I'm not sure if you are aware of how many people are risking their lives at this moment this very moment blood is being spilled for America while you and i sit here tapping on a keyboard about who's whats , whys and whens . please come to America work worship join the military pay taxes . learn to speak the language of the country you live teach others about your native language customs and cultures make your dream come true and help those around you to reach their dreams as well . but please if you don't want to be American or understand what America is then may i suggest the middle east or maybe if you like something alittle more tropical i hear Cuba or Brazil is beautiful this time of year . |

First off, i don't call illegal immigrants names. Secondly i have no problem with immigration. I just believe that all people in this country should be documented. If i commit murder, then the police will go to my house, and arrest me. If an illegal immigrant commits murder, then how do the police know where to look for him? I have no problem with Mexicans, or anyone of any other nationality coming to thhis country legally. I'm a minority myself, but out of respect for our country, and the laws to which we are bound, i believe that it's wrong for illegal immigrants to sneak in here. Illegal immigration is a felony offense. If we look the other way for illegal immigrants, then why not let other felonies slide too? Why not let kidnappers, and people who tamper with mail walk free? It's just a felony. I really hope i haven't offended you in any way, but i think it's important for our country's safety that we know who's in our boarders. |

Okay, give this rant a shot.
I don't specifically dislike anyone I don't know. I don't like the fact that people are not only breaking the law, but flaunting it.
Did I fight in the American Revolution? hhmm.. pretty sure that wasn't a serious question.
Did I die for this country?... probably not expecting an answer for that one, either.
Was I born here? yes.
But you're missing a couple wee facts. I have also been a contributing citizen of this country ever since I was old enough to be one. I work, I pay taxes, I vote, etc.
Can I skip on that paying taxes thing if I swim across a river, walk through a desert, or crawl through a tunnel? No.
So that's not enough reason to let someone just stay here.
Now, do I have a problem with anyone coming here legally and applying for citizenship? No.
I guess that makes me a spoiled brat to all the snide little bleeding hearts up there. How dare any of us want someone to follow the laws of our land. What selfish little spoiled brats with entitlement issues that makes all of us. YAWN.... I could go on, but I worked today. Worked at my mediocre pay, blue collar, labor intense job.
I am so spoiled... think I'll go take a generic aspirin, wash it down with tap water or generic cola, and go to bed. |

here is my gripe, they come to this country they get free healthcare, take jobs away from Americans because they work for cheaper wages, and they don't pay taxes. I don't hate illegals i just think it is unfair that they get free benefits that tax payers are paying for. |

OK, if you don't like all of the above reasons, how about the recent outbreaks in Polio, a desease that America hasn't seen in 20 years. That sure is harmless. |

First of all, it is pretty stupid trying to compare the present generation to something that has happened hundreds of years ago. Mmm'k? Secondly, not all illegals are from Mexico, and every country has their rules. Some countries in Europe do not allow foreigners to become citizens unless they learn the language and learn the history. Actually, A LOT of countries do this. So do I think that America is being taken advantage of? HELL YES. Do not even try to pull this BS that you have just typed above. All countries have rules, America is just too kind to reinforce them.
Another thing that you fail to realize is that a lot of the tax money that you pay yearly goes to the illegals. Yes, they go straight to the illegals instead of needy families that are ALREADY in America. They have taken over welfare, and they are a costing America thousands, upon MILLIONS of dollars. Do you still want them here?
Do you? |

What do we have against illegals? How about the fact that they are ILLEGAL? |

Obviously, you feel very passionate about this. And that's good. You have a right to feel the way you want to. So, to come on so strong about something that is a very sensetive subject you have to ask yourself this question: Have I stepped back and looked at this situation from the American Citizens standpoint? If you are going to argue something, be sure to back it up. I am an American citizen. I pay my taxes. I work hard just like you. And I would risk my life for this country. I do not look at illegals as bad people. I dont make fun of them. We are not supposed to generalize illegals, then as citizens, we should not be generalized either. Keep this in mind when you decide to argue this point. Try not to come across as so aggressive, because that is all people will see when you try to put your point across. |

The fact that they are here illegally, while I could get arrested for having an expired sticker on my car. It's unfair. It's racist, and it's useless. What country has benefitted from Illegal Immigration? Next time you see a Naitive American, Ask him. |

sure they can stay here but they have to do it the legal way just like everyone else who did. And for your information I wasn't born here. I'm a naturalized citizen along with my folks (mom and dad and bro). You can't just say all the things you just said becuase why would you let someone cheat the system? They practically (especially the mexicans) just jump a wall and work here and get fake IDs! They are actually criminals breaking the law. What part of that don't you UNDERSTAND? |

I don't think they should all stay in Mexico, I think they should stay in whatever country they are from. I'm fighting for my country now by keeping people out that will ruin it.
No, sneaking into a country, stealing people's identity, taking jobs from Americans, overrunning communities, demanding rights from people whose country you've broken into, having kids you can't support, draining resources from the US, etc is not our citizenship requirement. We have enough people here, we don't need any more poor, uneducated people. |

You all are criminal tresspassers who haven't had the balls , in 85 years, to fix Mexico. You have no right to be in my country, and you will make US weak, like Mexico. You don't respect law, patriotism is unknown to youl. Your logic fails . |

