The same thing has happened in the past, but on worst levels. The Chinese exclusion act, the anti immigration laws passed in the 1800-1900’s. Xenophobia is nothing new. However, this country is not entirely against immigrants. They desire legal immigrants. I came over legally. Why can they not?
We are already over populated and illegally immigrating messes up where the government should concentrate funding.
America is more of mosaic than a melting pot.
No. That suggestion omits an amazing amount of relevant information, don’t ya think? There is a plethora of valid negatives associated with both illegal immigrants and welfare-bound legal immigrants that Americans should have a problem with. Calling them xenophobic and racist is just the typical liberal method of shutting the critics up.
I will not be complacent just because others show themselves beneath me by slinging around personal insults to make up for not having a clue what they’re talking about, and aren’t grown and rational enough to agree to disagree, most particularly when a large majority of the people that disagree on this issue do so for purely emotional reasons, lacking logic and the factual background on the matter, as well as the interest to learn the factual background.
America used to be quite a xenophobic nation. not only because of its attitude to immigrants but also the way i conducts its foreign policy. But i think America today and Americans today are slowly realizing how Mixed they are and its Not that xenophobic as it used to be before the late 80’s and early 90’s. But i think there is still some form of xenophobia there.
It not xenophobia, well in some cases yes, I think its more about one group seeming to get more priveleges than others.
Look at it this way. We’ve never had this high amount of immigration, illegal that is in the whole history of the United States. The previous immigration before was more diverse, with people evenly coming from different countries of the world, now the present illegal immigration mess only benefits one group of people in the US, Hispanics (or the new term Latino). A lot of US(American) hispanics are against illegal immigration,as they believe fair is fair, immigrate legally like everyone else and also give others countries and ethnic groups a fair chance of making up a proportion of the population. But we have a particular agenda driven group of hispanic leaders, who cry out racism and such to keep the spotlight of their growing clout by the flooding of this country of increasingly priveleged group of people.
Look at it this way of all the populations in the US who gets all of these perks:
1. Majority of special Bilingual programs just for them.
2. Public Health and Other services catering just to them.
3. Scholarship and Special Admissions programs just for them.
4. And special anti-discrimination protection for them (an unfair example of this is this scenario, true story look it up, Armenian guy (middle eastern group) goes out with a hispanic (salvadorean) girl, salvadorean guys don’t like it (racism), they kill him, but its not called a hate crime. If situation is reversed, it would be called a hate crime with more penalties attached to it)
If the racism card doesn’t work for advancing their cause, there is a tendency try the sympathy angle with talking about how hard is for them. How Hard it is? Mexico is one of the leading economies of the world, in part because it sends all of its poor to the US to get all their education and medical needs taken care of by US tax payer dollars, and who in turn send money back to Mexico. Is it any wonder Mexico is the biggest open borders advocate.
And then the third argument is that land was taken away by the US. I agree there were some asshole moves by the US in the past. But lets look at the facts:
That land was originally taken away by the european descended “hispancis” from the native americans/indians.
Certain lands US took over from Mexico have only been owned by them for less than 50 years (previous Spain and France).
Populations in those lands barely exceeded a few thousand of Mexican descent.
Present day infrastructure and economies of those lands became sucessful because of American development and guidance.
I have no problem with immigration as long as its diverse. One of those diversities is that I would allow open borders in the Americas only for those of Native American/Indian cultures and descended(meaning they still identified as indigenous) . I would increase the amount of immigration allowed for African, Carribbean, Asian and European countries to make it equal to what Hispanics have had the advantage of these past 30 years. Then I would reduce the hispanic immigrations as we have given enough amnestys to fill their quota, no offense aganist Hispanics, but give others a chance.
Diverse Immigration is good, monolithic immigration, one group shouldn’t be priveleged over everyone else.
America’s xenophobia is relative. Therefore, you must grade the US on the curve compared to other countries. If you do so, we are one of the least xenophobic countries on Earth.
In this country we seem to only have problems with those we don’t like. For instance, a boat full of refugees from Haiti will most likely be turned back, but from Cuba will be let in.
Go figure
