My daughter's best friend and her family got deported. I want to explain to her why they weren't allowed to stay in the country.

I'm working class and I can only see hardship caused by them,,,,there's no affordable housing and unskilled labour pays peanuts because employers dont have to pay the Poles etc as much...they dont talk to me and there shops and cafe's etc are intimidating as they make you feel uncomfortable, and the women are strictly off limits,that's the reality....am I missing something here?

There are lawbreaking, immoral employers in America who willingly exploit, use and take advantage of the illegals they hire. The illegals willingly accept this mistreatment as a step up from where they come from. SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

In return for willingly accepting such mistreatment, illegals expect that their wrongdoing, lawbreaking, and other undesirable actions should be overlooked. They see how it is that here in America all is not honest and according to the law coming from their dirty employers. So they feel that it is okay for them to follow suit and be dishonest too, in breaking the immigration laws.

We have to solve the problem on both sides. We must oppose lawbreaking employers and fight for zero tolerance on both sides if we are to successfully solve the problem of illegal immigration.

We don't want either element to exist in America. Both sides are running down the standard of life and living in this nation. The masses must punish both by withholding our dollars.

say I break into your house


A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials
in ages!!! It explains things better than all
the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place
across the country protesting the fact that Congress
is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration.


Certain people are angry that
the US might protect its own
borders, might make it harder
to sneak into this country and,
once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand
the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover
me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, "I've made all
the beds and washed the
dishes and did the laundry
and swept the floors. I've
done all the things you don't
like to do. I'm hard-working
and honest
(except for when I broke into your house).

Look at this:

*Mexican immigrants are more likely to say the U.S. is too closed -– 22 percent vs. 11 percent of other immigrants, although 41 percent say the country strikes the right balance.
* Mexican immigrants say they are drawn to the U.S. by the opportunity to work and make a living (48 percent compared to 34 percent of other immigrants) rather than personal or political freedoms.
* Fifty-four percent of Mexican immigrants vs. 68 percent of other immigrants surveyed, say the U.S. should expect all immigrants who don’t speak English to learn it.
* Fifty-one percent of Mexican immigrants think all public school classes should be taught in English (rather than allowing some classes to be taught in a student’s native language). Among other immigrants, the majority is stronger (67 percent).

Is there an entitlement issue here?

What is your view?
Is our concern of losing jobs to illegal immigrants blinding us to the real problem?

Regarding the news link (below), Mexican drug cartels are now attacking the Mexican
Military.
The cartels would not do this unless there was a lot of money at stake.
And American drug addicts are paying that money.

Perhaps the so-called “War on Drugs” should be re-thought and re-packaged as part of the war on terror.
My best analysis is this: if our government does not act quickly to stop illegal immigration, Americans will witness a new wave of drug-fueled terror in our streets.

Please note that this is not a diatribe against Mexicans who come here legally to work or those seeking to become citizens.
I am not one of those “English-only” xenophobic people who don’t want anyone in our country but Americans. Immigrants made this country great and I welcome the good citizens from south-of-the-border as long as they abide by our laws.

Pretty much everyone was shocked to see that they were illegals. No one even local authorities did not question it and most immigration experts stated if they were not white they would have been discovered a lot quicker than now.

Persoanlly, I think that it's basically a right vs wrong issue, but this is not what I'm told by illegal immigration advocates (who obviously claim that anyone who's against illegal immigration is a racist).

When are people going to realize that Britain is overcrowded.We allow way too many immigrants into the country and to meet future housing demands the green belts will have to be bulldozed over.

It's time to put an end to mass immigration and multi-culturalism which the government is forcing upon us without asking us.It's time to VOTE BNP and save our country before it is too late.

The illegal immigrants took to the streets the other day to demand { not ask } for amnesty . They want citizenship , but they don't want to earn it . Let me explain - There are some proposals that have been agreed upon it seems universally.

1. Pay a fine . A fair fine would be one equal to the same amount that they are going to use in social services , for their entire life span . The estimates are near 1.2 million . If they had that much money , they wouldn't be coming here .

2. Pass a background check . If I'm not mistaken , by them being here they are committing a crime . That disqualifies them automatically . If they have be here for anything more than one day , that is conspiracy to further an ongoing criminal act . All this happening across state lines and international boundaries, a RICO violation. Felonies . They survive with some form of documentation , which is fraud or ID theft .

3. Read , Write , and Speak English . Not going to happen . They are already demanding that official documents be bilingual . Next are street signs . But which language do we go to . Signs in 62 languages ? I don't think so .

4. Pay back taxes . How do we verify the amount of back taxes they owe . They're here illegally and hidden for years ! How many and at what wage to tax at ? We've already established that they lie , cheat , steal , and are untrustworthy .

5. Loyalty Oath - They don't respect this country enough to obey our laws , how can we expect them to be loyal to the U.S. to become a citizen ? You have to be faithful to this country , they can't be when they won't renounce their flags , yet they burn ours publicly . They also send our money overseas for non citizens .

Every step towards citizenship , they stumble and our politicians know that there is no acceptable path because they fail every test .

No this is not a rant and not meant to sound offensive as this is merely an observation - Do you agree with it ?

Everytime I hear a debate on immigration, someone gets called a racist. Why is racist to be aginst illegal immigration? Now, if someone was against illegal immigration from only African countries or Nordic countries, then I would see a point. I don't get it??!!

As shocking or surprising as it may seem, the foreign spouse of a Sri Lankan does not seem to enjoy any marital rights in this country. The foreign man or woman who marries a Sri Lankan is on a very short leash and could, quite legitimately, be kicked out of the country [even after the first night] on the local spouse informing the Controller of Immigration & Emigration to cancel his or her wife’s or husband’s Spouse Residence Visa (SRV).

I am trying to obtain my US passport and am unsure if I can do that at the moment due to a speeding ticket that I have yet to pay and my inspection sticker ticket as well. Or, is it only convicted felons who would have trouble getting a passport? I'm fresh out of money and can't pay the ticket right now; so, was just wondering if I could hold off 'til after I got back to the states. Please help! Remember: it's only a warrant for a traffic violation not a felony...which is why I'm having a difficult time answering this question!
