Why are people still venting about the "illegal Immigrant issue?" It's becoming a bit sickening!!!!!!!!!!

I just finished watching a piece on border patrols. Did you know alot of middle eastern terrorists try to slip in along with the mexicans who just want to find a better way of life? I say we let the mexicans in and shoot the terrorists. But, in America, we are too nice and say, well, we can't do that, so we just send them all back to Mexico. Mexicans are welcome to come in. They are clean, they take jobs at farms at low cost wages that no one wants keeping the prices at supermarkets down and they do pay taxes if they are able to get to the city. I love their kids. They are my best students because they are happy to be in a country as good as ours. Most of my true American students have no clue how lucky they are. My mother and father are both immigrants and they became American citizens when I was only 9. I speak two languages fluently and all my brothers and sisters are college graduates and we work for the government helping our fellow immigrants. I am not Mexican, but I know the harder working people and most, sadly enough, are not American youth.

I accept ignorant questions too...
This is also an immigration forum, in case you didn't know already.

Yeah....we've have the North Korean deal, and ya know Bush stole the election in Mexico. (for as dumb as people portray him, he sure gets around and can do amazing things). I think the Illegal thing will be around for awhile longer until after the votes are finished in Washington. If I were a politician I would certainly have one of my staff monitoring this site.

Then leave.Whats keeping you here,there are different categories you know.

Because this is America and we can. We won't stop till they are DEPORTED.

Roxie

Because it IS an issue

jj02

Because we are having to deal with it everyday thats why. Not to mention you are in the immigration bored. Is it hard for you to understand that?

M.I.L.F.30

Because some of us are closer to the problem than others.

My 2 bdrm apt is $1,100 a mo and it's not in a high class area. Why? Because we are overcrowded.

When I go to the store, I can't read the signs to find what I'm looking for. Why? Because it's in another language.

I have to pay $600 a mo for my son to go to a private school. Why? Because the lessons are slowed down to allow the children that don't speak the language of the country to learn at their pace and the classrooms are overcrowded.

I don't have a problem with people moving here from other countries...but it needs to be regulated just like everywhere else.
Other countries look down on some of us because we all don't want open borders......they don't have them either and in most cases are more strict than we are on immigration.

Cause Americans are sick of seeing the country being invaded by illegal aliens and the goverement incapable dealing with the index of thousands of thousands of illegal aliens wanting to shove out the very people who built America made it what it is today. Our own citizens cannot find work, our vets returning from Iraq are having to sleep in cars it takes them 6-12 months to find work, these so called illegal aliens who say we only want a better life.Although some illegal aliens enter this country for a better life, there are six billion people on this planet. At least one billion of those live on less than one dollar a day. If wanting a better life is a valid excuse to break the law and sneak into America, then let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight. Besides, there are 280 million native born Americans who want a better life.We're sick of getting sick of, Illegals aliens who are only here for now and interested in sending as much money back to Mexico as they can. Mexico has had years to make a country that is successful only they seem to want to sit back making excuse after excuse. It's time for Mexico to grow up and start taking the serious matters of the country and resolve them. America has done more for Mexico then any other country on the face of the planet. WE are sick of pumping millions of dollars in Mexico after they eaten the one meal, what's more important people hungry in America or Mexico Or Irag it goes round and round we would have dedicate the rest of our lives to help Mexico who can't even help themselves. That's the hardship of it. Mexico can't even help its self to help it's on people out, rather Mexico would rather export them out let the rest of the world have to resolve all Mexico problems cause their not grown up enough too!

The west does not know how it has made life difficult for others. The fact is that one part of the globe is rich, the other side poor!!!!

akablackbetty

because we have to support them. and because congress is trying to make all these law breakers legal. thats why people are raising so much hell about this subject.oh and ignorant questions are welcome too, like yours.

cool.panamania

It sure is, isn't it !

That is kind of like me saying "Damn, I am sick of this channel.", yet I do not change the station.... No one is forcing you to read anything.

Even though it may seem like yesterday's news to you, there are still people that are going through hell and loosing their families because of this...and people need to vent.

Every person for illegal immigration should be forced to compensate these innocent people who have had their social security numbers and identities stolen by these illegals who invade our country with no care who they hurt. They should have to not only compensate the money lost from their social security accounts after they are zeroed out once the fraud is detected, but every last cent the victims had to pay taking time off work, every cent that went into photocopying documentation, every cent that went towards lawyers and gas driving somewhere to get this mess taken care of, and any other financial expenditure the victim had to cough up. They should also be forced to compensate the victims for the emotional hardships endured. They should have to compensate for the money and time spent trying to straighten out their credit ratings after these illegals have ruined them. They should be forced to compensate these victims for every single hardship related to what these illegals have inflicted upon these people. Currently, the system does not provide any compensation at all and a lot of people are never restored to previctimization status. Oh but these pro-illegals claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime that hurts no one and that we are whining when we complain.

