Would you date an undocumented person? - Page 2

I meant like a relationship, not just one or two dates.
Idk, maybe it's because of the experience with the person I dated. I mean if we're both afraid to drive and we can't really go out and do certain things then what's the fun of it you know? Idk. I can't explain it too well.
ummm....ok? lol

It's ok. I felt the same way towards

so I'm starting to think I'm the one with some kind of problem now. I guess yes, I would date my own kind.

Whoa!

For the people that said no. What if the tables were turned and a USC was asked this same question. How would you feel if they had the same response? Or the same comment as above? How would you feel?

I feel the same way about Democrats, yet I am forced to date them. I mean, what's more important, how someone votes or how the other person makes you feel.

It may be contradictory, since I am undocumented, but I am conservative. If I could vote, or rather when I can vote, I will vote republican. Mostly for economical and international affairs issues. I am not a social conservative, or I should say I am to a lesser extent, but I am definitely fiscally conservative, not a fan of social programs, and I most certainly believe in preemptive strikes, I abhor the I.R.S and the 8,000 page tax code that gets more tangled year after year, etc, etc, etc. I just don't see how someone can be a democrat.

I would understand. Sure, I would be a little offended, but I can see why they wouldn't want to date someone like me.

That's really interesting. And thats exactly why I made the distinction of social conservative. Not trying to spark a heated debate, but just out of curiosity, how do you feel about republican backed measures like SB 1070, or proposed legislation towards anchor babies, 287(g) or measures to block undocumented immigrants from any range of social services or human rights (health care, education, drivers licenses etc.)? Or the fact republicans have continually (and throughout history) blocked any and all efforts towards humane immigration reform?

I feel like being undocumented has politicized me to a great extent and made me follow politics a lot more closely, but seeing the hypocrisy, intolerance and hate that characterizes social conservative movement, esp. the evangelical extreme right (e.g. anti-gay rights, anti-choice, anti-immigration, anti-equality) is what pushed me to the left. Although it is worth noting, big business has always been an important key player in promoting immigration reform. But IMO, I just don't think I could ever personally reconcile the social and fiscal elements of being a republican.

But to be honest, I wouldn't call myself a democrat either. I honestly can't stand how polarized politics has become. And I'm not referring to a "simple vote" as what would stop be from dating somebody, but I'm referring to one's ideology and personal worldview. Maybe that doesn't matter to some. To me, it does. What I mean is I could never, ever date a minutemen or another xenophobe or social conservative who explicitly or implicitly detests or despises undocumented immigrants (or any other category of human beings for that matter). Why? Because I find hatred, discrimination and intolerance really unappealing. But also, because that is who I am, that is my identity, and to do so, is more than contradictory to me. It resembles self-hatred. It's like a jew dating an anti-semite. But I'm sure there are plenty of republicans out there who don't loathe us. (Or I'd like to hope so... though actions speak louder than words). I'm not trying to bash republicans out there. Just my personal preference!

If I liked the chick and she made me the happiest man on earth then I wouldn't let something simple like that get in our way. Nothing would change, I would continue to advocate for the Dream Act and continue to call Senators.

I don't understand why some of you would say no with such certainty. Some of you fell in love with US citizens, they didn't say no to the hell no to you.

^^^^ Actually, someone did just that to me when she found out. We had been together for almost a year, and I was so in love with her. When I told her she couldn't believe it. She broke up with me shortly after that. Said she didn't want to fall in love with someone with an uncertain future like that. I missed her a lot, but what else could I do. I'm not the nagging kind, I let things be.

There are some who have been married to US citizens. If everyone had that same mentality my aunt wouldn't have legal residence. My mom's brother wouldn't be happily married in the states.

It seems she wasn't completely in love with you, not saying she didn't like you. There are some people who have the same mentality as some of you on this forum but I'm glad to hear there are those that cherish love. Its best to come clean after the first couple of dates.

Now, if we are talking about a short month relationship just to get her/ him in bed, don't say a word lol

yeah i said hell to the no... when my usc asked me to marry him i even said hell to the no several time to my fool. but anyway i would never date someone in my situation because it would stress me out. no need to suffer more.
