in terms of their military and growing economy?

Answer 1

What I think is unfair about your question is that you said a certain people group are a threat.  Not all Russian are bad.  I'd imagine a fair number of them don't acually agree with what their government does.  My husband is first generation American, and was born here.  However, his parents were born in Mexico, as were 4 of his siblings.  He's a teacher, Army reservist, and a member of a fair-sized symphony.  Even though he's an amazing person making numerous contributions to our society, he still encounters racism frequently.  Silly, isn't i?

Answer 2

Sorry I don't look at youtube, it's all just propaganda and silliness. But I haven't seen millions of Russians sneaking across the border to steal jobs from Americans and suck up free welfare and health care. Over population is going to destroy America and the planet. I hope that helps.

Answer 3

John Gibson, like most people that oppose illegal immigration, feel that Mexicans are taking advantage of programs they don't deserve (welfare, food stamps, social security, etc). They also feel that Mexicans are taking jobs away from Americans. It's not just Mexicans, but alot of people from Central America, Caribbean, and South America. I doubt you hear Russians coming here illegally, and doing the same thing. If they do, it's not to the extent that you see south of the border.

It's unfortunate when people come to this country (illegal or not), and expect a handout. If they come here to work, and they put into the economy then more power to them. In regards to jobs, it's not immigrants taking jobs. The blame should go to corporations that lower their wages knowing that illegal immigrants will take the job and be exploited.

Answer 4

Why do you pose stupid questions that you don't really want answered?

Answer 5

It's because the cold war is over and americans are more worried about being unemployed then communism taking over north america.
