What is your opinion on the anti-imigration law and the border wall?

Well chica,this is the way i feel about the fence and usa dumb laws.The usa spends billions of dollars on iraq,to help them fix their government problems,but can't lend help to our neighbors.I am white in color and was born here in the usa,but i am muy triste,our country,stole half of Mexico's land mass,and use the mexicans for bs jobs here.Then they want to push them aside like they were nothing.But you understand that it seems to be in the us government nature to enslave and take what does not belong to them.The government has the money and power,and think they should be able to dictate how they think the world should be.I pray to mi dios,that mexicans flood the usa,make as much money as possible,and breed out the racism,that has been here since the country began. sorry so long winded. adios

How_Would_I_Know

Yes there should be somebody looking for a way to help them.. the MEXICAN government.

The Wall is an emergency measure. If you look at the numbers the rate of illegal egress increases every year. If something isn't done [soon] you and I will be too busy worrying about providing the necessities to our own families instead of concentrating on them.

I don't really know where are you from but,,, we in the USA don't have laws against immigration and we are not anti-immigration. We are in favor of the fence or wall to be build in the side of the USA on the border with Mexico. This fence is to keep people out, specially the illegals, drug smuglers, terrorists, etc. So you see is different from the infamous Berlin Wall that you mention. And about helping this people well the ones that come from Mexico, Mexico is the richest country in Latin America and is an oil country, very rich,, the Mexican government should take care of their own ,not the Americans. Don't you think so!!!

Dizney

When the Mexican Pres. compared the proposed wall to the Berlin wall he was really stupid. Mexico and the US are SEPARATE countries. No comparison.

As for the wall - 10 feet tall, really thick with electricity. Keep the illegal alien criminals out. They are all criminals because they are breaking our laws.

We don't need new laws. We need to ENFORCE the laws we already have.

It's called Attrition Through Enforcement

It's not an anti-immigration law it's a law to stop illigeal immigration. People who want to come to the US should. But they should do it the right way, through the right channels. I mean whould Presidente Fox let us stay there if we all just moved to Mexico without the proper papers? I don't think so...

yes i agree but it should be the Mexican government who help their own peoples not the usa .

Yes their government. Why should we? We have enough folks here already that need help and we can't even take care of them. The borders have to be closed. Once closed we can evaluate each individual to see if they will add to the economy of the US and not take from us. If they will then welcome. If not stay at home.

Super Mom

We are helping these PEOPLE they live off of our TAXES that they DO NOT PAY ! We HOUSE them we FEED them we give them MEDICAL care for FREE ! That's why they keep coming" IT'S THE LAND OF THE FREE" and they keep taking,even though that's not what it means. What more do they want? If we did just give them OUR Country for say, they'd just trash it like they did there 's. I feel for them I know how poverty stricken they are over there I have been to Mexico and it broke my heart to see some of the stuff I' ve seen, they have made it that way ,now they come here to do the same to our country? Take food out of not just MY CHILDREN'S mouths but every American that might need help if they lost there job or a loved one. Go ahead try to get the Food Card, Medical card if you are WHITE GOOD LUCK.When there 5 to 10 children are eating like kings. WRONG !!!! They need to send the illegals back and there kids too, sorry to say but they did it to them selves.

The Berlin Wall kept people in.
The someone that should be helping these people is the Mexican Government.

CloseTheBorderPlease

Let Mexico's president help their people. We have too many illegal Mexicans here in the United States. They need to go home and stop coming back!

Bob G

First of all, there is no comparison to the Berlin wall and the proposed wall between US and Mexico. The Berlin wall was built to keep the East Germans in. We are proposing to build a wall to keep the illegal invaders out. If Mexico was building the wall then it would be comparable but Mexico encourages it's citizens to leave.
Yes SOMEONE should be looking for a way to help these people and it should be THEM. Mexico would NEVER allow the US or anyone to meddle in their affairs. The ruling class elite are perfectly content with the way things are. They simply export their "problem" to the US. As long as the US continues to allow Mexico to sh** on us they will continue to do so.

Ever hear the phrase "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime." The problem is not with people wanting to come here, but in the number and manner that they do come. What I mean by this is that many of the "qualified workers who come here don't bring their families, but send the money back to Mexico draining our economy. They have no interest in benefiting the US and do not want citizenship. Otherwise they could have come legally. The rest either have insufficient skills and drain our welfare system or are criminals and hurt the US with their criminal acts.

If the Mexican government cared for it's own people they wouldn't need to come here to begin with, but that is another discussion altogether. They could educate their people and provide for them, but that could mean that the political system there would have to change and someone might not be presidente anymore....

Yes, we should go there and help them. If we allow the Mexicans to cross the border illegally then we risk a terrorist from another country using the Mexican Border to gain entrance into the United States. We have helped Mexico. We have sent many of our major companies to Mexico by the Free Trade Agreement. We need to allow the Mexicans to have special visas to work in our country. Many of the farmers are in need of their hard working laborers. Then after so many years of them working here we could allow them the opportunity to gain citizenship. First they need to learn our language and our laws. We don't have a Berlin Wall we have a border. The Berlin wall was put in place to make prisoners of the people. Mexico should elect better officials.

american gothic

yes it is called their corupt government
thei government "like our "obey's big buisness
the diference is their big buisness is the drug cartells
in oacacha they are doing the right thing and rebelling against their government let it spread and after their country colapses

Having to wall off the Rio Grande as a last-ditch effort [HAR!] would never have been even seriously considered if Mexicoâ€™s Leaders had used any of the modern tools of economics to ramp up its (very very VERY LUCKY) economy. Mexico's GDP is ONE Trillion, SIX Billion US Dollars a year! And the people have to choose between a life in their homeland and a decent life?

