    THINKING BECOMING RACIST

    I have not yet got to the place where my thinking is racist, but each day I get angrier and angrier because each day our government is giving more and more of what is deserving only to citizens and paid for by citizens of this country who have earned it and giving it to illegal aliens. Like health care for all illegals, housing and welfare, etc. I am afraid that if this keep up my thinking will become racist.
    We are fast getting to the place where we have no representation and have to look to each other for support. More restrictions are being put on citizens of the country and less on illegal aliens. More benefits to illegal aliens and less to citizens. All of this calls for more taxes to be paid by the citizens of this country.
    I have family members who make a little too much to qualify for government health care but cannot afford to pay for it or the deductible, so therefore do without adequate healthcare. The same goes for education for their children, social services and housing.
    My daughter has a 18 year disabled child and never qualified to get any assistance, she works for an organization who help the disabled and has to provide a translator because of her Hispanic clients. This organization is government funded.
    More and more they have to depend on each other for assistance. I am on a fixed income but any extra I have to help them out. I think that is becoming the common reality for Americans.
    This makes me angry because all I hear on the news if what is good for illegal aliens. What can we do to make life better for illegal aliens and nothing but more taxes to be paid by citizens of this country.

    Don't worry dyehard. Being angry with illegal immigration and the massive presence of illegal aliens in our country is not racist. "Illegal alien" is not a race. Ilegal alien is not exclusive to a culture, color, creed, race or national origin. It is a person or group of people who are in this country ILLEGALLY and in violation of the law. It is absolutely wrong and completely incorrect to classify someone who is adamanatly and vehemently opposed to illegal immigration as a racist. A PATRIOT is the proper classification of an individual who is oppposed to illegal immigration and the presence of illegal aliens in his country. So, dyehard...first and foremost, consider your self a PATRIOT. And that is something to be proud of and seems to be in somewhat short supply in America, particulary in Congress, the Presidency and this administration.

    I focus my anger on this issue, at the folks who deserve it the most: the Globalists in our government who have engineered this invasion, and aid and abet it, at every turn.

    There is a significant percentage of Mexicans who are here illegally, who are racist, and also a significant percentage who are out and out criminals, aside from the criminal act of entering our country illegally. There are also a lot of Mexicans here illegally, who are decent, desperate people. They are being used as pawns by the Globalists in our government, and by the Mexican government, as surely as American citizens are being used as pawns, by those entities. If I was struggling just to keep my family fed, and a roof over their heads, in corrupt Mexico, I'd be making my way here, illegally, if necessary.

    This is not in any way meant to excuse the invasion. Mexico is a country rich in natural resources, and capable of a vibrant economy, were it not for the systemic corruption there, and the couple dozen wealthy families, and drug cartels, running that country.

    Never forget that the invasion can only continue, with the participation of our American-born co-conspirators, in the District of Criminals.

    Dyehard, zeezil is absolutely right. What you have described is NOT racism. As one who has experienced first-hand the evil of racism, trust me, this isn't it.

    Racist have an arbitrary hatred of others predicated exclusively on race or ethnicity. The character of a person is irrelevant to a racist. The only requirement to be a recipient of repugnance from a racist is that the person have a certain skin color or be a member of a particular religion. To a racist, certain people are not considered human, and are not deserving of any semblance of decency or respect.

    A racist has such intense loathing that they would rather die than receive life-saving blood from a person of a particular race.

    In my entire life, I have never personally had an issue elicit such anger as this illegal alien invasion and the traitorous behavior of our elected representatives. My anger is indescribable. However, I know my feelings are valid, as are the feelings of everyone who is angry because our country is systematically being destroyed, and the constitutional rights of legal taxpaying citizens are being subverted by the greed of those we have entrusted to represent our best interest.

    If you are a patriotic American and you aren't absolutely livid, you aren't awake. May God help us as we continue to fight to save our country.

    If you are afraid of becoming a racist, I think it's unlikely you would become one by choice. I guess that if you are afraid that outside influences and reality are challenging long-held beliefs, that implies that perhaps those long-held beliefs were inaccurate.

    Personally, I don't think that wanting the best for your own people is a bad thing, or even particularly racist. Blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, and various other ethnicities talk about their people as a source of pride. They acknowledge their roots. Bill Cosby wants the best for blacks, speaks out to them as black man, and tries to spur them on. Does that make him a racist?

    I don't think that makes him the equivalent of Nazis, that's for sure. Race is just a part of who these people are, and they freely acknowledge that. Whites are generally the only ones who pretend race isn't a part of who they are. Obviously, these ideas can and have led to bad things and persecution, but I think it's irrational and unhealthy to cut yourself off from your roots. JMO.

