Many of you have been saying that immigrants are ruining this country, taking your jobs and your money. Which one of you would like to clean someone’s house for $6.00 an hour? I’m sure all of you are angry because you wanted to clean that house! Why did your great grandparents come here? They wanted a better opportunity for their families. I think it would help if some of you would imagine being in a foreign country like Laos where you don’t speak the language and have to come up with a living wage. Frankly, it’s too late. There are illegal immigrants here, and if you want to stop the influx of more you have to pass some sort of policy is that REALISTIC. Let’s have amnesty and than regulate future immigration. Wow I RACE CARS how intelligent of you to call me an idiot, jack@ss. Okay they drive the wage down. But why don't you get on the case of these corporations that outsource to India? Its easier to blame the people on the bottom of the totem pole than on the top. Drunk Driving and illegal immigrants are two different issues. In the case that you are referring to the illegal was caught for drunk driving BEFORE he killed those girls. That’s on the law enforcement hands. And how in the world did he get a driver’s license?! You can’t get one if you are illegal. The state of Virginia is to blame. Why didn’t they arrest him beforehand? Heck, I don’t want any criminals or drunk drivers in this country but immigration and drunk driving is not related.

I think you're right, with a couple of reservations: any immigrant who came here legally, went through the process to get a green card, etc. gets first crack at health care, education benefits, and citizenship. Those that came in illegally, but are paying taxes, working, etc, are next. Those that came in illegally, have been claiming welfare benefits, not working, engaging in criminal activities, have a criminal record back home, etc, can be sent back home now.

Do you live in a bubble? Do you not see what is going on? Health care is high? GEE- I wonder why? Crime is high in southern states? I wonder why? Hit and runs, DUI, incident people are loosing their life's to these illegals. Is that fair. What would you do if you lost one of your kids to a drunk and driver, and knowing that drunk and driver is an illegal, has no point of being here.

They live 20 to 30 per household (know this first hand, we have a rental property in Southern California) Since they live 20 to 30 per household they can afford to work for $6.00 an hour. If they weren't here driving down wages housekeepers could be earning $12.00 per hour not $6.00 We have already played the amnesty game in the 80's IT DIDN'T WORK!!! It isn't too late............. We need to fine employers HUGE fines, build a wall & arm it, and start deporting. We need to stop playing around and send these people back to their country of origin.

First let me say, my native American indian great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents were already here when the first hispanics got here from EUROPE. Second I will answer your question. Illegal aliens work for cash, and work for less than minimum wages, taking jobs which were always worked by US citizens for higher wages. In this way, not only do they take jobs from the poor US citizens, and lower and middle class citizens (like in construction and hotel industry, jobs which used to pay $25 to $65 an hour but now pay only $5 or $6 because of illegals), they drive those now unemployed US citizens onto public assistance, which the rest of the working US citizens have to pay for. All studies show those most hurt by illegal aliens coming here and working for poverty wages, taking the entry level jobs are: 1st - Black US citizens, and 2nd - US born first generation hispanics. Those are the very people who are losing jobs and incomes to illegal aliens. Illegal alien women who come here and have babies, then go get welfare, WIC, food stamps, HUD, Social Services for Immigrants, MEDICAL etc..... are NOT WORKING, they are leaching off of US citizen tax payers. Illegal aliens are not earning enough to live on, so they subsidize their lives in a number of ways, 1) they steal, 2) they use social services or charities, all of which is stealing. Using social services and charities is stealing from US citizens who are poor, and who need those services and that money when they go through hard times, now with all the illegal aliens there is nothing left for US citizens who have lost their jobs to illegals. Illegal aliens work for cash and do not pay taxes (which is a CRIME), those taxes go to pay for the services which they are using and abusing. Or else they use STOLEN social security numbers which is a CRIME, a FELONY, the worst kind of crime, for which, by US law, they should be arrested, and the punishment is a $250,000.00 fine and 25 years in federal prison, then deportation. Making up, or "borrowing" a social security number is STEALING, and using that number (even "made up" numbers BELONG to someone) can ruin the REAL owners life. The children of illegal aliens are filling our schools, which WE PAY FOR, it costs BILLIONS every year to pay to educate the anchor babies of illegal aliens, tax dollars which illegal aliens ARE NOT PAYING. It costs US taxpayers BILLIONS every year to pay for the crimes committed by illegal aliens, the legal services for those criminals, the court costs, and the cost of keeping them in jails and prisons. Most crimes committed in the US southwest are committed by illegal aliens, including car theft, burglary, rape, murder, child molestation, vehicular homicide, drunk driving, assalt and battery etc...... Those illegal aliens SHOULD NOT BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Let them go commit crimes in their own country. Illegal aliens are criminals, they are in violation of United States federal laws, and they are all subject to arrest and deportation. It is not too late. Illegal aliens can be deported the same way they came in, a little at a time, a hundred per hour, every hour of every day, of every year, for as many years as it takes to get them out. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS, they are CRIMINALS who have no legal right to be in this nation. We will NEVER reward people for breaking our laws again.

I am a naturalized citizen (an immigrant ) who started at minimum wage and worked my way up to a top paying job! People's attitudes get them fired, not immigrants. As human resources manager, when lay off time comes around, I choose the guys who have caused me the least headache and has given me the most production throughout the course of the project! I do not care about creed, race or religion! My job is to make my company money, so who soever what's to work, will keep their jobs. It's that simple!!

it is good to see there are other folks with a sense of reality.... all the those who resent people who speak a differrent language and can still kick butt seem weak if the grasshoppers made laws to keep out the ants, the grasshoppers would still lose at the end of the summer, legal or not, those that work hard and save will be ahead. as for the laws that don't work... whatever

Here is an example of other things they seem to get away with: CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about? Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage. Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs, But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, a lie...an oxymoron. There is no such thing as "cheap labor." Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free. He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent, He qualifies for food stamps. He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care. His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school. He requires bilingual teachers and books . He qualifies for relief from high energy bills. If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at the taxpayer's expense. He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits. Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00 an hour left after paying their bills and his. The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean up . Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people! Kind of scary, isn't it when you think about it?

I am not against immigrants. Some one who come here legally with back ground checks I welcome with open arms as long as they support themselves and their family. It the immigrants that broke our laws by crossing the border illegally that cause the problem. They could be terrorist, murders, rapist,pedophiles, or just some hard working people. Do you want someone coming into your home that you know nothing about, that what happens when they cross the border illegally. America is my home. If you give amnesty to them now, then you will have thousand more coming hoping that the government will go same in another 10 years.

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 doesn’t try to alert victims of their victimizations, they usually find out by chance when they’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. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6814673 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 Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole. Cultural imperialism We experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—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 “immigration problem.†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 events—all of them framed by the media’s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigration’s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of “immigrant rightsâ€â€”we don’t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States. Another reason we miss what’s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as “good dads,†“hard working folks†seeking to better their lives and their family’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 nation’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 revanchism—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 imperialism—to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially (3) Economic parasitism—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.
