How has illegal immigration affected your life?

princess_needs_prince2005

I am a 9th grader in school and immigration really affects me and my life! Last year there was an immagration walk and a bunch of people (hispanics) missed school which was unfair to the whites! This cauzed a big roit at the high school which lead to whites walking out of the school just becauz it was unfair that the hispanics got excused absents! Then on Sencio Demio a bunch of people were wearing shirts that said mexico and a bunch of other thing, this lead to buring of American flags and Mexican flag. Also on this holiday they hung a mexican flag in the reading room of my school and took down the American flag. Also Hispanics went through the year wearing BP (brown power) shirts which started making whites wear BPK (brown pride killers) shirts. Our school has done nothing about this! I am not racist but this illegal immagration stuff is scary, hispanics go around killin whites and white go around killin hispanics! This is what illegal immagration and legal immagrtion has done in my life and to me! Nothing bad has happened yet, but then again this year is just starting!~~

Increased costs =
Medical
School (2 kids in collage, 27% increase this year)

Loss =
no funds for roads ( and they want 50 million more Illegal cars on the road)
space to live ( been to a public place lately?)
Local schools having fund drives for trailers to put students in
"Trailers"
I could go on. YOU have been affected, now and in the future whether you realize it or not

When I was young, my father worked construction in Tampa Florida. At some point Tampa became flooded with immigrants who would do the same work as my dad, excpet they would do it for about $4 an hour. Needless to say we had to move.

About 8 or 9 months ago an illegal immigrant hit my car. He had no green card, no license, and no insurance. Who do you think was left with the bill.

Also we are all affected by these people not paying taxes. If they manage to get on well-fare, which is not too hard, it costs us money.

I am a supervisor at a Meat plant. I have had to suffer with people that dont speak English. I have also had to hear people in the com unity whining that they cant work at my plant because aliens have all the jobs there. I believe it is true.

Not much. When I lived in Houston some illegals lived in a house on my street and they stole from me and I had to go and confront them to get the item back, but I don't lump all illegals into their lot. They were just bad seeds, like anyone can be.

Higher Taxes and you pay to for all of the freeloaders that are able to get Social security and health benefits with fake Id's. Plus most if not all use the excuse they no Habla Engles when it comes to getting in trouble. Almost everything here in California has to be translated into Espanol because we have people who refuse to learn Basic English. Talk About Stupido!!!!

Your Automoblile insurance, health insurance and taxesgo up to cover the expenses incured by illegal and legal freeloaders. They dont pay and you dont think the govt. is giving the handouts from their pockets do you, The money is made up for by raising all the fees you pay. So believe it or not YOU ARE AFFECTED.

Are you kidding? It's turning my beautiful home state of Texas into a stinking Mexican province. Half the time you can't even communicate. The whole country better wake up. ROUND THEM UP AND SEND THEM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just tired of speading my hard earned tax money on illegal immigrants who don't have to pay taxes. Must be nice.

And for God's sake...speak English. This is not Mexico or Spain or any other spanish-speaking nation. This is AMERICA.

They effect everyone on here whether they realize it or not. Taxes, prices you pay for goods , and your nation's laws for starters.

I am affected because in my line of work, they undercut normal prices and take business away, even tho their business isn't legal standing. (having insurance, safety compliance,etc)

Dr. Evil

I was beaten and maimed by illegal immigrants. I am crippled for life. 30% of our felons in prisons are illegal immigrants. Very few come here to work and they are very good people, but many of them just come to rape the system.

~Saratini~

alot of companys now are asking for bilingual employee but it hasn't affected me yet becuause i have been at the same job for ever

DR. Z

i am affected by increased traffic, increased taxes, increased crime. increased cost associated with having to deal with multiple languages, increased loitering, increased burden on our infrastructure, increased class sizes.

decreased job opportunity, decreased wages, decreased services for real americans, decreased sense of culture

Grid lock is one. They aren't the cause, but it would be considerably better if they weren't on the road.

x-factor

they have to realize that in order to be respected- they MUST learn english.

its important to assimulate ASAP- if they want to sty here- PAY bills here, BUILD homes here, PAY taxes here and LEARN ENGLISH!

For God's sake!
Then there are many who DO know english but choose not to speak it when they are in public..lame, lame

high crime rates, wild *** kids running all over the fricken place in stores etc, but more than that PAY YOUR DAMN BILLS!

LucyBoop

they have to many children, and will work for anything.

cowboy

our wallets ,our schools, our hospitals, our laws. you have read about all the crime?

charger_413

wutta-croc

do not like all the spanish that crammed down our throats whenever we go out these days.... I mean- live HERE learn the damn language...not the other way around.

why do so many ppl think the rest of us americans need to know spanish?

are mexicans too stupid to learn english?? too slow...or what.

let them be encouraged to KNOW english..or back they go...goes for the rest of the 4nrs too

Surf n' Snow

are you kidding? The illegals are EVERYWHERE! I live in a NICE part of CA, and one morning when my mom was taking my little brothers to school, an illegal stole a car... he came to an intersection where he had a red light, he ran the light, smashing into my mom's car. This happened on a major street right in front of the school. Luckily there was a police officer there that day trying to catch people speeding, he saw the whole thing and pulled the illegal loser over. They caught him and jailed him, but still, he put my family through that accident. Another time, a bunch of illegal children were walking down the street there was a BIG group of them and one got pushed out into the street and hit the side of my car as I was driving by!!!!!!!!! I could not believe it! The illegal kid was totaly fat too and it dented the side of my car!!! The police came out and determined it was the illegal's fault.
Thats only 2 stories... enough for now, but you get the idea. They totaly mess up our lives, they are taking over!
stupid illegals!
DEPORTATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

illegal immigration affects our way of life in America,,, read some history,,,

Paying for anchor babies, school, the illegal that burned the American flag in my town square.

Are you saying only the relatives of the 28,000 Americans so far that have been murdered by them only have a reason to have their life affected?

I hope your not going to say that unless their are soldiers in the street waving guns from a foriegn army is necessary to know we're being invaded.

these illegal ailiens are trying to take us over.. I'm curious if there will be any good answers in this, how can an illegal immigrant affect you? They're gonna take away your job as street sweeper?

my2cents

They take our jobs from us because they'll work for peanuts

Evidently you're not from an area that has become unindated with illegals taking over your schools and neighborhoods! I live in such an area because of the carpet indusrty and my home town has become a dumping ground for illegals. This used to be a great place to raise kids and now it is a drug haven, auto accidents are up tremendously and we have to carry uninsured motorist insurance (at an extra cost) in case we get involved in an accident with a drunk Mexican that has no license or insurance. I have longer waits in the checkout ot the grocery store because of Mexicans buying....not buying...using EBT (food stamps) and getting 2 or 3 buggies full of groceries. I can only get half a cart if I'm lucky, because I have tp pay for my family's groceries.
Our kid's education is getting behind because of all the students that cannot speak English taking time away from our kids. We have to keep adding on to our schools because of so many illegals coming in and that takes OUR money away from OUR kids. I could go on and on about how it is affecting me and mine, but I think that you get the jest of it!
