Immigration - May 2007

I know that there is a lot of people on here that are against it. But are you against it because you know there is going to be one?

Go to grassfire (dot) org/42/petition.asp and follow a link at the top left corner for petitions. Join the "Secure Our Borders" petition. Voice your opinion against rewarding illegals for breaking the law. Send everyone you know to this petition. I would put the exact link to the site here, but yahoo is blocking that.

The idea of rewarding illegals who broke the law with a path to citizenship is ridiculous. Our government is a worthless disgrace.

I know many people closed their accounts at Bank of America after finding out that they were going to endulge in the immoral practice of granting bank accounts to illegal immigrants. But that hasn't stopped the many other companies and government organizations from offering their services to them. How much better off would we all be if Americans would take their indignation at illegals for crossing the border and focus it on themselves for welcoming them with these kinds of frivolties? We've had laws on the books forever that are supposed to be doing the same thing that this recent bill is doing, yet we haven't had the vigilence to uphold them. Will we ever get off our high horse and realize that "if we let them, they will come?" There wouldn't be an illegal immigration problem if we didn't allow our own people to give them pseudo-amnesty in the first place, would there?

Why is it that I am expected, under the ruse of political correctness, to honor diversity, but at the same time, if I point out that hispanic families live twenty to a tenement I am considered a racist?

Honestly, if I make a flattering statement like, " No one can pick fruit like those illegals from Mexico!" I am considered a bigot.

If I say something sweet like, " Nobody can put his wife in her place like a Mexican husband...Did you see his wife's black eye? It shows up radiantly against her lily-white skin!" NOT ONE PERSON will commend me for honoring the interracial relationship! They say ignorant things like, "Racist! Go back to Europe!" And I've never even been there! Talk about the pot callong the kettle black!

I would love to travel internationally, but unfortunately for me, there are no low-buget options available to me like canal jumping. I truly admire our neighbors from Mexico; I find it splendid that they are so well travelled, and I admire their resoursefulness!

Everyone says " I'm not against immigration, but to illegal immigration is where I have a problem with".

With this new law taking effect sooner than you can say "Chicharrones" would you guys be over the name calling, lies, hate, exagerations, and get back to your traditional hate focus other than Latinos?

The new immigration bill means illegal immigrants can live here legally. I am a U.S. citizen that met a girl in high school and got married. She was brought in illegally as a 7 year old girl with no choice but to cross the border. So, I try to do things the right way which is to pay a lot of money, throw away my job, and spend lots of time at the U.S. Consulate in Mexico to allow my wife to get a social security number, drivers license and so on just like everyone else right??? No, they say she crossed illegally and has to pay a punishment of staying in Mexico for up to 10 years! Now I either go to Mexico and lose everything I've ever worked for or I lose my wife and my 3 year old daughter. The new immigration law means that everyone here illegally right now will be rewarded to stay. Is that fair when I've tryed to do everything the right way, by the law, by the book, and they've sent my family away? Not even close. Why doesn't Congress see this? THEY SEPERATED ME FROM MY FAMILY!!!!!!

If there are over 145 million working citizens in the US, how much of a difference do illegals make?

If there are 12 million illegals in the country, of that number, all of them are most certainly not working. Therefore, how would our economy "collapse" without them?

Over this immigration issue, with groups like La Raza, Mexica and others out protesting and also with white groups getting more active, starting to counter protest the Mexican groups.
Both sides are using hurtful language like "racist" ,"genocidal","illegal","stolen land", etc. etc.
The groups seem sharply devided along racial and linguistic lines. Banners of radical communism, fascism, etc.
are beginning to appear among the Mexican and American flags being waved.
If our stupid government does'nt do something to solve this problem fairly. Is it actually too late? Have they let it slip so far now that race war is inevitable?

It will just bring anti-America sentiment in Latin America and give him more political power.

Isnt it unjust that just years ago a wall was built in Germany by the leading Communist (enemy by the way not neighbor) country and Americans hating and thinking the worse of it but now building one in its own soil is ok?

Before supporting the building of a wall wouldn't you want to ask those questions if its still worth having a useless wall that has never worked either in Germany or Israel and has brought nothing but problems and hate?

Do as the Mexican government does when Mexico leases their worst types onto our borders. Stop giving them obs and free freebies. They will flood other nations or return home voluntarily. Maybe the Church of Rome can give them shelter the way the Catholic priests are doing here! The vatican has plenty of treasures and gold to give to the illegal aliens to help them raise their families.

It seems to me like a trap to get illegal aliens to turn themselves in and go back to there country. Then they will likely not be able to come back after 2 yrs like they are suggesting because they probably will not be able to pay the $5,000 fine to become a citizen. Sound like a good plan to me but deceitful. However, I think most illegal aliens are going to be smart enough not to believe the hype. LOL
What do you think?

As a citizen If I break the law I am punished. Why should we reward people who came into our country illegally with their objective? No back taxes and they get to stay. If I rob a bank do I get to keep the money after I get caught?

Why isn't it mandatory that students take Spanish?

Most schools have make it mandatory that kids take a foreign language but then they let the kids choose what language they want.

You probably took something useless like French or Italian and now you have to know Spanish to get a good job. Don't you wish they had made you take it earlier so you wouldn't have to take Spanish classes now?
