What is wrong with america? Towns are changing signs so the hispanics can read and drive WTF! This is enabling them to get lazier (not all are lazy though.) If we go to mexico we are expected to learn there language not the other way around. But in america we need to learrn there's so it easier for them. Absolutely ridiculous. Changing signs to spanish also should be illegal in the states I believe.

say 12-15 million desperate Chinese started to come in waves in search of better economic opportunity, liberties they don't have at home, etc. They promise to only do jobs that Mexican citizens won't do and somehow will do them for less than the Mexicans (who suppossedly won't do them anyway). They are so desperate to get to Mexico, they don't follow the proper immigration channels and work/exist "illegally" in their new home; they don't pay most taxes since they are paid under the table but since they are the most needy of services, they rely on govt services the most. These immigrants are happy to be making money and taking care of themselves, family and community but many don't see any need to learn the language or to change any of their cultural traits. They'll happily live as they were with their previous traditions in their own communities- basically transplanting themselves, communities, and ways of live while basically trying to "assimilate" with mainstream Mexican culture.

Instead of running up to the USA, why don't the Mexicans take matters into their own hands and topple the corrupt Gov.? Are the Mexicans cowards or what? Easier to run than fight?
This really is becoming an issue for us here in the USA. What if our government doesn't remove the illegals from the USA. Are we in a state where we would fight for our rights to have secured borders and control of our infrastructure so that these would not be compormised by illegal invaders from God knows where? I know it's not that simple but something needs to be done or changed from where I veiw things.

More prosecutors assigned to border areas

By: North County Times -

Another 35 prosecutors will be assigned to U.S. attorney's offices along the border, including San Diego, to handle immigration and drug cases, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced Monday.

The move comes weeks after U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, wrote a letter blasting the local U.S. attorney's office for not prosecuting more smugglers of illegal immigrants. Issa cited an unofficial, anonymous report that claimed government attorneys prosecuted only 6 percent of 251 cases involving illegal immigrant smugglers during fiscal year 2003-04.

In a statement released Tuesday, Issa cheered the assignment of more prosecutors, but also criticized the Department of Justice for not giving smuggling cases higher priority.


"This is a start, but the Department of Justice still needs to clearly articulate what resources it needs to adopt a zero-tolerance policy for prosecuting traffickers of human beings," Issa said.

Twenty of the new federal prosecutors will focus on immigration crimes, as will 10 other lawyers, now with the Department of Homeland Security, who will be designated special U.S. attorneys.

Another five lawyers, one for each judicial district on the border with Mexico, will work on drug prosecutions

The main argument I hear justifying the breaking of our laws is that the illegals are doing it for a better life and for a better future for their family, right?

Well, I'd like to see all of the illegals out. Why? To create a better future for my family. Sound familiar?

The schools and hospitals are overburdened, you can't read any street signs in your own language, crime is going through the roof.

Why are the Mexican's families more important than the families of Americans?

My neighbor's got a damn nice big screen tv. My family would definitely benefit from having it. Can I break in and steal it? After all, I'm just looking our for the benefit of my family.

Illegal is illegal is illegal. If they're going to look the other way at the laws preventing them from crossing the border, they should look the other way at the laws preventing me from putting a bullet in their asses.

You would think they would push for the Mexican people to stay in Mexico to help their own economy, keep their families together, and work towards the advancement of the country. Why ask for ways to encourage your own people to leave?

Hello guys I'm a WASP guy and my wife is jewish. When we go on vacation to Mexico the people always try to speak in spanish with my wife because she has black hair and brown eyes and then they supposed she is mexican. But when for some reason they try to talk with me they do it in English because I'm blonde.
Then my question is: why the jewish pretend to be white when they have a darker skin color?
LOL!

I think that it is time for the American citizens that are victemized by illegal aliens to sue our federal govt for not enforcing the immigration laws. Do you think that it would force action by the feds to get them all deported?

For you pro-illegal people out there that are going to try to bash me, read this link. There are plenty of murderous, raping, drug dealing illegals in this country. It's time our citizens hold our federal govt responsible for their lack of action on the immigration front.

The Truth


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Truth Contact Public About Me


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so I've heard so many people tell me that illegal immigrants are evil criminals who do nothing but steal and commit acts of violence. Well, I'm here to tell you not to believe any of that crap. The truth is, most illegal immigrants come to the united states in order to achieve a better life. Most of them live in poor families and cannot support themselves in Mexico, so they flee to the United States for help.