    Thanks for the feedback.
    I am a Native American woman who was raised by a black family whose family was made up of many difference races. Half of my family is Mexican and I have live all my life with Mexicans being raised in southern Arizona. Race has never been a issue. My paster is Mexican and I got a lot of feedback on this issue from him.
    I am very much concerned about the cost of illegal immigration and how it is affecting my family and some of them are Mexicans or of Hispanic ancestry. It make me very angry when every day I hear of more and more benefits given to illegals and I am quick to voice my opinion on illegal immigration. My main objection is the cost and I have been the victim of illegal crime and had to move because of it.
    I also have been the victim of racial remarks because I am Native American and I have been mistaken for Mexican. I understand it because I understand that people are very angry.

    ...you come from a multi-cultural background and everyone is proud and supportive of their ethnicity, as well as they should. Where I have a problem is when one advocates for their "race" to the advantage of, the exclusion of and at the expense of all others. Realistically, we are all of one origin and all human kind has been traced back to an ancient hominoid woman from the rift valley in Africa. Kind of makes the sense of "race" a bit silly. But, I diverge. There is no race component to illegal immigration and who is an illegal alien. To illegally enter the U.S. is a conscious decision to break our countries laws and utilize the American people, America's social, health, education and economy to your own benefit at the expense of the American citizen. If that isn't wrong and is not to be tolerated, I don't know what is.

    And it is hard to see the difference between those that alleged to be here just to work and are good people and those that deliberately come to commit crimes becaues it it more lucretive here. It is heard to be a victim and not hate the criminal who has no right to be here. For whatever reason they come they are stll breaking the law and that I am furious about. I am both angry at the government for letting it happen and I am angry at the illegal alien who in the area were I live is Hispanic and I see first hand what it has cost the neighborhood and people is angry. There is a thin line between hating the act and hating the person who commit the act and sometime that anger comes out in hated remarks and but still I do not see racism in the anger and I understand the anger when their way of life is being attacked. We are being put between a rock and a hard place. I have to do a lot a praying for my anger not to turn into racism.
    There is a family that is here illegally and they did not leave Mexico because of poverty. They have over stayed their visas. Have documents that do not prove WHO they are. I do not understand why they are here because they are both professionals and are not doing well in this country taking odd jobs. One of those family member is close to becoming part of my family. The reason, I believe, they are here is because of education for their children. One child is in a Charter school for the gifted and the two others are in UNR with scholarships and grants.
    I see first hand some who take advantage of this system and use it to the fullest and that again makes me angry. Some times my anger is directed against the goverhment for letting this happen and other times I am angry at the illegal because they take advantage of this system and they know how to do it. There are many reasons why they come here and it is not always for jobs.

    This among others things are make people angry here in Nevada;

    Illegal Immigration in Nevada
    101,000 illegal aliens resided in Nevada as of 2000, according to INS figures. This is 321 percent higher than the previous INS estimate in 1996 and 461 percent higher than the estimate for 1992.
    Naturalization
    Fewer immigrants in Nevada are becoming naturalized U.S. citizens. In 2000, only 37 percent of Nevada’s foreign-born were naturalized U.S. citizens, versus 41 percent in 1990.
    The booming Las Vegas casino sector is attracting large numbers of immigrants to the city. Despite a required police background check for new hires that bars most illegal aliens seeking casino jobs, the city, nevertheless, is attracting large numbers of illegal aliens working in hotels and other jobs not requiring advanced education or skill levels and paying low wages. The presence of a large number of illegal aliens is attested to by the spread of money transfer and check cashing operations and the growth of immigration consultant services.31
    The flood of illegal aliens moving to southern Nevada is so large that the Las Vegas INS office admits it can’t keep up. The Las Vegas INS office has about the same number of staff it had ten years ago, despite the fact that agents have seen a 49 percent increase in the number of illegal immigrants apprehended in the last five years.32
    The large population of illegal aliens is straining the state’s health care and criminal justice infrastructure. Eighteen percent of Clark County residents do not have health insurance and rely on the valley’s crowded emergency room for routine care; health officials believe many are illegal aliens.33
    Nevada authorities requested compensation from the federal government in FY’99 for $9.6 million in incarceration expenses for illegal aliens in state and local jails and prisons, but it received only $3.7 million, leaving $5.9 million in uncompensated costs to be borne by state taxpayers

    I find it rather disingenious and disturbing that the "U.S. Immigration Lawyers"website is using data and statistics that are 10 - 17 years old. Talk about outdated. I wonder if this is deliberate since data over later years would clearly exhibit how huge and shocking the massive invasion of illegal aliens (and legal immigrants) has become. Probably, what other reasonable explanation would there be?