'Total purgatory' for taxpayers
Frustration can mount for victims of this kind of fraud. Eventually, the government agencies involved do catch up with the legitimate consumers; but often, not until they are looking for money. Victims can have trouble getting disability or unemployment benefits. The government doesnâ€™t try to alert victims of their victimizations, they usually find out by chance when theyâ€™ve been victimized further.
Other victims find the Internal Revenue Service on their backs, looking for payment of back taxes for wages earned by their imposters. Some see refunds held up by the confusion; others see their wages garnished.
Victims find themselves in a financial nightmare. All those imitators make a mess out of their work histories, Social Security benefits records and credit reports. Victims are haunted by bills and creditors. Victims receive threatening letters from the IRS, asking to pay taxes on money earned by these illegal Mexican colonizers. Victims are told to re-pay unemployment benefits they had received, after the government discovers they were "working" while drawing benefits when it was really these illegal Mexican invaders all along.

You think these illegals care that they are hurting innocent lives? Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America.

http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm

Then the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.

The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

The illegals get welfare by stealing social security numbers and identities and using false papers. Therefore, the time limits under the Clinton welfare reform doesn't apply to them because once the time limit is up, all they have to do is get new stolen social security numbers and identities and false papers and start all over again. American citizens who draw welfare are limited to the time limits from the welfare reform and are then cut off. American citizens who fall on hard times and have to turn to welfare assistance have a harder time finding jobs that pay enough to live off of because the illegals have taken jobs and depressed the wages of those jobs still available to American citizens. Therefore, those in the lower working class are highly unlikely to ever be able to "work their way up" since the opportunities have been stolen which will entrap these people into poverty with little to no way out.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexicoâ€™s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.

Cultural imperialism

We experience Mexicoâ€™s assault on our country incrementallyâ€”as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our â€œimmigration problem.â€ Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and eventsâ€”all of them framed by the mediaâ€™s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigrationâ€™s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of â€œimmigrant rightsâ€â€”we donâ€™t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.

Another reason we miss whatâ€™s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as â€œgood dads,â€ â€œhard working folksâ€ seeking to better their lives and their familyâ€™s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nationâ€™s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchismâ€”to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialismâ€”to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially

(3) Economic parasitismâ€”to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.

IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD YOUR WAGES DEPRESSED BY THESE ILLEGALS OR HAD YOUR IDENTITIES AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS STOLEN YOU WOULDN'T STOP 'VENTING' EITHER.

gokart121

Well, when the issue goes away, people will stop venting about it. Personally I think open forum such as this is pretty darn healthy, and illegal immigration is only one topic out there that's worthy of a good discussion/rant/whathaveyou.

Currently, the US is racking up Major Bills supporting Mexico's excess population, and apparently its' existing one, as well.
We're being played, the whole 'baby in the camera lens' bit,
any sob story they think will sell well on national TV. Frankly, it's time to throw the red flag over Mexico's media antics, and their border practices, too.

I don't hate mexico, I don't hate mexicans. I also don't support large numbers of mexican people entering the United States at will for whatever purposes they might have in mind. We've got a GOOD country! But, that 'goodness' also needs to be MAINTAINED, and not just signed over to the first hard-luck case that walks across the street with their hand out, because unfortunately one thing that happens when you do that is that he's got 100 more right behind him. Point is, there's LOTS of hard-luck cases, people that have never tried to do a damn thing with their lives, never so much as applied for a job, lived off of stealing, other forms of crime, and our efforts to help have resulted in a lot of entry of people that just plain don't 'get it' as far as what immigration/emigration even mean. They just see a ready source of money, and past that they don't care. I could care LESS what country you're from, if you move to the United States, do the REST of the country a favor, pull your socks up, and give it a good honest effort...emphasis on the 'honest'. We don't need more larceny artists, drug dealers, gang members, money launderers, robbers, rapists, human traffickers, identity thieves, indigents, ne'er-do-wells, slackers, scammers, and frankly we don't need so many people trying to move in PERIOD.
Immigration's out of control, illegal immigration shouldn't even EXIST, and wouldn't were it not for complicity within our very own country. So, in addition to stepping up enforcement efforts to keep illegal aliens(foreign citizens entering our country illegally) from moving into our country and setting up housekeeping at will, it's also necessary to find those that have made it so easy for em to come in in the first place. This goes far beyond stockyards, this even involves companies like dear old Microsoft, and their visa quest, and they're far from being the only tech company out there trying to break the rules. Money buys influence in america, and some Big Money from outside the US is trying to pave a smoother path for people to enter at will and do whatever they want, laws are for the residents apparently.

