We pay 50 cents for lettuce instead of 51 cents. Meanwhile our SSA, schools, hospitals, welfare and identities get pillaged. But, hey--we get that huge savings on fruit and veggies!
Great trade off, huh? |

Illegal means against the law duh!!!

There is no upside...
you'll hear people say "they can do the jobs cheaper" - great, but they're not paying income taxes and they are taking a job away from someone who does.
Then there's "they do jobs no one else wants"...which is so not true...late last year a meat packing plant was raided in Denver - and legal workers lined up around the block to apply for the jobs. |

Regarding the false assertion that illegals are taking jobs that U.S. citizens will not do.
If you take a look at the percentages of illegals/citizens performing ANY job category, the illegals always form less that 50%.
Therefore, it is only correct to say that illegals are taking jobs which U.S. citizens WILL AND DO do. |

Nothing offsets the billions we have to pay out with our tax dollars for their free education and health care, fraud, stealing identities, depressed wages, hospitals and businesses going under, and finally, breaking the law by being here illegally. The arguments for it being positive are false. There is no positive side. |

There are no upsides to supporting illegal activity.
I'm sick of hearing that they do jobs that American's wont.
American's would do them if we eliminated most of the welfare programs that exist today. Additionally if more were paid to do those jobs American's would do them. |

They do jobs nobody wants is a big farce.They want construction and trade union jobs. There are crops rotting on the ground due to lack of pickers. This country is going into a recession but there still going to be there to steal what jobs are left. |

How about the "positive side" of income tax fraud?
What part of the word "illegal" are you having difficulty with? |

What could possibly be the upside? I am scared to death of over-population. Then what? Genocide? |

Good for the illegals and the employers getting the the cheap labor. Every other American gets hosed. |

Obviously there are up sides, for some, or they wouldn't be doing it. They include:
Higher proffit margins for dishonest businessmen.
Stimulating the economy of Mexico via remittances.
Every minority baby of an illegal is a US citizen and can statistically be expected to grow up to vote Democrat (taking the long view, there). Amnesty would get the same sort of up-side, just much sooner.
Growing population masks economic malaise.
Growing population keeps Social Security solvent a little longer (yes, even if some illegals don't pay into it, just the fact that they're having citizen 'anchor babies' who will pay in, later, helps).
Depresses wages making American goods and services more competative in the world market.
Advances the cause of Aztlan.
Encourages acceptance of draconian law enforcement (Big-Brother stuff, like real ID). Up side for the more totalitarian of our leaders.
That enough? |

The positive side is that since they are illegal, you can use them to do work with less cost ... it's called " taking advantage of " them ... so It's positive for business men who wants to reduce the cost to increase the revenue ... |

I dont think there are any positive sides. |

Upside will be when they are all deported or jailed!!! |

Positive for the U.S.? Not really, except that they take some jobs that Americans don't want, or would need to be paid double to do.
Positive for them - they send millions to their home countries every year (instead of paying taxes here.) |

Of course. The inmigration have positive side.
Without the hard work of the immigrants the economy of USA not out of the first world. USA needs of the work of the immigrants; the economy need this.
My desire is that all us immigrants could return to our native countries. That our governments in lationamerica, have good works for us, good economy. We could live very well in our countries. Because to live in a country as USA, where there is very much racism, its not good.
I imagine the american women working cleaning houses and the men as gardeners or washing cars. The american people dont like these works.
Many Latin immigrants are professional (engineers, doctors of medicine, economists, managers, architects and others). In The United States, we the Latin people must study many more that you to obtain a good work. Manny latin people have 2 o 3 job.
I am economist. If all the immigrants return to them countries, in The United States there will be economic recession. The salary are going to increase but the prices of the products and services also were increasing. More inflation and very much unemployment (more that 10 o 20 %). This escenary is terrible, but its true. The Americans do not like the hard work. |

As with everithing in life there are two sides. Sure is positive from the point of view of the illegal inmigrants and the people who support them. for ex. inmigration lawyers and counselors,: they are making huge profits $$$ , also the companies who send money from US to the other countries, the moving companies, corrupt business owners, "coyotes" and the list goes on. and on..........When someone is loosing something....someone is making money. ( in mexico ) ?
maybe., also is positive for all the families that expect american $$$ every week, so we can said that the drainage of the american budget is positive for the mexican country. |

It is the illegal that upsets your whole argument.
It is wrong to break the law - no matter what the "good" reason may be.
Think of it this way....................
You can't go across the Mexican or Canadian borders illegally so why should you be able to come across ours? |

CHEAP LABOR!!! We can finally own slaves again legally!
Sure they are a different color but who cares?
Although it is kinda funny how our society has done nothing but go down hill since they got here.
Who the hell else is going to wash our cars and mow our lawns? You can't be somehow suggesting they WE do it, lol OMG no. Perish the thought. |
|

I still heart fugin

Positively Illegal.
It's too many downsides. Except the people coming over feel
that they are getting a fair shake. and jobs were taken away from the people that suffered loses from Katrina.
TAX FRAUD IS RAMPED. THEY USE ALL THEIR NAMES! Mothers maiden name, fathers name, then they split the kids up and file head of household!!
and if they work on a farm, no federal taxes are taken out, by law!
You should have heard this one guy on the plane(civil engineer) cursing and screaming, how they were paying the illegals with Togo sandwiches and taking jobs away! He scared me. This is the south even if we were on a plane...lol
You watch Carlos Mencia? I didn't even know this.... there are traffic signs, with people on them, for the motorist to watch out for, those people that are running across the street coming from Mexico.
A woman holding a childs hand and a man behind her.
Hey that's a good and positive thing. Safety. |
