Why are Americans against illegal immigrants?

Question

TAXES - Employers withhold taxes from their weekly paychecks. However, they do not claim taxes at the end of the year because they do not have a valid social security #.

WELFARE - Illegal immigrants do not apply for social services because they fear they will be caught.

Answer 1

because it hurts the legal immigrants by keeping wages down and keeps the quality of life for new and legal immigrants low.

Answer 2

For very person that lives in this country costs money. Health care, schooling, Jail (if they get in trouble), driving permits,  and many other things. Illegal immigrants dont pay home owners taxs, Health care, income, etc. when a illegal immigrant robs some one. Even if they see him and knw what he loks like. nobody knws who he is. They cant track him cuz to the US he dosent exist.

Answer 3

FIRST - Most Americans are against anyone who violates our laws. The illegal alien violates our laws the minute they illegally enter our country and every day they remain here they compound that crime.

BUT - we understand their problem in wanting to get out of their own corrupt and socially deprived country.

RESULT - Illegal aliens have flooded the United States making it hard on those who have legally come here. They have made demands on our government that even US citizens do not get. They use scarce resources and pay little if any too support our government. They march in our streets, pull down our flag and sir up hate and discontent between legal immigrants and  U.S. citizens.

SO - The United States needs to improve their laws allowing more access into our country for temporary workers and those desiring permanent residence here. We can not allow amnesty; to do so would be allowing Post Facto laws that our constitution does not allow (although too many of our politicians do not understand the Constitution is the root of our laws)

FOR NOW- All criminals including illegal aliens must be held accountable for their crimes. Illegal aliens need to be apprehended and deported. They need to stand in line and pay for their legal entry into the United States just like the millions of others who have come here and helped make the United States the great nation is was.

Answer 4

it's the ILLEGAL part that they are against.

Answer 5

Some Americans are just hateful and don't like the idea that people from other countries actually use the resources available to improve themselves and their families. Some people just like to say they have opportunities and don't take advantage of them, others actually use it and make it work.

Answer 6

Americans, or at least most of us, are against anything illegal. We pass laws to govern our society and expect good citizens to obey the laws. We ask and expect those immigrants we allow into our country to obey our laws. Those who do not are prosecuted and in most cases deported. The illegals come into our country illegally and remain here illegally. Regardless of what their excuse or reason they do become criminals when they illegally cross the border. We would not allow your neighbor to run stop signs all day long or speed up and down the street without being arrested so why should we allow illegal aliens to commit crimes and not be arrested. We do not give amnesty to U S citizens who fail to pay their fair taxes (a crime) so why should we allow illegal aliens to violate our laws and do nothing about it. The United States has welcomed millions of legal aliens and will continue to do so but we can not tolerate illegal conduct from U S citizens, from legal immigrants and certainly not from illegal aliens. I do not think the term "illegal Immigrants" is a proper term; I see immigrants as people who have completed legal requirements to be here and have migrated to the United States. I do not believe illegal aliens can be considered immigrants.

Answer 7

gee, you think it might be for the same reason we oppose:

"Illegal Car Borrowers" - I mean, insurance will cover the loss, so who really get's hurt?

"Illegal Bank Withdrawers" - It's not like they 're stealing from a particular account...

"Illegal Narcotic Providers" - Everyone has the right to earn a buck.  And if a school kid is stupid enough to buy from the guy, that's on the parents, right?

"Illegal s*x Takers" - I mean, s*x is totally natural, right? So why ask permission?

If you take the Law out of "Rule of Law" then it becomes "Rule of whatever feels good at the moment" which is fine, if you happen to named "Caligula."

Answer 8

Taxes-They pay less then they receive.

Welfare-They get medical care paid for by taxes.

               Their children go to school again at tax-payer expense.

                Their children born here are citizens eligible for medicaid and other tax financed benefits.

Answer 9

WRONG - ever heard of WIC??? HOw do you think they pay for the foirmula, milk and cheese for all of those anchor babies?

Who clogs up hospital emergency rooms?

and they BUY STOLEN SS#'s - its called identity theft

Answer 10

First, most employers who hire illegals are paying them cash, so no taxes are being withheld.  Second, illegals do access health care and do not pay for it.  Instead of the money coming from welfare, it comes from other budgets.  If the state doesn't pay for it, the hospital does, which means you and I are actually paying for it.  

You also have to think that many of the illegals entering the country (central and Asian countries) do not have up-to-date vaccinations.  From a public health perspective, this country could see a major epidemic of diseases that we thought were eradicated here.  Polio is an example of one such disease that could strike a large population in America since our vaccination rate is about 85%.  

Through LEGAL channels, immigrants can be processed and make sure that they are vaccinated and not carrying any potentially hazardous illnesses.

Answer 11

TAXES They claim exempt. The taxes are not taken out of there checks. I have seen a pay stub.

A fake SS# they can get benefits. WIC

I work for a Canadian company in the United States. We had employees that work there for 2 + years. Had all of the paperwork to be here to work. Everything looked legal. The company got in trouble for hiring illegals in the past. At end of the year they when the company did taxes found out they were not real SS#. The employees were let go. This gone on for a couple of years. So every January you found out who was the illegals. The authorities did not come and take them, they did not want the trouble. They were turned loose to find employment else were. They found out that home office in Canada can check the SS# to see if it is fake or not before they were hired, where in the United States you can not do this.

This practice cost money to the company in training the first employee and then the next one. Lower profits. Unhappy share holders. I have not heard of any studies on the effects that illegals have on the stock market. It got to effect it. You here a company is posting lower than expected profits.

The system is broke. No one wants to fix it. The government don't want you to hire them but they don't give you the tools to check first and after you find them, they don't do anything to return them.
