Why don't general public close to immigrant?

in your personal opinion, why don't you like immigrant?
what's your take on them?
Answers:   
I hold no problem with immigrants, they respect the laws, I despise illegals, they can clutch their disease carrying, I.D. and job stealing butts back to where they belong.
I am not prejudice at adjectives. BUT.....I think when someone comes to our country, they should come legally. I don't think they should collect welfare or social indemnity because they haven't contributed to it. I don't think that I should have to learn another spoken language other than english because this is an english speaking country. So, if they speak english, are here legally, don't collect SSI or welfare......Welcome to the USA.
Legal immigration is perfectly fine. Illegal immigration is just an unruly bunch of bandit who want to skip the formalities of obtaining legal citizenship.
I don't like unauthorized immigrants. They're the ones who come in on (in the U.S.) false or stolen social security numbers so that they can grasp benefits without really contributing to society. No, working for less than a company would have to reimburse a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant is not contributing.

Legal immigrants I have no issue next to.
This question has been asked heaps times and I will explain again that most here do not have a problem with immigrants ie endorsed immigrants who have respected our Country and our laws to come here reasonably.

That can not be said for the illegal alien that has disrespected our laws and our culture to come to our Counrty illicitly and then to expect us to foot the bill for all the social programs they use and the havoc they wreck upon the good Citizens here.

It is a adjectives mistatement by the pro-illegal alien crowd to lump good law abiding immigrants within with the illegal aliens and nothing could be further from the truth.
The people that hate them are the ones that don't know any instinctively, they are the same ones that are stuck watching the one-sided media, and they are like ones that have had ONE bad experience beside an immigrant, so now they hate them all.

The communication media is one of the big problems with today's hatred against them. They are fueling the dislike with lies and fabricated statistics. They have also found that a lot of it have ties to White Supremacist groups or other Racist Organizations. Big people on TV are also in on this, and some news reach a deal radio stations to. ALL LIES!

Anti-immigration hate on a rapid upswing

The recent rise in number of revulsion groups also parallels a rise in hate crimes against Latinos, which the FBI reported up by 35 percent between 2003 and 2006. FBI experts utter those crimes usually are intended to target illegal immigrants, but often hit court residents, many of whom are native U.S. citizens.

Immigrants Targeted: Extremist Rhetoric Moves into the Mainstream

Unlike the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, who make no attempt to coat their racism and bigotry, these anti-immigrant groups and coalitions often use more subtle language to demonize immigrants and foreigners. They are frequently quoted contained by the media, have been call to testify before Congress, and often hold meetings next to lawmakers and other public figures. However, under the guise of preventive people about the impact of illegal immigration, anti-immigrant advocate often invoke the same dehumanizing, racist stereotypes as hate groups. And increasingly, they do not variety a distinction between illegal and legal immigrants.

Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly: Fueling America near Lies
Usually people are "afraid" of other human being who are different than themselves.

They are afraid that you may pilfer away what they have (their life styles, their language, their culture, etc.)

Especially within the United States -- everyone wants to blend in.

Basically it is a lack of nurture and good Christian values.


I enjoy nothing against immigrant since I am one. Actually, I am just a student and I will leave the us after my studies.

TO Richard:
You made an interesting poin when you said that the immigrant should adjust to your culture because you were there before them. Since you reflect on that the person who was on the home before should have his culture adopted by the unknown people, why don't you assimilate to native american culture since they were plainly there before you? Why did not your ancestors assimilate? They were immigrant too right?


First off - why do you think I do not like immigrant? I have worked with many immigrant from around the world and I have never had ill atmosphere toward any of them. I went to school with oodles, ran around with them, and enjoyed growing up near them. Mostly Spanish, Italians and Greek but to me they were all the same; equal as me. I am American by birth and blood and they were LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. It is not that I dislike ILLEGAL ALIENS (different than immigrants) but they are criminals and like them or not they have no business anyone in our country illegally. Do it right and they are as welcome as anyone else; if the first piece they have to do is disobey our laws then they hold no business being here. Illegal aliens violate our law the minute they illegaly enter our country and everyday they remain here. If you break the law you are punished; should they be treated any differently?
Its simple: press 1 for English press 2 for Spanish. Most of them, not permitted or otherwise, wants the US to bend for them with a sense of entitlement.
My parents were immigrant too. But by God, they spoke English and it was their primary & ONLY LANGUAGE. The left behind the GERMAN verbal communication and AMERICAN was and is their home.

