Does this pretty much sum up the issue of illegals?

A common tactic employed by immigration proponents is to accuse opponents of racism. They charge that opponents want to deny a new breed of immigrant the chance to become Americans as many of our immigrant forefathers did. They paint a Norman Rockwell-type picture of honest, hard working immigrants, planting gardens, working in fields, doing the work “no Americans want to do.” So, in town after town across the nation the battle rages. And that is really the point. Illegal immigration is not just a border issue. It is a national issue affecting every large city and almost every small town. It must be understood that illegal immigration is not just a matter of some unhappy peasants hoping to seek a better life. It is a $300 billion a year industry, combining the interests of multinational corporations with those of drug cartels and Latino street gangs. Caught in between are American communities and the American way of life. Some cities, especially those along the points of entry at the border have become dangerous no-mans lands, where no property is safe, no American citizen is able to leave their home unarmed and some politicians turn a blind eye as they profit under the table. As a result American civilization is beginning to break down. That is why so many Americans refuse to back down on the issue, continuing to demand a crack down, no matter what name calling they must endure.
Senator Gillibrand’s position on illegal immigration represents the position of the vast majority of those New Yorkers who have taken the time to understand what the true cost of ILLEGAL immigration is costing their communities.

The issue is simply about the abrogation of law. The effort needs to be focused against the individuals, businesses and politicians who create this problem and cheat honest business owners and workers by allowing illegal hiring practices under the table. In short, the issue is about enforcement of the law, cost and corruption.

Often Imitated, NEVER Duplicated

No, but this does.

democrats allow illegal aliens into the USA thinking of them as potential voters.

republicans allow illegal aliens into the USA thinking of them as cheap labor

I very much agree.

I would say that just about covers it.

Decades ago a person coming to this nation did so out of a desire to start a better life through legal means, they learned English and became citizens legally. They did not rape the system in order to steal what is not theirs. Today there are few who actually attempt to gain access to this nations riches legally and therefore some how believe they are above the law in all respects. This type of behavior needs to be stopped for the overall good of this nation.

need secure borders and no amnesty

The whole issue of illegal immigration hinges around supply and demand. Come down hard on those individuals and companies that hire people without the proper documents .There are plenty of legal immigrants and US citizens looking for work.

Just "B" Free

The first answer is a case in point as to why we need to rid ourselves of these vermin a fast as we can. [ unless the first posters rant has been removed already] and actually i would like to see him removed from within our borders and depsited back on his side of the border .

And they breed in record breaking numbers. They somehow think that having 8 kids will help them somehow. This just shows lack of basic logic. Why would you not think something like that through? You are going to be working your butt off to support these kids. probably 2 jobs so you are really not going to be spending any time with your kids. If your not around your kids you can't teach them or be a good example. Now these 9 kids all have kids at age 15 and repeat their parents mistake. Most Latinos are uneducated, and have no general knowledge of basic american laws. They are also unaware of sanitization.(mexico has no FDA). Their U.S. Latino pop. is expected to reach up to 50% of the american public by 2050. This is going to affect the quality of our country greatly. I don't want to live in another Mexico. I don't want to be the one forced to learn a second language. If I live to see this I'll ******* leave and go to Europe.

Americans have been saying what you just said for over 100 years now... hmm doesn't seem so bad now since it has turned out pretty good

Looks about right to me

Sadly, that sums it up. I am glad to hear at least one politician has the guts to say it like it is.
I will add that Illegals only do jobs Americans won't do because cheap illegal labor has depressed wages. If cheap labor was scarce, these jobs will pay more.
With all the job layoffs recently, I think out of work Americans will demand the illegals are shown the gate, hopefully in a new border fence. If I needed the job an illegal had, I would call I.C.E.

Absolutely CORRECT.....and "We R toast" is right that first answer must be an illegal cucaracha whom I reported 4 or 5 times, and complained to Y.A. but to no avail, they are still letting him create new accounts-after having suspended old accounts-even though there is a way for Yahoo to delete all service to the "vermin"...(He has been removed...but watch the cucaracha appear on another question in few minutes.)

Roboron

Lets just say Mexicans are really having a bad reputation in America if you haven't notice.If you are a Mexican acting like a cholo,and you think your cool because your only around your raice.But the main point is Mexicans think of themselves as having a higher standard in America just because other Mexicans think they're own raice is providing them with support.Asians,Americans,and Blacks want you all mostly out of America.For those that are racist Mexicans nothing to prove and being worthless wasting America's youth should get out of there.You'll understand that Mexicans aren't the best raice.You are the lowest,even though were being out of mind your are going to be the lowest raice no matter what.Even you kill me with physical tactics you are still the lowest raice.You should know because other people that Mexicans trying to migrate a new culture called "Cholos" are very stupid.I cannot even explain a prompt or proposition of why Mexicans are very self stupid.Please if you are a Mexican and you are doing the following things I just explain then don't do it.You are lowering down your raice's reputation.

you seem to have a very limited understanding of the problem. you only focus on one aspect when there are very many other factors that make this issue so complex. you haven't considered the role of poverty in this issue, immigration laws ( not just how illegal immigrants have broken them), the money in taxes we get from illegal immigrants (yes they actually do pay them contrary to popular belief), the economic positive pull that these individuals have in their cities, the fact that a lot of them have american citizen children, and probably a whole lot of other things that i am forgetting.

the main and only drive behind illegal immigration, not just here but world wide, is poverty. and until we understand that and do something about it, we will continue to have this problem. If we ignore poverty in latin america then it will undoubtedly get worse, and people will begin to become angry and frustrated. So who do you think they will take their anger out on?

Game Over03
