Why do some people hate illegal immigrants so much?

the majority of them just work and provide for their family. i am sure that they don't want to harm anyone. If the God says love one another as i love you then why so much freaking hate in the US which is a country a lot of people look up to.

    It's how they do it illegally is what I hate. I don't want to hear how unfair the U.S. is, or that "people just don't know how hard it is to immigrate here legally", Or "how much money it costs to do it legally". Millions of people who have done it legally have waited for years to come, and spent thousands of dollars. Then they apply for families to come legally, and they in turn wait for years before they are allowed to come. I have not heard them complain once about it. And they are the ones who get cheated the most when all illegals have had to do was sneak into the country, or overstay their visas, stay for years, and then march in the streets demanding something they have not earned. At least not legally.

    It's because the haters don't judge people based on merit or personal character, never have, whether it were the blacks or 'communists'.

    And much of it is plain racism, clearly visible on boards like these. Whenever someone has called Mexicans things like "Messicans" in some comment that mainly berates Hispanics, you'll soon see 14-20 thumbs up by others, just as eagerly as racist.

    The rest of it is just general scapegoating and hate. And most of them will lie and twist reality to justify it, by posting grossly exaggerated or false statistics etc. Many of those statistics were created by organized xenophobic/racist organizations (which can be easily learned about), go figure.

    It is basically insanity.

    In contrast, a large part of America is also decent and tolerant. But those who feel hate aren't just going to sit silent, since hatred needs to come out, so they take over the whole topic and prevent a civil discourse.

    The illegal boat people coming into Australia come into Australia after flying to Indonesia then coming by boat to Australia, they arrive with no papers have killed and maimed themselves and Australian Defence Force personnel. they also rioted on Christmas Island detention centre amongst themselves.PM Rudd lets 98% of these people in after jumping the line of immigrants doing it legally.

    19 boat loads so far this year and Rudd does what he does best nothing. The majority of these ppl never work rely on welfare.

    They move to head of state housing list denying Australians first some of whom have been on waiting list 5 years or more.

    Christmas Island workers and their families have been thrown out of rentable properties as govt. immigration officials are taking up residence to process the never ending illegals entering Australia

    That's interesting, I was just wondering why illegals hate America and Americans so much that instead of doing the right thing like God wants them to, they instead crap on our immigration laws. There sure is a lot of hate amongst the illegal alien population.

    God also says stealing someones documents is also wrong. God also says obey the laws of the land. Show me where Mexico has done as much for their own people and tell me how much has American done for Mexicans ? If you use love one another, than let us empty out all the jails and prisons under the guise of love one another. The illegals have gotten more from America over the last 100 years than Mexico will have given them in 3 life times. I do not recall the Bible saying you can use fake or stolen documents. You can drive without a license. And where is the love, when illegals flee from accidents, they certainly do not honor loving one another when they use someones documents causing the person undue problems. It's not as cut and dried as you make it. You should be asking Mexico this question, not us.

    Everyone should have a decent quality of life and the US offers a better life. But it should be done in a legal manner otherwise chaos ensues. Chaos such as US having to foot the bill for immigrant health care and things of that nature. You need a process in order to have a system run fairly (in theory).

    Most people hate illegals for destroying our country.

    Personally, I don't hate anyone, however. Like most Americans, I simply believe that our laws should be upheld and the guilty punished accordingly.

    If anything, I'm more angry at our elected officials and the special interests they cater to which brought us to this point in the first place.

    Do you seriously need to ask this question? Fine....

    1.They drain our LIMITED resources without giving anything back(most)

    2.They steal the identity of US citizens to take advantage of our government(welfare,medicare,medicaid)

    3.Because our fore fathers didnt see the plight that would fall on this country in the constitution it says anyone born in america is an american citizen therefore many come here and have kids here so their kids are citizens and can collect even more benefits and put them in our schools.

    4.The old arguement that illegal aliens will do the jobs that us citizens wont do is a load of bull started by George W Bush. Any american will do most any job if they are desperate enough.

    5.Illegal aliens make up the bulk of the nations street gangs and are responsible for more than their fair share of crimes

    6. Most illegal aliens have no insurance of any kind so if you are in a car accident with one chances are they are gonna run if they arent hurt and you are stuck with a full priced repair bill if you dont have good car insurance.

    7. Employers take advantage of illegal aliens cheap wages and keep REAL American citizens out of work further drawing on unemployment and putting the national deficate in greater peril.

    Thats the bulk of it. Have at it. Call me a racist if you want. I think the truth hurts the guilty

    If you want to come to this country, great. But do it through the proper channels. Running across the border into Arizona at 3AM is the same as butting in line at the grocery store. Except in the this case, you're cutting ahead of every person who wants to come to this country the right way.
