Immigration - May 2007

Mexico is invading our country one militia member at a time and it's army is routinely invading the USA and kidnapping US Citizens and protecting drug shipments.

Why don't we conduct a Punitive Expedition into Mexico to punish it like we did in the past?

If as you say "illegals are doing jobs that Americans wont do" then it only stands to reason that you believe these positions were developed/invented in America by industries and merchants for a labor force other than Americans. The question is...Match the job with the illegal. Tell us all what position was invented and for which foreign national it was created for.
For the record...I am pretty certain that not one single pro-illegal will answer this very simple question.

We have people prohibited from renting for legal things. Why is it discriminitory when people want only documented legal people in this country to be able to rent?

If poverty and a lack of opportunities is an excuse for Illegals\Criminals to break the law... why do we lock up bank robbers?

Are burglars uninvited guests or criminals?

During debate on the Senate floor, Senator Ted Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said, "...our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset...." The act's supporters not only claimed the law would not change America's ethnic makeup, but that such a change was not desirable. However, in the end, this act dramatically changed the face of American society by making it a multicultural, multi-ethnic nation. Prior to the act, the United States was overwhelmingly composed of whites of European descent (89% in 1965), with the only minority group of significant size being blacks (10%). Since the implementation of the law, the relative proportion of the white population has been in steady decline, with whites projected to lose their majority status during the 21st century.

Are from area(s) of the country that are not highly populated by illegal immigration? My theory is that most of those who are pushing for illegal immigration are from area's of the US that do not have illegal immigration to deal with. Whats your opinion, please let us all try to be respectful of one an other when answering.

I am so happy. I live in Dallas. FB citizens just voted to make it mandetory for landlords not to lease to illigal aliens. These landlords will be fined if they do not comply. Now it is time for the Nation to follow.

I hope that in the next 15 or 20 years the next president and vice president should be children that were born in the US from illegal parents from Mexico. What do you think? America would be a better place.

Sorry, I am a foreigner ok, I came here "legally" some years ago, I pay taxes, I went to school and "I" paid for it, I am in transportation, I earned my way through hard work, and I gained the respect of the drv iers out there because I erarned that too, it was a predominately male industry when I started. my husbands family wanted to buy trucks, they scratched and saved and bought trucks, trailers the whole nine yards ok
I got a call today that makes me SICK..but how is it that a mexican FEMALE can come to this country, cry to the feds she had a poor education and they . buy her a brand new truck, brand new trailer, pay her to go to school, pay for her fuel, paid all her registrations, lic and legal crap she out right now owns that truck NEVER PAID A DIME and she gathers a fat check $4000.00 PER WEEK and to make it worse she is out there bragging about . oh and get this she can't even back up she asks the drivers to do it for her.. she says "americans are so funny".. jokes on you!!!

I heard this bleeding heart communist liberal say that if Jesus was in charge of America that he wouldn't put a wall up along the US border so illegals couldn't come over.

I couldn't disagree more. The law is the law and it doesn't matter what you think about it. We need people to follow the law. If they didn't, we would have chaos in our society.

Illegal immigrants hurt our economy. If they were to all magically leave, our economy would sky rocket. We would be so much better off without them. Just think about how much crime mexicans cause. It's a known fact.

And think about all the drain on the economy since they don't have medical insurance.

It may be true that you can't choose where you're born and that the illegal immigrants have children that they are trying to help out, but you know what? Last time I checked, you can immigrate here legally. It may take years and there's no gaurantee that you will be accepted, but you know what, life is not fear. Get used to it. Agree?

As an economics graduate I am repeatedly hearing spurious assertions made regarding this issue. Immigration CAN of course be beneficial, especially in the short-term.

Maintaining the current taxpayer/beneficiary ratio would require millions of immigrants every year. But IMMIGRANTS GET OLD, too. So still more immigrants would be needed to pay their benefits – one estimate suggest 180 million by 2080.

Low cost workers stifle investment, as companies continue to use cheap leabour instead of investing in technology which could ultimately replace labour. Technologhical advancement is the source of real per capita economic growth. Depressed wages also affect the poorest people - which can have social/political consequences - the rise of the BNP?

Immigrants do play a vital part in our economy, importing skilled workers to bridge a shortage gap is a good thing - the NHS is an example. But just how ethical it is to poach medical staff from the poorest countries of the world?

The year is 1907.....but the speaker knew what he was talking about.

READ PRINT UNDER PICTURE



Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

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). According to the protesters:
a. You are: Required to let me stay in your house;
b. Required to add me to your family's insurance plan;
c. You are Required to Educate my kids;
d. You are Required to Provide other benefits to me and to my family
