Find answers to your legal question.





Tell me something about illegal immigration that I haven't already heard 100 times.?

Every discussion seems to devolve into an argument about enforcement/drain on our economy/taking over the country vs. already here/pay taxes/do jobs Americans won't do. I'm looking for a different perspective (on either side of the issue).

Thanks to the people who mentioned crime, disease, racism, and the human cost. They weren't on my list. tlb raised an interesting point. Do you think illegal immigration is part of the reason it is so difficult to raise a family on a single income?

Besides my wonderful tan, I'm a white male doing one of the so called jobs that white men don't do.....I build houses, and do so with pride.... Its all I've ever done. My dad did it and my dads dad did it as well.... Riddle me this...... Why can't I afford the houses I build, and my father could?... Illegal labor might have something to do with it don't you think.


John Pace
Your Parents were illegals! Bet you did not see that coming!

Little does it matter....how is that?

Our jobs are going overseas anyway.

idk if youve heard this, but about 29% of all the prisoners in America are illegal aliens.

The illegals feed you. They are the ones who work at the farms.

Honestly, everyone has their opinion, but if you allow illegal immigrants to come to the country and become legalized, you will be helping the world. Because those people you just helped, wont have a child starving, will be able to take a shower every day, wont have to drink water that has more bacteria than a turd, wont go home to a house that has no door, and no heat.....

Thats a different perspective....Think about the good in the world, where everyone can be in harmony....People say that they arent being racist when they say to get the illegal immigrants out.

But, why dont they want them here. Because they arent from their country, or they arent the same as Americans, or they arent american born.......So, they say they are not being racist, but its pure racist and hatred..

I was driving to go to a park a few hours away from
home, and on my way there I saw large groups of
people working on fields picking crops. I'm guessing
illegal immigrants (since everyone says they are the
only ones who are willing to work under the hot sun
for a low wage). Right in front of these fields, there
were some really large signs that said something
like "Say no to Illegal Immigration." So my point is,
how come there are so many people who say,
"No to Illegal Immigration" but they use illegal immigrants
to work on their fields, clean their house, cook their
meals and do other jobs they do not want to do?

Sorry, The same old record is on the phonograph and the needle keeps skipping and repeating the same thing over and over.

Why can't there be an answer that doesn't pull the race card?
People that continue to call people that want the illegals out racist are the ones that love to hide the truth behind that race card. They insist on lying saying we say we want them out because they are not from our country, or they aren't the same as Americans or they aren't American born. The truth is I have never heard a person who thinks illegals should be sent back home make any of these statements. Quite the contrary, I hear them give many valid reasons for their feelings. Most of them are only trying to protect their country. Why can't people use that passion to fix the problems in their country and they wouldn't be exploited, or have to uproot their lives to go to another country. Alot of the problems they are running from they are bringing with them. To use one of the examples used here, you say they won't have to drink water that has more bacteria than a turd-are you sure about that? Does the city you live in test your water ways. Mine does. Over the last few years our lakes and rivers have become polluted with urine and feces. Each year tests show higher and higher levels of contamination. I don't know about you but I have a problem with swimming in a toilet. Another reason to be concerned about this is the fact that this water soaks into the ground water and eventually into our household water. That doesn't bother you? It sure bothers me. Now I'm sure this will offend some the truth somehow always does, and I'm sorry about that, but I and everyone else should be entitled to our opinion as others seem to think they are entitled to theirs.

how about murder by illegals,may not be a proublem where you live,but we just had a trial in my county were two illegals snach up a teen girl and kicked her *** raped her,stabed her and dumped her in a ditch.she lived, and and i pray that they get theirs in prison.

environmental-tons of trash removed at border and in Arizona parks. Drug cartels hanging out in park-protecting their plants. 20 million extra people-urban sprawl. use of resources. law-we have the right to choose who come in our country.

kenogirlmd
How about the murder rate ? We cant find someone that we do not know. I did a paper on the death penalty and people who continuously commit these crimes. a lot of the time they were immigrants but not all of the time. Also how about home grown terrorism ? The ones we have no record of suddenly pops out of the wood work and commitc crimes and terror.

How about the fact that they are people too? We are in Iraq fighting a war for people to have better lives, but we don't have the same outlook on people that are in our backyard, crossing the border to better themselves, and their families? Its not like our country is over crowded. I understand that in some cases there is a drain on the economy, but the country is billions of dollars in debt, and we are still one of the richest countries in the world (THE richest?). Plus as I said we are fighting a war...that is costing us a ton of money, again for people to have better lives. I understand Iraq and Mexico are not on the same plane, but isn't the basic idea still the same? You wanted a different perspective.....hope thats what you meant.

You can't blame the people on the bottom, you need to blame the people at the top. They are responsible for people being forced out of their countries to go to another for a better and safe life.

Disease control. Illegal immigrants don' t go through the medical examinations legal applicants have to. Diseass that have long been considered eradicated in the US or have never appeared here before are being carried in by some illegals.
