Answer 4

I am against illegal aliens for all the reasons we have beaten out of the issue in here!  I am all for legal immigration.  

Answer 5

I am against Illegal Immigration. After all,if new Immigrants cannot obey the most basic laws of this country,like entering legally,how can I expect them to obey any other law. Which in many cases they don't,which explains the high rate of things like Identity theft by Illegals.

1. our country cant event care for itself look at the national debt

2. how can our country even attempt to protect itself

3, our country is in great chaos and that is why I say we should settle our country down before we let any one in

4. in my opinion, it seems like people who are minority or immigrants

don't like america and claim they are not being served like they feel they should be . what about people like me who were born in this country? I am a fifth year generation of being an american I have little health insurance, zero dental insurance, and pay a high percentage in taxes.And I have 2 jobs. DO I suffer the most..no, Native american indians do and they are way more people who have it way worse then I do

If it was up to me they would all be shot. Is that reasonable?

Answer 8

Against. They broke the laws of this nation by coming here illegally. To see just how much the illegals are costing the USA go to this link below. Notice that the numbers are always rising,not falling down or decreasing.

Answer 9

absolutley against illegal aliens

they should go back to Mexico and take their stinky chihuahuas and tacos with them

Answer 10

Nobody is in favor of illegal immigration.  The question is just how it should be handled.  Personally I thought the immigration bill that was voted down seemed like a reasonable approach.  Illegal immigrants would have been fined (thousands of dollars as I recall), forced to leave the country, and required to wait several years before they would be allowed to immigrate legally.  If that's "amnesty", what is the alternative?  Spending billions of our tax dollars to put them in prison?  Some of these people would rather be in prison than live in the poverty they endure in Mexico, so I'm not sure that would even be a deterrent.

After all of the talk about it, what do we have now that we didn't have before?  A fence that cost millions of dollars and doesn't stop them.

Answer 11

"Nobody is in favor of illegal immigration"

Whom ever said that must be new here, yes, many Hispanics on here and in the U.S. are in favor of illegal immigration.

I am not.

If illegal immigration was a good thing, they wouldn't call it illegal.

Answer 12

I am also Pro Immigration reform. I think that waiting 10-20 years to enter a country is a little too long to wait, and I understand why people hop the border and come here illegally. It sounds easy when asked "why don't they just come here to legal way?" but until YOU actually have to go through process you don't know how hard it is. I don't think we should leave the borders open, but for the people who have been here working and not causing problems, I think they should be given a chance to stay here legally.

I see so many negative things said about illegals on yahoo answers, however all of the negativity means nothing to me because I personally know many illegals and not a SINGLE one fits the characteristics that people complain about. The illegals pay taxes, file taxes, are not in prison, are not collecting welfare, etc. They are the most caring, loving people I know.. and some of them are as old as my mother or grandmother. How would you like if someone said such horrible things about your mother?

I don't know where all of the numbers come from. $200 billion paid each year for illegals? I find that hard to believe. And for that 1 illegal who kidnapped someone, there are 100,000 good hearted illegals who don't cause harm to anybody.

All the illegals haters can waste their time spreading their hatred upon other people, but I, as always, will look at both sides of the argument first and stay positive. I think most white Americans are just mad because they know that in the future when they walk down the street they are going to see different colored skin. I personally don't mind. I like diversity.

Answer 13

bean soup will save the world i am a bean soup advocate natural gas global warming is here save the world eat less or others will starve don't be a pig thank you justin timberlake for smiling at me go red socks i am american  

Answer 14

I'm Pro Immigration reform.A lot of the illegal immigrants are good people who deserve to be here and that's why I think they should have a chance at getting legal here.

Answer 15

AGAINST OF COURSE!!

Any thinking person would have to be!

10,000+ people killed in the US by illegal aliens each year.

$338.3 billion in cost

for every $1.00 they pay in taxes they use $17,000 in services

crime rate:

29% of inmates in state and federal prisons (not including immigration violations) are illegal aliens.

What's to like?

Answer 16

I believe immigration is absolutely necessary for this country. We thrive on our differences and part of what makes us so different are the cultures and integration that we allow here. While I do not believe that "illegal" immigration is the right way, I do believe that the United States has made it very difficult to make things right as an immigrant despite its' desire to "help" immigrants do things the right way. The system is incredibly flawed, but there is something to be said for those immigrants trying to pay taxes and join the community as an upstanding citizen. I am not saying that this is everyone, but I do believe that there are a great deal of illegal immigrants who would give anything to pay taxes and become law abiding citizens.

Answer 17

the law is very fair, don't come here without checking in first and wait in line,

Just because you don't agree with a certain law doesn't' mean it isn't fair.

You cannot pick and choose what laws to follow.  Move to Mexico if that's what you want.

Hey look, I have a fan LOL, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I'm flattered.

Answer 18

I'm all for "illegal" immigrants. Why? They always contribute more than they take and they enrich our culture.

Immigrants have always come to the US in search of a better life. The anti-immigration backlash is just another racist, ignorant response to change and growth.

The people that talk the most trash about immigrants are usually the least educated, untraveled, backwards people.

Like Obama said "And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Don't worry, whites will be a minority by 2040 according to the US Census. Nothing can be done to change that. It's too late. So, jump on the bandwagon and join the winning team, Obama 08!

Answer 19

someone who commits a crime, i.e. illegal immigration is a criminal, that's just the way it is.

Pro crime people never think laws are fair, why am I not suprised you don' think illegal invasion should be illegal.

Answer 20

Against.

They are criminals who are leeches who cost this country and its taxpayers $70 billion annually.

Answer 21

all of these people need to stop hatting on mexican people!!!! **** off us!!! don't hate cause y'all ain't a true MEXICAN AND WILL NEVER BE ONE!!!  

Answer 22

You can't have unrecorded people running around.  Why do you think every country has borders?  If we allow undocumented immigration, why have borders.

Undocumented people do not pay taxes, but use our infrastructure, schools and hospitals.  The legal citizens have to pay for that.

It is easier for undocumented people to commit crimes, because they are harder to track.

Answer 23

Good one, Prof. Gringo

You know, it's kind of difficult to answer that one.  My parents did come here illegally but they were very hard workers.  My dad managed to become a U.S. citizen and has learned english and he isn't working in the fields anymore.  Right now he's working for a trucking company and he's making more than half of what he earned as a mayordomo.  You know, I'm proud to say that my parents are an excellent example of successful, hardworking people.

But then again the reason why there are racist people against my people is because the assume that we 'are all criminals'.  That we suck the economy and the benefits like leeches.  And it's true, I'll admit that there are some people that do put this burden on all the good immigrants by taking advantage of the good things.  So you know, it's hard deciding on whether letting all the people in bad situations and letting them all flood into a better country because you'll never know what kind of people you'll get.

Answer 24

I am against illegal activity including illegally entering the country, illegally earning income, illegally establishing an identity, illegally failing to report income, and illegally funneling money back to the country of orgin.

If good folks want to come to this country, I am all for allowing them to do so within the law of the land.

God knows a lot of these fine folks work harder and perform better than some of the lazy people that enjoy citizenship, but resist its responsibilities.
