Is it racist to keep illegal immigrants from working in the US?

(FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions)

Is it racist to keep illegal immigrants
from working in the US?

No, it is not racist to enforce the US laws and stop illegal immigrants
from working in our country.

Millions of illegal immigrants have taken jobs from US citizens.
Illegal immigrants have also caused wages to decrease for many
occupations.

We will stop all illegal immigrants from taking jobs from American
workers. It does not matter where they come from. We will not
allow them to take American jobs.

Whether they come from Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, South
America, or North America, it does not matter. We will protect our
borders and keep all illegal immigrants from taking jobs from US
workers.

Many jobs that have attracted illegal workers are entry-level
positions, in industries such as construction, agriculture, food
processing, etc.

These are the same jobs, along with manufacturing, that have
traditionally offered an opportunity for Americans to enter the work
force with minimal training.

Illegal immigration has hit American minority workers especially
hard. Black and Hispanic unemployment is much higher in the US
than it is for whites.

Many US citizens, black, white, Hispanic, and Asian, are being
denied jobs because of the huge influx of illegals.

Also, illegal immigrants are causing wages to decrease or stagnate.

Why pay an American worker $20 per hour to work in construction,
when you can pay an illegal $7 or less per hour?

Why pay an American worker $20 per hour for any job, if you could
get an illegal to work for $7 or less?

This is how millions of illegals are depressing wages for American
workers, which hits black and Hispanic workers especially hard.

So, it is definitely not racist to keep illegals from taking jobs from
American workers.

Quite to the contrary, it will actually help American minorities by
providing more jobs and higher pay for many jobs.

Remember, sometimes people will resort to name-calling, such as
calling someone a racist, if they are unable to win a discussion using
facts and logic.

It is somewhat similar to the juvenile acts of school students who
call their classmates names when they begin losing an argument.

We all remember those students. It appears that some of those
students never grew up, and they still resort to name-calling as a
feeble attempt to win a discussion.
