No one else? I found it strange how proud everyone was at the Olympics for a bunch of recent immigrants that won medals for us, yet at the same time many complaining about other legal immigrants in our country.

What exactly is the difference if they are all legal?

  1. Yeah believe it or not illegal and legal support america, first when someone answers with illegals taking money away and giving it back to there country is good for us. Economics my friend they send back dollars weakening there currency the peso, or whatever form of currency they have. Making the dollar even stronger, illegals do take money away from us using stolen social security numbers off dead people. You may think oh a felony stealing money and benefits from us, yet the illegals would then have to pay taxes, in turn the illegal now is contributing to our economy paying for his health-care. illegals who have not stolen give put money into our economy and keep businesses going especially in small towns. When some towns kick out most of their illegals the town lost money and many businesses shut down. I can go on forever my economics teacher at UCLA taught this to and proved this to us. Also I am half black and native american I say let them in they can't do any worse to my fathers land than what the first wave of illegals did.


  2. send all illegals home I dont care if they turn Sh*t to gold  

  3. Illegals don't bother me because I'm a professional and I don't compete with them for work. I wonder, if the problem we have with them is that they are breaking the law then why don't we change the law to make it easier for them to become legal? Answer? It's not the illegality that bothers us, it's the people. Us Americans are nativists

  4. All of you talking about immigrants taking your jobs, and that they should be sent home are band of idiots. Last time that i went to Mc Donalds, KFC, and any other low paying jobs, all I saw was hard working immigrants (illegal or not).

    It is because your lazy american a**es do not want to work that they hire them.

    You are all stupid!

  5. Legal immigrants are okay, whether athletes or not.

    Typically, legal immigrants strive to acclimate to our culture and enhance it. Blend into the melting pot, so to speak. I applaud who achieve great success, and admire those who have the courage to reach out and become legal immigrants.

    I know quite a number of legal immigrants, in a variety of career fields.

    They compete for their jobs and bring skills.

    We don't complain about legal immigrants.

  6. legal immigrants are welcomed, illegal are not. and if the parents of any athlete, whether he won 1 or 50 gold medals are illegal they still deserve to be punished and  deported. and until the laws change, there is not much we can do about anchor babies.

    report and deport!

  7. I don't mind immigrants, heck I love them.  They made this country what it is today.

    What's so annoying is all the ILLEGALS coming from Mexico who are doing nothing but getting low wage jobs to send to their "amigos" back in Mexico.  Not to mention sucking us tax payers of our money.

  8. They're called Hypocrites!

    It first started off with illegal immigrants, but today is different. The media, politicians and hate groups that rally are at blame. They only concentrate on the negative issues when it comes to the immigrants, and that has caused hatred towards anybody that resembles an immigrant regardless of their immigration status. I find it funny that people where cheering on the immigrants that represented the US. But if these same people were seen on the street, things would be different.

  9. There haven't been complaints about legal immigrants ... but the pro illegal groups have been constantly trying to link the two groups to give the illegals a better reputation.

    There are issues with certain visas (H1b I think they are called) but in this instance the biggest problem is protecting the immigrants from virtual slavery to their sponsor masters

  10. because immigrants are only americans when america benefits from us. you know what i mean?

  11. Legal immigrants are ok. Its the illegal ones that are NOT ok!

  12. You know, immigrants have formed this country, since the Europeans arrived here. They made the natives learn english instead of them learning the natives' language

    Now something similar is happening. Spanish speaking people are replacing the english and they don't want a taste of their own medicine
