Why is it when anyone questions illegal immigration they are called a rasist?

RLP

It's easier for the law breakers (illegal aliens) to get the focus off themselves and on to the people who do not want them here. Just call them "racist" to get sympathy.
Doesn't work with ME!

Because they think if they call us the big R word, it will take the focus off of the real crime.

Because we have illegal immigration season... where you shoot them to thin out the herd... like deer season

damned if I know
people can come to the USA leagaly, and contribute to society and have society contribute to them, yet millions think that they have a right to bypass the system and then expect that system to protect them.
what the USA needs is a great wall, and a reasonable quota.

Political Correctness: LET'S BAN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND GO FOR the TRUTH. Wouldn't that be a novel concept, calling a spade a spade as it were.

First of all, I wish everybody could get it through their heads that illegals are not immigrants. Illegals are aliens. Illegal immigrant is a term used by pro illegals to make it sound more like they have a right to belong here, just like they use racist to make it sound like those of us who are against illegal entry into this country are unreasonable. Both terms are political ploys, playing on words to influence simple minded people. If you are not simple minded quit using the term illegal immigrants and just consider the source when someone calls you a racist.

Racist? Last time I checked, "illegal alien" was NOT a race of people. Entering a country illegally is an act, which happens to be a crime. So we are actually against criminals, not a race of people, regardless of who commits the crime.

me too

Being Anti-Immigration is not to be considered racist .This immigration problem can be fixed so ,so fast as I have mentioned in the past . Know when you start a sentence with go back to Mexico you beaner and so on know that is when it becomes racist issue.Again being against immigration is not to be mistaken by anyone as racist.

I don't think it's racist...

Because people can't handle opinions. We have to PC. People are scared to voice a real opinion so they don't want you to either.

alberto's Parents

they do that to take your mind off the illegal part

Tegeras

Rasist, never heard of that.

Btw why can't you just do a search? I mean it's not like this question hasn't been asked a hundred times.

Chee

and pro illegals is just a term the racists use against people who are not racists.... when they forget to put the word illegal in front of the word Mexican.. that is a racist. When they talk about the 300 kids.. that's racist.. go back and read some of the questions and answers and then tell me it is about illegal immigration.

darkvale

because the biggest offenders of illegal immigration just so happens to be mexico at the moment.You will also notice they are the ones calling you a racist........it's some selfconcious thing i guess.it's bunch of bs to be called racist when illigal immigrant isn;'t a race last i checked. But yes thats why they try to pull the race card because they know their wrong and are trying to save their *** by justifying theyer being here.

Because, sadly, most of those speaking out against immigration are racists who are just using the issue as a smokescreen. Those with unbiased opposed opinions get lumped in with the bigots because they are so vastly outnumbered. It is grossly unfair. There are many valid point to be made against illegal immigration, independent of race concerns. These pitiable fools are ruining the neccessary dialog of a successful democracy.

Because that is the only thing that the illegals can come up with to say back to us LEGAL citizens. I have no problem with the legal ones that try to earn an honest living, are not on welfare, fly the American flag, speak English, and try to blend into our culture. I hate the legal ones that don't do all of those things, as well as the illegals, no matter if they learn English, work hard or not, they are ILLEGAL. If they want to be here they need to be here legally, plain and simple. Its not racist, its about if you follow the law or not.

Many illegal immigration opponents say racist things.

Alberto

Because they are.

N.J.S.

Why wouldn't it be racist?

Tell me honestly that if blond haired blue eyed people hard working (like the mexicans) people were jumping the boarder that you'd want to return them.

The only crime committed is that they're darker than you.

Norskeyenta

This world is so *** backwards. The bad guy blames the good guy . Propaganda is so widespread. Terrible.

Charly

I'm not calling no one as "racist' but You know very well if You are o not, don't lie to Your self, it will hurt You.

carey sanders

Let's see, they are discriminating against a group of people based on RACE and are trying to deport them to their country of origin. They use words such as "illegal alien" and "*******" to get their point across. WHAT would you call a person that does this?

Dave

I hadn't heard that one. But, come to think of it, most of your arguments sure sound racist. Or, at least, xenophobic.

Sitara

Because no one questioned the huddled masses, yearning to breathe free who came by the BOATLOADS to this country a century ago...

SassySista

I think people have a problem with the immigration topic because in essence.. we are all immigrants... Maybe not first generation.. but unless we are native american... someone migrated here to get us here..

The U.S has always been bragged apon as a free place, a melting pot.. ect ect ect.. and now they want to start turning people away and not giving them a chance..
