I am all for immigration but through the legal channels of the government. So why do advocates for illegal immigration say we are turning our backs on our own immigrant ancestors? But didn't people on the Mayflower pay? Didn't people that went to Ellis Island pay? I am African American so were my ancestors immigrants or just forced to come here? srry about all the questions...

Illegals do seem to be better educated about the american political system and less likely to believe the lies of the repubs, therefore I the fear that the illegals might wipe out the Americans ability to elect a republican majority is why they are so afraid of them???

how hard is it to put up a big net, or something, so they will stay in their own countries during the winter, and leave our economy alone? and why are these hippy libs want to give them amnesty? if it were up to ted kennedy, these damn birds would take over our country for half the year, take advantage of our social programs, never learn how to speak any human language (sure, they can repeat things, but that doesn't mean they speak english), then leave a few months later? and why the f*ck to i have to press 1 for bird language?

"The New York Police Department report released Wednesday describes a process in which young men — often legal immigrants from the Middle East who are frustrated with their lives in their adopted country — adopt a philosophy that puts them on a path to violence."

Are we hoping to appease these people or are we destined to become the new Palestine?

Hello. I recently had an interview with a company I REALLY want to work for. The interview went great!! The problem came from my original application. My last employer went out of business and I was sketchy on current contact information for my last supervisor. The number on the application was no longer current. This new place I applied called today to ask if I had the correct information. After two number attempts, we got it right. Does this make me look ridiculous? Despite the great interview, could this cost me the job?

Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?

Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.

Consumers don't want expensive produce.

Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth, a farce, and a lie. there is no such thing as "cheap labor."

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or $6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

He qualifies for food stamps.

He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

I say the legal immigrants can stay, illegal deported no questions asked. But as far as border security I think we are having such a problem with keeping the immigrants out, what is Mexico doing to keep thier citizens in.If they are doing anything its not much. I think if Mexico is'nt going to help they should forfeit thier land to the US.

"MEXICO CITY (AP) - The closure of an American-run railroad in Mexico stranded thousands of U.S.-bound Central American migrants near the Guatemala border.

Many have been deported today by immigration officials.

Some migrants tried to walk hundreds of miles to the next working rail line. Others -- with no money or provisions -- turned themselves in to Mexican authorities.

The government this week sent federal police and soldiers to clear out the migrants, who for decades have hopped freight cars on the Chiapas-Mayab railway.

In late July, Connecticut-based Genesee & Wyoming withdrew from a 30-year concession to operate the line.

Central American migrants continued to stream into the area. Thousands were camped along rail lines -- waiting for trains."

What do you think?

I'm trying to get a job in a global company so I can be transfered but I'm pretty sure I'd get paid better working for a car dealership. Anyways, I'd like to move by next year. What's the best way to go about it (is the global company idea good) and will it be a bit easier for me? I'm going to be 21 in November. Should I just try to go to school there and get a work and school visa? I'm majoring in Art.

No jokes like: "No you'll never get in because you're not Arab." or "Just claim asylum." I'm not Arab. I'm not being persecuted in the USA. I'm not going to pretend I am.

i hear some say that they are not paying taxes, but i do not see how that is possible. their pay is taxed, or at least it is supposed to be if the employer is doing the right thing. if they are renting apartments or houses they are paying property taxes to the land owner who is paying the state.
i hear that they are using the "public health" services, if their employers offered group insurance they would not be using the public services.
every time the immigrant buys something in Texas he pays sales tax, every time he buys gasoline in Texas he pays gasoline taxes and road use taxes. the immigrant is not exempt from taxes, he is paying the same as you and me.
Texas is a big state and we hafve plenty of room for more people who pay taxes to the state, like immigrants do

I recently visited their website and was very disturbed with their pathetic opinions about infants born in the us by illegal people. let me just mention that my daughter's father,my husband,is in this country illegally and i'm a us citizen. how dare they call my child a "illegal alien infant". i can illegally kick their ***. My daughter has every individual right in this country because she was born here. regardless of her parents status. the constitution and amendments does not say otherwise. Im truly disgusted by these people and if they were truly "mother" they would be at home caring for their children and minding their own business. also, they mention how "illegal infants" are a danger for the true us babies, i'd like to know what danger, they are us citizens themselves idiots. MAIA are pathetic, worthless mothers and they know this. They have the nerve to say that all illegal mothers are using their children, when those illegal mothers love their children more than these idiots.

I posted two questions about my Polish wife, and passport issues. I also posted questions about cruises. I was shocked to see I recieved, no cruise answers yet numerous racist comments about my wife. For all those who hide behind thier computer screens I pity you. For all you racist itellectually challenged minions who believe she married me for my passport, well DING DONG Poland are part of the EU and they dont need british passports, in fact "THOSE PEOPLE" as somebody puts it get more benifits than british citizens, she was doing it for our children, a selfless task which inept racists could never understand.

A Somali arrives in Minneapolis as a new
immigrant to the United States.

He stops the first person he sees walking down
the street and says,
"Thank you Mr. American for letting me in
this country, giving me housing,
food stamps, free medical care, and free
education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, I am
Mexican."

The man goes on and encounters another
passerby. "Thank you for having such
a beautiful country here in America !"
The person says, "I not American, I
Vietnamese."

The new arrival walks further, and the next
person he sees he stops, shakes
his hand and says, "Thank you for the wonderful
America !"
That person puts up his hand and says, "I am
from Middle East , I am not
American!"

He finally sees a nice lady and asks, "Are you
an American?" She says, "No,
I am from Africa !"
Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the
Americans?"
The African lady checks her watch and
says..."Probably at work."

I answered a similar question yesterday, but wanted to add some points:

That it's a victimless crime.

That those who speak out against it must all be racist.

That it's not really that big of a problem. (Come to a border state sometime).

That they're all just here to work (I didn't know their babies and children could work, or even their wives that stay at home, or their nanas who don't work..)

That it helps Americans. (Lowering the working wage to an unlivable level is helping? Not unless you're into slavery)

That it doesn't directly affect Americans (notice that everyone who thinks this lives closer to Canada than Mexico)

That everyone is illegal except for Native Americans, so be quiet (I'm a Native American. Ever heard of the Bering Strait? Plus, this is a classic logical fallacy and distraction technique, the strawman. Come up with actual facts/evidence aside from buzzwords and slogans and I'll talk to you)

That it isn't a bipartisan issue.
