What makes people dislike immigrants so much?
Answer:
I'm sorry to hear that hapens to you. Remember though: you are outnumbered 500 to 1 by illegals.
Bigotry.
Yes I'm a legal hispanic too, but I think people's anger are towards the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants that flood across the border, which I understand. As long as you're a loyal American like most legal immigrants they would have no reason to dislike once they get to know you. Unless you're part of La Raza, just the concept of creating "Greater Mexico" is treasonous
It is because the majority of illegal immigrants are from Mexico. And there are just SO MANY illegal immigrants from Mexico that people just decide without asking.
congrats on being here legally i thank you. for the illegals they need to do what you did. how would you feel if you got bumped out of your spot coming here legally because all the people here already that are illegal got amnesty and you couldnt come after all??
oh we do Chiquita to my way of thinking if your not hear legally id kick your butt back across any damn border you want to become a American do it legal same as my peppier did coming across the Canadian border cause you sneak across that just show,s me the only thing your hear for is the us dollar
Well, since almost 80 percent of the illegal immigrants that are in this country are from Mexico, I think that will tell you why you are treated the way you are.
Is it right? Not on your life. But don't blame everything on the Americans that assume you are illegal. I think a large part of the blame falls onto the shoulders of the ones that are here illegally, for they are the ones earning you that stereotype.
The majority of illegal immigrants are Mexican.
I understand it does suck. My best friend is Mexican.
GEEZE, this has been asked AND ANSWERED so many times. People don't dislike immigrants. They dislike ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS (they are breaking the law so they are criminals)!
You are totally wrong about the Americans complaints. We do complain about the illegals from other countries. However if you have Mexicans making up about 95% of illegals, people will complain more about the Mexican due to the numbers!
I'll tell you why. it's because no one country has INVADED us like mexico has and no one country has stripped our services dry like mexican illegals have...thats your honest answer...oh, and others have the decency to assimilate and LOVE this country
oh, and no one hated hispanics..at least not before this invasion, anyway
and what do you legal mexican-americans do to STOP the illegals from coming...do you put them in a house with you? do you help them cross the border by giving them money? what is your roll in stopping or helping them break our law and creat hatred for mexico
We are being inundated with mexicans, we cant assimilate them as fast as they are coming into the country. Immigrants have always had problems till they assimilate and lately immigrants don't want to assimilate they want to maintain their own culture and that wont work we will be at each others throats if this continues.
Most Mexicans work in the farms and are cheap labor. They use up our tax money without paying taxes. Also SOME cheat the system and make all other races made at them. While Asians and Europeans usually hold higher jobs and contribute more to society. Now I am not saying this is how it is everytime. This is just how I have seen it.
Xenophobia is a vicious circle in the USA.
Thank you. I'm disgusted by this attitude as well. As far as I can tell, it's ignorance that causes what you're seeing.
People dislike immigrants because most of them are ILLEGAL
Because some people are insecure about themselves so they have to make themselves feel better about their short comings. It is sad to see people like yahoo user Carolyn n have hate in their heart. What a waste of a good heart turned bitter. Everything you do and say has consequences. I'm a firm believer of what comes around goes around. You will have to pay for you actions in this life or the next. Love not hate. God bless you and everyone even us Mexicans.
