Is illegal immigration a "White vs Brown" thing (Whites vs Hispanics)?
Answer:
No, all the pro illegal people are just using the racism card, because there is nothing else that sounds remotely valid that they can use to justify that ILLEGAL immigration is in fact against the law. I personally think that it's a last resort that can sound like a good argument in any situation when someone is clearly in violation of some sort of rule or law. i.e. I got pulled over for drinking because the cop saw that I was black, or how about Yeah I was speeding but he only pulled me over because I'm asian. Or, The only reason I got arrested for arson is because I'm white. As I said it's a poor excuse when you are guilty and you have no argument, so voila, there's the race card. I wish these people could understand that this issue has nothing to do with race. Ask anyone who actually knows facts about the vast negative aspects of illegal immigration, and you will find that they are opposed from any illegal immigration. Asian, hatian, puerto rican, Canadian, anywhere. The whole point is that they violated border laws, and need to be dealt with. I mean if it's okay for everyone to sneak in without using the proper channels of becoming a citizen, why not just let everyone just come and go as they please. What are these same people going to say when someone sneaks over and brings the deadly bird flu over? No one ever see's the true aspect of things until something major happens.
I'm so sick of this race card issue. I'm mixed, and I am 100% opposed to illegal immigration. There are even legal mexican groups opposed to illegal immigration. What is their argument in regards to them. Are they racist too? They need to get a real argument. And quit using the race card to cop out.
its a my tax dollars paying for them versus their not for paying s.hi.t... color has nothing to do with it.. i hate when the race card is used .. always the last resort when there is nothing else to stand on.
you wrong is not white vs brown
is white and brown vs US immigration law
Did you know that the word "Hispanic" means coming form a Spanish speaking country. It has nothing to do with race.
It basically means people coming from a Spanish speaking country, it has nothing to do with race.
Also, 81% of the Puerto Rican and 37% of the Cuban populations are white, this is according to the CIA worldbook of facts.
Of the over 35 million Hispanics counted in the Federal 2000 Census, 47.9% identified as white (termed "white Hispanic" by the Census Bureau); 42.2% "Some other race"; 6.3% Two or more races; 2% Black or African American; 1.2% American Indian and Alaska Native; 0.3% Asian; and 0.1% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander [30]. Note that even among those Hispanics who reported one race only, most would also possess at least some ancestral lineage from one or more other races, despite the fact that only 6.3% reported as such. (This is also applicable to the Non-Hispanics counted in the U.S. Census, although maybe in less proportion.)
chulapanama- i was using the U.S Census as a source, which can be easily looked up.
Unfortunately the "Immigrant" groups have made it into a race issue...You are right, I am not racist...heck my wife is a legal Colombian immigrant, and we paid all the money to make her legal...my wife has stated the obvious...these groups are not for all Illegal Immigrants, but the Mexican Illegal Immigrant...I have found whenever a group does not have a valid argument for their cause, they play the race card...
I'm with you! Illegal is wrong...period
It's much more complex than that.And I really didn't know if you noticed this,many of those advocacy groups have ulterior motives also. Dear Lili,just because most Hispanics choose that they're white for the Census bureau,doesn't mean they're white.I know people from a certain Caribbean country who are darker than me who always check white Hispanic on all applications.
You are right, they are wrong!!! It's about "i l l e g a l" immigration. Legal immigrants are welcome, illegal ones must be deported.
It's not a racial thing because not all illegals are non-white. Why should my tax $$$$ be used to support people who do not pay taxes? And when you come here LEARN THE LANGUAGE! Like all our ancestors did.
It's right vs. wrong. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE!!!!
The pro-illegals always pull out the race card when they have no legitimate argument. They call us racists and bigots because we don't want the illegal here.
Illegal immigration is only about our laws. It doesn't matter where they come from. If they are here illegally, they are breaking our laws and are thus CRIMINALS. They sponge off the taxpayer, destroy or schools and health care system.
I am sick about the fact that our government refuses to enforce our laws. Now the illegals are basically saying we are here to stay so you better get used to it. THIS IS WRONG!
That's the exact spin they're trying to put on the issue.
It couldn't be farther from the truth.
Next time you're discussing the "racist" issue with one of these illegal immigrant advocates, get them to translate "La Raza" for you and explain it and the accompanying motto:
"For the Race, everything. For those outside the Race, nothing".
Gee, kinda makes ya wonder who's the real racist, huh?
Has nothing to do with race. Has everything to do with lack of respect for the laws of this country and the burden on the taxpayers. A star for you for tackling the race issue.
No it is not a "white vs. brown" thing at all. It is the principle behind the fact that they can come to America legally. We pay tax dollars into there welfare that they take from a legal/born america that deserves it just as much if not more.
