Is this part of Yahoo questions racist? ( immigration)?
Answer:
yes and when soemone doesn't agree with you they can report you and then there is another big mess...........oh_hell
There shouldn't be any racist anything on here but I agree.
yes!!!
it's unbelievable how bitter Americans are...
it's would seem like all Americans want is to exploit people
all legitamate workers should be given citizenship
otherwise, let the Americans do their own dirty, low paying work
It isn't racist, AND IT SHOULD NOT BE. It's a political issue that needs to be solved. We have many enemies who wish us harm that have nothing to do with racial issues. We have open borders that are being breached everyday by illegals. Many are looking for jobs that most Americans wouldn't take so they can care for their children. But, there are a few, I'm sure, who would love to see the US suffer a few more 9-11's, maybe in YOUR OWN HOMETOWN. The issue is homeland security.
Not exactly! It's just open discussion, it's just another topic that interests a few friends: open mind approach.
Yes being called lazy and fat american is definately racist. Being called illegal because people came in without papers or permission to work is not racism. Being illegal is a crime. I don't care what the nationality is working in the united states of American with out being a citizen or having the proper paper work makes one illegal. A rapist is a rapist the rapist might think calling him/her that is racist however it's what they are.
Yes, but There seems to be a lot of racist on Answers period. The thing is there is a huge grey zone in immigrations as well.
Example. Americano stated that if AMericans raise their kids the Hispanic way we wouldn't be so messed up. I agree with him initially, then I got offended, because I consider it racist, becaue he is basically saying that his culture is better than ours (While he is in America). I don't think personally its that offensive though. I was influenced by his more volatile statements earlier. I know I've posted some in these areas that might raise eyebrows, but I try not to be that bad. You could check out my questions in my profile, I haven't made that many. Truthfully I am right now fence sitting on the subject. I just want to start intelligent arguements. Unfortunately I see more of partyline ranting though. Don't think to badly about us AMericans. Notice that few racist posting comes from California, which has the longest history. Most come from areas that the immigrants are relatively new. Although some of the states they move into, I would avoid.
Not really no.
No the topic of Immigration has nothing to do with race and everything to do with national soveriegnty and the people who say anti illegal supporters are racist are just reaching for something to gripe about because there is no foothold for them being that it is illegal to be here illegally
Yes, indeed there are....especially pertaining to people from Mexico....
lots of racism on here...just read the responses to your question..anti illegal is one thing but they paint all hispanics with the same brush, blame them for all the crime in the US etc..
THEY TREAT ALL IMMIGRATION QUESTIONS AS IF THEY ARE ABOUT "ILLEGALS"
Nothing racist about the truth.

Not really! I think Americans are just tired of supporting illegal immigrants and they want their voices heard, it doesn't have to do with racism, most are just trying to protect their country before it is totally destroyed and overpopulated.
No. Because the pro illegal crowd has no valid justification for their point of view, they cry racism. This kind of argumentative tactic is pathetic and usually used by young children.
Racist. No, I don't believe so. Illegals are from everywhere and should be deported. I am not picking out any particular country. They all need to go.
It's not a matter of being racist it's funny how when know one can back up there hot air they throw the race card there is nothing racist about the Truth about illegals it's a crime they are breaking the law.
