 Re: Anti-Immigrant Sentiment
"And out of curiosity, Chance, do you ask immigrants that you meet if they are legal, and then treat them according to their answer? This thread was not about how the government treats them, it's about how WE treat them."
I have spoken with a lot of immegrants who are Legal. They are more upset about illegals than I am. I know there are a lot of immigrants throughout the country, but there are a lot of illegal immigrants here in the southwest. If someone is here Illegally then I have absolutely no respect for them since they obviously have no respect for the country that I love. They BREAK THE LAW to get here then demand equal rights, demand that I speak their language or where they shop that people speak their language. No that is not how it works!!!
When they were marching down here in Phoenix they had to be told not to carry the mexican flag but carry the American Flag!! That should tell you something.
"It did work in the 80's"
If it worked so well in the 80's then why do we have this problem now? If we are going to continue to allow people to break our laws and then give them what they want, why have an immigration policy to being with?
"Chance, it's easy for us to be in the US and call them criminals, but they are often forced to come to this country because they have no other way to feed their family that is in some tiny village in Michoacan, or in a tenement in Warsaw. "
Blue- they are Criminals by the definition of the word. They broke a law right?
How were they forced to come to this country. If they are having tough times then THEIR government needs to do something. Why should i have to pay for them?
There is a reason that people in the southwest (including Texas) are passing laws against ILLEGALS. It is because the people are sick of it! |