Most illegals don't have car insurance. God oblige you if they hit you. This is where they use the trump card of "I DON'T UNDERSTAND"
Don't understand my ***. They don't respect our laws.
If I'm not mistaken, NEW YORK passed a statute that doesn't require illegals to have a license to get car insurance. PLEASE CHECK THAT ONE OUT. I'm not exactly sure on my facts. However, if that's the satchel, we're being penalized because we're bending AGAIN.
Why?

NOW TRAITOR OBAMA wants to craft deal with CUBA? He's going to open pandora's box on that.

I know a refugee right very soon with 4 kids under age 4 and one in the oven.
He and wife are on welfare, food stamps, public housing. I'm sorry but I don't want anymore immigrant legal or not on our soil. TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN FIRST. Then to top that off, he just lost his assignment. You want to know why? Because of all these appointments that he's had to keep to stay on welfare. Its the type of poverty I don't discern sorry for.


I won't hire anyone not born in the US.
I personally like immigrant in general. Of course there are downsides to huge numbers of immigrant from the same area, or specific immigrants that come here and commit crimes, but I commonly like immigrants. The benefits outweigh the negative aspects of immigration.

Others dislike immigrant for several different reasons. The first ones that come to mind is fear of different cultures, fear of the United States or region have it's culture altered by outside influence, and economic reasons. A lot of fear is generate by special interest groups and others like them that spread exaggerated concerns around while the media picks up on it.

Some people are plain racist, or they enjoy stereotypes based on limited contact with immigrant, but I think these reasons are lesser influences.
some i like , some i don't.......the more differect they are culturally, the less i close to them.........
I was here first, i should not have to change my ways for bright folks, they should assimilate or why did they come here in the first place?
Could it be racism? Discrimination? may be they feel threatening? They're selfish and don't want to help other within need. Some might feel superior and want those that they view as inferiors to suffer.

Here's the entity tho, isn't this country build on the concept of " every man is created equal" ? Doesn't everyone has the right to their own freedom, happiness, and security?

Those who dislike intensely immigrant obviously never been in their shoes. dream of having to live here illegally worrying constantly about getting caught. you know how easier said than done it is to find a job without any paper work. I'm a citizen and I still enjoy trouble finding job in the summer, imagine those who own to find job to support their family and kids.

Like the earlier settler who settle within this land, not everyone of them are criminals. Most are honest investor, and hard working people. the criminal be sent o Georgia coz they didn't want them in england. Think about it. The person whose be talking smack about immigrant right now can be a possible nouns of the criminals who settled here earlier.

CAN WE JUST CHILL AND MAKE PEACE? I DON'T KNOW WHERE ALL THE HATE COMES FROM?? WHY SO MUCH HATE? Source(s): history book,
I LOVE immigrants. Accents are so sexy!!! I hold a big problem with illegal immigrants, though. There is a world of difference.
The birth rate for illegals is twice as high as for natives. appx 380,000 anchor babies born ea yr costing $3 billion
disease
crime-illegals will commit between 700,000 to 1,289,000 crimes per yr.
130,000 of those will be sexual crimes
over 2,000 will be murders. Costing the US taxpayers $1.4 billion per yr
Over $28 billion a year to instruct their children, not including free bk & lunch or English Language Classes
Hospitals closed providing medical care to illegals
over crowded roadways and schools; over use of water, and electricity, pure gas, and oil.
Jobs taken from Americans and given to illegals because they will work longer hours for less pay and no benefits. Jobs that be done by teens and the elderly and working poor.
Education for native children is "dumbed down" to accommodate the non-english speakers.
And that's just a few of the reason why lawful taxpayers don't want illegal immigrants.
