The illegals here already take away alot of jobs, money and resources from people who need it who have lived here all their lives. Literally people joke around here that you can't get food stamps or healthcare or housing because we're white. There is probably some truth to it honestly. Indians come here and are given convenience stores and don't have to pay taxes, get rich and go back to their country rich af and living good. Same thing with the Mexican population, they get a job off the books, live in squalor and then when they save up a hundred grand they go back to Mexico rich af and living good. This country really needs to learn to take care of it's people first and other countries LAST, if anything's left.

    The sad part is I don't even dislike alot of these people, they're good people, I know quite a few people in my town here illegally. They're good people.. but at the same time they have come here and taken part in draining our country dry and a little part of me can't forget that. I am also not racist in any way, it just happens that what we are talking about is race based and that is my opinion on it, so please do not try and tell me I am racist.
    I believe that you left your Trump 2016 tag out of your post. The first red flag of your post was in the third sentence, where you are suggesting that immigration/accepting refugees threatens the "white-ness" of the country (and if anyone follows my previous posts on racism and "injustice," this statement means A LOT coming from me). This should be the LAST concern of anyone deciding on refugee policy - these people are fleeing slaughter, war, and intolerance. You realize that the greatest number of ISIS' casualties are other Muslims, right?

    Your ignorance is further showcased in your very astute observations of how Indians "are given convenience stores and don't have to pay taxes" (I mean, wtf - do you work for FOX news or something? Where do you get your facts?!?), and how Mexicans take whites people's jobs and work off the books - are you fucking kidding me? You do realize that illegal immigrants - take "Mexicans," which you railed against, aren't exactly taking positions as physicians that brainiacs such as yourself would otherwise get, right? Where exactly are these amazzzzing paying jobs that poor Americans are being robbed of?

    I love how the uneducated majority in this country think that they are entitled to good paying jobs simply becusse they are white and "American." You want a good paying job? Get a fucking education, and stop vying for entry level jobs meant for the most recent of high school grads. People like you irritate me so much - you realize that the average salary of a first year college graduate is like 35-45K a year, right? Are you aware of how expensive a college education is? What exactly do you think that these uneducated American masses deserve to be paid? You also realize that these "illegals" aren't coming to this country to even make a fraction of that, right? They aren't coming to this country and demanding better paying jobs...

    Think about how much of an asshole you wild be for talking this way about the Jews during WWII....or are these cases different because the people aren't white, and ISIS isn't creating concentration camps? They are skipping that part altogether, and find that bullets, torture, and rape more effective tools than canisters of Zyklon B. Why the fuck do you think that women in some of these communities have committed suicide rather than risk the chance of falling into the jihadists' hands?

    There is so much that you said that I find absolutely disgusting, but worst of all are your ridiculous assertions that you aren't racist. There are several forms of prejudice and racism - many of which do not require a white pillowcase, and you come across as an ill-informed, xenophobic bitch by spewing the misinformation and bullshit that you did in that post. People like you scare me, because not only do you make up a chunk of the population (and even more of the right establishment), but because you people can potentially hold office and shape policy. I have said it before, and I will say it again, scholars should run the government. Even now, we have senate committees on things like climate, that are run by people with little to no education on the matter. How horrifying is this?!

    Update - thank you all for the wave of rep! It means a lot, and made me smile during this very hectic morning <3

    I had to give you rep for this. The mere fact that I, myself, growing up in the suburbs of the midwest was surrounded by so many people who just saw minorities as polluting America was one of the biggest reasons as to why I left.

    People who are uneducated because they did not WANT to stay in school blame the system and immigrants. Never for a second do they ever stop and think that even without "illegal immigrants" their lives will still be shit because they don't want to work for things.
    The anger and animosity is astounding.
    No one is entitled to anything. These "Mexicans and Indians" are successful in their jobs and businesses because they worked hard to get where they are at, not because of their ethnicity.

    I love politics.

    I don't give a flying fuck who comes to this country. It's the people in office who need to get the fuck out.

    End of story.


    And before someone wants to say "but they could be terrorists"... Guess who else was a terrorist? Adam Yauch, the Unibomber, any kid who shot up a school and every piece of shit who shoots a cop or an innocent civilian. Keeping some scared and oppressed Muslims in their hostile environment where we or another country will probably bomb them isn't a viable option for peace. There's ISIS in every state in this country already. If you're scared, quit being a social media warrior and pick up your 2nd Amendment Right and prepare to defend your shit. I'm ready. Bring it on.

    I greatly appreciate the rep, and could not agree with you more. The whole idea of American exceptionalism and entitlement is disgusting. As someone in the field of psychology, what worries me even more is the fact that certain political institutions and movements use buzz words, and this for some reason, resonates with the uneducated masses. "I'm gonna get you good paying jobs" is SUCH bullshit, Dem or Repub. you want good paying jobs? Get a bloody education. THAT is what opens doors. I was raised in New England, and exposed to many different types of people. To this day, my father is a Rush Limbaugh listening right-winger, and the lack of factual base for the shit these people spew is alarming.

    Scapegoating is an ancient tradition (those of you who are familiar with the history of this word will realize that I just made a funny); it is always easier to blame others for your shitty predicament, then to reflect on your own shortcomings or laziness. There are plenty of reasons why different jobs pay different wages, and like it or not, education plays a big part in this, and not necessarily for the reasons that you would expect. Various degrees of education simply signify ability to be diligent and dedicated. Most of what you learn in college will likely not impact the day to day life of your career (unless you are a doctor or lawyer, for example), since SO much is learned through experience, and very few jobs simply require direct application of curriculum. A college degree demonstrates ability to commit to a goal and reach it, arguably the most important requirement for success in the job world - and this indication is further underscored by higher and higher levels of education, since they require more and more dedication.

    Simply put, an education is an investment in your future.

    What are you views of people saying that they could be terrorist that come into our Country to do harm?
    Do you think that we should help the people right in front of us that need it like the homeless?? How do you think this can affect the economy? I love your views on things!!

    Yea, I don't think that people realize how widespread Islam is, and just how many followers there are in the world. One only needs this information, and a 4th grade understanding of fractions, to understand that Islamic extremism is an anomaly, contrary to what some pundits may suggest. If you truly want something to fear, worry about the sleeper cells comprised of Americans (in the case of this country), people that look like you and me, and less about the black-clad, bearded, Allahu-Akbar chanting jihadis that you see on CNN.

    Islam is probably the biggest religion or at least second top with probably millions of Americans following it.

    Islam is about peace anyways so the extremist are technically going against there own religion and technically not Islamic since they are going again what Islam stands for.
