Imigration in America

[LavCat]

Returning to the topic of Immigration in America: I am firmly persuaded that restrictions on immigration are rooted in racial bigotry and that economic arguments are merely an excuse.

This is what's wrong with people like you. You project your own inner thoughts upon others.

No one has issues with Asian immigrants, for example, and for a reason.
Asians were as much discriminated against in the past as any other immigrant group and that really was racial. However, this was at a time in this country, just like in the rest of the world, when people really were much more ignorant and bigoted than they are now.
These days, people see that when Asians come here, they become productive members of society. They do not sit on welfare. They work and give back to this country as much as they take. They are not a burden and they do not scream about Asian pride while taking from this country after running away from their own. We welcome them in this country.

Generally speaking though, we don't want illegals (from any country) here for a simple reason. By getting here illegally, you are breaking our laws. Period. If you break our laws and you are a foreigner, you do not deserve to be here.

So no, you are incorrect. You want to be right, because that would justify your own pathetic and misguided views, but you are not.

Within the past month a Romanian neighbor of mine complained that she was thinking of moving back to Europe. When she moved here, she said, this was a nice development but now every other family is Chinese or Indian. "And the Chinese are taking white people's jobs!"

Until the year I was born the state of Arizona withheld the right to vote from Native Americans, contrary to federal law. You think things are different now?
