Aside from their broader impact on society as a whole, i.e. taking potential jobs away from legal citizens, not having to pay taxes, etc.

the only way to get papers in america is to either get married to an american or work until u reach hell. don't u think if the government made more choices for those people that believe in the land of oppurtunity their wouldn't be so many illegal immigrants. they only come here to live a good life instead of living poor. america is supposed to be "land of oppurtunity"

From the current edition of the online magazine "La Voz de Aztlan" which comes out of Los Angeles and is written for illegal aliens in California.

Whites threaten "Race War" against
Mexican-Americans and other Latinos (headline)

Whites threaten "Race War" against
Mexican-Americans and other Latinos

There has been increasing talk of a "Race War" against Mexican-Americans and other Latinos on White hate web sites and on discussion forums run by mainstream news services.

Commentaries of an impending race war are not just being articulated by White supremacist crazies through anonymous postings on Internet forums but have also been insinuated by the likes of former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, who warned of a war with Mexico, and more recently by former candidate for US President Patrick Buchanan in his book "The Death of the West".

In a July 15, 2007 article, we reported on how an online forum sponsored by Time Warner's American Online (AOL) was being utilized to urge Whites to arm themselves and "kill the beaners". One posting said, "If You Are Not Armed Now You better get that way fast."

Most disturbing is that these sort of discussions are now taking place on forums sponsored by mainstream news services such as the Orange County Register newspaper in California and on many others. On July 28 in the Daily Sentinel of Colorado the following statement was published: "This kind of thing is happening all over the country. The unwelcome invading parasites who shouldn't even be here have declared open season on Whites. It's an escalating race war against Whites, but most Whites don't realize what's happening yet. God help the invaders when Whites are cornered and finally forced to fight back. There will be a huge race war in the USA. Count on it. Be prepared."

What do these disturbing and frightening commentaries signify for the Mexican-American and Latino communities? Many of us here in Southern California have not forgotten that horrific day of July 18, 1984 when an anti-Mexican racist massacred 22, mostly women and children, at a McDonald's Restaurant in San Ysidro, California. On that day a racist killer named James Oliver Huberty put on military style clothing and told his wife he was going hunting for Mexicans. James Oliver Huberty is today revered by many Minutemen vigilantes as the "father" of their movement. In today's anti-Mexican environment these types of incidents can rapidly escalate.

What are we to do? We must begin implementing community defense strategies. Last night, Augustin Aguayo, the courageous US soldier who refused to kill Iraqi civilians, spoke on "La Causa" program of KPFK radio in Los Angeles. He said that the reason he became a "Conscientious Objector" and refused to return to Iraq was that he became aware of the racist nature of the war against the Iraqi people. We also remember Andres Raya, the decorated US Marine who decided to bring "Fallujah" back to his hometown of Ceres, California. We need to tap into military trained veterans, that number in the tens of thousands just in California, to provide a defense of our communities just in case the White crazies decide to do something foolish.

There are 12-20 million undocumented living in this country. Something needs to be done to assure that we know who is here and what they are doing. Both sides have valid points, but, for seemingly different reasons.

I understand the impact of having this many people here with a completely foreign culture & customs can have on our society socially, and, the economic impact that we are being faced with- especially if the rate of growth increases with the undocumented. These are all concerns.

However, when I read the posts by "pros" they are typically more related to emotion- the plight of the immigrants, their intentions, their work habits, the condition of their old country, etc. These are all, obviously, emotions.

Is this an issue where your position is simply decided by which rules- your head or your heart?

America is a country made up of immigrants. Generations ago this country belonged to Native Americans. After that many migrants travelled here for a better life, therefore meaning American is entirely made up of immigrants. American culture is a mix of other cultures. So, why are Americans against immigration? They took the country away from the Natives and are trying to put a stop to immigration? Before you speak out against it, think about where you, your father, or grandfather came from, what kind of harsh obstacles they faced immigrating to a new land and how they were treated. And before you speak out against Mexico's illegal immigrant problems think twice about how hardworking these immigrants are, they're not sitting on their obese a*ses, but are contributing as best as they can. Got an argument? go ahead and tell me how you feel after reading this.

i know that many of u are complaining that illegal immigrants are not paying 4 taxes.but maybe ur not looking at the other side. everytime u pay ur taxes the goverment has to give u money back.according to how the statistics are turning out the goverment would be giving back millions and millions back to people (immigrants) who pay there taxes every year. 4 u people who say that immigrants are not willing to file the papers to do taxes, u got it all wrong. my father has been filing tax papers to pay taxes 4 the past 12 years .luckly me and my 2 brothers are citizens,so the goverment would owes us back thousands of $. if u say we filled the form wrong. then again u got it all wrong .every time that we go fll out the form we go with a certified notary.and every time the goverment makes up a crappy excuse 4 denying us the #. every time they tell us that the birth place is wrong. blah blah blah. the reason y i posted this is because i wanted an opinion.so the lines r now open.u have 3 days

A Mexican family, 2 parents and 2 children, fled their country illegally to escape poverty and danger from their government.
The family successfully managed to reside in the U.S. for 15yrs, the father working odd construction jobs to make ends meet. The oldest child, graduated high school and is preparing for college. A letter from the schools financial aid office informs him that his social security number is not valid. Though aware that he and his family are from Mexico he is oblivious to the fact that he is an illegal immigrant. His parents kept the border jumping a secret. When he tells his parents about the financial aid letter, they tell him the truth. And explain to him how he might be jeopardizing the family.

What would you do?

DENVER (KWGN) — U.S. District in Denver heard arguments from a federal government attorney today, who asked the court to throw out a State of Colorado lawsuit against the federal government. The State of Colorado is suing the federal government for not meeting its constitution obligation to protect states from invasion.The lawsuit was approved by Colorado voters who passed Referendum K last November. Referendum K gave the state permission to sue the federal government to enforce immigration law. It passed with 56% voter approval. Six other states have tried similar lawsuits and six times the lawsuit was thrown out of federal court. But Colorado's District Attorney's office said it is taking a different tack.http://cw2.trb.com/news/kwgn-state-sues-feds,0,6071773.story?coll=kwgn-home-2

In 1995, the Texas Governor's [yes, as in George W. Bush] press secretary, Karen Hughes, issued a statement regarding Bush's support of a legal appeal by Texas Attorney General Dan Morales [Texas v. United States, B-94-228 (S.D. Texas 1995) 95-40721 (5th Cir.) (pdf file)], to recover $1.34 billion spent by his state on the incarceration and education of illegal immigrants. Karen Hughes wasn't speaking without authority. In 1995, when Gov. Bush was suing the United States' Government for $5 billion, he said:"If the federal government cannot do its job of enforcing the borders, then it owes the states monies to pay for its failure."

That's right, when George W. Bush was Governor of the State of Texas, he sued the federal government for reimbursement of the costs of incarcerating illegal aliens, yet there are millions more illegal aliens in the United States now than when Bill Clinton was president.And when campaigning for president in 1999, George W. Bush issued this statement:
[Federal expenditures would be more effective] "...at the front end, to stop people from illegally entering our country, not at the back end, by reimbursing states after it has failed to enforce the border." [I] "would allocate additional resources to enforcing the border, so states such as Texas and California would not have the huge expenses they currently do." (San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 9, 1999)
