i want illegal immigration under control more for economic and security reasons... im not racially motivated at all. i didnt mind the status quo, but i dont want these people to be legit bc that's going to mean that we add 10-15 mill low income people government assitance who pay little in taxes  which will equate billions of tax dollars being spent. also, its not good to have people moving in and out of the borders uncontrolled, especially in the last few years with all the terrorism crap.\n\non a side note, i love it when people accuse me of being a racist for being anti immigration or not understanding the issue, because my mom's family immigrated here from germany in the 1960s so then i can turn around and call them racists for thinking i have no connections to immigration bc im white.

I am not latino, but I know quite a few people in the hispanic community and they are discriminated against.  It would be nice if everyone would wake up one morning and view each person they see as a human being with feelings, instead of seeing the color of their skin and basing their negative opinions on that.

The hate for "illegals" is just the newest accepted form of racism. People justify it by saying they hate them because they are breaking the law by being here, when really all it is is that they feel uncomfortable being around people that seem different. Do you think people would be so upset if Mexicans spoke English and had fair skin? Why aren't people worried about securing the boarder of Canada?

Lack of Education - Possible. People might think Mexicans rule the Hispanic world!\n\nDescrimination - Again, possible. There are some pretty bad rumors out there about Mexicans.\n\nGeneralization - A lot of Hispanics I know are Mexican. Maybe they assumed most every Hispanic person is Mexican.

Although your question doesn't specify a lot of people just assumed that you meant whites being racist against blacks.  I beleive that that assumption is racist in itself.\n\nI am white and grew up in a primarliy Mexican community.  I can spend hours talking about the racsim I experienced at their hands.  \n\nThere are more reasons than can be answered here but one big one is that the media is so obsessed with the differences in groups instead of their similarities.  They are quick to point out an ethnicity or race when doing a news report.  They also only show one side to racism (whites against blacks) instead of all sides because it is politically correct to do so.  After hearing the same thing over and over you tend to believe it.  People then become distrusting of those that are different from them.  If the media left race alone people would get along better.\n\nAnother big reason is that activists (Nativo Lopez, Jesse Jackson, etc.) are so quick to scream racism at every perceived injustice.  This puts people off and causes them to not care about the other groups.  Hell, if I'm going to be called racist just for being white then why should I ever do anything to help anybody outside of my race (i.e. Hurricane Katrina)?  \n\nBasically I say quit pointing out the differences and everyone will get along better.

Yes to all.  They are racist.  The worst part is they accuse us of being a racist.  Have you ever been to the DMV and everyone else is speaking spanish including the employees?  I have and it's an ugly feeling but because I'm not one of them I can't complain otherwise they'll accuse of being a racist.  sick and tired of that word.

Because Americans are by and large culturally ignorant.\n\nAssuming all Hispanics as Mexicans...just like my ex, she said "all Asians are Chinese as far as I'm concerned."\n\nThat kind of mentality is ridiculous, and makes people look like morons.

It's not about race or ethnicity. Illegal aliens come in all colors. It is not about Mexico or any other specific country. It is about enforcing the immigration laws of the country.

There are a couple reasons for racism:\n\n1. Fear. People fear what they don't understand.\n\n2. Ignorance. See #1.\n\n3. On the other hand someone that is surrounded by crime and gangs is likely to be racist because of their experiences. (I was like this for a while till I met some good black people that became friends.) \n\nI have dated asians, mexicans, blacks, whites, korean, Polish, Spanish (from spain), and Irish girls. Loved em all. \n\nI think it is great to be friends with anyone regardless of skin color or racial background.

Yes I have!!!  I am Hispanic (from Costa Rica) but I used to live in Houston Texas (I am back in my country), and believe it or not, I experienced racism from Hispanic people.  \n\n\nThe people who treated me really bad were from Mexico, El Salvador and even from Costa Rica.   When I moved to Houston I spoke English but it was not good enough and sometimes I didn't understand what people said.   However if I spoke in Spanish to somebody who looked hispanic they usually said "sorry I don't speak Spanish"  And I am not only talking about the language think, they treated me bad at work too. \n\nAt least that help me to improve my English because I learned that I couldn't depend on other people. \n\nI remember one day that I went to Bank of America with a friend who was just coming to US and he wanted to open a checking account, so I saw a teller who's name was Guadalupe Flores (I'll never forget that name) and I told my friend "she speaks Spanish" go to her.  Even though my English was already good, I thought that it was better if my friend talk to the "lady" by himself.  Well, when he asked her a question she looked at him disparagingly and said: "I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH"  I got really mad that day and I told her a couple of "not nice words" and then I told her: "I am so sorry for you. You have no idea what a great advantage is to be bilingual, you get better job positions" and I left the bank.\n\nI never ever got such a despise from an American or  Afro-american person.

I know alot of latinos who don't support illegals, and this makes illegals mad. They try to make them feel guilty, and when they can't they start throwing insults and telling them they are a disgrace to their race. I know this because I live in a majority hispanic city, and my husband is also hispanic. They also get mad when other nationalities of legal immigrants don't support them. One woman I know was called " A Vietnamese b****." The man then went on to say she was a disgrace and at this very moment her people were probably plotting her death.

WE use the race card? Pro-illegals are the ones that state that "Not all illegal immigrants are Mexican", then say that "The only reason you people hate illegals is that you don't want a taste of the Hispanic culture."

While I can't speak for everyone who has said a negative comment about Mexicans, what I can say is two things..\n\n1) Everyone has stereotypes, even you.  You gave a perfect example when you said, "have you ever been here? (besides the border to get drunk)"  Wow!  Do you want to be the pot or the kettle?\n\n2) How do you know a comment was derived from a stereotype and not from personal experience?\n\nWhen you're trying to make a point, try not to be a hypocrite in the process.
