What about IMMIGRATION?

Bambi

And his parents?? Should they be rewarded for breaking USA immigration laws?

What kind of message does this send?? IT sends the message all over the world, that sneaking into USA is OK.
Then how will YOU support the billions of illegals that will crash the borders??

Just because you know one case where the person is nice, does not mean all the illegal gang members and illegals in our prisons are wonderful.

USA must establish laws and enforce them for ALL illegal aliens--good and bad, which they have started doing on a small scale.

It's MY country and Americans come FIRST.

Nope. That is not what the law says. It is however, something that illegal parents should think about.

So. . .

What you are saying is if someone has been stealing cars for 5 years or so, and that is all they know, and they get caught by the cops, they should be allowed to continue? I mean, they have no other marketable skill, and it is all they know. So what if they are BREAKING THE LAWS of this nation! Laws are nothing but "suggestions", right?

I am sorry for your friend, but I think he needs to realize that at some point, it was his choice to remain here illegally instead of going through some sort of process to become legal. And his parents are to blame for this as well. I don't think that anyone should be rewarded for breaking the laws - we don't give drugs to dealers when they are arrested. We certainly should not give amnesty and legalize anyone that is here illegally. Criminal is criminal.

apply for a visa like everyone else

bulletmagnet07

there is a system, use it, what if this guy had been here for more than five years but while he was here he raped and murdered women. Or sent all the money made here back home and didn't pay taxes yet is still allowed to vote, buy a house, drive and in short, enjoy all the rights you enjoy. Bottom line: kick them all out and shut the ******* door. I realize this would be insensitive, oh well, then I'm insensitive, but as a person who regularly defends my country and the US citizens' right to free speech, i feel it is time I used mine.

Illegal is illegal.

If he has been here for a period of 5 uninterrupted years, he can apply for Naturalization.

The American dream is for Americans & legal immigrants that have worked hard to get here.

Sorry but we have to start somewhere and you friend has to pay the price for his parents breaking our laws. Maybe former President Fox can use some of that $110,000 he and his wife received for a speaking engagement in the USA, to set up a welcome home center for those who are being deported to Mexico

Commandant Marcos

Hey! Whats wrong with Mexico anyway? I love it here.

nightmare

to answer nina: the majority of the crimes commited here are done by hispanics mainly adult males preying on little girls...and drug gangs which we have recently been told that MS13 is very active in our community....I am sick of the ILLEGALS trying to claim they have rights here....they have the right to leave before the VIGILANTES begin to take care of the problem...if you dont know who they are remember these numbers 7-7-77 if you are lucky enough to find them on your haceinda you better leave quick

born in the USA

Sorry but it sux to be him. If we let everyone who has been in this country for over 5 years stay we'd soon be overrun with immigrants. Tell him GET OUT and don't come back unless he's got a visa

It is unfortunate for your friend that his parents chose to bring him up outside the law, and that our country didn't get around to deporting them (and him) in a more timely manner. This sort of tragedy is the inevitable result of lax enforcement, and just one of many reasons that we should be serious about enforcing and rationalizing our immigration laws.

From a purely pragmatic PoV, though, nothing could be better for this country than to have your friend wandering about Mexico, explaining how he was thrown out - if America has the conviction to deport someone as sympathetic as that, and it gets around, the number of Mexicans thinking that going north is a great idea is bound to be impacted...

Do it legally or don't do it at all.

I have no sympathy for illegals, whether they themselves came here or their parents brought them here. By now, he is probably old enough to know better and know that he is illegal. He should take the initiative and get his citizenship.

RedWhite&Blue

Listen if you want to pay for these people to get a free ride we'll drop you and all the other pro illegal supporters on a deserted island and let you pay for them to live. I bet you'd change your mind.

Mister A

illegal is illegal 1 year or 75 years doesn't mater he should be deported along with his family they are law breakers.

amen

vegan_geek

frankly i believe that anyone who has blood native to the Americas, (like Mexicans do), have way more claim to any of this land than the vast majority of US citizens do.

califas

That is the case for many illegals in the USA. Some people didn't have a choice to come here. They were raised here just like any other American, but the only difference between them and any other citizen is a piece of paper! A piece of paper shouldn't hold you back from your dreams!

JCruz

I understand you and I agree but the problem with this country is the fact that all of the negativity is unchecked facts and small picture views. Supposedly it will cost you money for people to come to this country and live off of the welfare. Truth is you need a valid social security number to get benefits. Then they say that the people who come here will make it worse for those here. Again they are doing the same thing that americans forefathers did some time back. So if you ask me if a person who was brought here as a child to give them a shot at a better future, to be sent back to a country they have no clue about. Then I am so against that. Ignore all the ignorant comments you are sure to recieve. God bless. from a Proud Mexican.
