If all 12 to 20 million illegals left today, they wouldn't be missed. The USA would continue.
I get tired of pro-illegals saying all Americans are sitting on their verandas drinking mint julips while the illegals do all the hard work. What a bunch of baloney.

Welcome to all legal immigrants. Goodbye to illegals. They're lawbreakers and border sneakers and they don't need to be here.

They have given us hours of entertainment on this board.
And to add to Rox's statement, they keep the Border Patrol busy too.
I think they also have made our Government-sweat a bit since they had to address what they didn't want too.

The labor stuff is Baloney-we all know that. They need us not the other way around.

b.w.

badmane........don't kid yourself another minute. I am a born American. I have literally shoveled sh*t for a living. I needed work and it was an honest buck. I am sure I am not alone in doing a menial job to feed my kid.

Nothing....

WildThing

Uh, they, uh, well, they also.....hmm, can't think of anything....oops, just thought of something - they give the US Border Patrol something to do in hunting them down.

One Big Daddy

soul candee

"we are dam sure going to need them "when another threat hit this country. "just my opinion" plz respect my opinion.....

The money they earn generates tax revenue. For example; they make purchases, increasing sales taxes and gasoline taxes generated. They rent, therefore, property taxes by the landlord is made on time instead of being delayed due to increases in vacancies; federal and state income taxes are paid; although they cannot claim any refunds.

Some give blood, some do community service, all overpay taxes, all work for less than they deserve..so that you an I can buy things at a cheap price. I think you need to hug an illegal immigrant today.

Well, if you think an economy with somewhere around 7 million fewer workers is a good idea then you're not very well-informed.

That's not to say it wouldn't be a WHOLE lot better if we had decent border control and only LEGAL workers in this country.

shpicey

What country are you talking about? Do you think that the US is the only country that uses this forum? Get a grip on yourself.

bobemac

The only thing I can think of is they're really starting to piss alot of Americans off and cutting their own throats in the process.

Modern day illegals or the english and Irish that came here? Come on who cares really. Ask why your country doesn't give as much mullah to Mexico as they do Israel and maybe we would not have an "illegal" problem. Next figure out why the DEA is a cash business. Or how much oil is more important than life. Come on, Mexicans or the least of this world's problems. Someday we may need them when someone gets pissed enouogh at our country and we need some place to flea. Oh and a southener may not have time to go to Canada.

"they hurt the economy that way..fact"

You would rather their labor substitute -- American teenagers and college students -- serve coffee, McChickens, nanny, demolish and landscape -- at inflated wages -- than pursue internships and office jobs?

The consensus in business education is that the United States workforce must become more creative and knowledge-based to compete well with China.

If these Mexicans are working less then they should be paid what hell are we suppose to do. Hell it's free country. All these Mexicans like to complain but none seem in any hurry to leave.
First they pick fruit, now it's roads,houses,bridges, soon they will breathe air for you, just who does pick the fruit ?

Fluttery

Hmmm,one good thing...I've got two.One is 5yrs old and the other is 4yrs old.Two of the cutest little boys you've ever seen.Yup,their illegal father did two great things.

I understand the ploy against illegal immigration.And i think something should be done to fix the problem,but being sarcastic and hateful just aren't the ways.To be against something is one thing,but to be mean is another.

My husband is at the moment still illegal.We are working on that as I write this.But,well,if he was legal,I can't figure out how he would be any better or worse than now.Legality doesn't automatically make a person good.Hmmm,sorry,don't get it.

Bravo Labatt13.. well stated... hey Zoe you forgot to put the word illegal in front of Mexican again... are you comments directed to all Mexicans or just the illegal ones....if it is to all of them that is racist and you are not anti illegal.. you are anti Mexican
