Pro-illegals: Are you fully aware of what your stance is doing to America?

Do you like to see your tax dollars spent on illegals when U.S. citizens' needs are not even met? Do you have any idea of the impact the current rate of immigration will have on the U.S.?

It took 165 years for the U.S. to reach a population of 135 million, but will only take 40 years to add that many more people to our country. To accommodate this multitude we will need more roads, hospitals, schools (est. 36,000) and more housing. There will be unheard of demands on utility and water resources and the overall environment while severely impacting the quality of life. If an amnesty occurs, the 20 million (12 million is a joke) current illegals can all receive legal government assistance and their general lack of education and tendency for large families will overwhelm the welfare system. Are you willing to work harder so you can support them all? Their lack of education is propagated in their offspring and the cycle continues. Are you only wearing your hearts on your sleeves without thinking of the serious consequences of continued mass immigration? You need to educate yourselves in this respect and look at the big picture.

For those of you advocating Christian values in taking in the impoverished, what about most of Africa? How about India, Pakistan, and some of the Eastern European countries? Should we take them all in? This is to the detriment of Americans, but never mind about Americans-- we have to save the world, right? Shall we just sink our lifeboat now and all do down with it?

Yes, the employers of illegals should also be prosecuted. I can't include everything in one post!

I've arrested 7 illegal mexicans in two weeks. 6 of them had pockets fulls of cash(since they don't pay taxes). Three of them were sending the cash in their pocket back to mexico. make it here, spend it there. ( for you idiots that think they are harmless, even you should be able to see that it hurts the economy when you makemoney here and dont spend any here) i was told by Immigration that they are under orders from Obama himself not to arrest ANY illegal aliens unless they are known gang members of felons. I was told I had to let them go. They didnt even want their names or addresses to follow up later. The old procedure was they would take custody of ALL illegals. Obama changed that in a short time. I am powerless to lock them up as a local cop. That is the sad state of affairs. You guys that don't care about it, how do you think you would be received if you went to another country illegally. Try mexico, see how it works out for you,

Im with u all the way buddy , they are here to take over --hahahaha they cant even take over there own country, they just come here to escape the turmoil, and they hate us. and obama wants to make them citizens just so he can get more votes he does not care if they take all the jobs he never worked a day in his life hes a lawyer as are all democrat presidents

During the year 2005, there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border; with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from terrorist countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.
We have 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually.
How would one of you far left bleeding heart libs like for one of your family members to be their next victim?
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and over run prisons.

The best way and the only way to stop Illegals from crossing our borders is to fire one warning shot and if that doesn't stop them make the next shot count. Illegal crossing would stop overnight. Problem solved.

If all the illegals were deported, it would open up enough jobs to more than make up for all the workers that have been laid off in the last year.

They do not have a clue! Your points are right on the money!

Pepe e' Plomero

Yea - it is turning this country into mexico. After all we stole their land - after they stole it from the indians.

he's a radical communist in sheep's clothing

life is good!

I could not agree more!

Racists are the ones who need an education. They think people are "pro-illegal" when most of us are just anti-racist.

Take a hard look at where most of your tax dollars are going and then tell me who needs an education.

el loco

Of course not ! Absolutely not !

We must tell the government that we don't want our money to be spent to support the ilegals, to support the wars in iraq and afganistan or to have troops around the world

Do you not realize that our economy in several states is dependent on illegal immigrant labor?

They do the jobs most people don't want to do for a price no one else will take. This keeps produce, construction, etc. prices down.

They also pay sales tax, so yeah...I don't think they are welfare cases.

Jay S

You're absolutely correct! It will be physically impossible to provided adequate food, clothing and shelter to 25 million illegal non-English speaking immigrants. When European immigrants came to the US, they were poor, but hard workers and honest master craftsman. Have you ever had a mexican work for you - it's like having a blind man paint your house. They are horrible. The skill-set is non-existent.
The influx of poor, lazy, unskilled immigrants is going to drag the US down even further. We will never get out of this ailing economy and the immigrants did it to us.

c'estmoi

There's more to this issue than the welfare system. Why not get angry about that? Wouldn't you agree that the welfare system needs to be reformed? That way, if we grant illegal immigrants citizenship, they won't go on the dole. In fact, my husband is a resident alien. He is allowed to live and work here, and he pays taxes. But, if he loses his job, he is not allowed public assistance. Only citizens can get that.

All, I am saying is that while we need to get a handle on the illegal immigrant situation, we also need to reform other aspects of our society. We have plenty of room in our country to accommodate everyone, the problem is that immigrants tend to stay in certain areas. No one is making them move to Alaska or North Dakota.

How much money should we spend of finding and deporting all the immigrants? That sounds as expensive as letting them stay.

You haven't offered up any solutions to this matter, only defensive and condensending statements to people who care about other people's suffering. If you do have the answer, I'm all ears.

Holy h*ll, where to start...

Well first off, illegal immigrants are the smallest takers of welfare; so we aren't actually paying that much for them. We are paying quite a bit for white women, though (the biggest takers of welfare). So should we kick out white women?

I don't think so, so why in the world would I want to kick out someone who doesn't take anywhere near the same amount of money?

More needs means more jobs. More workers means more production. Your little gripe would actually be much better for our economy, not worse.

And while the illegal immigrants may or may not know English, their children are learning English quite well. In fact, studies are now showing that they are learning English much better than American kids are.

And I take this stance because of my religious beliefs. This is it, right here. These are the least of Jesus' brothers. When Jesus comes back and asks me if I clothed Him when He was naked, fed Him when He was hungry, etc.; I want to be able to say yes.

I want to be able to say I fed the least of His brothers, clothed the least of His brothers. And these are among them. These are the ones in need, sons and daughters of God just like you and me. They are our brothers and sisters, and it's time to ante up and kick in.

No. Are you fully aware of what your stance is doing to your immortal soul?

Roddenberry

I love the fact that a country built by illegal immigrants is now so dead set against immigrants.

GreasyTony

OH!...RELAX! and where are you getting this FALSE information?

I'm not "PRO-ILLEGAL"...whatever that is? but I do believe that the ones in good standing (or coarse) should be allowed to stay, especially during this recession.

1. Illegal immigrants are a HUGE value to our economy.

http://blogs.chron.com/immigration/archives/2008/05/post_128.html
Illegal immigrants' value to economy? $1.8 trillion

2. They actually pay more into the system then they use in the little services that they are eligible for.

Immigrants Pay More in Taxes Than They Use in Services Over Their Lifetimes

3. Getting rid of them would hurt more US employers.

4. And the quality of life is only getting better!.....and don't worry about the enviroment, and especially Global Warming!

According to the report, the estimated carbon emission of the average immigrant, legal or illegal, in the United States is actually 18 percent less than that of the average native-born American.
