Thread: African American comments on Illegal Immigration

This comment is in response to the article: El Salvador Ducks U.S. Immigration Debate. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/worldopi ... grati.html



Reading some of the Post on here are unbelievable. The definition of alien is a foreign born resident who has not been naturalized and is still a subject or citizen of a foreign country. These non citizens of the United States are ILLEGAL ALIENS. They have no rights to demand anything. I too am a black American, and I agree with the other blacks on here. Blacks were brought here as slaves to help build this country for free. As U. S. citizens, blacks fought for their rights during Jim Crowism. I haven't heard any of these supporters talk about some of these racist Latino groups who plan on taking this country over. I live in Ward 4 D.C., and I have seen what my longtime middle class neighborhood is becoming, a ghetto barrio with a third world invasion. My own Ward 4 Councilmember running for mayor, supports giving voting rights to "non-citizens" of the District of Columbia. Guess what, he has lost the support of many black voters, because this is a slap in the face to black U.S. citizens. We had to fight tooth and nail as citizens in this country to get rights we deserved, but ILLEGAL ALIENS don't have any rights, but they do have the ear of these spinless Politicians. We need to secure our borders first by putting the military at both borders. Yes, we need to deport all these protesters back to their countries. Let them protest for change and rights in their countries. I see the fall of the U.S. if this third world invasion continues. Many of our middle class communities have become third world barrios. As citizens, if we speak out against these ILLEGAL ALIENS, then some want to call us racists. IS IT RACIST FOR SOME OF THESE LATINO GROUPS TO TELL BLACKS TO GO BACK TO AFRICA, AND FOR WHITES TO GO BACK TO EUROPE? Yes, my ancestors originated from Africa, but I don't have any allegiance to Africa. My allegiance is to the United States. Yes there is still racism in the U.S. between blacks and whites, but on the issue of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, I think, this issue has brought both races closer together. As U.S. citizens regardless of race, we must fight for the sovereignty of our country. I don't support amnesty or citizenship to ILLEGAL ALIENS. I too am a Democrat, but I am fed up with the likes of Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and the Congressional Black Caucus for pandering to ILLEGAL ALIENS. If we don't get a handle on this invasion soon, they will continue to come and have lots of babies. (U.S. citizens) As U.S. citizens, we have a right to protect the interest of our nation. I am sorry for the poverty in El Salvador, Mexico, and other Central American countries, but we have too much poverty here in the United States. Are you aware of how many U.S. citizens still live in poverty in this country? Many white and black citizens are still suffering from last year's Katrina. I am somewhat a liberal on many issues, but after seeing these criminals out protesting and demanding rights, this woke myself and other blacks up. In closing, I must agree with others on here, it will be a Civil War in this country, if we don't get this crisis under control. I SAY, DEPORT THEM, AND SEND THEM ALL HOME.

I think you're right, the problems blacks and whites of this country have with each other is a 'family matter' and has nothing to do with illegal aliens. It reminds me of siblings fighting each other, but they won't let any one else do it.

GFC, Thank you for your thoughtful post. I agree. This is NOT a color issue. It's an AMERICAN and LEGAL immigrant standing together issue.

As citizens, if we speak out against these ILLEGAL ALIENS, then some want to call us racists. IS IT RACIST FOR SOME OF THESE LATINO GROUPS TO TELL BLACKS TO GO BACK TO AFRICA, AND FOR WHITES TO GO BACK TO EUROPE?

When you are in someone else's country, you bow to their laws, you do not riot in the streets to change them! Unless ofcourse you are an organized militia committing acts of aggression.

I am sick and tired of so-called Black leaders like Michael Eric Dyson committing me without my permission to the cause of illegal aliens. It's ridiculous, people comparing those illegal marches to the Civil Rights movement and trying to say Black people have some kind of "debt" to Mexico for sheltering runaway slaves 200 years ago. That's really reaching. It amazes me how Black and Gay media are being bombarded with editorials and opinion pieces mandating support for illegal immigrant amnesty. This propaganda is obviously being co-ordinated by the corporate lobby. It's disgusting! Seems like everybody nowadays can be bought. I don't care what they say: I will not advocate for endangering our national security! I will not advocate for suppressing the wages of legal citizens! I will not advocate for breaking the law as a means of reforming it. And I will not excuse the government of Vicente Fox of responsibility for the welfare of millions of Mexican citizens he is PUSHING across our borders.

Stuff,
Good for you! Having personal standards is so important. That's what separates us from the illegal aliens who have no problem with criminality, because "they want to."

It's ridiculous, people comparing those illegal marches to the Civil Rights movement and trying to say Black people have some kind of "debt" to Mexico for sheltering runaway slaves 200 years ago.

I even heard one justification that Latin America had slaves too -- but what has that got to do with the slaves in America?

these people are using slavery, the 'Declaration of Independence,' the civil rights movement and even "Atzlan will rise again" -- don't these people have a mind of their own?

From talking with Mexican-American co-workers, I know there is a sense of entitlement at work. Many of them feel Mexicans have the right to come across American borders anytime they want because some of the USA used to belong to Mexico. They resent the Mexican-American War and the resultant Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo . . . they've never forgiven the US for that. There really is something to what Michelle Malkin says about a "reconquista" movement. We would all be fools to acquiesce to the demands of militant aliens. How can this be allowed to happen when we are at war and concerned about terrorist attack?

To answer your question....the uneducated do not have a mind of their own.

By "uneducated," are you referring to the Bush administration? I don't think they're uneducated. I think they are traitors who know exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it. George W. Bush never had the best interests of this nation at heart.
