This is for mimilundgren, princess, and all the others that are against illegal immigration...?

j.f.

I am against ILLEGAL immigration, no matter what country the person is from, or what race they are. Too many people are so quick to play the race card these days, and not just about immigration issues. I have nothing against Hispanic people, or any other people. Everyone is sounding racist against Mexicans because they're predominantly the ones who are here illegally. People just seem to forget that there are illegal immigrants here from other countries. But they are here. I worked in an immigration office for a while, so I know for a fact that Mexicans aren't the only ones that are breaking our immigration laws. But it's mostly the Mexicans that the media is covering, especially when illegal Mexican immigrants have demonstrations in our streets and wave their flag while burning ours. Those people should have been rounded up and deported immediately. It's mostly the Mexicans who refuse to learn to speak English, and expect us all to speak Spanish. Immigrants are expected to assimilate into the country that they're moving to. Not just here, but everywhere. It's not unreasonable that we want people to learn English to live here. I'm sure you would be expected to learn Italian if you decided to emigrate to Italy, French if you were moving to France, etc... If a person or family is trying to enter the U.S. legally, then I have nothing against them. I participated in many Naturalization ceremonies during my time at the immigration office, and met many wonderful people who worked so hard to become American Citizens. It was so touching, seeing all those people taking the Oath of Naturalization.

Oath of Allegiance--for people becoming U.S. Citizens

I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God

To say this debate is only about upholding the immigration laws is wrong.....

Many here do make it about race.....When people make horrible statements about Mexicans, it then becomes about race, so yes, you have observed correctly, for some it is about race.....there is no denying it.!

the TRUTH is
They/We are only defending Our Nation

I don't welcome illegals, but I have another question:

How do you judge who's a PURE American? Is he American Native, or did he have relatives here before the American Revolution (like I did)? Or is a PURE American just someone who's an American citizen. In which case, anyone who's here legally is an American.

Everyone else is breaking the law.

mexicans are great people. culturally, socially and as good friends.
the main thing that ticks people off here is the illegal issue.
you want to come to america? guess what? WELCOME aboard man.
come on in, make your dreams come true, need some help? just ask! send up a smoke signal or somehow let us know.
we'll be THRILLED to help out anyone who needs it.

cross the border illegally and you're throwing our generosity in our faces.
disrespect me and i have no sympathy for you.

do it legally and everything is here. waiting for you to take advantage of.

People asociate Illegals with Mexicans alone, but has anybody really enquired about the number of illegal canadians, Australians, Irish, Chinese, etc. In these country? No right, because they blend, so you don't care. We stand out and we are the majority because of our geographical shared border, but illegals come from everywhere. Why only we get the insults and the name calling?

Expect a backlash on this one. Many in this debate are racist and xenophobic, but few will admit it. Instead, most like to claim "facts" that are false, exagerrated, or that conveniently leave out parts of the story that go against their claims, and this is all done while ignoring the big picture of the US economy and its current and growing labor shortage. Many of those in favor of mass deportation and more extreme measures are racist and xenophobic, but all of them are ignorant.

Seriously, the Princess is against illegal immigration. She has been attacked by many and has I don't know how many impostor's who start with some lame race card throwing. I do not know her personally, but you need to make sure it is truly her making those statements and not someone else. I think that the two you mention are like most and are simply against illegal immigration and want others to come to America legally. Beware of the race card because it brings out the worse in everyone.

I am only against Illegals. I have many friends of Mexican decent who have distinguished themselves in their careers. Most that I have spoke with are only against the illegal status, and nothing more. Well that's incorrect, on top of the illegal activity, they do not care for the entitlement attitude, the strain it is putting on our social services, hospitals, and prisons, and the unwillingness to learn English. Again, that is not race specific.

Ok, I have a question since you feel the need to call me out without knowing me, that is if you are really Bella. Why don't you just e-mail me and ask me? The fact that you posted like this and are only on level 1 makes me question whether or not you are the idiot Pancha who many of us, including myself, are trying to ignore because of her constant games of impersonating so many on this forum who really wish to discuss this seriously, not to mention other stupid games but ....I will assume this once you are who you say you are and I will answer your question.

I don't hate Mexicans just for being Mexican. That wouldn't make sense, would it? I hate ANYONE who comes here and feels that they are entitled to break any law that they don't agree with and put AMERICAN people and our flag down. I hate anyone who chooses another country over this one but refuses to leave because of the handouts they receive. I hate anyone who gets all of the benefits of my tax dollars but never pays into the system which supports them. Finally, I hate people who make up what they believe to be facts but are not factual and compare their criminal invasion to real tragedies like the Holocaust.

What prompted your interest in me, if you don't mind my asking? If you are who you say you are, feel free to e-mail me anytime. I will be happy to speak with you.

