Their are no negative feelings against immigrants. Only negative feelings about breaking our laws.

This shouldn't be about feelings and it isn't anything personal about Mexicans or their country, it is about what is right and wrong. We have immigration laws and they know it and are breaking them. I understand their problems they have back home but we have our own too. This is not against a particular individual, its about a problem of abiding by the laws of a country. Other countries have now the same problem but at a smaller scale, ours just got really out of hand.

you are just ASKING for negative feedback, and you will get it from most, along with alot of lies and racist remarks. Not everyone has bad feelings toward them. But there are too many that do.

I am so tired of reading responses where people are claiming that illegal immigrants are draining welfare and draining public tax dollars. THEY ARE ILLEGAL, IF THEY FILE FOR WELFARE, THE GOVERNMENT WILL KNOW WHERE THEY LIVE, THEY WILL SEND THEM HOME. THEY DO NOT GET WELFARE. You have to have some form of citizenship to get gov't assitance. They cannot go to college for free, they do not get free medical care, they pay out of pocket.

Sorry girl, now on to your question. It is very simple The economy is F#$%#d up and instead of blaming the real culprits; the government and the corporations LEAVING, IMMIGRATING TO OTHER COUNTRIES, (Sorry, not yelling at you),
people are attacking illegal immigrants. If they are working, let them stay. I will not pick cotton for Q-tips or cotton balls. Enough of my ancestors did that S#$% and didn't get paid at all for it. I will not pick fruit, I will not wash dishes for 12 hours straight in a hot A@@ed kitchen. If they are not working, send them home, and deport some American citizens who are lazy and won't do S#$%

Some people are afriad that their jobs are being taken away from them. But if you really want to know feelings against immigrants, try googling The Great Immigration

Everybody here just should give thanks to God that you were born here! besides saying all that bad things to that people, they are named like animals not humans as someone say "living like pigs" GIVE THANKS TO GOD that you have that much money to be a "king" but think... what can you take over when you die? can you bring something to heaven? i dont think so.

Because they don't pay taxes, live like pigs (there are some exceptions, I'm sure), and produce children that my taxes have to pay for. They are ILLEGAL and anything illegal can't be good.

Let me clarify

ILLEGAL immigrants.

They are ILLEGAL.

Here's an article from my website:

Illegal immigration. A very serious problem right now. We are being invaded, and for some reason we aren't stopping it. These illegal aliens are draining away at all of the public services that WE PAY TAXES FOR! The citizens of the U.S. pay the taxes, whilst these invaders do not. They are like leeches - and we are doing nothing to peel them off.

1. They get free medical care from American hospitals
2. They get free food from charitie!

But, of course, the things that they get are not really free. Maybe for them they are, but someone is paying for them. Someone is paying for these unlawful citizens to abuse the system. The people paying for these undeserving illegal immigrants are the citizens of the United States.

Another thing - it's absolute idiocy that these invaders are calling the lawful citizens of America racists. Since when does standing up for your country make you a racist? It makes you a patriotic person! It seems that these people are too stupid to understand that. But, in this case, it seems that some mindless sympathizers have fallen for the illegals nonsensical argument. They are actually convinced that they are racists for not supporting these people! But the very people they are supporting are draining away our culture and destroying our economy! It seems that the sympathizers want to kill our country! At the current rate of immigration, the states near the border will become majorly Mexican and will probably start demanding to join a state like Texas or California back into Mexico! If these invaders keep on coming, America will become a facsist state, like Mexico, with a small group of people controlling all of the wealth. This is not the principle that the United States was based on. This is not freedom.

It's absurd that some of the Mexicans believe that this is their country. They say that it has been their homeland for 40,000 years. They say that they are not illegal if it is their land. They tell the law-abiding people to read the history books and find out that it is their land. My history book says that we won Texas and other states from Mexico in a war. It is ours.

Here are my solutions to the problem:

1. Deport illegal aliens as soon as they are found.
2. Build a wall. The Great Wall helped the Chinese against the Mongolians. The wall that we have to build will help us with the criminal invaders that are the Mexican illegal immigrants.
3. Talk to Vincente Fox and demand that he stops giving his people pamphlets on how to get in the U.S.A. illegally. It is happening, and it is a huge problem.

It's the idea that they are taking advantage of the American system. Essentially the controversy boils down to the illegal immigrants getting around the system and taking jobs of people that "need it more". The whole thing is ridicules to tell you the truth, there are much more important things to put that kind of energy toward.

PANCHA

stereotypes.

Because while most of us accept our country, believe in it to some degree, and pay taxes to it, they dont. If they really appreciating the freedom and justice that our country stands for, then they should be willing to publicly acccept, it, call themselves part of it and pay for it. Because the illegal immigrants try to get all of the advantages without any responsibility. People who take on the responsibility tend to resent this.

JD and the bestper has this one

get someone who speaks spanish call to your local dept of human services ask if they will help you my sister speaks spanish and she told them she had no papers they said they would give her food stamps and whatever else she needed try it

I don't think there is negativity against emigrants most of the American families, came from some where else, and they did it legally, that is the thing , we are Negative about . we don't need more law breakers. we need fine upstanding English speaking Citizens.

Because they are allowed to to apply and receive public assistance but they do work under the table so that they can receive assistance and still work. Yet they are not paying taxes so our resources are being depleated.

happyfamily3040@sbcglobal.net

they drain resources they never paid the privilege to use. Illegal immigration and foreign outsourcing are the largest contributing factors as to why there such a pronounced job deficit here in America

whymesoobig

The best answer is not what you want to hear. The question should be why are you not outraged by people breaking the law. If more jobs were out there there would be less on welfare. Also why do people ignore the hundreds of people that die trying to get here? Also,when you become a tax payer you will find how they become parasites on the rest of the country.

whocares

because they drive wages down and work for almost nothing. they commit crime at high rates, they over-tax our health care and education, and they don't respect the laws of our sovereign nation

BillBridge

jobs, taxes, crime, healthcare, unemployment, welfare are all subjects linked to illegals and all are subject to debate.

team_sportseattle

because they come over here and take alot from people that were born here and lived here and worked all their lives for what they have. and when the illegals come over here, uncle sam helps them out and this i know for a fact, for my aunt works for the govet. people who need their ssi cannot get it because it is all going for illegals and tax free, we cannot get that. the govt does not give us houses and cars and help us start a business. we dont get what we have worked for all our lives and maybe need. by the time i am old enough, there will be no ssi left. so i am bitter about illegals coming over here. i never used to be, but i have lived it.
