My son 4 year son asked me why are we overran by illegals?

Wow, unless you live in Southern California, I can't see how you actually believe this. When I go out the door and spend my day at work and around town I never get the feeling that I am "overrun" by illegal immigrants.

here to help

4 year olds can get along regardless of color,nationality or legality. if he asked such a question,congratulations for implanting hatred in his mind

If it is racist to teach reality to a child then I too am a racist.

the question does not even mention race, it is about illegal immigration...all you people are just quick to pull the race card...who is the racist.

any ways get the kid a baseball.

sugardaddy

you have hard time to explain that?

go to the airport buy 2 tickets for Phoenix Arizona
and let your child walk
in the street like 7th Avenue and Bell Road

I doubt that your four year old son has given it any thought and I doubt even more that he cares.

If your son was so smart and asking question like that,.,., why isn't he in college somewhere for genius... and since you have to cover up for yourself asking the question, here is some response to YOUR question.. . First of all WE are not be run over by illegals.. maybe you are.. but I know I'm not...

Wow it sounds like you have bred a little 4 year old racist to take your place in the world.

I live in Texas and do not feel "over-run by illegals".

I do not think that it is a lack of patriotism that causes illegal immigration. It is social standards in other countries and here. People come her for the same reason your ancestors came here. For freedom and a chance at a better life. If we do not give them the means to become legal how can we expect them too. It is a lack of reform and compassion that has triggered our current situation.

I hope you are happy with yourself for teaching your son a horrible lesson in racism and cultural understanding and tolerance Adolf.

The main source is from Mexico due to spatial proximity and economics. Contrary to popular belief, Mexico is among the group of richer nations in the world, but unlike its neighbor to the north it has one the most unequal distributions of wealth in the OECD.

Illegal Mexican immigrants traditionally have been portrayed as job seekers without good paying job options in their own country. Of Mexican immigrants surveyed who had been in the United States for two years, only 5 percent said they were unemployed before venturing north of the border. By contrast those who had been within the US for over ten years, the figures jump to over 15%. The figures include only those who were actively seeking employment in Mexico. It excludes housewives, students, retirees, and those who for other reasons were not actively seeking employment. The figures are not adjusted to account for those who were underemployedand researchers argue that the lack of an adequate social safety net in Mexico has compelled many of the underemployed to take marginal jobs. Most illegal immigrants have some options in their own country but like the perceived options and opportunities better in the U.S. enough to put up with the large expense, often unpleasant journey, inconvenience and danger of illegally immigrating.

There is a significant difference between wages offered in Mexico and the United States. The United States Department of Labor calculates that the Zone A (most industrialized) minimum wage in Mexico in 1999 was 34.45 Pesos a day, or about US$3.50 per day. The Zone C (rural/agricultural) minimum wage was 29.70 Pesos a day, or roughly US$3.02 a day. By comparison, casual day laborers generally demand US$10 per hour for an 8-hour day (informal survey of migrant workers available for hire in San Diego County, 2007), or over 2000 percent more in the United States than in Mexico at the highest Mexican minimum wage. The disparity between Mexican minimum wages and wages from casual day labor in the United States allowed about US$13,000,000,000 to be sent by Mexican workers in the United States to family members remaining in Mexico in 2003 alone. It's all interesting. You tell me.

He might have learned it from you.

you needf to tell your son about the big capitalist companies such as walmart nike etc that exploit other countries and desroy thei economies by making independent businesses go bankrupt, also about the extremly low wages that sweat shops pay in different countried which cause the people to starve and seek a better life in other countries

or if you like you can continue to fill your son's head with all that BS so he can grow up full of hatred and eventually start hating people by their skin color

Do me a favor, don't have any more kids....

I'm here wondering how a 4 year old knows about illegal immigration.Racism is something taught in the home.I doubt if a 4 year old knows what that is.Please don't reproduce anymore.

chickey_soup

Hmmm I wonder where your son got the idea in the first place.....

* lovemykids *

Little kids know nothing about illegal/legal immigration, unless you are putting it in their heads! In this case its called racism! Why would you put this in your childs head? Let him be a kid! My daughter is 4 and she doesn't know the diff. btw black, white, brown...that's because we teach her equality! Take some parenting classes!

Chsel

Tell him to go ask the Natives.

Drain the country? no one is draining the country but you. I was and an illegal immigrant and i am now a civil engineering student and i don't called that drain the country. What have you done? whine how they took your job. sorry they took job of raking leaves or job at the farm

livelife

you are teaching your child that all illegals have bad intentions and they dont. if you feel that you are overrun by illegals you are wrong. i dont see how people who get seperated from their family because of deportation overrun people who stay with their family and cannot get seperated
