This July 4th, I know I’m supposed to hate illegals immigrants, but being in LA, I’m struggling.

The guys who do the maintenance in my condo complex are really nice and work hard. I try to hate them, and be a good American, but I’m finding it difficult. Not sure what I should do.

I'm in LA too. Many people I know are immigrants or children of immigrants. I don't know who's legal and who's not. It's not something I think about, and I don't feel any animosity toward people who are in this country from somewhere else. I would support helping illegal immigrants get legal status.

People just want to scapegoat all their problems onto illegal immigrants. Those in power want you to do that too, so you look away from them.

@HiFiRaver Well said…
you are NOT "supposed" to hate illegal immigrants
there is a wide range between those very few that are here for trouble, most have come to better their lives, and
it is the value they bring to our country

do not hate
embrace

What humane person told you or has you thinking you should have immigrants? Unless you are 100% native American your own family is immigrants--they are people too, mostly coming here for a better life for themselves or family, just like your ancestors...do not believe the nonsense lies that they are horrible violent criminals or bad people...be a loving human!!!

You need not hate them because you are struggling.

So if they got deported would you be willing to step in and do their job ?
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@kodiac No.

@Bumbles Exactly so you don't care about them you only care about your own comfort

@kodiac They work and pay taxes and help the economy.
This is a contemptible post for Independence Day. But not atypical of you.

@LamontCranston Thanks. I do like being contemplative.

Los inmigrantes también son personas

(Immigrants are people too.)
