i like the way u think. tell me this why is it that a less educated person...such as an immigrant... that cannot read or write the english can take a job away from a educated english speaking american.... it's b/c they won't take that job... they think they are too good for it ... b/c i know if a more qualified person applied for the job THEY would get it.... |

Well, maybe its b/c what americans may see here @ home. Many jobs have been tooken by illegals, but I dont think those are the jobs that legals would like anyways. For example, most illegals work hard, backbreaking and laborious jobs - just because they cant get real jobs, that you need real papers for. Americans should realize that without the illegal mexican population, our economy would plummet - who'd do all that work? |

I think just the opposite, illegals are keeping jobs in the united states. By working for less, and getting screwed out of insurance, medical benefits etc.
The are helping build our cities and roads, work in the yards, and roofs, everywhere. If you ever did roofing you'd know it awfully hot.
As for why they think that, they are unable to think for themselves and naively believe everything they see and hear on Fox News. |

They are probably not racists, so do not confuse the issue by throwing out epithets. My father is black, and he thinks that immigrants from poor countries (mostly south of the border) depress the wages of lower-class Americans. The obsession with jobs and immigration is even greater in Europe, where unemployment is twice as high as in the US.
The notion that immigrants steal jobs is so common that economists have a name for it, the "Lump of Labor" fallacy. This is the idea that there is a fixed amount of work to be done, and if you work more, there will be less work and therefore less money for me. The opposite is true: there is an infinite amount of work to be done, and we should welcome law-abiding immigrants who come to improve our country instead of their own. If there were really a fixed amount of work to be done, unemployment should be rising, but in the US it remains very low.
There is a real question about whether poor immigrants depress US wages. The answer to that seems to be yes, but not by very much, and the benefits greatly outweigh the negatives. Poor people buy tomatoes too. |

I could care less about the jobs. If that was all the illegal immigrants did, that would be fine. But they come here, take jobs illegally with NO benefits, and then use our tax dollars when they get sick, and our systems, and things that I support by paying my taxes. They usually are paid "under the table", so they do not pay taxes on the money they get and usually send out of the country.
In nature, those are parasites - use the host body for life support.
I have not a problem with where people come from or what they do when they are here. I just think they should do it through the system. If the system doesn't work for them, then do something about that. Don't come here illegally and then cry when the people that are here legally (whether born here or here through legal course) get upset about it. If they want to have the good from our country, then they should do it like everyone else.
If that makes me sound like a horrible person, so be it. But I don't get the thing about going to another country illegally and then getting upset when the people in that country react so badly. If you don't like it, you obviously know where the door is. . . |

We say it because it's true and I have a question for you.
Why do illegal Mexicans come up with the most stupid arguments and excuses for breaking our laws and then don't understand it when we protest their inexcusable behavior?
Maxxxi, I have done all of those things that you just said. Don't hate us because we have the brains to get an education and you don't. They still don't belong here. Mexico needs to go home. |

As wrong it is to acuse Mexicans for taking Americans jobs, its wrong for Mexicans to say Americans don't want those jobs. Most of the jobs mexicans take is because we are simply to lazy to do it (cleaning, lawncare etc) Thats why we are so fat. But I am against illegal immigrants taking our jobs, because they don't have to pay taxes (especially income taxes) that we do. That is simply unfair. I mean the rest of the world comes to the US legally why cant Mexicans, sure it takes some time but thats what work is. |

I would do many jobs you wouldn't dream of doing no matter what your nationality.
This has been proven a lie so many times I say do your own homework now. Stop blaming us for your lack of education. |

You know what? The tomatoes and strawberries grow on land here, not in India or China, so those in India and China can't pick them.
Houses for people here likewise have to be built here.
Those are jobs people legally here used to have.
You are the one who brought up Mexico (which is a nation, and if it were a race would be more white than anything). I don't care where they are from. I am against illegal immigration. |

Illegals are taking jobs from citizens and thus are stealing.
It is not racism to want security at the border and a future for our children and our American people.
Oh, I think you will find that it is you that is wrong, and you are wrong about a great many things.
Will the real racists please stand up, or are they afraid of being deported. Ha ha lol
I've done my homework have a look at the links. |

My issue isn't with the jobs, it's the fact that they are illeagal. Apply for citizenship, close the border and start paying attention to the comming and going of all immigrants from everywhere. This country was founded and grew to what it is because of immigrants but that doesn't mean all should be welcome forever. |

You are not racist if you believe your job was taken by someone else.Unless you do hate those people because of their race.For one thing most people don't realize the elite who run Mexico are buddies with the elite here and work together to exploit the Mexicans and US poor and middle class. The trade agreements made that possible and immigration also puts pressure on wages here which isn't suppose to happen but the Bush administration doesn't enfore laws that forbid corporation from doing that. |

People are just ignorant!! Hispanics are doing jobs that no American would do.
It is very alarming that ppl are mad about immigration knowing that American is made up of immigrants!! America is what it is today b/c of the diversity. Thats what makes America beautiful! A lot of ppl don't realize that Hispanic come here in search for a better future. Just like our ancestor!!! |

They're just jealous the Mexicans are out performing them in the workplace.
As for the farm work, I live on a 100 acre farm. Trying to find American help these days is hard. Not enough money for the older people and too hard of work for the teenagers. |

Apathetic Americans need to have a revolution to get their country back from the idiots in Washington. The Mexicans need to have a revolution to get their country back from the idiots in Mexico City! |
