I understand the immigrants side of view, but they have to understand ours too. It's a matter of what is legal and what isn't. There is nothing to question. All countries have immigration laws. Even Americans have to go through immigration if they want to reside, work, invest,etc in another country, so what is so "racists" about applying the law?

Absolutely not! Has nothing to do with race. Canadians (white) have plenty of people living illegally in the states, though they don't flood the US. I am against ALL ILLEGAL immigration or any law breaking:\nI got this in the email today, and I wanted to share. This was a bit racist to me but had alot of truth in it:\n----------------------------------\nDear President Bush: \nI'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. \n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way? \n\nPlease let him know that I will be expecting the following: \n1. Free medical care for my entire family. \n\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. \n\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English. \n\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers. \n\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history. \n\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down. \n\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch. \n\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. \n\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. \n\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English. \n\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. \n\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws. \n\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. \n\nThank you so much for your kind help. \n\nSincerely, David M. Bresnahan

Whatever you racist panama chick! (Arrogant, too. To think of yourself as so Chula!) Don't generalize about white people...that's called racist!\n\nThe number one thing that pisses me off on this issue is that they are here illegally, but to call them illegal aliens is not politically correct, so we have to call them undocumented. ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL! \n\nThe second thing that pisses me off is that anytime a citizen who happens not to be hispanic calls for our borders to be secure and keep illegals out, we are called racist! I'm not racist...my husband was born in Mexico, our children are now a mixed breed...and I don't know of any White Supremicist that wouldn't beat me over that fact alone.\n\nThirdly, we are told that they are only here to do the jobs that no one else would do. THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE!!! My father was put out of business by them!!!! He was a private contractor/painter. They charge so little for their spray paint jobs on people's homes, they have no liscence to do contractor work and no insurance and pay no business or income taxes...their costs are lower because of these things. And do any of you know any high school students who would like a weekend/evening job but can't get one at McDonald's, etc? I do! And many other places that would have hired them in the past just don't, because they can hire undocumented ILLEGAL workers. And let's not forget that they don't come here alone...or if they do, they soon send for their family...wife and 4 or 5 or 6 kids...or maybe they just bring 2 and have the other 3 or 4 here on TAXPAYER MONEY!!!! And then we have to provide healthcare and education to them!!!!\n\nAnother thing that really pisses me off is OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS acting like these ILLEGALS are their concern insead of being concerned about middle class America...who are the ones who suffer from these people being here. At the protest downtown....MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA betrayed the city that just elected him by speaking to the crowd as if they were heroes instead of LAWBREAKERS!!! And Calif. Assemblyman FABIAN NUNEZ was right in there, too! Speaking so proudly that he was going to represent these people....THEY ARE NOT HERE LEGALLY. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. THEY ARE DEAD WEIGHT!\n\nI DO NOT NEED THEM! I mow my own grass, take care of my own kids, clean my own house, cook my own food, wash my own car, paint my own house. Don't claim that white people are the only ones complaining when they are the ones hiring them. I'm white and I'm not hiring them. I'm not benefiting from them. The only people benefiting are business owners - many of which are not white, the rich moviestars and CEO's who can afford them as nannies and gardeners and can afford to go to the car wash and out to dinner, and the rest of us have to suffer living among them and sending our kids to overcrowded failing schools!\n\nGo Ahead, call me racist...I know you want to.

I agree, go change your own government if you don't like it-\nDO NOT SNEAK in here and try to change our government. If you want to have a say in our government, follow the rules, become a LEGAL citizen and VOTE. that is how we do it here, where we sing our National Anthem in English!\nNo I AM NOT a racist. It is the ILLEGAL part of the immigrant issue that bothers me.

Its very unethical; and sadly yes some are going to lable you a racist for asking it.  \n\nHere is the question I would have posed; which is going get them to lable me a racist too I'm sure.  How unethical would it be to order them to stop coming into this country illegally and then shoot if they didn't stop?

