How many people actually want illegal immigrants in the united states?

Question

I asked this question because lots of people have been saying that they think we should let them come here because there just trying to make some money to send to there family or trying to make a better life for themeself ( but then when they come here some of them say how great and better there country is).But then other people say that there here to take our jobs because they work for less money or that the illegal immigrant girls or guys try to take another girl or guys husband/wife away to get citizen ship or get pregnant here so that they could stay here with there baby.

Answer 1

Many people hate immigrants, legal or illegal, no difference. But since they cannot rant against the legals they rant against the illegals

According to Mark Twain, in the XIX century, people hanged Chinese just for fun ( I am not sure if they were illegals, but they hanged them anyway )

In the 1960s, in Miami there were signs that said: "no Cubans or dogs allowed." And we were legal

According to the news, everybody commit crimes, legals, illegals, citizens, but people here make it like the illegals were the only ones

Answer 2

All of that is true...

I personally want them gone

I mean I REALLY want them gone....

Answer 3

I don't mind immigrants.  What I don't like is the "illegal" part.  I think we (the US) should forcibly send them back and not allow them back in.  They have shown a disregard for our laws that shows that they would not be the best citizens.  I also think that we should relax the rules allowing workers into the country legally.  I may not like the immigration laws but they are LAWS and should be obeyed.

Answer 4

While immigration is good as a whole, I do not want illegal immigrants in the United States. With that said, I do believe there should be a viable way for those that are already here and proving themselves contributing members to American society to become legal citizens.

Answer 5

They are the base of our economy.

You want to deport them, in the middle of recession? The economy will collapse. Companies will have to raise wages to meet the demands of the American worker, this will lead to huge debts and many businesses closing.

Many businesses are barely able to get along in today's economy...

Very few of them hold resentment towards the US...very few. The media picks up on stories like that, where flags are being burned,etc, because fear sells.

Americans go to other countries to work and still hold America over the land they reside.

Answer 6

Their families and the people who illegally profit from them.

There are legal ways to come into this country, but this country can't support every person that simply "wants" the opportunity.  Immigration laws allow people from all over the world to immigrate.  

Stealing that opportunity is just wrong.  Every crime they commit is a crime that never should have happened.

Answer 7

the reason i rob a bank don't count, illegal is illegal get them out  how in heck can we protect forgien boarders when we can't protect our own..a good question for both mccain and obama

Answer 8

I am all for LEGAL immigration , when and where is needed.

Illegal immigration is a problem because we do not know who these people are, they are not screened. The Mexicans , the majority of them ,are making things very difficult for the rest of the Hispanics with their radical groups and their delusions of Reconquista, Mexicans do not want to assimilate to this country, they want to remain Mexicans, they have no allegiance to the US, they rather believe that we should adapt to them.

They need to be gone

Answer 9

I don't want them here.

Answer 10

I don't have a specific statistic on how many United State citizens want illegal aliens in our country, but I can give you my opinion.

First, I would like to preface that I am politically liberal. I believe in providing people with civil liberty and treating everyone fairly. However, I think that illegal immigrants have to be expelled from the United States. This is not because I do not feel for their plights, but rather that they broke our law (several in fact). It really IS that simple and they should be punished accordingly. (See Link Below) I also believe the companies that are hiring illegal aliens should be punished. Personally, I think they are the unsung enemies in this whole issue.

And before anyone starts saying the line “Illegal Aliens work the jobs that American citizen do not want”, I would simply like to clarify something. Maybe you, personally, don’t want those jobs, but some American citizens DO want those jobs. Large portions of my family work in factory jobs (printing, agricultural, and textile). I, myself, have worked in two factory jobs before going to college. These type of jobs are becoming scarcer and scarcer. This is not simply because of illegal aliens, though they do contribute to the fact that there are less factory jobs for legal citizens, but also the fact that companies are outsourcing oversees. So please before anyone writes this line, think about families like mine who are trying desperately to make ends meet the LEGAL way.

