Have you changed your opinion about amnesty (either for or against) within the last year?

If so, what WAS your opinion and what changed your mind?

This is out of ordinary for my Q&A, but here I go.
As a kid I worked at local farmers helping in the crops growing melons and grain. Well, over the weekend I took a neighbor's kid and two of his pals around to some of the same farms I worked at. We was trying to find a part time job for them next season.
I would say we visited over a dozen farms and with each stop we was turned away disappointed. In the car, I heard one of the kids say in a low voice "damn wet backs". As much as I wanted to scold him, all I could do is think so myself was the same thing but with a few stronger choice words.
I look around and what I would once call a normal community of Americans, is now a quickly growing into a Mexican community. Where are are the long time locals going? Why are they moving and putting their property up for sale?
What is coming of the US and our Values? What about the American Pride?
The real question here is: WHAT ABOUT OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE?

Ok, so here's the deal... If you need the explanations they're all around you...

1) She speaks spanish... she speaks spanish perfectly... what is she like...5? Her backpack even speaks spanish perfectly!

2) That backpack of hers has EVERYTHING in it! And we're talking everything! Life support, water/food, clothing for any weather, ropes, grappling hooks, shoes.... i mean c'mon!

3) She's carrying a freaking ZOO with her! I mean, she has a monkey, an band of insects, a bajillion other animals! Really! What kind of legal immigrant has that many pets!?

4) She's always on an "adventure" to transport a "package" to some destination and is always being stalked by a person trying to take that package... i mean... really, Swiper is so obviously some sort of border patrol person trying to collect evidence of Dora's entire narcotics trafficking buisness

The evidence is so obvious and around you guys! And they're even poisoning our little children with them... Who wants our toddlers to grow up knowing spanish before english?! Even if it's the USA...

If not, is there any other way to determine their citizenship status short of asking them directly?

Why don't we trade one American on welfare that can work but won't, for two Mexicans that will? That would solve two problems at once.

Why wasn't this story reported in the LA times, LA weekly, or the LA daily news ?

Do you all agree this is a huge story?

WELFARE COSTS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN LA COUNTY OVER $35 MILLION IN JULY

Total Annual Cost of Illegals on Taxpayers Exceeds $1 Billion

LOS ANGELES COUNTY -- A new report shows illegal aliens and their families in Los Angeles County collected over $35 million in welfare and food stamp allocations in July, announced Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.

Illegals collected nearly $20 million in welfare assistance for July, 2007 and an additional $15 million in monthly food stamp allocations for an estimated annual cost of $440 million.
“Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” said Antonovich. “In addition to $220 million for public safety and $400 million for healthcare, the $440 million in welfare allocations bring the total cost to County taxpayers that exceeds $1 billion

Dad and I were talking earlier today and he brought up a point that I didnt know what to say...He said America should build a 10 foot high wall on the border and line it with snipers to keep the Mexicans from crossing the border. What are your views on this, personally I had a problem with the snipers but I think the wall is a pretty good idea.

I would love to know the basis of all these hateful things said about illegals and mexicans. The companies who hire illegals need to be discussed, instead of throwing slander at people trying to make a wage. Social Security gathered by our government by illegals will never be returned. They work for less money; allowing homes to be built at less cost, families to have care for children and elderly, etc. Economy gains more than loses from the illegal immigrants, and our government knows that. I would love to know where these facts come from, but with each smart comment made on behalf of anti-illegal immigration there are 10 hateful and ignorant ones. Please don't call me unpatriotic, because it is such a cop-out. Thinking outside the box could due some people good. Before people come to conclusions... no, I don't believe every illegal should get amnesty, and I'm not some bleeding heart leftist, communist, etc. I just call to question what people think they know.

Since billions of tax payers money is being wasted on illegal aliens why don't we come up with a solution where that money will actually do some good with real results?

I was thinking of putting a electronic bracelet on illegals caught or a chip to be implanted. When they try to cross over again, we would find out immediately where they are..preventing them from coming here. Or how about that plan they did in the movie coneheads?

Europians tell me that Continents are divided by geography, not politics. Only the US considers 7 continents with Europe daying there are 5.

Why does the US, again, go against the grain of the rest of the world?

Racism? We are ALL Americans, not just the US. In fact... they are more American then we are, at least in their thinking.

Consider: EEUU v. Honduras, Central America.

Look at how many Rednecks got upset over the question. I find it kinda sad Mexican children don't have a better public school option in America. I mean really, it seems the undocumented workers should get a better education for their children after all they have dne for the America.

I don't want my tax money to go to paying for them. To the ridiculous argument that no one would do the work - I say how about all of the inmates? Why not put them out there and make them work to earn their keep? Let them dig ditches and pick fruit - it doesn't bother my sensibilities at all.

I have been reading the many opinions about illegal immigrants, and immigration in general. It is obviously a subject that Americans are very passionate about, no matter what side they are on. I personally feel there should be punishment as well as compromise, a tighter border as well as a reform for those that are already here, but my opinion is besides the point. Some of the people on here are not only against illegal immigration, but seem to be against each specific immigrant, in a very disturbing and hateful way. This makes me wonder if you have been victimized in some way by an illegal alien. Please tell me specifically what injustice you, (specifically you) have suffered at the hands of an illegal alien. Please don’t use the argument that they don’t pay taxes, or they receive welfare because I am looking for personal experiences. Also, if you have been violated in some way by an illegal immigrant, have you ever been violated in the same way by an American Citizen - or is it possible to be violated the same way by an American Citizen? Trying to find a reason for the madness
