Question

Why do some people here like to cry out racism whenever U.S citizens want our immigrations laws enforced?

Answer 1

Because when you say you want all illegal immigrants deported they assume you mean you want the Mexicans out.  Who is the real racist?

Answer 2

Come back to Europe. Don't bring that kind of mentality here.

Answer 3

It's usually not a valid argument but the theory is that since the majority of our illegal immigration is Hispanic then those who are against illegal immigration must be against Hispanics.  Like I said not really a valid argument but they will take whatever they can find at this point.  

Undoubtedly some who oppose illegal immigration do dislike Hispanic people but most simply dislike someone breaking our laws and draining our economy and depleting our social services.

Added:  whether the economic data is correct or not (and that is highly debatable) those who believe the data are not racist if that is their honest objection to illegal immigration.

Answer 4

Because they don't have a real argument so they just throw out that word.

Answer 5

Partially because Congress is sitting on its hands.  They are so ..glaringly.. missing, the Mexican Nationals have either bought them off, or know they won't do anything with all the threats the illegal aliens are making about where their vote will go.  

Wait a minute... they don't vote.  'Foo... you better believe they do vote.  And Congress is not going to change that.

Answer 6

Because they are pro immigrant or immigrants disguised as real Western people. They try to shame us into allowing millions of people from the World's poorest and dangerous countries into the UK and USA. "Racism" is a dirty trick word used for political reasons

Answer 7

Because there are SOME racists on that side of the spectrum.  Let me be clear that not all "anti-immigrant" or "pro-enforcement" people are racist, but the truth is that racism is the undercurrent for a fair number of them.  

We have illegal Canadians here.  If the majority of illegal aliens were Canadian and the minority were Mexican, do you think we'd have the same reaction to illegal immigration as we do today?

Answer 8

Your question is very tricky.

Everybody knows that.

Anyway, for your own personal entertainment, I will answer it

It is racism because most of the immigrants are not WASP ( white Anglo Saxon protestants ). If they were, nobody would say anything

But, since most immigrants come from a country called Mexico, south of the border, and they are non white, short, dark, speak an inferior language called Spanish, which is the language of the servants, and practice Catholicism ( which is not the religion of this country ), many people don't want them here

Happy now ?

Answer 9

my outrage is based on them being illegal i think its a smack in the face to those who come here legally

they are our LAWS they should be enforced

they will say anything....truth hurts....

Answer 10

Because, well, most of the people fighting to deport the illegals give terrible reasons why they should be deported. The things said have nothing to do with the fact that they are illegal, but more to do with the way they live their life or things that some of them do, when in fact the anti-illegals are just annoyed with things that SOME of the illegals do.

Answer 12

Because they have no reason for being here and when they holler racism I guess it makes them feel less as a criminal!!  It is racism when they come here and think they are above citizens and that they deserve free handouts etc...

Report and Deport, Show no support!!!

Answer 13

Because historically the U.S. has always been a country of immigrants and it has always been common for people to come here both legally and illegally.

Of course it's perfectly fine that citizens want the laws to be enforced, however many people still want to try their own chance at the American dream and that's why they scream racism when people want to push them out of the country.

It's also true however that it's not the first time that Americans have been racist. At many times in history Americans did not want more Irish, or more Italians, or more Chinese, or more Jews. Now they don't want more Mexicans, but it's nothing new.

Answer 14

Because most people's outrage regarding immigration is based on racism and xenophobia. They say it is based on economics but they always point to fraudulent data.

Answer 15

Because illegals will say or do anything to "justify" them being here.   Facts are that there is no justification for them being here so they play the race card.   When did illegal become a race?????????????

Answer 16

Because far and away most illegals are latino.

Answer 17

It may be because they do not full understand the lawful steps it takes to become an American citizen. Those that cry are usually the guilty and the ones who need to be disposed of back to where they came.

Answer 18

I am racist because of the illegals, not the other way around.  If a group of people are going to break our country's laws, and increase the poverty levels, crime rate and prison capacity, why do people advocate so hard for them to be here.  I had a problem with illegals.  Now, there are so many, I see a mexican, I want to kick them in the teeth.  it isn't right.  It isn't fair to the ones who got here legally, or who were born here.  But that's how I feel.  If they are just trying to make a better life for themselves in a country that doesn't persecute them, why are our cities being overrun with spanish buildings, signs and graffitti?  Why, when I check my voicemail, do I have to press 1 for english, in my own country?  Why did I have to have a vehicle repainted because at 3 am a group of mexicans tagged it with spray paint "Mexicans are Taking Over".  Yeah, I am racist against them.  And as far as I am concerned, anyone who advocates rights for illegals, is a criminal themselves.  The government had better do something, and fast.  There are too many angry americans with guns for them to keep ignoring this problem.

Answer 19

A lot of these people have been brainwashed by La Raza, an arm of the Mexican government,  who wants them to think illegal  immigration is a race issue to disguise that  it's a criminal issue.  A criminal issue because these trespassers, know they don't have the skills, education, finances, or family situations that tend to keep  them from becoming a ward of the state, and therefore avoid  the requisite DHS screening.  This issue could also be remotely considered a class issue because almost all  illegal immigrants are poor and unskilled.  The US already has enough LEGAL residents in this class who are willing to do the jobs these trespassers take, if they knew where these jobs were.  The trespassers know because they are better networked due to the efforts of the Catholic church, La Raza, and the corrupt Mexican government.

Answer 20

Defending illegal criminal invaders is a full time job, sometimes they get lazy trying to find real arguments to they use that all to familiar pathetic race card.

It's about as lame as it gets, but pro-illegals were never know for brains for having any sort of morals so it doesn't surprise me.

If you notice on here, the most racist people are the anti-white pro-illegals, I suspect it's not just on y/a though.
