Why are people against immigration?
Answer:
Most people aren't against immigration. They're against people immigrating here, then living off Welfare...
Because they forget that this country was founded by immigrants.
Did you mean - "why are people against immigration, except when they want a new roof?"
people ain't against immigration. illegal yes people have a problem with. there is a right way and a wrong way. what is so hard to see and understand that. illegal ones are the ones i have a problem with.
I think the word you're looking for is ILLEGAL immigration. God Bless you.
People are against illegal immigration, not immigration. You'll find a surprising number of people who are against other illegal acts, as well.
They are not against immigration, they are against illegal immigration. They actually should be against illegal employers, but then it really doesn't matter what people are for or against, Bush and Cheney only listen to billionaires. Our opinions don't count.
For the 20,000th time we are against illegal immigration!
Legal immigration is fine.Illegal is that ILLEGAL!
ellen,
America was once a land that had a lot of room and could absorb a lot of people. Times have changed. My generation was asked to help keep the population from growing too fast. I did my part, I have no children. Now, because some large companies want a cheap labor force, we are told to throw all that out and let in the cheap labor even if it lowers the standard of living and quality of life. Anything else I can answer for you?
The vast majority support people immigrating.
But they do have a problem with illegal immigration
and with too much legal immigration for the economy to support.
I don't know anyone who is "against immigration" just mass illegal immigration. Why?
Maybe it's because there are 20,749,556 illegals in the United States. Or maybe it's because $21,896,418,966 has been wired to Mexico since January of 2006.
Perhaps it's the nearly $400 BILLION (not million, BILLION with a B) of tax payer money that has been spent on social services for illegals. Or...the $1,386,945,577 we've spent on incarcerating illegals.
Or maybe it's just the nearly 10 million skilled jobs illegals have stolen from American citizens.
surreal statement. Not true.
I have no problem with LEGAL immigration it is the ones that are coming in illegally that anger me.
For over 40,000 years, humans have lived in tribal communities and lands. Suddenly, all the tribes, all the different faiths, races, languages and belief systems are bumping into each other because this world is now a global community. Thanks to mass communications with satellites and televisions and telephones and the Internet, thanks to railroads and airplanes and cruise ships, thanks to a globally complex and interconnected economy, there are no more new frontiers, so to say, to which people can sail off like pilgrims to form new governments or nations and start afresh. We are in the midst of a most amazing moment in human history when we really have no choice but to stick around and face our messes, our problems, our ignorances, our fears, our injustices and unhealthy paradigms. It's a very scary time for people who have been smug in their "one-and-only-correct" set of virtues, their "one-and-only-correct" language, their "one-and-only-correct" way of doing things. Most of the rise of civilization has been on the backs of exploited second-class citizens or slaves. Naturally, most of the disgruntlement in the world today is among those people who want the exploitation and the "old ways" to continue. Those ways won't work, though, any more. That's a bummer for the bigots. But, it's truly a hopeful time and there is a real possiblity for prosperty for all. It's just going to be stressful until some of us adjust and learn some manners. All humans should be treated decently.
Depends what country(IES) All nations have immigration issues. On the other hand when it's done Illegally, it becomes a crime against the country perpetrated
IMMIGRATION...is controlled by all countries.
IMMIGRANTS.....apply for authorization to immigrate to "x" country
ILLEGAL ALIEN ...is term used to describe individuals who enter a country WITHOUT authorization. These individuals choose to BREAK the defined LAWS governing ENTRY and residence.
Illegal entry is a crime subject to punishment.
.....People are not against immigration :People are against Illegal aliens as they chose to break the law to achieve their desires.
(same rational used by the car thief who steals a car because he wants/needs it..)
By the way, There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant!!! the term illegal immigrant is an oxymoron (immigrants HAVE legal status)
You are misguided. I don't know of people who are against immigration. I only know of those who are against ILLEGAL immigration. As someone else here said, this question has been asked exactly as you asked it at least 100 times already! Before you ask your question, you should search it here first. If it has already been asked, then you should just peruse the answers the question generated the other 99 times it was asked. However, I think you knew very well what you were saying here when you asked this question and you also knew very well the answers you would get. Did you have fun, then? I hope so.
i'm all for legal immigration, not illegals.
Condemning the frightened working-class white guys organizing citizens' militias along our southern border, or vilifying those who listen to Limbaugh and are convinced that "liberals" are in some sort of collective plot to undermine America may feel good, but it doesn't address the real problem. Progressives will be most effective when we reach across the divides created by Bush, Specter, et al, and point out how this is really all about corporate conservative efforts to replace the American middle class with a workforce of "working poor" Americans and powerless illegal immigrants (or powerless "amnestied" workers) - all so CEOs can fatten their paychecks and further reward the "conservative" investor class.
Only then will Mexico and other countries to our south have an incentive to get their own houses in order, and will our middle class begin to recover decent bargaining power and the living wages that accompany it.
There is plenty of people for illegals. Most of you anti's refuse to acknowledge them.Unless they are like me and could care less what you think. Illegals ROCK. WE need more of them.
Americans are not against immigration!!!! Americans know that the US is a melting pot.
Americans are against ILLEGAL immigration!!!! If you want to live and work in the US then you should become an American citizen like all the millions of other immigrants did when they came to the US to get a better life!
Do you know any LEGAL immigrants? You know, people who waited years, and paid alot of fees to move here and function in America society the right and legal way?Why don't you ask them what they think about the illegal invasion.
ILLEGAL immigration for the millionth time on Y Answers is the problem. Not immigration.
Let me answer in a way that you might understand. If you are having a party and you invite all the people on your block but the guy you don't like. Well he wants to come anyway and crashes you party do you are don't you have a right to tell him to leave??????
Legal immigration, right sized not to strain our schools and social services, is fine. Illegal immigration and mass immigration of poor people too poor to pay for their family's education and services means a huge drain on the services we fund and need for ourselves. Illegal immigration is ruining our children's schools and futures.