Answer 11

Wow i cant believe what you people are sayn... bad pple is everywhere...i just bcame a resident n i wasnt no killer or in any gang...n yeah immigrants work for less money cuz Americans dont wanna do what they do...y'all r to good for it....my parent  work really hard to get where they r, n didnt take nobody's job...not every body come here to get pregnant  or take pplz husbands or wives so please dont put us all in the same bag......Yeah im against  ppl who say they come here for a better life n all they do is drink  n cause problems..but not against of those who  actually come here n work,, cuz they  r not   doing nething wrong.....Now dont u think what some americans do for money is worse they take $15 thousand from an illegal to give them a green card..he or she is taking that money from a hard working person who just want a better life...Now go n think how some americans r instead of judging n sayn we come here to still jobs husbands or wives

Answer 12

not many

Answer 13

I think undocumented workers from Mexico have made things really hard for illegal immigrants.

You never see illegal Guatemalans or Hondurans or Russians or Irish flying their flags and protesting in the streets. Most of these guys just try to blend in, even though they are breaking the law by being here.

However, with the recent Reconquista of Aztlan underway, illegal immigrants from Mexico have drawn the ire of Americans, and we are now making it harder for them than before.

However, I guarantee you if the illegals from Mexico didn't protest, didn't fly their flag, and stayed out of sight, illegal immigration would be a huge non-issue (like it was in the past).

Answer 14

I'm not for just letting whom ever in to this country, I think we should give the people that are already here a chance at becoming legal citizens......the ones that do not have criminal records of coarse! They do not take jobs away from anybody, the jobs are given to the people who can do the job better, and the American companies take advantage of them by paying low wages, but this helps them make big profits, which lets them keep the prices of their products low, and that brings the savings into your pocket. They are consumers in this country, and without them, this place would be billions poorer. They DO PAY TAXES! but people will tell you differently. They use government services because the American bosses refuse to offer them benefits. Would you rather have people using government services to get better, or have a bunch of sick people walking around with different diseases? They pay more taxes into the system then they use in services.

Answer 15

all that is true, except they don't want to be Americans, they want to stay mexicans.  They want what you have and they are not afraid to use force to get it.  Remember they illegals believe that the most of the Western U.S. was theirs, so they have a birth right to everything on that land.

Answer 16

Didn't an illegal immigrant kill 3 people in one family. I think only the mother is left, such a sad story. I want them out and I want them out now!

Answer 17

The answer to your question is: Follow the money.  Business owners who profit handsomely from hiring illegals at sub-market wages want a steady supply of illegals to pad their pockets.

Why don't we get real enforcement?  The Republicans get campaign contributions from the business owners ripping off the illegals.  The Democrats hope to get their vote.

The result, the American people pay and the illegals get free access to our country.

Demand action or vote your individual congressman out on his rear!

Answer 18

Last 2 Phoenix cops killed by illegals.

Drop houses making our neighborhoods unsafe!

Legal fine.

Answer 19

I'm a legal immigrant. My grandparents moved to the US from another country and became naturalized citizens.

I don't want any ILLEGAL immigrants because its unfair, unsafe, and bad for the economy in every way I can imagine.

Answer 20

There are many Americans who want them completely gone and I am one of them. More and more Americans are realizing the harm that they bring to this country. Many have no idea the severity of the problem. They are mooching off the system, bringing down educational system, bringing down property values, taking jobs, spreading disease raising crime rate etc.... Report to Deport!!!

Answer 21

Just the Republicans so they can have slave labor for their businesses, since they are more interested in PROFITS than in the AmeriKan people

Answer 22

The majority of legal citizens in this Country want the ILLEGALS GONE, the fence BUILT............and our Politicians just don't get it, and refuse what we the people want.  They are in the pockets with LaRaza, Mexico, and anything else who is against this Country and its policies.