It doesn't matter if you are white, brown, or green, illegal is illegal and they shouldn't be here!

nedoglover

what i don't like is that the govt is trying to make it seem that the illegal aliens in the US aren't breaking the law. they want to make crossing the border illegally a felony. isn't it already. btw, i don't mind immigrants, i just don't like illegal immigrants.

Magneto

It's not that mexicans are being picked as the only illegals in this country,nor is it that mexicans are being portrayed as the only race illegaly here and abusing the system by draining the already troubled health care and school system,but it is the mexicans that want to live in this country and want to change it to the country they came from,it is the mexicans that were being disrespectful to this country parading with their flag while lowering the US flag,no country in this world would stand for that,mexico itself would imprisoned such behaviour,and yet they want to be accepted as citizens of the US,you have to earn your citizenship first before you demand it,as far as I'm concerned,the mexicans brought these troubles into their ownselves and americans won't forget what happen on those protests

Illegal immigration is wrong because it's ILLEGAL. I have no problem with legal immigrants, no matter what their heritage.

Think of it this way: if someone stole your car and then said that it was because they wanted a better life, would you let them keep the car?

joeandhisguitar

The people that you mentioned are not against any people...they are against illegal immigration period. The best thing about this site is that ALL of our responses are recorded. It is easy to see who are the instigators.

tincre

I truly don't care what those two individuals you site say....
If you are Mexican or any other nationality and you are in the USA illegally... you should be deported...you are here and you are breaking the legal immigration laws of the country....
I am multinational in origin..so all those dead relatives of mine came here and either became legal upon entry or applied prior to leaving their country of birth..
Latin's seem to be having a harder time getting into the USA at this time and it probably has something to do with the large number of illegals that have jumped the border...
No hatred here...if you have the balls do it legally..if not you best take your flea bitten *** back across the border you crossed over...when you do it the right way we'll be here for you...!!!!

Mr. Hendricks

It is because they are here illegally.

yars232c

you haven't done your homework enough that's what I see. But if you insist on calling me racist save your breath it doesn't mean anything. We've begun deporting people from all races all over the world so next time instead of accusing people do you own homework.

gokart121

well, one thing you'll find in the latino community is a lot of empathy/sympathy for their erstwhile countrymen/women. You can't fault em for that, but there does come a line of demarcation eventually, the division between the two countries that does exist,
a border joins us, so to speak, and there is great pressure to gain the most benefit possible for Mexico from our mutual relationship. This represents an increasing economic drain on the United States each year, and as cities succumb to more overcrowding, and more crime etc etc., it's hard not to look at things like the May rally in a dim light. It's also hard to ignore things like their unique and charming flag display, the rhetoric that was heard, and the facts and figures that basically say that Mexico would like nothing more than to re-annex the southern united states in some way. When you hear phrases like 'land was stolen from us' from someone that's a) in our country illegally and b) waving a foreign flag over our soil at the same time, it's really hard to see that, and not be unhappy about it, if not upset.

More and more people are corresponding with their state and local government on this, and with Congress, and surprisingly the ones that are MOST upset are the legal immigrants FROM Mexico, who see what's going on as a cheapening, an insult to them, and rightly so. The laws on immigration are NOT being duly observed or enforced, and that needs to change. The cap-stone, the insult upon injury, is when they trot out the 'jobs americans won't do' crap.

Mexico needs to solve its' own problems IN Mexico, NOT in the United States. That's not being mean-spirited, or racist, that's being factual, even-handed, and realistic. My prediction is that the day they decide to do that, they'll find a lot of help, which is only right. But, not this way...

truthteller

it's not mexicans , it's illegals. i don't like any criminals, no matter what color they are and those illegals benefiting from being here, is just wrong. anyone who can't or won't see this is in need of some serious help...............

NNY

I dont hate Latino's, I just dont like how they disrespect our laws and customs. I have a few hispanic friends, and honestly my biggest problem is that they break the law, and then when they make money here illegally, they send back to there home land with out paying taxes. That is my only beef, and I do wish they would learn the language of the land so they can function in our society. Every one doesnt speak spanish, and we shouldn't learn it so we can talk to illegal alliens.

Motherof2

I'd have to say that ILLEGAL is illegal. If you are here legally, then more power to ya. But if you are here illegally...GO HOME.
Get legal...then you can come back. I like the statement made by someone else about the car. Can you justify someone stealing your car b/c they want a better life? No, you'd tell them to get a job and WORK for that better life, just like everyone else.
And if you come to the USA, learn to speak English. No matter where you come from. France, Spain, Mexico, India...don't matter. I have nothing against mexicans, if you are here legally.

stupid.liberals

If you are legal...welcome.

If you are illegal...go home.
