Fear of Immigration

Reading an article about Immigration Lessons from the Past, I've found this aggressive and (obviously) anonymous comment:

"As a Hispanic who has lived and traveled for nearly a decade in Latin America, I find it very disturbing that so called men of the cloth, men of the law, would allow the ills carried against foreign citizens by their own oligarchs and governments to be transfered , like any other liability to our country. The problem of illegal immigration is not nestled in our country, it resides in the corrupt and inept cleptocracies that encourage their poor and unskilled to come to our country, steal jobs, strangle wages and send their plunder home in cash remittances. (...)

This is a nation of laws and the flood of poverty from third world countries does nothing but undermine our middle class with a mirage of affordability when in reality we continue to slide back in comparison to the gilded classes. (...)"


First of all, "a Hispanic who has lived and traveled for nearly a decade in Latin America" shouldn't use the "illegal alien" (check the article for the full comment) expression. In fact, nobody should use it - unless you're a confessed racist.

Second of all, this comment is so full of hate, racism and stupidity, so full of s*it, I can't even answer to it. Immigrants are a "liability"? All immigrants are "poor and unskilled"??

I don't understand how people can have such a limited mind, nor why they are so afraid of immigration. I know immigration is a complicated matter, but the only reason I find for all this hate and non sense, is fear.

And last but not least, why nobody talks about how much the US is responsible for the poverty in third world countries? Or about how US government influence laws, business and commerce all around the world, in order to favor its own interests - at the expense of other countries interests and needs?
