By your line of reasoning, people in Maine would be the most anti-illegal since they wouldn't know any illegals personally. But it's people in the West and South that see the illegals up close, and we are the ones who suffer from illegal immigration the most. The border states are hopping mad, and we have intimate knowledge of illegals.
As for understanding their "society", we couldn't care less since it's obviously so dysfunctional that it must ship its trash over the border. We judge illegals by their behavior, not their "society". |

Do you look at our schools and examine our school budgets and test scores and hospital budgets and understand where WE are coming from? |

I deal with illegals on pretty much a daily basis, and have for years. Usually when I'm taking them to jail. |

Very good question.
I am one of the few "haters" who have quite a few sources for my opinions.
I live on the same street as they do. Work at the same factory as they do, and have spoken AT LENGTH with the only one at my jobsite who speaks english. Furthermore my children are one of the few whites in their classes.
So yes, UNFORTUNATELY I am forced to interact with them. |

I live in Dallas Texas my friend. I see and interact with them daily. On the streets, in the stores, and most of all--in our tax supported public hospital that births more babies than any other hospital in the US on an annual basis, the majority of which are children of illegal aliens.
Do you have any freakin' idea how much my County Hospital District tax bill is? Do you not get that illegal aliens from all over north texas flock to Parkland Memorial hospital....not just those who are in Dallas but from all over the north part of the state? But the homeowners in dallas are footing the bill for their free healthcare......
Meanwhile the money they earn illegally is not taxed, and sent OUT of this country to be spent in the economy elsewhere.....
Every public announcement is TWICE AS LONG as it needs to be....once in ENglish, once in Spanish....thereby wasting my time and my energy....
Oh did I mention the addt'l expense for everything we purchase and every service we access to be printed in two languages?
I live it every freakin day, every day....... |

Grew up around it, deal with it consistently in my town, and have dealt with it as an employer and consultant for other employers
Illegals need to be shipped home. Don't have a problem with those here legally and seeking to better themselves |

I am surrounded by them so I have no choice but to interact with them at times. I have personally had bad experiences with them and i've never seen such racism. We used to have a day labor not far from me in a shopping area and everytime I walked by they would say things in spanish and grab their crotch. I also had one steal my car battery,one tried to break into my home and another one blew dirt and sand into my sons eyes(only about 9 months old at the time) with a leafblower on purpose. I've had quite enough interaction thank you very much and now I want them gone. |

I lived near Guadalajara, Mexico for two years. I volunteer at a hospital where more illegal Mexicans are having babies than are legal residents of this country. A lot of hospital services can no longer be funded because of this financial burden. A Saudi flight student, who overstayed his visa, by years, broke into my house and beat the cr ap out of me. Most of the students in my engineering classes, years ago, were students from Iran, they left when they graduated. A great bunch of kids. I am all for LEGAL immigration ... but the illegals .. well, I don't wish anything nice for them!!! |

I live in a sanctuary city.
How about you? Do you live in an area that has had to face the consequences of illegal immigration? What is the culture of an illegal immigrant? You are picking a certain group, I am talking about the group as a whole... My city has many different groups of illegal aliens, which culture would you like to discuss?
We have the highest cost per capita per child educational system in the US now since becoming a sanctuary city, we have overcrowding in schools that were meant for citizens which are now packed with the children of illegals, we used to be the highest per capita income in the US.... not any more. Our largest hospital is asking for federal help to keep the emergency room doors open due to losses. |

I do, each and everyday. I see decent people who are just trying to survive and I see people who just try abuse the system. There are more decent than bad in my day to day experiences. |

I deal with legal and illegals everyday because of where I live...
My son is half hispanic, so his relatives on his dad's side talk about their view's on the situation
I also had a boyfriend from central america that is a legal resident that used to talk about the political situation..
Besides how I am affected financially and mentally by this situation, I also keep abreast of the politics on both sides regardless of my political party... |

I do understand, and I am not interested. They broke the law. Many of them live off of services that my tax dollars are funding, including police, fire, education, healthcare. The only culture they should care about is the American culture.
I want them, their anchor babies and their strain on my country gone. I don't care anymore.
Here's my side of the story:

No one on here understands the "culture and society" of all the countries that the illegal aliens from over 100 countries that were deported last year. Nor do you. Nor does it matter.
What matters is they broke our immigration laws coming here and they are ILLEGALLY here.
Every person from every country has their own excuse. It matters not. There is but one way to immigrate here. LEGALLY. Period. |

The issue becomes a problem when they want to change our laws, according to their way of thinking, and that's why I live in the States and not anywhere else, because I agree with (good or bad) our system. |

I live in Texas.
Analysis of the latest Census data indicates Texas’s illegal immigrant population is costing the state’s taxpayers more than $4.7 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Even if the estimated tax contributions of illegal immigrant workers are subtracted, net outlays still amount to more than $3.7 billion per year. The annual fiscal burden amounts to about $725 per Texas household headed by a native-born resident.
Now - ask me why I should give a damn about people who are coming here illegally and making ME pay for them, when I'm trying hard enough to make ends meet for myself and my family.
From estephania: "They are very proud of their country(as I think we should all be proud of the country in which we are from) but aren't afraid to talk about the faults of their country as well. "
If they're so proud of their country, then why are they so eager to LEAVE it??? |

I have lived in Chicago, San Antonio, Los Angeles and Las Vegas as well as overseas in Europe and the mid-east, so as you might be able to guess from those USA locales the answer is yes. Many I have befriended and to tell the truth they are no different and want nothing different than us born and raised USA citizens. |

Judging by the verbs in use, I think most if not all are either: real racists, frustated, angry, white trash with dial-up, or a combination of all (or perhaps I have missed something). |

On a day to day basis at the factory I work at. I understand the situation really well and they need to understand our culture not the other way around. |

Eleven years ago,when I had a staffing job I used to come in contact with illegal immigrants on a daily basis.Some live in my neighborhood.I understand them,their society,and culture.Most are very nice people that do not bother anybody.The occasional "Corona drinking parties" my neighbors in the backyard have are kind of annoying,but they know when to stop. |

My husband is mexican so I know plenty about their culture. They are extremely big on family. More so than americans. That is why their high school drop out rates are so much higher compared to ours. They care more about having a family then they do about highering their education. They believe in hard work, ie, manual labor. They are very proud of their country(as I think we should all be proud of the country in which we are from) but aren't afraid to talk about the faults of their country as well.
It makes me very angry when people harp on illegals all the time and act like they know them. Just because you see an illegal everyday or just because you sit next to them in line in the emergency room doesn't mean you truly interact with them. You've got to get to know them as the people they are and walk in their shoes before you will ever realize what it is like for them. ..
and for the record-I don't care how many people say it, my husband, nor his friends have ever forced me to learn their language and my husband is almost fluent in English. I've never heard of or seen a mexican or any other illegal try and force their beliefs on me or anyone I know so that is a bunch of BS. |