Some of the responsibility absolutely rests with the people, though.

Do the math: A girl is born to her 12-yr old mother. On or around that girls 12th birthday she has a child and then one more child every 16 months thereafter [as did her mom] till she is no longer able or until her husband's body turns up in the trunk (normally sleeps on hood). When each of her children reaches 12 y.o. they preggie-up and whelp a series of their own. And so on and son on. Anyone got the answer?

FACT: More than fifty percent of Mexico's population is under 21 years of age (BBC). Where were you and what were you doing when Challenger exploded on lift-off? Well, while we in the U.S. were reeling from that, HALF of Mexico's 106 million people were a yet-to-be-made "conscious decision."

In fairness to the people, how can 13 siblings learn to respect education from a mom, dad and thirty-seven hundred aunts and uncles none of whom achieved more than a 3rd grade education? It certainly wasn't a choice these kids made themselves. But, the question to ask is â€œwho is best positioned to stop this trend?â€ These poor, wrong-place-at-the-wrong-time sibling-swarms. Who else? The Dalai Lama?

And if they DON'T change it, we'll be cursed at, stared wanly at, hated, called greedy capitalist pigs and other choice titles for â€“ now that itâ€™s doubled again â€“ denying citizenship to the poorest among two-hundred twelve million! In â€™86 it was like 65 million. What happened?! Now youâ€™ve been told 21 years in advance. Now you know these people have a decision to make that can change everything!

If their birthrate drops, their economy might be able to catch up. In the meantime, the absolute worse thing we can do is to enable them to blissfully continue as if thereâ€™ll never be consequences. Itâ€™d be like giving liquor to an alcoholic. Let the hammer fall now while they can handle it. Imagine how sharp, determined, educated and disciplined theyâ€™ll be 30 years from now with less than 2 children per average couple.

The problem lands in front of their eyes. After some cussinâ€™ they adjust, focus and take up the yoke. They fix it. Theyâ€™re better off. Weâ€™re better off.

If we grant amnesty, in twenty one years, the problem has doubled, another generation has been indoctrinated by â€œcash exampleâ€ that it is, in NO way, their problem, AND theyâ€™re looking at us with more beguiling hatred than ever!

The Mexican needs to get their government on the ball and straight. They are to lazy to do that. They could feed their families there, they might have to pay for it there, is why they rather be here getting it for free. What do you mean Help these people? Ever heard of helping yourself. No, they rather come here a drain us. I think that all Illegals needs to be deported. If any wants to come here, they are no better than other immigrants from any where else, they need to do it legally.

TAHOE REALTOR

First we need several layers of defense along our borders. A wall is good, but how about a few electrified fences and remote motion detector devices, and some independent web cams and more support for coast guard, customs and border agents. It is not a war against illegl immigration although that is a small part of this operation, but securing our borders is a defense against terrorism and crime, specifically, drug trafficing and deterence from WMD's entering the United States. What there is no evidence of WMD's in the black market?...Think again. We need to get it done yesterday, no wait like five years ago or in all reality ten years ago, it should have already been done!

Second, we need to coordinate a better and more efficient system to process legal immigrants quicker and less expensive. This is still America the land of the free and we should open up to the poor and needy...for those of you who oppose this remember your ancestry were immigrants here too! The Irish and the Italians mainly in the 19th century, as for me it was Portuguese and the French. It's a shame to your ancestors that you would refuse immigrants safe passage to the land of America.

Many other affluent cultures tryed the 'wall' / 'fence' concept...and aparently realized some positive result for a time. Eventualy, tho, nature wins a way around the barricades, and the builders of fences became there own captors.
I admire that you felt deeply enough to ask your closeing question...the immigrants crossing 'there' border may be a solution to that countrys political insolvance, .. dissatisfied populations become annoyed, eventually, and rectifie there situation, one way or another.
Mexico's problem is not non-sustaining invironments, so much as it is an ineffecent governmental structure. The mexicans comeing here arent so concerned about crossing OUR borders as they are determined to be across THERES.
WE think thats problematical for us, because THEY are despirate to the point of compromiseing EVERYTHING to escape the country of there nationality. If ever there is a justified reason to drive so many from sutch a binding and social home-land, the cause must be tremendus..!!
I feel compassion for then,.. bring the jobs we sent over seas home, give them work, regester them to vote, let them file there income taxes, and lets get over this hipocracy.

Wall of the shame, no more comments.

eightysgurl04

i think people who are so close minded to the subject and say inprison them all..blah blah blah..not saying youre one of them..shoud go to mexico and see what it is like..and not to one of the popular tourist places either...for example..my grandparents had no money to buy a house..so my grandfather had to build their house..my grandmother needed heart surgery recently and if you dont have money you dont get it and you die so we sent them money..some places have no running water, just a community well that is anything but safe to drink from..and so on..send everyone who is close minded to a place like that for a month and take away their citizenship and see what they would do to get to a place lke the USA..

edit:please dont get me wrong..I'm not totally for immigrants coming in, no, yes there needs to be laws, but please lets look at the people who want to come in living situations, expenses, and such so that if they are approved to come in we can get them in faster in maybe cheaper so maybe less illegals will come in..as far as the illegals in the country now lets look at when and how and why they came in and see if we should send them back or help them become legal..like my fiance..he was brought here when he was 3..had no say so..graduated high school here in the usa, worked since he was 16 and even has a tax id so he can pay his taxes..i think people like him should be helped.
