According to the American Indians, immigration ruined America a long time ago.

Illegal immigration will ruin the USA.
Legal Immigration will energize the USA, if done in a principled manner.

Guess Who

No, but illegal immigration will.

It won't ruin the USA, but it doesn't help the USA.

As long as they pay little to the immigrants, the wages for educated Americans will go down, such as in the mechanical industry. Why pay an American $20 an hour when they can hire an illegal for $10, and get the same quality work done?

Immigration has rules to allow people to enter this country. Lets enforce those rules. Get proactive, if they are not legal, deport them.

Either we come up with a plan to make them report they are here, fine them, and put them on track to become a citizen, or we have to hunt them down and deport them.

This nation with the exception of the Indians, was made up of immigrants and that is what makes this country great. Lets just do it legally people.

Don't matter what country you are from, Illegal is Illegal.

America was built by immigrant, and the rich cultural diversity we have is due to our ancestors being from different nationalities. The problem here is ILLEGAL immigration. Anything that is against the law should be enforced.

ILLEGAL alien immigrants will ruin this country. Legal immigration is monitored and is welcome.

As far as I know the native Americans are the only people who were hurt by immigration. The rest of us are likely the products of those who came here from all over the rest of the world to ruin their lives. I do not see that happening by the current influx but I do want them to come in LEGALLY.

No, but illegal immigration will.

Not if we put a bounty on em'. Every border control agent would have a quota and be rewarded for exceeding their quota. Say, 10 bucks for every illegal over 120 a month.

It has it's pro and cons. The biggest pro is that it does more good for our economy. Companies pay them cheaper for labor when Americans won't do the job which is usually labor, janitorial, and landscaping. Not all immigrants who cross the border or fly over seas are here to do criminal activity. Most want opportunity because the currency is so low in their countries. Even the cheap labor is better than what people make in their respected countries. The cons are that they don't pay taxes. Most politicians don't either so what's the gripe huh? Americans don't lose anything with immigrants working cheap labor. They really don't ruin our country. I'm American, but I don't feel like they are a threat in any way. If anything, they lose more than us because they don't have full benefits for education or medical expenses. In regards to the tragedy in Virginia, it's too bad the girl died to a driver who is illegal, but not all majority of accidents or murders are by an illegal. It's definitely not the biggest reason to deport them. Anyways, I really don't think our economy could survive without immigration. However, immigrants should be legalized and documented for our own protection in the United States to avoid problems such as criminal activity like drug trafficing or other serious felonies. So Yes and No, illegal immigration is good for the economy, but can be bad in the long term if they are still undocumented.

NO, immigration will not ruin the USA, BUT..... the illegal immigration with out control and by the millions and millions of poor uneducated people coming across our borders, yes, it will hurt and ruin the USA. We all have to put a stop to this madness.

Undocumented immigration has already put a huge burden on the legal citizens on the USA.

There has to be a way to get a handle on it or things will only get worse.

Immigration in and of itself will not- it is what/how the USA got to be in the first place. But everyone must be a contributing member of society for it to work.

MH/Citizens Protecting Rights!

If illegal immigration is allowed to continue, the country will continue on a downward spiral of lawlessness, lack of morals and lack of ethics. If the laws are not enforced equally against all and if only certain people are permitted to get away with numerous crimes that are committed by illegal immigrants and their supporters, then we will continue to have increases in lawlessness because you give an illegal inch and they'll take an illegal yard and demand an illegal mile be made legal.

Immigration? No. It's what we were founded on. ILLEGAL Immigration? It could. Illegals are criminals. I'm all for building walls both at the Mexico and Canada borders, and being stricter on foregin passengers on flights into the country.

If you were to ask me I would allow the military to truly kick *** and get Iraq stable, then have them come home but keep the same budget for the walls. The I would send the sniper units to garud shacks at the border. Simple as that... but NOOOO we have to be politically correct.

Legal imigration not but illegals will. The government won't do nothing about it because they are too busy whining a bout the war in Iraq. They will dry the our encomny , welfare system and health care. its good ha ve people come to the U.S. legally but those who come in illegally will ruin the USA and they keep coming til they tip the boat.

Please study your history. Immigrants helped found this country and are valuable assets. ILLEGAL migrants are going to ruin this country....So. Calif. already looks like Tijuana.

Since immigration has been going on here for 500 years, I'd say our chances look good.

loretta

illegal immigration will. not the legals.illegals don't put into the system, they take what we already have their. if this keeps on America will be on its knees. the rich will abandon the poor, the poor will be left to fight the illegals and try to fix a broken country.

Terry H

I don't know if you meant to say legal or were talking about illegal immigration; nonetheless, immigration has alrerady done its damage. For instance, look at the population of the US. In the year 1965, we have 200 million people; 40 years later, we have 301 million and counting. Most of these numbers stem from legal immigration, which, entail, leads to school overcrowding, more calls for bilingual education, more people on welfare, more people on medicaid, more jobs takin away from Americans, etc, etc.
I am not saying that legal immigration is going to "ruin" the US, but as a country, we need to be aware of its reprecussions.

ranaway628

its not ruining lives and it never will. you were born in this country because your family came here. just because they might've come a hundred years ago doesn't mean that you deserve to be here more. they want a chance to live here just like your family did.
