Do you think immigrants should be allowed in the US???

Jessica

Only if they are legal immigrants.

The illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America.

Then the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.

The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

The illegals get welfare by stealing social security numbers and identities and using false papers. Therefore, the time limits under the Clinton welfare reform doesn't apply to them because once the time limit is up, all they have to do is get new stolen social security numbers and identities and false papers and start all over again. American citizens who draw welfare are limited to the time limits from the welfare reform and are then cut off. American citizens who fall on hard times and have to turn to welfare assistance have a harder time finding jobs that pay enough to live off of because the illegals have taken jobs and depressed the wages of those jobs still available to American citizens. Therefore, those in the lower working class are highly unlikely to ever be able to "work their way up" since the opportunities have been stolen which will entrap these people into poverty with little to no way out.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexicoâ€™s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.

Cultural imperialism

We experience Mexicoâ€™s assault on our country incrementallyâ€”as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our â€œimmigration problem.â€ Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and eventsâ€”all of them framed by the mediaâ€™s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigrationâ€™s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of â€œimmigrant rightsâ€â€”we donâ€™t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.

Another reason we miss whatâ€™s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as â€œgood dads,â€ â€œhard working folksâ€ seeking to better their lives and their familyâ€™s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nationâ€™s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchismâ€”to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialismâ€”to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially

(3) Economic parasitismâ€”to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.

of course ! as long as they follow our laws and assimilate themselves to our culture. that's what it's all about !

Sure. Immigrants are just fine.

But trespassers are another story!

If you were to go to China-would you expect to see Chinese people, or Americans? You would expect to see Chinese. If you went to Ethiopia-would you expect to see Africans, or Mexicans? America should be occupied with Americans. Period. If anyone thinks otherwise, you yourself should not call yourself American. Immigrants should stay the hell out of our country.

sacolunga

Yes, if they follow our laws and come here legally.

La De Durango!!!

yes, there is nothing wrong with immigration, as a matter of fact, this nation was founded by immigrants, and unless one is a full blooded native american, then they are a decendant of an immigrant. the problem comes in when people try to cross the boarder illegally, or do not follow and abide by the laws of the nation.
remember people, immigrants come to america from every country, not just mexico...

kimberly0627

Yes immigrants should be allowed. But laws are there for a reason. If they follow them than great, if they jump the fence NO.

I would not be here if immigrants were not allowed in America. My father came here legally and waited his turn.

OhGreatWiseOneinHipWaders

yes. Legal ones only. It is desirable for there to be some opportunity for migration of people for a wide variety of reasons, be they academics, labor, or affiliations of various sorts. It is necessary for each country to have control over the selection of the quantity and quality of person it allows to immigrate to best plan for and manage the resources and quality of life that it can provide for its citizens.

This is only the mildest of justifications for each of the presented positions.

bradsgranny

Of course immigrants should be allowed in, as long as they do it legally. Diversity breeds strength and intelligence, new ways of approaching and solving problems. All races have positive values to contribute, and none should be turned away out of hand simply because their culture is different.

Kitten

Yes, as long as it done legally.

ducky

If the Statue of Liberty says Yes, then that's good enough for me.
We are country of immigrants, are we not ?

Mona

Only if they can come in legally. NOT Illegally. They need to go through the process of LEGAL IMMIGRATION!!!!!!

DAR

Immigrants or illegal immigrants? I think we all take it for granted there should be immigrants of a type and in an amount our services can support without failing those already here. Illegal immigrants are above that amount. Given the presence of illegal immigrants, the proposed guest worker program, since it allows families to also come in and also has a 10 year statute of limitations creating a rolling amnesty, is also above that amount. I'd rather have amnesty of all but the undesirables, but with no family reunification preference, and scrap the g.w. program, at least until the border is fully secure, our services have grown to accommodate those here and we have figured a way to make the employers who benefit actually fund the education, health care and other impacts of their labor force.

Take a look at just the Los Angeles Unified School District's backlog of proposed school construction to see the kind of overcrowding and cost we are talking about.

blacck77

HELL yeah!!!!!....

legalboi65

I think immigrants should be allowed provided that they follow the rules and laws.

Resasour

yes.... they are what founded this country after all....

Hadenough

I think most of the talk is about Illegal Immigrants-not legal. There is a difference. Legally we would not allow this amount (millions in a short time)- because of drain on system-this is happening because of no order. And the people here are hurting by it.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES, LEGAL IMMIGRANT'S, DEPORT all illegal one's who broke AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAW'S to get here....If you are legal, Welcome, Enjoy, God Bless & may all your dream's come true..If you become a naturalized citizen, enjoy your new-found right's & freedom's, Support our government, pay your taxes & the people's government for the people will protect you....JUST DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IN THIS COUNTRY.....

-anonimus-

Sure. As long as they do it legally, its fine.

Sorry but mexicans our better than americans so yes its ok to be here

sealRborders

A CONTROLLED number??MAYBE!! There should be a LIMIT as to HOW MANY from one country can come here!!! But,NO,i do NOT believe that the 10-20 million ILLEGALS that we ALREADY have here should be legalized!!!!!!!!! THEY are CRIMINALS and should be DEPORTED!!!!!

Jake H

if they agree to follow our laws and regulations. Sure :)

Magical Marlo

i thought america was supposed to have a diversity of people and cultures....the hell with that if we arent allowing immagrants!
<3

Jrizzt J

no, the usa will eventually turn into the new china if we let everybody come into our country. doesnt overpopulation sound like fun, so much fun the government puts restrictions on how much land you can own or how many kids you can have. sounds like a party to me.

LN has3 zjc

Of course. We immigrated to the land of Native Indians and started a wonderful country. We complain about the language barriers and religious differences now but we brought those with us when we came here too.

fxbeto

100% yes!! Without them this country would not be what it is or have come so far from where it was...After all this USA was made from all the sweat & tears of the average people that walk this entire planet.....every race,creed,religion,and background!
