Would it be racist to not hire illegal aliens?
Answer:
NO THAT WOULD BE PATRIOTIC
no it would not be racist. It just would not be cost effective. Cheap labor means more profit.
No.(notice the "period" at the end)
It would be illegal for you to hire an illegal alien so race really doesn't factor into it.
No, it would not only not be racist, but you would be abiding by the law. It is a felony under Section 8 USC 1324 A and 274A of the INA to hire, harbor or help illegal immigrants. So you don't really need any more definition. You just need to obey the law and sue the government when they fail to uphold it.
It would be illegal to hire illegal immigants, so race has nothing to do with it. It is about the law. If you base the hiring or not hiring practice on RACE, then it is racist. If you base it on legal status, then no, it is not racist because you would not hire anyone of any race who was here illegally.
It is supposed to be illegal
if you don't hire them because of their race that would be racism. if you don't hire them because they are illegal citizens then you are obeying the law.
No.
No. Hiring illegal aliens is against the law but it would be racist not to hire a legal immigrants if he/she qualified for the job
No
It would not be racist it would be law abiding. The public definition of racist/racism is whatever suits their purpose at the time, good luck with that.
Hiring Illegals is against the law. Being a racist is not.
Not if your criteria is the ILLEGAL part.
And in answer to the idea that it is cheaper to hire illegals, I say how much would you spend on attorney fees if you get caught?
Maybe you should be looking for a definition of 'illegal aliens'. I'm pretty sure you'll find that it is not a race at all.
No, it would be illegal but still the government knows they work under the books.
NO - because they [any nation] need to obtain a green card to legally work in the states.Even the IRS backs illegals working in the USA.
see dictionary.com
Illegal would be the important word here.. Racist? No. Acting in the best interest of your company? Yes.
no
No, because by hiring ILLEGAL aliens you are putting your business at risk (of fines or worse). However it would be racist to not hire someone simply because they were of a particular race, if they were able to legally work for you.
Cheap labor is no excuse, wouldn't it be more "cost effective" to rob a bank then? IT'S AGAINST THE LAW!!! Does anybody other than myself out there still at least TRY to obey the laws of this land? If we don't agree with certain laws we have ways and methods to LEGALLY change them. They would NOT be racists, they would be LAW ABIDING citizens!!
No it would not be racist not to hire illegal aliens. But if you're just thinking of a specific race.then yes it is racist.
Not at all. You would be following the laws and helping legal families (of all races) put food on the table.
Not hiring illegal aliens is NOT being racist. There are MANY different nationalities of illegal immigrants in the U.S. today. If you are looking for the public definition of racism, then why don't you ask THAT question? Racism in its most unrefutable example is Hitler. Whenever I need to define racism, that's where I start and apply the "question for today" against what Hitler demonstrated, with horrific accuracy. After the Irish potato famine, there was a large influx of Irish people in to the U.S. Shops in New York and other east coast cities had signs posted "N I N A" (no Irish need apply). That, I would also consider racism, and a more public form of it. Apartheid in South Africa is a huge example of racism. 10% white ruling the 90% black population, and many rights, as well as many deaths, were based on skin color. This is a very publicly defined example of racism.
No.
What is it about the word 'illegal' that people have trouble with?
Why would abiding by the law be racist? Why would refusing to break the law by not hiring illegal aliens and so put yourself in jeopardy be racist?
Playing the race card is an excuse to twist people into doing things that are wrong and illegal.
how bout you don't hire illegal aliens because it's illegal to hire illegal aliens.
It's illegal to hire illegal immigrants. You will get a MUCH harsher punishment than THEY will. YOU get a record to carry around with you! Then good luck finding another job.
I think at this point Americans have sat back and we did the politically correct thing by saying nothing. Now WE are the minorities and the illegals are drinking up the healthcare and taking over the land. Soon, we will have nothing left...not even our language.
So do us all a favor and hire Americans?
No, but I'm sure someone might call you racist.
It would not be racist. You will save money by hiring them, but if they get deported you have to look for replacements.
