Hadenough

Did anyone ever tell you--you whine a lot?
Get over it.

silverback_viper

i don't like illegal immigrants but if your not an illegal immigrant im fine with you unless you do something that might piss me off

Bethyboo

okay first of all we have laws....and they have been broken!!!! by illegal immigrants!!!!.....thats why we are so pissed off and thats why we are taking a stand on it!!

Because they are in the country illeagally. Also because they don't pay taxes. Some say they are taken American jobs. Which is not completely true because alot of Americans don't want the jobs they are doing anyway.

I don't complain about immigrants or illegal immigrants... i'm kool with them cuz they are just people like me trying to make a better life for themselves and their family

We don't have a problem with LEGAL immigrants. The problems arise when they come here ILLEGALLY.

I hope that one day we have an unified American continent. Don't forget that the only truly natives in America were the Indians.
Our grandfathers and grandmothers came to US, Brazil, Argentina looking for a better future for their children.
I don't want to say that to immigrate illegally is correct, but just think if you were in the same situation. It is very easy to judge. We shouldn't forget that we as grandchildren of the European in migrants have to thank not only US but the whole American continent for keeping the doors open when our grandparents needed it most. Sorry for my bad English and I wish you all of you luck.

because unlike us canadians, america is dominated by one race, canada is like a bowl of skittles, a whole bunch of colours in one big bowl. www.antibully.tk

The reason Americans complain so much about illegal aliens is because they think they do not have to obey our laws. The main word here is "illegal". Illegals feel they are above the law. They broke the law to get here and they continue to break the law once they are here. Driving without licenses, no insurance.... etc. They also do not want to pay taxes but, they are the first in line to get free health care and food stamps. Perks which hard working American taxpayers bear the brunt of. Anyone ever go to Dalton, GA and try to go shopping? It is gang city now. Check out how many gang related drive by shootings they had last week. Go to any store there and try to shop. These people are rude and belligerent and act like they own it all. Just like going to a neighbors house..... you don't go in and act like it is yours. U have respect because you have no right to be there in the first place if you aren't invited. And another thing they should not be allowed to walk all over decent hard working people who have been waiting years and spent thousands of dollars to come here. Ship em all back....

If breaking the law is alright with you then so be it. Why should people who want to come here legally wait in line for a year or more, follow all the rules and regulations, pay the fees, learn English, undergo medical tests, etc. while the illegals just crash in. I don't blame them. I am against the companies that hire them as they are looking to make a quick buck. The whole problem is only good for the companies not for anyone else.

Taxes, overpopulation, health issues

Because immigrants come to our country for jobs. It happened before my grandma lost her job her job moved to mexico.

Think of it this way (it is a gross generalization, but it gets the point across) - Americans have a high standard of living; illegal immigrants have a low standard of living. As the illegal immigrants' standard of living rises, the Americans' standard of living falls.

Note: It is not just Americans who complain - every First World country is faced with an influx of illegal aliens from Third World countries. As a mater of fact, even Third world countries are complaining about illegal aliens from even less prosperous Third World countries.

in los angeles we have freeways that have turned into parking lots, 13 emergency hospitals have closed , not to mention having all these freaking kids and they can not afford them, nevertheless pay the hospital bill and in our freaking budget there is an allowance for illegal immigration and its over 1 billion dollars for the year, hell it was great that one day when they had the march, you better believe a lot of people were thankful to get home at a decent time rather than putt-putt there way home.

akablackbetty

because its not our place, to have to support them.

Now let me count the reasons,crime for one,US taxpayers now have to pay for the incarceration of thousands of illegals that came to this country and joined gangs,are selling drugs,and have killed US citizens,second,now US citizens have to pay for extra teachers in bilingual classes to get children of illegals to learn english,also have to build more schools to keep up with the millions of incoming children of illegals,third,and this is the worst,illegals are stealing social security numbers from US citizens,which many times have made those victims owe the IRS thousands of dollars in back taxes,and even when they wind up straightening that out,they themselves will lose whatever money they put on their future benefits because the IRS will wipe all history from them,and last,unmarried illegal women are coming across the border just to have their babies in this country for free paid by the US taxpayers which also qualifies the child for government health care,welfare and schooling,now if these are not reasons to get US citizens pissed,nothing will

Not worth my time to try to explain what other have already stated. Do a search.

Mac Momma

They need someone to blame for the crappy economy and instead of looking to the ENORMOUS debt Bush ran up, they blame people who, even the conservatives admit, add more to the economy than they take.

it is racism and a downturn in economics.

getnabargain

"Flying arab terror",might have something to do with it

Jackie

Ignorance, racism, intolerance.

In.Taco

They don't complain more than most European countries. Take Denmark, for instance. Nearly every fifth Dane votes for a party that runs solely on improving the living conditions for the elderly, and being racist.

freespiritinsc

We don't want them here if they are ILLEGAL. If they want to come here, they need to learn to speak the language or go back to where they came from!!! I refuse to learn their language just to make them feel comfortable. This is AMERICA...speak ENGLISH or go home!!!

applachianamerican

They need to change the way Mexico treats them and stay in Mexico. They are Mexicans and Mexico is theri country. Stay and make things change as the Muslims are doing in Iraq.
They are not going to accept the American imvaders. They will fight for 1000 years if necessary. They have nothing else to do.

Ginny Lou the Peachy One

I have no problem with immigrants.
It's the ILLEGAL ones that give us all cause for complaint!

hexa

Because they are not supposed to be here. They are ILLEGAL, and they are over running our border from the south, they are not wanted you are right. read the second half of you question.

mcoconut

because they are ILLEGALLY entering the country

Mr. Nerdlinger

Because in America, right-wingers control the political discussion and xenophobia is very close to the top of their agenda.

imagineworldwide

All of the above... and then some. Basically they don't want for others what they want for themselves.

I complain about illegal immigrants because of the obvious reprecussions of them flooding my area. Social Services in the Los Angeles area are in dissarray by people who do not pay taxes but receive benefits. They live in shanty towns with 20 people in a house. That is not a good enviroment for kids to be brought up in. Perhaps that is why the Latino race here in the Los Angeles area is on the top of the drop out list. Thats why they turn to gangs. I'm not racist at all, but none of this is BS. Don't beleive me? Come down to sunny southern california and I will show you these shanty towns and the social security office etc.
