Are you against any immigrant or just illegal ones?

Americas problem is not with legal immigration,its with the invasion of millions of illegals that are flooding this country especially the southwest.And the majority of people in the US speak English or a reasonable facsimile there of.English is the language of our government .We are an English speaking society.
The illegal depresses the wages for labor related jobs,he is willing to take far below even the minimum wages that employers must pay here so he is accepting and under the table money that the American worker cant live on .The illegal does not pay income tax or any taxes on the schools,roads,hospitals etc that he uses without paying for.sales taxes do not address that need so are irrelevant.With easily obtained false or forged documents he can apply for welfare,public assistance and other public programs set up for citizens well being.Again he has not and should not be getting these services.
While the US may be composed of immigrants they were not illegal immigrants.The first whole scale law was not in effect until 1924.
Another point ,the Indians were also not native to the US having immigrated to this land via the Bering Strait from another Continent.
And you do find a lot of college graduates working at jobs to which they are highly over educated,but one does what one must to get along in the world.
I live in Arizona and we are over run with illegal immigrants,most ,if not all are Hispanic .We don't have a lot of those pesky lol Canadians sneaking across our northern border,looking for work.
I do not hate any one and I welcome legal immigration,but I adamantly and actively oppose any illegal immigrants from any country.10,000illegals plus are a problem in a country that is based on law.They are criminals because they broke the laws of the US by entering this country illegally.No to any Amnesty for criminal illegal immigrants.Deportation not legalization of criminals.

Im white and I gave you a thumbs down and a violation for your rasists post "proud white American"

We are all immigrants...except the native Americans. But most of us came from ancestors (sp?) who came over legally. Illegals should be arrested and deported.

Who cares

I'm against the illegals ONLY
i feel if any immigrant really want to make a better life for their self..than they will come in here legally...that way they can start working a higher paying jobs. and not have to worry about looking over their shoulder every few mins because they broke our laws.

i DO NOT believe that all the illegals are here for a better life...i believe that all the LEGALS are here for a better life because they worked so hard to get here the legal way.

Common Sense

Just the illegal ones..
America is a nation of immigrants...

Wolfgango Amadeo Mozarto

Illegals, terrorists, murderers, gangsters...by the way, what's wrong with the first guy "proud white american" does he belong to the KKK or something? lol

Illegal!

Smiling face

i am always with the Immigrants, against illegal ones who are not law abiding.

FoxAmericaLover!

I have a great loving relationship with a legal immigrant! So I support how he paid his dues and came to America.. A nation we both love! I do not support amnesty for illegal aliens. They did not follow the laws and should be deported.... my opinion.

AngelEyes

I'm certainly not against immigrants...because I'm one of them.
Ilegal ones I don't like bcz they buy property and go to schools that I can't afford and this isn't right. The schools and property here should be more accessible for citizens than they are to non-citizens.
Until you are a full-blown U.S. citizen, you shouldn't be allowed to go to schools here, buy real property here,

Have you ever seen the laws of other countries toward non-citizens? We should have such laws.

My opinion on this issue is that the uproar is not about people from other countries wanting to come and become Americans...it is about other people wanting to come to America, use it for what it offers for their benefit, and still hold allegiance to another country. When illegal immigrants are marching in the streets of America waving the flag of their home country then we have a problem because then what you have is a group of people that don't want to become Americans, but that want America and it's "free ride" to be their country...that is how countries are lost to other groups of people. Specifically, Mexico is pouring their poor and uneducated into our country while these people still hold their allegiance to Mexico and feel that our culture should change to theirs. They don't feel the need to speak our language, they display a flag of a different country and eventually, when their are enough of them here...they will feel...because they are the majority..that our country should become part of theirs and Texas and other parts of the south will become an issue between Mexico and the United States.

Just the illegal ones. I welcome anyone wanting to come into this country - just so long as they do so legally.

