2illegals

12 million, there is much to hate!

sister_godzilla

If you don't know the difference between illegal and legal, then I can't help you.

You need to figure it out for yourself.

By the way, I think minimum wage is killing us. If employers were allowed to hire Americans at lower wages, they wouldn't try to get the illegals to work for them.

Cynthia E

I totally agree with Susan. Its not a matter of hating anyone much less immigrants. Well over most of the population's ancestors were immigrants at one time (I'm German, Irish & Indian). Its a matter of being illegal immigrants. They might be working and doing jobs that others would turn their noses up at, but in the long run, we are paying for them to be here. They are getting special benefits because they are illegals. If any immigrant wants to come to this country, just do it the legal way!

parkermbg

this country is built on immigration, but until recently immigrants tried to assimilate into their adopted country, ya know- learn the language, pay taxes and social security etc.not be a drain on our system. It really fries me to see a new immigrant student getting free lunches while getting dropped off at school in a bmw or mercedes. They have money for a cell phone but expect my taxes to feed them.
I know that our system needs to be fixed, i really don't expect to get any social security when i retire because of the various abuses allowed by the current cracks in the system. America has an international reputation for free handouts.

i hate the abuse and flaws of our system, but i genuinely have no problem with anyone who pulls their weight in our society.

We hate you because YOU IGNORE OUR LAWS. Get the hell out of our country.