Most illegal immigrants are said to disrespect our laws and pay no mind to them whatsoever and that it can be seen in the way the come by the millions illegally into the United States. The truth of this is all they know is that America is a beautiful utopia in which they can achieve many things and earn money. They don't see how breaking the law can even compare with saving their family from poverty and possible death and starvation.

I'm not sure how many people reading this are religious, but for those that believe know that God gave the world to us as a present. Every inch of the land belongs to all of us and we all deserve rights to the world as it's the gift from God. No human has the right to tell another human that a chunk of the world is "theirs." I realize that some sort if boundary is definitely necessary, but our strict immigration laws make it extremely difficult and time-consuming for an immigrant to come in legally. Know that these people are desperate and need saving soon. If you were a desperate Mexican living in a poor neighborhood with a poor family to support it would seem a lot better to just cross into the United States than go through the wait and effort to get into the United States.

I hear so many Americans now days talk about how illegal immigrants need to "get off their land" because it is theirs and they deserve it. Well, I know this may seem a little harsh, but if you were born into this land, you do not deserve it anymore than an illegal immigrant. Why? Because you did nothing to get into this land but be born. Immigrants are required to go through long acceptance processes in order to obtain citizenship. I believe tests, the knowledge of the English language and history of America are also necessary to get into the U.S. All most Americans had to do to obtain citizenship was to be born. That's it. Once, my school history teacher made my whole class take a citizenship test to see if we knew what immigrants where required to know and most of the class was stunned. We needed to make it open book in order to complete the test! Immigrants are required to study these facts.

My point of the whole paragraph above was to point out that if being born within the U.S. is the only requirement to become a citizen, then what makes anyone think we deserve America? The only ones that deserve it are the ones who work for our country. The ones who stand up and do something. The ones who give without taking and give back to the community. Our ancestors deserved this country. The least we as Americans can do is to allow others to experience America as well. We need to help them gain citizenship and make immigration laws less of a strain. Not one person deserves America, we all deserve it as a whole. The illegal immigrants are just here to lend a helping hand and to live better lives. Please, do not deny them of this.

Now, I know many people try to say that the whole issue of immigration is all racist white people. This is very wrong. Although many people do get very racist when involving this issue (ex: all wetbacks need to get out!!). It is a sad day when things like this turn into a racist issue. It starts off with legitimate arguments, but then quickly turns ugly. If you visit "Yahoo! Answers" on the Immigration page, you will see much racism in one little forum page. I'm not saying all people against illegal immigration are racist, but I definitely see it every day. Notice how the KKK and are very anti-illegal immigrant. Please do not let their train of thought catch on. Racism leads to no good at all.

Many immigrants just want a piece of what America has to offer. They fight hard to get into this great land. Why stop people from achieving their happiness? Is it not an inalienable right to have the pursuit of happiness? They are merely pursuing their happiness. No one's rights are being denied when these people enter the United States.

The great thing about illegal immigrants is that they put millions of dollars into the economy. Most offer cheap labor for work you would probably not do yourself. They do this because they have lived in poverty and are willing to work for virtually no pay in order to just get a little money to live. These people are not greedy. A large number of illegal immigrants can be found building houses, doing yard work, cleaning houses, washing clothes, picking fruit, taking the role of janitor at schools, and much more. Illegal immigrants are good for the economy.

The downside to illegal immigrants is that they cannot pay taxes because they are not legal so they, unfortunately, also take from the economy. That is where amnesty comes in. This is a pardon from the government to the illegal immigrants for their "crime" of crossing the border in order for them to become legal citizens. Doing this would set them free from their fear of getting deported and will also enable them to pay taxes so they will only give to the community. There has been amnesty before and nothing bad happened last time so we can be sure for the same thing to happen again.

A lot of focus has been put on illegal immigrants lately and this makes no sense. These people are here to live and work in America and we want them out? America needs to focus on more important issues. The people who complain about illegal immigrants committing crimes forget that citizens, too, commit way more crimes than illegal immigrants do. Why not focus on those?

In my opinion, the best thing that can be done is to give citizenship to the hard-working beneficial illegal immigrants and deport the takers. Deport only the bad and keep the good. Also, to make the immigration process a lot smoother and more efficient. Besides, while most of us worry about the illegal immigrants already in the country, many other things are happening right behind our backs. Let's focus on the real criminals and not just some people coming to the U.S. to work.

It's a FACT that Hospitals in California and several other states have been forced to close there doors due to non payment by Illegals. It's also a FACT that several Cali Hospitals have closed there ER's in an attempt to keep the number of Illegals down since Illegals tend to use ER's as doctor's offices Knowing they cannot refuse treatment.