Our country was built by allowing immigrants. However, those came here legally. If those illegal immigrants were to come into the country the right way, there would be no problems. If we were to do the same to them then we'd be escorted back and told to enter the correct way. |

Illegal aliens are IL-LEGAL. It's AGAINST the LAW to try to move to the United States without doing it the RIGHT way. No brain surgery! What we've got is a 20-year period of negligence in law enforcement since the 86 amnesty, and a lot of politicians claiming to represent the american public inSTEAD trying to bring more people into the country to vote for them. So, they're breaking the law, too, as are the companies that've been found to be hiring illegals. LEGAL immigration ONLY, support the US Border Patrol! |

I don't like illegals because they are breaking the law, and they are making the crime rate skyrocket. |

You must be on another planet, or you must be an illegal immigrant yourself.
Let's start.
They come hear illegally..... they get hurt.....go to a doctor......give a phony name and get out of paying medical.....or get welfare.....
This is why our health insurance is sooo high.......
We are paying for their care....
But maybe you don't know that yet because mommy or daddy is still paying for your healthcare....
Housing.....is so expensive ....because they can't build housing fast enough to keep up with all the immigrants...........
They take our jobs..........I had a regular basic job......got taken away by a bunch of immigrants....who......didn't even graduate from high school.....didn't know English well enough to understand most things...........and I don't want to hear they just take jobs we don't like or want to do......they take office jobs.......medical jobs........too.
They commit a lot of crimes and sometimes flee back to Mexico, where they are safe......even if they murder......because the Mexican Government does not extradite them if they could get the death penalty.
then there are the ones here, that work at US jobs.....get paid....and guess what.......they send all their money back to Mexico..........guess what that does to our economy......
There are many more reasons, but these are the few I have experienced. |

Quite a few of them are here clogging up our legal system, taking our federal resources, making us pay them to be here----ILLEGALLY. We have to pay for their food, shelter, and for them to have kids here---and don't speak English. At least learn the language if you plan to stay someplace. They live with 12 people in a 2 bdrm house or apartment and wonder why the neighbors are aggravated when they cant play by the rules----because they don't take the time to make sure the know ans understand the rules/laws.
I live in a neighborhood in Charlotte, NC----have been here over 7 yrs and have seen it go to crap because of them. They don't take care of the place they live and are turning it into a ghetto. It wasn't like that when there weren't as many. If you don't like the rules/laws here-----GO HOME!!!! |

Just what have you done??? Beside taken up space and used my Country as your provider of freedom and security. |

I wouldn't care that they were here except they don't pay taxes, 12+ Million people that don't pay taxes in a county where there's 300 Million people? That's 4% of the population that doesn't pay taxes but takes advantage of all of the government programs put into design for citizens including public schooling, welfare, and the likes.
I'm truly flattered that they wanna be here but if they want to be here they need to start taking up their civic responsibilities. |

That's a long question. Probably starting with the word "illegal" - it means that you are belittling all the people that went through the proper channels to get here legally. You do not pay taxes yet you bleed our social services systems dry. You drive down minimum wage (trust me, if illegal workers were not available SOMEONE will step up to the job). Things are hard enough in this country without people sneaking over the border, risking their lives and screwing up the system. Do you know how stringent the laws are in other countries for people to immigrate to them? Very. So stop acting like the US is the worst country in the world for asking people to go through legal channels to come here to live and work. Why can't you try to stay in your own country and make things beter for yourselves and your fellow country-men. I would respect that a whole lot more. |

I have no clue. I guess the biggest problem people have is that the "illegals" aren't white. I'm sure if they were white no one would give a care. sad, but true. And black people can't say nothin' about immigrants takin' jobs and stuff like that. Shoot, we got it just as bad as them, if not worse. So, it's basically that the immigrants aren't white. that's y ppl have a problem. people can be so cruel these days. |

To answer your last question, "No." To answer your first one, "I don't like that they are here illegally and are draining our economy and causing wages for Americans to be downgraded." There is more that I don't like about them, but I think this will suffice for your questions here. |

It's not what i have done to be able to stay in America the question really is what have illegals done to be able to stay in America. Did they fight for this country like you ask of Americans? Did they bleed for this country? What did they do in mexico to gain rights? If these illegals that you are so fond of are as strong and versatile as you think they are then why don't they do something for themselves in their country of origin? |

LOL @ gidget "cushy and sedate"??? obviously YOU are delusional. I am on the poor end of life myself so I know lots of POOR AMERICAN people who work damn hard and now have to work triply hard to find a job because the "diswashing jobs" etc. are going to illegal immigrants that "americans won't do the jobs we do" is a bunch of bull. Lots of americans NEED any job and work 2 or three low wage jobs to make ends meet, barely having any time at home. As for these hard-working illegals.. working hard does not make you legal you deserve nothing for it. I also know a LOT of illegals who are not working hard they are on welfare with their anchor babies and they live 25 to a three bedroom apt. with two working men who work construction and get paid under the table... Yeah your right illegals just work real hard and LAZY americans are wrong to want them out.. Screw you and illegal immigrants. The poor people of America should be speaking up more about this invasion and taking of low wage jobs from legal people who really need them. |
