Your stance on illegal immigration?

Question

What are your feelings on Illegal immigration? Does it drive you up the wall when you see protests for amnesty? For people who Illegally entered the country yet truly believe they deserve the same rights as US citizens? I hope the next president takes care of this issue and quick, it makes me so mad that we have tens of thousands of homeless people yet the government spends BILLIONS of dollars housing, feeding, and support illegal immigrants that should have never been here in the first place.

I’ve watched Santa Ana California go down the drain in the past 10 years due to illegal immigration, you are lucky if you can find a store that has someone speaking perfect English, I wont even get out of my car in many parts of the city out of fear of the ridiculous amounts of “South siders” roaming the streets amongst other prominent Hispanic gangs in the area.

Answer 1

Sigh, yes it's annoying.

My favourtie argument is the "this was our country 1st one" yet if they still owned it there would be NOTHING here they would want.

Answer 2

As a former legal permanent resident, now a US citizen, I believe ALL people who enter the US should apply to come legally.

90% of legal immigrants feel as I do.  Illegals are breaking the law, and diminishing the rights of US citizens and legal immigrants.

An example is what happened in 1986 when illegals were granted amnesty by Reagan through Ted Kennedy's bill:  TAMRA, etc. The rights of legal residents were compromised in the process AND the illegal situation mushroomed from 1 million knowns to 20 million!

As time goes on, more rights will be diminished - not to mention that it costs $340 billion annually of tax payer funding  to address the illegal immigration issue, and that illegals are fodder as slave labor for big business.

Those who do come into this country illegally are telling us that they are morally and ethically not trustworthy. They should not be here. It’s insulting to those of us who have come here legally and it is ILLEGAL of the government to think and do otherwise.

Answer 3

You wanted at least one country to be named.

" CANADA"

You have over 250,000 illegal immigrants of Sri Lankan

(Jaffna) Tamils.  They have now become citizens of Canada

They enjoy all the benefits of the  Canadians , who are

citizens by descent.

You can't regret about the illegal immigrantion into USA from

Mexico.  California was part of Mexico ( annexed to USA).

Texas is a bordering state of Mexico.  You, Americans, want cheap labour. Mexicans are prepared to work for a living.

USA is not going to be poorer by feeding these people.

Mexicans deserve the support

Answer 4

Con

Answer 5

Eso! It's VERY annoying.

Time we turn it around. And we are.

Answer 6

Your points are all valid but few politicians seem concerned to address this issue.

Richard Lamm is a visionary. Read what he observes.

Answer 7

You are not crazy, our government is. This crisis has reached the saturation point.

Pastor Farley, Spain, owned Mexico. In 1810 Mexico got their independence. So you are saying all Spanish who originally inhabited Texas then became Mexicans. Therefore, Mexicans get Texas ownership based on that?

If so, then Mexico needs to go back to being controlled by Spain and USA needs to be under British Rule again.

Here's a link showing how ANTI-American illegals really are.

Answer 8

Actually i can name a country and that country is Canada.

I live in Canada and they do try to help illegal immigrants. I don't hate them and it doesn't drive me up to wall because most of them came here for a better chance at life. I look at it as i was born in a Developed country and i have a very privilaged life and they don't. If they fight to get help you can't look down on them because if you were in their position you would be doing the same thing.illegals have to work twice as hard just to make ends meet so i do respect them for that. I look at them as humans that need the help.

Answer 9

i don't agreed on legalizing ilegal immigrants because where i live in passaic new jersey you see the women most of then mexicans and peruvians having babies like crazy and not working getting the welfare system, to pay for them to live with food stamps free rent and not working, can you imagine what can happen if they are all legalized the women can get the assistance besides their kids. while their housbands are home or saving their checks.

Answer 10

Well, if it makes you so mad tell the president or whoever is in charge of this to stop spending money housing, feeding, supporting, etc, etc.

By the way, tell the president to stop the war. That is spending EVEN more money

Answer 11

People should stay in their own countries!

And I wish they would stop forcing Spanish on us! It was the ONLY language offered in my high school, it's found in MOST of the children's shows today, and it's in EVERY owners manual. MAKE IT STOP!

Answer 12

dont you understand that most of the citizen hiring them mostly by Hispanic communities they even help them to earn citizenship, thats how they look after each other

Answer 13

I think the best solution to this problem is to turn Texas loose on Mexico and they would have this problem solved in 3 months. Now if some of you think that we are to support Mexico by supporting the illegals, then let Mexico pay us in oil.

Answer 14

AMNESTY all the way!!!!!!!!

Answer 15

Nope America is an immigrants country.I never see on here where Americans stand up and take responsibilty for there own mess. I as a hispanic female that knows people that live in projects and use welfare, have seen more white people on it than any other race. Not to mention NO ONE ever speaks up about Americans filing false disability claims. That is why ssn# is not longer going to be available to those of us that did pay. (Ilegal and legal) Ilegal Immigrants pay billions in tax dollars and SSn# every year while doing this they file for papers and most get turned down. That is what the government wants isn't it for them to pay taxes and do the right thing but when they do they don't get a break.

Americans feel like like everyone in the world should accomodate them. American is and always will be an immigrant country.

Answer 16

yes i totally agree i cant stand those illegal immigrants coming to our country thinking we should support them and their anchor babies our govmt needs to stop these illegals at the border and if they show up at our clinics or hospitals they should go right to jail and then deport them. im sick of my hard earning money go to taxes to give them things that they do not deserve stay in mexico you freakin freeloaders

Answer 17

If we don't do something about it, our culture will be eroded away. Too many people are coming into the country at one time for them to all be "Americanized". Speaking English, for example. You would think they would at least try to learn it, because you need to know the language to succeed in this country. I am not xenophobic, but if you're going to come to America, just do it legally. Actually, legal immigration is good for America. It adds to our cultural diversity, our image as a melting pot, it and keeps society strong. The next president definitely needs to take a tougher stance on this than Bush.

Answer 18

I think that illegal immigration is well... uhmmm ILLEGAL!

I don't dislike immigration- My entire family immigrated to the US, nor do I dislike Mexicans...  I have many Hispanic close friends.

This is an issue of laws and those that sneak into our country do it illegally, steal other ppls ssn's, and drain our system without paying taxes.

The top decider of whether or not  a government is sovereign is determinded by whether or not the government has secure borders- and we do not!

Has anyone ever studied how  the US stole Texas from Mexico?  Mexico owned Texas but there weren't very many Mexican citizens living in Texas, and as our country expanded westward American citizens began to "squat" in Texas.  Mexico realized this but tried to pretend that it wasn't a huge problem, but soon American's began to out number Mexican's and before you realized it Texas was taken from Mexico... Sounds like history repeats itself doesn't it!

"Unless we study the errors of history we are doomed to repeat it."
