Come on, give me a break!!! Illegal immigrant pay taxes just like everybody, and many of them don't get a tax return. They pay social security taxes and when they are ready to retire they don't get retirement benefits because they are illegal and they don't qualify. But they qualify to pay the 6% of their gross earnings and don't get SS benefits? Please. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS PAY TAXES JUST LIKE EVERYBODY, SO STOP SAYING THAT YOU PAID FOR THEIR KIDS EDUCATION AND FOOD.

Because when you star it's visible to everyone else in the forum. I'm not saying all antis(or even the majority) are racist but you have to take into consideration that he used multiple slurs against African-Americans and Mexicans and 6 people agreed with him. Not to mention the people that said yes to his his last question. I am right or wrong to say that a few of are fellow YA users are closeted racists?

After dealing with the system personally on an illegal immigrant situation I realized our laws do more to protect an illegal than deter an illegal.Our basic immigration laws weren't made to handle the situation we now have.So instead of saying enforce the laws shouldn't you really be saying change the laws?

Would you move to get a job?Would you leave your family to go to another country?Would you steal to feed them?Would you give up your computer and internet if you had to buy food?Would you beg at the Welfare office?Would you move in with family?Have you even ever been that desperate?

I've heard many of you talk a big talk but I know for a fact that most of the stuff that you talk about will never happen. Unless the right and the left come up with a compromise nothing will ever happen. You can all stop as many immigration bills as you can but just so you know about 4,500 new illegals come here every day. No side is going to completely win. You can't deport them all sorry but not only is that impossible but it isn't a favorable idea to most American. I hear all of you complain about illegal immigration every day but you rarely come up with a viable solution. So what do you say now" we'll just make sure illegals don't get jobs but getting tougher on the people that hire them " We'll I'm fine with that as long as we legalize the illegals that have jobs and speak English. Yes I know you all hate the part but let's be realistic I know for a fact that AT LEAST 1/2 of the country favoring giving them some sort of legalization ..Heck even some antis in private have told me that they favor giving them amnesty (just not to their extended families) Well why did the immigration bill fail? Because while a lot of Americans want legalization they differ on the details. Heck I agree with you on a few things, you'll get your walls, you'll get English as the official language of the US but frankly that's about as much as you'll get. So what do you think about the plan I proposed?

I think each and every person who is pro illegal should take in and support an illegal family. They would be soley responsible for all costs and the illegal family would live with the household,one big happy family. There would be no applying for welfare etc. and you'd also be held accountable if they did anything criminal.
We anti's wouldn't complain since they wouldn't be taking jobs and we wouldn't be paying for them. You'd have your illegals here,everyone's happy.
Who agrees? If not,please state why.

TRUTH: Prior to 1965 when the disastrous Immigration Bill was passed, there was very little immigration. In fact, between 1925 and 1965, there was even a period of net emigration out of the United States. During this time, our grass was getting cut, our meat was being packed, our children were being watched and our houses were being cleaned. The idea that somehow we suddenly can't run a country without an unlimited supply of foreigners is absurd.

Those in favor of foreign labor are corporations who are addicted to cheap labor. They are the ones who are benefiting. But their benefit comes at the American tax payer's expense when you consider that the American tax payer is virtually subsidizing the labor costs of the greedy corporations by supplying the illegal foreign workers and their families with welfare, free education, free medical, WICs, housing assistance, etc. -- something the corporations won't do.

Americans won't allow themselves to be exploited like illegals do, but they WILL do the work that illegals do for fair compensation and benefits. If Americans did the work that illegals do at higher pay, would that benefit the consumer? You bet it would in the long run. But many Americans who do not care about America's future are consumers who favor the idea of exploiting illegal workers because it keeps commodity and service prices down in the short term.

Under federal law, illegal immigrants aren't eligible for TANF, WIC, food stamps, or other forms of federally-funded assistance. They also can't get social security, medicare or medicaid. So someone please explain why they cost taxpayers so much?

I went to a restaurant called the Bombay Bite yesterday with my wife. She asked if they had a Spanish version of the menu and they said no. She asked, well then how are we supposed to order and the waiter was very rude. I had to punch him in the face and then they made us leave. Why did they do that?

ok, im just waiting for the 2008 president elections. so far in candidates, ive only heard about Hillary Clinton and Obama, both of whom support the illegals! all pro-illegals love them. all right. but why is it that i havent heard much about candidates who really do care about America and its citizens? Like Ron Paul?!! i just found out about Paul yesterday through a question in Y!A. Ron Paul is against illegal immigration and anything that will favor the illegals. i read about him too. in my view, he is a hero and the hope i have been looking for! So why, just oh why havent i heard about him on T.V????

But $200 worth of building stuff and you get to take a day laborer home with you to help out.

Would you take advantage of this special if all Home Depots started doing it?

According to Ruben Navarrette Jr., columnist from the Washington Post Writers Group, because we cannot live without our gardeners and maids to keep up appearences, we "welcome" illegal immigration and thus continue the hypocracy. Hazelton is an old has-been coal mining town, I would know, I leave near it. The only reason why these illegals are migrating there is because its cheap. End of story. And trust me, Hazelton is not the only town with this problem in cen. PA...its just the only one that has a set to do anything about it! What complete rubish!! Is he blind?

$599,000 loan for only $1,927/mo. No social security number required.? I pasted this from Yahoo homepage...

I found this ad on Yahoo Homepage which is my homepage. I clicked on it and it connected me with a agent. I asked if Lending Tree was soliciting to illegal immigrants by advertising that no social security number was required and she disconnected me. Sheesh I was just wondering!

Can terrorists get loans without social security numbers.. She didn't let me ask!

we all know that illegal immagration will never end because when there's a will there's a way....but I don't understand why Mexico is the only country being targeted. It seems like Terrorist, crazy nuts, or anyone,... can come in through Canada. Why give them that chance? Doesn't that seem like the government is being more racist rather than protective?