Just illegals. I think most Americans could care less if they come here as long as they come here legally and learn our language. Most of the illegals would probably come here legally if it was easy. I am no an illegal so I am not sure how hard it is or what they have to do to be legal. But millions do it every year so why cant they? People say they want a better life. Well then how is it better if they are standing and waiting at the local am pm to find a day laborer, or for farmers for just a few dollars an hour. Doesn't seem better to me and also having to hide out every where

oldman

Basically illegal, however what alot of people apparently don't understand is that many legal immigrants are being convinced to to immigrate to the USA by big corporations, to take jobs that unemployed Americans could do, but the corporations don't want to pay the Americans what they're worth. This has been alot of the hold up in congress, why they can't get a good immigration bill passed. Bush and the Senators don't want to lose the money these big corporations give them.

zclifton2

I am against Bush, he is not illegal, but he is illegitimate.

C J

Just illegal ones. Thanks for checking, there are some rednecks and morons here that don't know the difference.

C's mom

Unless you are American Indian, then we are all the descendants of immigrants or are immigrants ourselves. I have nothing against people immigrating to our great Nation, but I do have an issue with people breaking the law to come here. Illegal immigrants should be sent home and should not receive any benefits at all from the U.S. We are having a hard enough time trying to take care of our citizens.

fathead

I'm not against any of them. I just want the illegal ones to leave and come back legally.

TRUTHSEEKER

illegals and bush.

Jack S. Buy more ammo!

Illegals

Daisy

As the majority who answered you said, I am just against illegal immigrants. Welcome to all legal immigrants!

halfbright

OOHhh good question,in my opinion its the illegals but by the same token I have a problem with those trying to change the foundation of our country.Forcing us to their way of life..,when you want to make another county your home,you dont push your ways on the country in which you want to live.ie..,thier language,thier music.Its good to have thier culture but dont make me stop speaking english because you are too lazy to learn the language.

Soledad Mendez

I think they should be given a legal alternative that could be controlled and beneficial;illegal immigration ,as a phenomenom, is disrespectful and morally detrimental to both Mexico and the USA,let alne the socio-economic implications

After the way they've acted on Answers- ALL! ****** OUT

Mariposa

butterflyspy

'illegal immigrant' is actually a misnomer, a false naming. You're either an immigrant, a resident, a visitor, or you're an illegal alien, pretty much. They're trying to set up some kind of middle ground, guest worker etc., but the problem remains is that the countries people are coming from are screwed up, their economy doesn't support the number of children they've chosen to have, and thus the pressure to migrate to the United States en masse. Can't wait to see what they can do for/to america! LOL And, some idiot politician will quite likely throw the doors wide open, and we'll probably see an influx of about 100 million or so, this century. Then, when those same growth vectors take hold in the United States, and we go broke, we'll be applying to russia for foreign aid. God bless politicians and their social engineering! They've brought us gated communities, a runaway welfare system, social balkanization within our own borders, and no end in sight to things like the deficit.

I think our border policy is a mess. Hopefully, the Senate will join forces with the House in fixing it.

mighty_power7

america was a nation founded on immigrants - without them, we wouldn't be who we are today. i think we have worse things we should be thinking about than illegal immigrants - poverty, the katrina disaster, and greenhouse gas effects on climate change.

i say this also because, in a sense, i am an immigrant. i was born in canada to american parents, who lived in america at that time. but i was considered a canadian citizen until i was 4 yrs old and got my u.s. citizenship.

aposadaw

I am against neither kind. If you were in the shoes of an immigrant who had no family in America and you knew you would have a better life here then why shouldn't they try and come here. The only way to get a legal Visa is if you have a sibling or parent that is an American citizen. The reason Illegals come is not because they do not want to come legally, nut because they do not have the family or money to pay for the visa. If you look at the rise of immigration in America you could see that when the European immigrants got off of the boat in Ellis Island the only thing they had to do to stay in America was to pass a physical. If it was ok then then why can we not move closer to the old policies. I understand we can not let every one in based on health but people should be given an easier way to try and make a life in this country.

bunt

The only reason people come illegally is because they can't come legally! Who'd risk their life and pay smugglers if they could pay the US govmt and do it the legal way? Noone. If you had the same laws as whne your illegal ancestors jumped off those boats and got citizenship , you'd have no illegals at all.
We are less illegal than your ancestors-I've been here for years , working hard and paying taxes. What is illegal about me? I don't have a green blood, I'm just a human.
