Why is it that the majority of ?'s involving immigration seem to be answered by ignorant bigots?

Because people hate what they don't know. It's really sad to see Americans say some things they do on here. It shows just how narrow minded we can be. It's a disgrace, and they're the ones who probably claim to be the most patriotic. Which is nothing but bs. Part of what makes this country so great is the diversity. Instead of such racism, they should show an eagerness to learn.

bigotry and intolerance of all kinds is wrong!  people often fear what they don't understand, but some of those people choose not to educate themselves, and then that fear will fester into irrational hatred.  and that's what starts wars!  that's what tears apart families, denies and takes away equal/civil rights,  gets people fired from jobs for no legitimate reason, leads to violence/bashing!  whether it's because of sexual orientation, race, religion, culture....it's evil!  and bigots who raise their children to hate....to me, that is child abuse, because you are socially retarding your child.\nI am in a loving, monogamous, committed relationship...and I can't get married.  if the bigots/right-wingers/bible-thumpers/"fundies" have their way....churches and government will keep trying to dictate what goes on in everyones bedroom.   what 2 consenting, unrelated adults do in private is their own business, and no one else's!

Seems like common sense doesn't it? Some people just don't get it or don't WANT to get it. I just pray that I don't wake up someday only to find a new burqa laying on my bed.\n***Hawk, are you nuts? We have never been attacked by people who immigrated here? We opened our doors to 19 animals who killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens. We HAVE to be more careful about who we allow in. These zealots want to kill you and your children, parents, sisters etc.

Up here in Canada it is about a 50:50 split.  We are getting more and more from the USA because of all the ongoing bigotry down there.  Why so much hate?

you probably wouldnt have questioned yourself if you were racist before the great invasion of immigrants to descent on our doorsteps, our anger should be at the government and not the immigrants, its the government that is taking the piss out of us, the immigrants are only accepting what is being offered to them and if it is an improvement on their normal life, who isnt going to accept!\nits a very good question and i am sure will receive mixed views

I feel your pain on the issue.\n\nI think a lot of the problem is revolving around the fact that 90% of the people here asking questions are just attempting to start an arguement or cause drama. Which, is not hard to accomplish since 90% of the people answering these questions aren't in it to solve a problem for someone, but to state their own belief only for the purpose of attempting to over-power someone else's belief or establish that they are correct, and only they.\n\nIgnore it. There's nothing you can do to change this. It's a matter of battling stupidity.

Somehow, I don't think you are really an immigrant.  It's my guess that you are someone who is against immigrants and are asking the question out of your misguided beliefs as to what most immigrants bring to our nation.\n\nADDITION:\n\nI can't believe you all.  Especially you, Julie.  That's just nasty.  Number one, this is clearly a conservative making a statement and not asking a question, and number two, they didn't say illegal.  That means number three, you're a nasty, nasty bigot.

Where to you get your information?????  Only the older generation immigrant has problems learning a new language (English) but the younger ones eagerly learn it and unfortunately forget their native languages.\n\nYour opinion clearly shows your prejudices.  What is so very sad as can be seen from many posters is that many, many Americans are not able to write in English and needless to say in any other language.\n\nI have lived in many other countries where there are expatriate americans living and they do not speak the local language nor make any attempt to do so.  They are under the idea that everyone, everywhere must speak English (as though they could really understand it)\n\nPlease change your bigoted ideas.  Nearly all immigrants make a greater effort to learn and understand than the anglo-americans do to understand them.

I have seen those types on here too. One of them, when she doesn't have a response, just says "don't believe everything you read". With the huge amount of data showing that illegal immigration hurts more than it helps, it is amazing that people living in America can still support it. These people are fighting for illegal behavior. These are undoubtedly the same people who lean on their horn when someone cuts them off on the highway. they are hypocrites.

I hope I am wrong, but I think many of them are really that ignorant and close minded.  And they want someone to agree with them, without being given criticising looks by those who disagree, so they post their stupid questions here while no one can see their faces.

You are right ... people tend to confuse race with law for some weird reason ... the illegal immigration issue is not about race or nationality ... it's about protecting our borders!  People who come here illegally do so knowing they are breaking our laws ... why is it racist to be against that??  And it is also very true that the biggest loudmouths screaming racism are the illegal Latinos ... probably because they have no other argument ... won't wash with me either ...

wow - that's an overgeneralized statement, don't ya think?\n\nHate is a very strong word...\n\nI believe it's the ILLEGAL part of immigration that most people have a problem with - not the immigration itself.\n\nLast time I checked the US was a FREE, Democratic society - you can't just throw someone out - unless they are here ILLEGALLY that is... \n\nThank God for that!

The only thing ive noticed is no one is prepared to listen to anyone elses views, sticking to theyre own even if it is wrong, unjust or just a plain dumb response.\n\nBut then that probably because its easier to argue over something when you dont know the facts and realise the world is changing everyday than to be bothered putting it a critical argument.\n\nI mean so many people have said its against the law as if they never take a step outside the front door and cause a crime. I mean, how many here have downloaded a movie off the internet...then have the hypocracy to say the illegals are breaking the law. I can bet a fair few of them, and those who say no ive never done a crime and just talking out of theyre arse.
