Immigration - October 2006

When the statistics show that second and third generation families are speaking english, why is there so much backlash against spanish speakers in the unitied states?

1st generation immigrant families: 7.8% are english speaking households

2nd generation immigrant families (both parents foreign born) 73.4% are english speaking households

2nd generation immigrant families (one parent foreign born) 92.5% are english speaking households

3rd generation immigrant families 97.0% are english speaking households

I personally beleive that anyone that violates American Law is a criminal. Im talking big crimes like sneaking into my country illegally. Americas population will reach 300 million tomorrow and many of the babies are from illegal criminal parents that broke American Law and invaded our borders.

I am not a racist but I love my country. Either respect America or leave. Loving your country is not immoral and trying to protect America is every AMERICANS duty. Illegal criminal Mexicans arent the only ones sneaking in our borders but everyone knows the majority of illegal criminals that sneak into America are Mexicans.

I dont understand why this is allowed. This is America and Americas borders need to be secured to protect america From Criminals, rapist, drug dealers etc..

Even if we deport All criminals that came here illegally our economy will recover and jobs will be forced to stop paying slave wages. I am just sick of the excuses

I've been checking out Yahoo Answers for a journalism assignment on stalkers, harrassers and identity fraud & found the subject mentioned a lot in this category. I've garnered more subject material to use than I would have imagined and was surprised at the people who accuse other people of stalking them and how vehemently the posts are worded. To be the victim of a stalker would naturally be upsetting, worrisome, and frightening. Obviously, victims of harrassment and stalking don't use direct provocation to ward it off or bring more attention to themselves. But here they do. And one good example is "hittykiiod" accusing "UnitedAnswersLeague" in lengthy detail of threatening his life & stalking, & when I tried to follow this trail, Yahoo stated hittykiiod is suspended from YahooAnswers. UAL isn't. Bottom line: this area is not informative and useless due to the participants themselves.

America made a great society in under 300 years with hard work and dedication. Is there anything preventing Mexicans from just working as opposed to coming here, taking the easy way out by stealing true American's jobs, breaking our law, and not even bothering to learn any English!?

It's American business owners who are moving overseas to hire people for cheaper wages? These companies are moving to India, China, and get this, MEXICO so they will have cheaper labor. And the jobs going overseas are jobs Americans are doing right now! Not cleaning and hard labor jobs.

Why is it that people in this country are always saying that children come first before anything, but yet if you are not legal in this country suddenly that comes before children, and anything else. Every day families are ripped apart, and parents are ripped away from their children just because they do not have legal status in this country. My daughter's father was ripped out of her life and if being taken back to Mexico...who knows if she will ever see him again. My daughter and I are both US citizens but suddenly we have no rights, and who cares if she cries for him.....he's illegal! Just the other day I heard of Immigration officers going into a factory, locking the doors, and checking social security numbers on every worker. The ones that didn't have good numbers were boarded onto 2 buses, and hauled off to Mexico. This country always says children come first, but......

These has been marches in the USA by Illegals demanding rights that they dont qualify for since they are ILLEGALS. Instead of marching in the USA asking for rights, if these same approx. 20 million Mexicans had banded together and protested in Mexico, do you think they could have made a difference in their own countrys future and their own future. Did they march in the USA because they feel that USA is weak and will roll over and they, the ILLEGALS like always be able to take advantage of the USA because the USA doesnt have the guts to enforce to laws on the books. (meaning USA is all talk and no show when it comes to illegal immigrants/ mostly to the Mexicans).

Mexico wants to be a good neighbor why when you have a baby in Mexico, if you are a foreign national, let alone an illegal alien. Why do we? Mexico does NOT provide a free education for foreign nationals, let alone those who are there illegally. Why do we? Mexico does NOT provide ANY 'public benefits' for foreign nationals, let alone those who are there illegally. Why do we? Mexico does NOT provide free emergency treatment to foreign nationals, let alone illegal aliens. Why do we? In fact, when you need emergency care in Mexico you pay thousands up front, before you receive ANY treatment!
While most Americans 'haven't a clue' and our pathetic government remains aloof and immobile, Mexico enforces laws that are the exact opposite of ours. Outrageously, our government continues to leave our country wide-open to the Mexican invasion plan. A repeatedly declared plan to overrun America, in a human 'tsunami-like' wave after wave of its poorest citizens, who arrive here and suck our schools, jails, health, and welfare systems dry! Mexico is maliciously manipulating our, give-away 'free' society, while Bush 'fiddles.' Wake up America, before it's too late!
