Do you think Mexican & Latino immigrants could help or hurt America?

The main impacts are less jobs for Americans, lower pay, overburdened schools, taxpayer funded health care for the illegals, gangs, drugs, democrat voters and overburdened welfare systems just to name a few.

Obama announces he is putting amnesty on the agenda! 70+ percent of Americans oppose amnesty. That means a whole lot of DemonRats included. You canâ€™t find 70% of Americans who can agree if it is raining outside! The audacity of this ego-maniac to pursue allowing 20 million illegals a path to citizenship after they have willfully broken our immigration laws, taken jobs from Americans now that unemployment is at 8% nationally, caused a plague of crime, and cost us trillions of dollars in health, welfare, education and incarceration costs. This is the ultimate outrage!!! The only thing that would be more stupid is to send Guantanamo terrorists to the United States and put them on welfare! Oopsâ€¦.he is doing that too!

I am a law abiding American. I value my citizenship. No other country in the world would allow a tidal wave of low-skilled, largely uneducated peasants from the third world to blatantly enter their country and demand to be made citizens while being showered with all of the social spending we have allowed our corrupt politicians in Washington to bestow upon them!! These illegals do not deserve a path to US citizenship!! The only path they deserve is the one that sends them back to their country of origin! America can no longer afford to be Santa Claus to the world. We must take care of Americans first!

Americans have had it with our federal government and will instill changes in Washington. Patriots can only be pushed so far and people, we are there! This trip down Socialist Lane is turning out to be much more frightening than we originally feared. Message to La Raza, ACLU and other worthless parasite groups: the liberal, bleeding heart â€œyour breaking up Mexican familiesâ€ is falling on deaf ears! I am sick and tired of the goodwill of Americans being used against us as a weapon. Hey Peedro, you donâ€™t want to separate your family? Then why did you leave a few hundred of them in Me-hee-co to come here and drive 25 miles an hour in the fast lane? Anchor baby? Donâ€™t care. That is one law that needs to be changed pronto! Bought a house? Tough! Rent it out from Mexico. No excuse will work. Enough is e*&#@nough!

If they come here LEGALLY then they will help America.
If they come here ILLEGALLY then they hurt America.

Legal ones want the exact same thing we who have born here want...............freedom, liberty, democracy, and the ability to pursue ones dreams.

Illgals immigrants are completely of a different mind set. By crossing our borders and entering this sovereign nation illegally, they do not abide by the laws.

It just is. :)

Hurt. They have brought down the wages at ware houses. When I was looking for a job I had to completely bypass all ware houses cause they didn't pay enough. They used to be a good job a while back.

sunny

hurt......see the problem is that americans can work the jobs at the turkey plant just the same as an immigrant. but they won't cause they can get 400 a month in foodstamps and free pain and diet medicine from medicade to sell.and free cash aid of about 4-500 dollars and cheap rent . so . why should they work for min, wage when they get enough welfare to live off of.? then the immigrants can bring in there family and friends and half of them can work and the other half can get welfare too......if welfare laws were changed we would not need extra people to help do work that americans can do,,,,

They Mostly hurt only because if they keep on coming over there will eventually be a problem involving them. So in my opinion its a very BAD thing for us.

Do you think Mexican & Latino immigrants could help or hurt America?

A. Legal Immigrants, YES, they can help America...
ILLEGAL Aliens, They can ONLY hurt America as they are leeches.

Have you ever been to Arizona?
Before the 'down turn', You could have spent $1.4M on a new house and STILL not be sure that the house was NOT built by ILLEGAL LABOR.

Teenagers graduating High School this summer not only have to battle each OTHER to get a job, they have to contend with adults laid off whom will do whatever they have to (Legally) in order to support their families and Immigrants (Legal and Illegal Aliens).
It is JUST SO Sad, that OBUMMER (as have his predecessor Chief Executives) has once again eroded American Youth's work options in order to PANDER to the Predominately Democrat within the Hispanic Ethnicity

1 you don't say whether you are talking about illegals or someone that is here legally or even Americans.Americans and legals are great they are what makes up our great country .But on the other hand if you are talking about illegals will just look at California for the answer to what illegals do for us here.And here in Texas at the ER I work they never pay and they only want free health care that is the reason they come to the ER.They are a burden and anyone that says differently I say come to my town and see for your self.

A skilled or hard-working workforce, whether it be native or immigrant, is good for a country. They make good wages, do good work, pay taxes and contribute to society as a whole.

But bringing in truckloads of immigrants who don't pay taxes, live off the system, and can barely read or write in their own language? You'll have a hard time convincing me that it would benefit a country in any way.

Well, if you look and see at the impact they have on the economy, if it grows, it will only help the united states as a whole.

Hispanic entrepreneurship, buying power on the rise

(CNN) -- If you don't think Hispanics are a major force in the American marketplace, think again.

Hispanic business ownership is growing three times as fast as the national average and Hispanic purchasing power is expected to reach more than $1 trillion by 2011, according to the Census Bureau and other studies.

All too aware of this growing force, many companies are wooing Hispanic consumers and their spending power.

"The Hispanic consumer market here in the U.S. is actually as big or bigger than the GDP [gross domestic product] of Mexico or Canada," Michael Barrera, CEO of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, told CNN. "We're the second largest economy in North America."

Hispanic advertising to outpace general advertising

The Hispanic population has quickly grown to be the largest minority population in the United States, and as such the advertising market for the group is wide open. According to a recent study, advertising growth within the Hispanic population will outpace the general market by 2010.

Definately help. All immigration has led to economic growth in this nation's history. ALL of it.

america as in USA or america as in america (continent)???

their presence WILL grow, they will be 45% by 2050, so you better have them working and going to school rather than leaving them on the farms, like it or not.
