"The son of undocumented Mexican immigrants who had to work two jobs to keep food on the table, Cejudo gave the U.S. its first Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling in Beijing Tuesday with a stunning win over Japan's Tomohiro Matsunaga in the 55-kilogram (121 pounds) final."

Answer 1

In my area it is the crime rate.

Answer 2

Success does not justify breaking the law.

The problem with illegal immigrants is that they are breaking the law.  

All four sets of my great grand parents came to America from Russia LEGALLY in the early 1900's.  I work with immigrants form 22 countries who all came here legally and have permission to work legally.  If they can do it legally, then everyone should be able to do it legally.

My problem is not with the people wanting a better life for themselves.  My problem is with anyone who breaks the law.

Answer 3

Well, basically is having someone who has not been inspected by the proper authorities to determine whether he is appropriate to enter the country.

But nevertheless, as far as I know, the legals commit bad deeds and the citizens as well. That makes you wonder  

Answer 4

10,000+ killed each year by illegal aliens and the US get 1 gold medal!

What if your family was one of those 10,000+ killed yearly by illegal aliens? Would you be happy to "sacrifice" your family for a gold medal?

I guess life is cheap in you world!

Answer 5

Illegals are breaking laws, increasing crime rates, not paying taxes, putting a financial burden on our health care and school systems, stealing jobs, hurting the economy, ......... and the list goes on and on.

Are those enough problems of having illegals, or do you need more???  I'd be more than happy to continue.

Answer 6

they'll exterminate everybody in the land, establish their own criminal corporation, allow foreigners to come in and become citizens while the native inhabitants of the land live off scraps, get rich off the income that the foreigners make, and end up strengthening "illegal immigration" laws to prevent illegal immigrants into the land that they stole.

Answer 7

I would prefer sending the illegal back and not getting the gold medal!!!

Answer 8

What are the problems of having illegal immigrants?

and then you give an example of a legal immigrant. Good one.

You just don't get it do you. Why do you turn a cheek to the notion of an ILLEGAL immigrant versus a LEGAL immigrant. The fact that Cejudo's father decided to break United States law has nothing to do with his son. Illegal immigration has destroyed the US quota system. Not to mention the drug trafficking of marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, other narcotics, evading taxes, receiving free health care, pulling money out of our economy, and the list goes on. When you see cases of illegal immigrants who receive immunity in sanctuary cities after running over kids driving drunk, your blood starts to boil. Opportunity comes with sacrifice, and immigrants who try taking shortcuts to dodge US Law, are narcissist. Living in the free world also means taking care of your own. And anyone who thinks that breaking the law to enter the US can be justified, is merely selfish and can at most only become a liability for the United States.

Answer 9

The problem is that they make your country richer.

Answer 10

The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average illegal alien is $55,000 cost to the American taxpayer in a 5-year span. You personally pay $11,000 every year to illegal aliens.

Im glad you feel that one immigrant justified what they cost taxpayers,personally I'm not impressed. Lots of Americans work two jobs to keep food on the table,and dont get the fringe benifits from the government for illegal entry.

Answer 11

They increase the strain on the welfare system

They increase the strain and costs on health system

They reduce the number of jobs available to American citizens

They do not pay taxes

They cause a certain degree of wage stagnation

They cause increases in the crime rate

The only people who really consider illegal immigrants good for the country are business owners who are benefiting from a constant stream of cheap labor which increase their profit margins.

One gold medal won does not erase the numerous problems caused by millions.