Nope, its a legal vs. illegal issue. Its right there in the wording...Illegal immigrant. I don't care about the rest of it, what color they are or anything especially because a lot of them are eastern European, and those people are as white as bed sheets. If they are legal, I say enjoy yourself, find a job, and support your family. If they are illegal, I say get the hell out! Thanks and have a nice day.
That's just one of there losing arguments. It is not a white vs brown its us against anyone that is here illegally. they are trying to get any sympathy to help there losing cause.
Four races in the world, black, white, red and yellow.
Most people have all four in them.
Hispanics are in the white race.
what is wrong is calling people "white" or "brown". WE are all human beings no matter the color of your eyes, eyebrows or skin.
LET ME MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR YOU
I L L E G A L OK!!
look it is not that we are racist but illegal is illegal do you know how many ant to have the same consideration when they break the law O K.
IMMIGRATION IS LEGAL
our nation is litter ally immigrants OK geeze!!
I'm dark skinned brown OK but I'm not for special circumstances for illegal immigrants when i have friends that come from Europe and cant jump a fence or swim for it. lastly
i think what i making it hard for illegals is that they are demanding stuff
DEMANDING DO NT MAKE ME CUSS !!!
ALL THE BLACKS JEWS AND WHITES THAT MARCHED FOR CIVIL RIGHTS AND OT BEAT AND KILLED !!!!!1
YOU NEVER SEE A HISPANIC PERSON COMING FORWARD AND SPEAKING UP FOR EQUAL RIGHTS UNTIL THIS STUFF I'M 45 NEVER SEEN IT HAPPEN EXCEPT FOR A VERY FEW SOME ILLEGAL HISPANICS EQUATE THIS EFFORT TO CIVIL RIGHTS NOPE PSYCHE!!
GOD BLESS MY NATIVE LAND THE U.S.A.
I am against illegal immigration but you do have to admit there are a lot of racist on the anti illegal side of the table. Also many people were not aware the now infamous Duka brothers were illegals and most people say because they were white. I am not saying they are racist but race does play a factor in it.
Not all illegal aliens are brown.
Not all brown people are illegal aliens.
Therefore illegal immigration is NOT a white versus brown thing.
Period.
Illegal aliens from over 100 countries were deported last year from the U.S. The overwhelming MAJORITY of illegal aliens in the U.S. are brown, so it stands to reason that the overwhelming majority of those deported are brown. Simple math.
It is a LEGAL versus ILLEGAL issue.
No. It's not a race issue. It is right vs. wrong. Open border and illegal alien (THEY ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS) advocates play the race card because otherwise they don't have a leg to stand on.
They use race to distract us from the real issue, and that is that our country is being invaded by millions of criminals.
It is legal vs illegal
It is wrong vs right
The illegal advocates use the race card because they have seen people back down to people like Jesse Jackson and Al Shaprton. It has worked for them. When those two men start screaming racist people back down and throw money at them. The illegals and their activist see this and are now using this method. It works nobody wants to be called a racist. Look at this site the pro amnesty / pro illegal use the raciest card all the time. I'm a raciest because I want these people to go home and come back legally. I want these people to pay taxes. I want these people to assimilate.
People in our government rather be politically correct and liked than to have a back bone and stand up for what is right.
u kno what. how is it racist that people are against ILLEGAL things? their breaking the law how stupid can ppl get? i agree with u its a right and wrong thing it has nothing to do with race.. nothing AT ALL.. it all has to do with the law.. it is illegal what they are doing if they wanna get green cards then all power to them but this whole illegal immigration thing has REALLY pissed me off .. everyone shud not give them places to live,work go to school or get medical assistance and then they wud be forced to go back to where the hell they came from..
I have wondered about this for years. I now live in a border town. In my trade (I do woodwork on mega-yachts), illegals form a substantial part of the work force. Mind you, that we work for mega-millionaires, who can clearly afford to employ US citizens. I am friends with many of these illegals, some are really good guys. These guys just waltz back and fourth across the border, with relative ease.
One of the issues to me are the "bad" criminals, who just waltz back and forth across the border with relative ease.
They cross the border, steal a car (or whatever) and bring it to Mexico. It is common. They easily bring drugs, or whatever the hell they want into this country.
There is absolutely no border security of any relevance.
Every other country has border laws, and tries to adhere to them, why should we be different.
The fact is that the Mexican economy is extremely dependent on every illegally earned dollar that is sent "home".
The only people, that I know, who claim racism, have families in Mexico, or some other country.
Why should we be the meal ticket for a corrupt country anyway? In the age of "terrorism", we need to take a long hard look at how many "freebies" we shall offer the enemy.
The pro illegal advocates have no way to defend illegal so they throw the race card out. They are the ones trying to make it a race issue not the anti illegals.
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. America love it or leave it. Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Leave it Now. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
The problem isn't White Americans being racist.The problem is that Mexico is a poor backwards third world country that can't support it's own people.
