If some people hate America so much, why do they live here?

All the people of the USA are descended from IMMIGRANTS some LEGAL, some ILLEGAL. Except the 100% Native Americans. The USA won the land they think we stole, then paid for the same land. If the people who were Mexican didn't want to be U.S. American citizens they were given the option to to stay or go back to Mexico. We have laws to control illegal immigrants now,(although not recently enforced). It is necessary to prevent too many people coming into the USA too fast.\nphotofemale810 is asking a legitimate question. They(those ILLEGAL people doing the protests and demanding rights they don't HAVE) DO NOT respect the USA when they fly the flag of the very country they left due to low wages and bureaucratic greed. They do NOT respect the USA when they call the citizens filthy names, when it is those very citizens who pay and have paid (since they worked their first job) taxes which supports the very welfare assistance programs the protesters ABUSE. If those people are so"strong" and "hardworking" and have any "pride" they would go back to their own country and make it better for their children and their grandchildren. How can those children/grandchildren grow up to respect their ancestors when they came here illegally, protested, demanded rights that weren't theirs and turned their backs on their very own country and heritage? Where is the pride in that? They need to get strength from their fellow man in their OWN country and fight and protest THERE.

But of course I see them here everyday criticizing our way of living saying that we are liberals, but yet still stay here because there country is not advanced enough to provide them with enough money to survive and they are still blaming us while they want our standard of living. But I guess that is what you get when you have a lot of ignorant people, and religious fanatics that cannot ameliorate their country on their own because they are too close minded, then they come here to hate a modernize civilization, and they still want to remain barbarians.

With all due respect, you're a little off in your perspective.  The GOP may be guilty of many things, but hating America is definitely not one of them.  You would be closer to the mark if you said they love America with an almost fanatical air.  It's usually the Dems who are saying things along the lines of how embarrassed they are with the country, or how they don't like our system.  Rethink your perspective, read just about all of the posts on this site, and you'll see that I'm right.

LMAO . I saw it.  Many of them live a dual life .. . Hate America, but Want to Live Here. Makes about as much sense as the rest of their views.

America is an amazing country and the rest of the world hates us for it. We have more guns than people, every race, religion and language spoken in the world right here in one spot and we don't have the problems these other countries have (think about that). We have the capability to completely destroy each other and we don't. Somehow Americans get along much better with each other then the rest of the world. Sure we have racism and disagreements but no civil war/massive riots(France). Why? Other countries speak the same language and have the same religion yet they are blowing up markets, burning each other and cutting of heads (notice no guns are used in those crimes). I'm not sure why we are different but we are and I wish the rest of the world would give us some credit for how we (the citizens-not our government) conduct ourselves.

That's good to hear, enough countries hate us already and to be honest, i dont ever think to myself " who doesnt like America" i instead think "who does like American". We are really hated thanks to our government when really Americans themselves (most) are very nice family people.

Because Americans are more ignorant, and far more arrogant than Europeans.  Americans hate because people are different without first seeing if the hate is warranted or even if the basis of that hate is valid.  Hate is part of American culture and has been since the first settlers hated the Native Americans, through to the French, Irish, English, Germans, Japanese, Italians, Blacks, and now, just any old immigrant.

Of course everyone hates North Americans - we forgive other countries' debts to us, we send them help when they are attacked by other contries, we send help when they have natural disasters, we allow people from all over the world to come live here and live off the tax dollars of those born here, we should definitely stop doing all of those things!  As someone said above, that's very self-centered of us!

They hate America and the west in general for its support for Israel. They believe Israel, christians, americans, etc.. are all infidels. They are driven by a fanatical religion called islam. And the "peaceful ones" don't speak out or do anything, and they only get angry when someone insults islam.\n\nAnd yes, many "normal" citizens hate USA. They are very anti-american. Most of them are fanatics with islam. In Iran, there are days where they all parade in streets and scream "death to america!" over and over. Are you telling me thats just "some" of the people?\n\nbut Iraq hasn't been very anti-american lately, so may be in the future pro-americanism will spread across there and a more peaceful verson of islam will be created? ( I think theres already one, and it'll probably get more popular, don't forget that christianity and judasisim were pretty vicious religions when they began)\n\n"But most of these Muslim people are family-oriented, peaceful people."\nThe countries don't even have civil rights. women are treated awfully and theres blatant anti-israel and anti-american propaganda there.\n\n\n"If your family members were killed, your house was destroyed, you had no future, you could not travel, and your country was occupied by foreigners intent on taking your resources, would you be inclined to display a smile and say, "have a nice day?"\n\nFor one, if your family members were killed in Iraq (if they were citizens there) they were probably involved with al-quieda. \n\n2) Foreigners taking their resources? Ameriac hasn't stolen any oil, explain why the oil is so high. Saddam hussein took their resources and spent the money all on himself and left the people in poverty. WMDs or not, it was enough to take that phyco out. \n\n3) And, Iraq is not an official republic government. USA has made it clear that they would leave any time Iraq asks them to (Iraq has said they want them to stay until the jobs done).\n\nIMO, I would rather have my country occupied with a nation seeking to free me from an insane dictator than living under the guy for years to come.

Most of them don't hate America; they only loath the US foreign policy, which they believe is bullish and unfair.  So, don't generalize. Of course, there are still some who hate America no matter what but they are the exception (just like there are Americans who hate other countries or even the rest of the world, no matter what).

I don't believe some of them actually hate the country.  I think their hatred is more towards the government.  But that's just my opinion.

I myself do not feel anyone should leave America for their free speech, but when they bash America so much and so hard it seems they don't want to be here. It all just hurts so much!!

American people are like people anywhere, some great ones and some losers.  Their politicians get them in a lot of trouble though ... but then, that is much like politicians everywhere.\n\nThe main problem with some, not all,  Americans is that they think the rest of the world wants to be like them, which makes people dislike them.  Some Americans don't seem to understand that the rest of the world really doesn't want to be like them.

I don't think that a lot of Americans hate their country. I personally love my country and I'm thankful every day for everything we have been given and the opportunities we have, that other countries don't have and the sacrafices that had to be made so we could get to this point.\n\nI think the problem is that no matter what, Americans will never be happy. I think that you could give about 90% of Americans everything they ever dreamed of and they would still have a complaint. Our country is beginning to spin out of control and I think the American people are starting to turn on their own country, I think it is a very sad situation.\n\nI think Americans are mostly mad about the way our country is being led, the political system and how things are operating. Everyone sits and complains about how bad of a job Bush is doing, why don't they take some of that energy and support their country, just once. They hate Clinton when he was office and I'm sure every president prior to that and will continue to hate those that come. There is oging to be problems in every presidency, it can't be avoided, no one is perfect, but Americans will never be happy, that is the way they are. I may not agree with everything that Bush is doing, but I'm proud to live in my country, so I'm going to support my county, not try to fight it with everything else we have going on. Bush was faced with a very bad situation when he came in to office, it is easy to say now that he is doing a bad job now and is an awful president, but we will never know what Clinton, or any other person could have done in this situation. \n\nI look at our country and the people in it. I'm beginning to think that it is going to be Americans that cause the downfall of the United States, not terrorists or anyone else for that matter. We are losing so man people each day that are fighting for our country, but all the Americans want to do is complain and put down the leader of their country. I think some people need a reality check and need to decide where they want their priorities!
