Do you think wealth affects someones position on illegal immigration.?
Answer:
Yes, the wealthy are more inclined to support illegal immigration, although some are patriotic and are against illegal immigration. They want cheap maids, nannies, gardeners, landscapers, pool boys, car washers and other servants for their mansions. After all, you don't expect the wealthy to wash their own cars or mow their own lawns do you?
The wealthy, especially president Shrub, Tad Kennedy and Senator John McAmnesty do not have contact with the poor, peasants who flood American towns and cities with 3 or 4 families living in one house. The rich are protected in their walled neighborhoods or giant mansions where the nearest neighbor is a half-mile away. The rich also want cheap labor for the companies that they run and whose stock they own. Whatever is good for business the wealthy will support.
The working class are the ones who get screwed over the most by allowing huge numbers of immigrants into this country, especailly the poor illegal aliens. Wages of working class people have declined in the 20 years since the last Amnesty bill passed, when you adjust for inflation. These working class Americans are the ones who are most likely to be for deporting the illegal alien invaders. Except for the Latino working class members, many of whom support amnesty for illegals.
Sure it helps keep their pockets fat.
no I think education and knowledge do
yes
The filthy rich are for it because it's they and their buddies that profit from it
Welfare recipients are for it because it's their neighbors
But the rest of us are vehemently against paying out of our noses for illegals
I think so. Many of the wealthy make a profit from it and they aren't forced to live in a poor area filled with illegals so the negatives don't effect them.
no. my wealth has never affected the fact that laws are laws.
of course
Sure it does. They hire them as nannies, gardeners, poolmen,
Housekeepers, etc. They don't want them to go. They might have to pay someone some real money.
And they can afford to live in nicer neighborhoods where they don't have to deal with them.
Most of the wealthy are the ones hiring the damn illegals! They could care less about their fellow Americans. They only care about getting richer and making the poor poorer. Do not think there is a middle class anymore!
To be honest with you i think you are wrong. it doesnt matter if you are wealthy or not. what matters what you do with your life, if you own a big company and you need cheap labor you are for immigration even you are filthy rich. if you are wealthy from winning a loterry or like alot of wealthy people that for some reason didnt work for their money may be aginst immigration. But then you have the hard working guy who earnes poverty level wages he is upset at the immigrant they are taking his job.
Hope you understand that.
Yeah. I would have to agree. There are a few others who have put too much emphasis on sympathizing with the illegals personal problems to see the problems it causes to have them here. Which is also true of sudden mass immigration in general. However, I would have to agree that most of the people in favor of immigration and sympathetic to the illegals are middle class or higher. They believe in the American dream and want to share it with everyone. They assume that all Americans either already have it or can have it if they were more industrious, intelligent, persistent or whatever. They don't understand that the same problems that drove the illegals here also exist for our poor and working class. It's just that places like Mexico have a larger poor class and smaller working class than us. There are also many that see them as voters, cheap labor, and ways to manipulate the labor market and laws. They get something out of putting a wedge between the top and bottom...the oppostite of those that would be happier with more of us being in the middle.
Wealth definitly effects their position.
(1) amnesty is more money for the wealthy.
(2) Illegals do not live in the exclusive areas where the wealthy do so they are insulated from the effects they have on the community.
(3) for the most part, the wealthy could care less how it effects the folks that have to live with its effects on a daily basis.
I do not think it is wealth per say I think it is how sheltered you are growing up, after all some wealthy people started out working class. If you have never been around working class people it is not difficult to ignore their problems. Paris Hilton is a perfect example of this (sorry to pick on Paris but she is a beaming example of this type of person).
In my opinion everyone should know how their neighbors across the street as well as their neighbors across the tracks. If it hurts any part of American society I am against it, end of story. My time could be better served helping the impoverished citizens of the US, many parts of some states live below the poverty level but I never see people falling all over themselves to help out our neighbors down in Mississippi or Arkansas, etc. We need to make education a priority for our children and make sure no child is left behind in reality and not just a catch phrase. THEN we work on other countries problems, and if we can manage to do both at the same time... wonderful.
We all were very generous in the 80s when they discussed this before, because the HUGE impacts hadn't hit us yet. The wealthier are still there. Their kids, if they do live in 'impacted' areas, go to private school. They aren't concerned with HMO quality or whether they can afford health insurance at all or whether their parents will get any benefit when they retire from the services they have been paying into all of their lives. At least until proposed H1b expansion goes through, they aren't really hit on the job side.
So they are sure the opposition is from nasty people who can't stand 'brown people' around.
Unfortunately, these wealthy include our representatives in Congress who have a duty to know better.
Of course they are, if they hire them.
If they want to keep wages depressed so they can increase their own profits.
I'm against illegal immigration but does being poor make people stupid? For some I think it does.