What americans are asking for is that things like immigration laws be fully and thoroughly enforced, for a change, as this is also a step in prevention of a lot of problems. If people really really want to become US citizens, there's a legal process for doing it, that process needs to be followed, if it's not being followed, then there's a problem with the whole system of laws and law enforcement that needs to be fixed. Bringing all of this BS to a halt should be considered part of your civic duty if you count yourself an american, if you don't count yourself an american, and you're in our country, please pack your bags and get OUT. Thanks.

This is how soilders feel-most I talk too. Never have I heard them say-they don't know why they are there-only we say it..--they know!
A true Letter
One of my sons serves in the military. He is stationed stateside, here
in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and
welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere they go.
Telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being
willing to serve and fight, not only our own freedoms but so that
others may have them too.

Then he told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at
yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that several people
were in the line ahead of him, including a woman dressed in a burkha.

He said when she got to the cashier r, she made a loud remark about the
U.S. Flag, lapel pin, the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached
up and touched the pin and said, "Yes, I always wear it proudly, because
I'm an American."

The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to
stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

Then, a Gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his
arm around my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, said in a
calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: Lady, hundreds of thousands of
men and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could
stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR
countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own
country , we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now
learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket
and pay your way back to Iraq, so you can straighten out the Mess
in YOUR country, that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."

He knows that killing goes both ways--it is time you do.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mimilundgren

As I read the answers here, I hope that we are beginning to unite and that we will encourage all around us to unite to resolve this issue.

Bottom line, this is our land. The Congress is required to abide by the wishes of the people and the people want their country back. We want it safe, secure and all immigrants screened before moving here.

JESSICA, AWESOME ANSWER! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SAY IT ALL SO WELL.

sealRborders

Because,this might well be the MOST important issue of our times!!!! WITHOUT borders,we are NOT a country!!!!

Because people are tired of their constant breaking of the law, causing problems, stealing benefits and resources for our citizens and those here legally.

DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS!

ENGLISH ONLY IN AMERICA!

Wasabandmom

Well, just like you brought it up again, a lot of people are doing the same thing. And here we are answering again. because it is a pressing problem that hasn't been fixed yet. The thing is that we don't all think alike! We all have our theories, points of view, etc. As long as the problem exists, it will be discussed.

_Kraygh_

Because I still have to go to work everyday and deal with them...

hmmmm..

People are venting exactly. This is supposed to be a forum for tempered debate not streetfights.

Blue Angel

Because we are in the immigration forum of Yahoo Answers. If you want to talk about something else you should change forums. Yahoo has plenty to choose from.
Do you have a problem with discussing a serious issue about criminals calling themselves immigrants, when our own laws don't even call them that.
Illegal Aliens do not belong in America, and grown ups discussing ways to deal with the problem is the first step to solving the problem.
Immigrants are vital and welcome in America.
Illegal Aliens are criminals, that made a choice to break the law. If poor Americans break the law the excuse of poverty is not accepted, why should it be accepted for these criminals?
Yesterday I walked our of one of my favorite places to eat because I realized that they did not have any blacks, or whites, or anyone other than Mexicans working for them. There are laws against this practice, and sadly for them this morning I reported it. Equal opportunity employment means, if they are qualified it maters not what nationality, or color they are, you must hire them, not only your own kind. I am tired of these kinds of racists practices in my state being allowed, and I am reporting it. Most Mexican businesses only hire Mexicans, and sadly many are illegals, as I suppect is the case for the restruarant I walked out of yesterday, which has several stores in my area. When legal immigrants, and Americans start asking questions about the quality of service they are being provided, meaning is the person serving them not a criminal, then these businesses will be forced to abide by Americas laws. Everyone says the problem is industry breaking our laws, and the only way that I have found to know if the businesses, and services I use condone breach of international security, and practice equal opportunity employment is to ask. Having a sign up that says they do, doesn't mean they do.

machiko_146

Since your a Canadian, why don't we just send them your way, and then we won't have to burden you with our "venting." If you don't like it, I suggest you frequent other Yahoo categories.

Because it is an important issue facing our country at this time that needs to be settled.
Not to mention the fact that many people who are not citizens of this country, and didn't enter it through legal methods, spent a few days, earlier this year, marching openly through our streets demanding the same rights that are guaranteed to legitimate U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution.
That kind of brazen attitude and disregard for our nation's sovereignty has stoked the fires and until it's settled, it will probably continue to be discussed. The fact that it hasn't been taken care of now is what sickens me.

â™¥They call me momâ™¥

This is the immigration section afterall. lus I'm tired of seeing the morons everytime I walk down the street.