I'm so sick of people assuming that, because I am anti-ILLEGAL immigration, that I'm racist and anti-Mexican. First of all, I'm not racist against anyone and second of all, like many people in my position, I'm against ILLEGAL immigrants from ANY country, not just Mexico. Anyone who comes to this country (no matter their country of origin) without following the legal channels is breaking the law...it's that simple. It's easy for those illegal immigrants to claim racism because it diffuses the attention away from the real problem...which is the fact that they're breaking the law everyday that they stay in our country without obtaining proper LEGAL documentation. \n\nSince when is it a bad thing to expect the citizens of this country to be law-abiding?

i have no problem with imigration as long as it is done legaly.  This country is bulit on immigration.   I feel that illegal immigrants are give to much freedom in this country.  I need a visa to go into most parts of the world and i just can not go illegaly.  If i do i am subject to much more than deportation.   I feel that it should be the same here.  I am part hispanic  (Puerto Rican)  and i take serious issue with lobbist fighting for illgal Mexican and Latin American rights and claming that ther are the views of all Hispanics.  I do not think they should be allowed to get driver licenses, work under the table and all the other issues that sorrond them

Could that be because it's illegal?

This question pops up from time to time, and the pro illegals don't seem to get it ... we're against ALL illegal immigration from ANYWHERE!  White, black, brown ... doesn't matter ....\n\nWhat's interesting though is that those who are pro illegal immigration really all seem to be pro Hispanic immigration ... I wonder if THEY would be equally happy about an influx of German street gangs?

They ARE NOT racist.  That's just another excuse illegals use to justify breaking the law.\n\nJoin the opposition of illegal immigrants\nhttp://www.illegalimmigrantprotest.com

none of them is racism in fact its respect if you ask or show interest about somebodies else culture or race of course in good understanding because every word can be misunderstanded if you want to.\nRegarding hatred of illegal immigrants thats more of patriotism or nationalism because first of all they are breaking the law. The word explains its self "ILLEGAL" it means they are already commiting crime in your country.\nI see no racism in your description

This isn't really a racists issue, it's an economical issue.One third of Mexico's GNP is from money sent back from Mexicans working in the U.S. This is untaxed money leaving the country that is slowing our economy.

I so get the point you are trying to get across......let me clear it up for those who are going to attack you!\n\n1.  Are they on welfare or working?\n2.  Are crimes committed by only "illegals" or maybe just by those with criminal minds?\n3.  Are all active gangs in the US currently monopolized by "illegal's" ?\n\nI understand valid immigration concerns.....shouldn't we let our elected officals solve or try to solve those concerns.\n\nAnd to end.....I know you are not racist darling......and I am white so thank you for adoring me......I love adoration.....I kinda like you too!\n\nPeace

What makes you think someone is automatically racist because they are anti-illegal immigration?  Illegal immigration doesn't consist of one race or ethnicity or religion, it consists of all people living in a country illegally and undocumented.  What makes you think that person doesn't just care for this country?  If that's true, then you can call me racist as well.  What about all the legal immigrants and hispanic citizens of this country who are anti-illegal immigrant?  Are they considered racist as well?  From the statistics I've read, 56% of legal hispanic citizens are pro-illegal.  So I guess the other 44% are racist, right?Seriously, people need to do research on what the definition of illegal alien means.

of corse there is racism, but when you talk about illegal immigrants that is a totally diff. subject. But I will say there name has illegal in it for a reason, and that is because they are "illegal" and there should e something done about it

Wouldn't it be tragic and racist if you were not to be accorded the same pathway of citizenship under the Senate Bill? Now the use of illegal alien term will be rampant  in relation to illegal immigrants advocates omitting "illegal" when talking about illegal immigrants- in order for lawyers to justify their case to approve someone under the amnesty bill. Technically, you're not illegal so I don't know if you will considered at all under the Bill unless you break  the terms of your student visa and become  an illegal, in its truest sense.
