Immigration - November 2007

We know that blacks are discriminated against(some times they make it up for sympathy but it does happen a lot)
We know that Mexicans are as well( even those here legally)

But how come no one ever discriminates against the Canadians or the Germans or the Swedish and many other races that also are not really from here?
They are not Americans either but they are accepted no matter what with no questions asked.
Why???

As an employer, I don't think I would have any problems hiring illegal immigrants over legal citizens due to the cost savings. My only reservation would be getting caught and punished by the government, but I think the chances of that are low. Would you have any moral dilemmas hiring an Illegal?

and Bush did actually decide to stop policing the world and bring your troops back home to defend your borders and keep illegals out, how many of you would be willing to pick your own produce? Or pay much more for it because you will have to pay a fair wage? Or do you even eat veggies?

If God wanted a line in the sand would he not put it there. Americans belive there is a line along the northern section of Mexico and pretend it is a great sin if a Latino would decide to cross it .even though the land beyond it rightfully belongs to Mexico . but that is another story.

should americans be more concerned with the people that are illegal in Gods eyes. such as gays who do not live like the bible says or jews that are responsable for killing jesus or the minute men who kill people ?

I admit I'm ignorant on the subject and would like to be enlightened.

After reading all the answers posted to a question about illegal immigrants, I was overwhelmed by the amount of these responses: "They should just come here legally."

Okay... so what exactly does that entail? How long of a process is that? Is it extremely difficult? Can anyone come into the United States?

So... how can someone legally enter the United States?

Suppose there was a family secret and it was that you found out your parents were illegally in the country. You never knew until you became an adult. What would you do? Would you want them to be deported?

People are so against Mexicans especially the illegal ones. Who would you rather to be in your country, an illegal Mexican, an illegal Canadian, or an illegal from the UK.

before any illegal immigrant can get the green card or resident he has to learn and talk fluent English, but this will only affect people under 50 yr old, because once you are older than 50 your mind isn't able to learn English or any other language.

the thing is that they haven't made this bill yet

do you have any good bills? put it on

An economist testified Wednesday in U.S. District Court that Tyson Foods depressed wages at eight plants by hiring undocumented workers.

“It seems Tyson pays lower wages than what other unskilled workers get in comparable labor markets,” said Dr. George Borjas, who compared wage data and produced a report for plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit filed against Tyson.

Defense lawyer Tom Green is asking Chief U.S. District Judge Curtis Collier to rule the report and Dr. Borjas’ testimony inadmissible at the trial, which is scheduled to begin March 3, 2008.

“The data is not reliable,” Mr. Green said. “It’s infected on many fronts.”

Mr. Green produced several papers written by Dr. Borjas, including a commentary published in the Wall Street Journal claiming an influx of immigrants to an area has a “weak but negative impact” on wages in a city.

Chicago-based attorney Howard Foster, who represents the former Tyson employees seeking damages for depressed wages, said Dr. Borjas estimated wages at eight Tyson plants saved the meat producer about $25 million from 1998 to 2006.

If the damage amount is allowed and plaintiff’s win the suit, Mr. Foster said it could cost Tyson Foods up to $75 million.

“If we win, (the damages) will automatically be tripled,” he said.

Mr. Green criticized Dr. Borjas’ methodology, which he said does not paint an accurate picture because wages are compared to statewide data rather than to wages in the areas immediately surrounding the Tyson plants in question.

BTW a boycott of Tyson Foods helps too...why put the prices up to pay for the lawsuits if nobody is buying Tyson anyway?

This is a very good letter to the editor. This woman made some good points. For some reason, people have difficulty structuring their arguments when arguing against supporting the currently proposed immigration revisions.
This lady made the argument pretty simple. NOT printed in the Orange County Paper...................
Newspapers simply won't publish letters to the editor which they either deem politically incorrect (read below) or which does not agree with the philosophy they're pushing on the public. This woman wrote a great letter to the editor that should have been published; but, with your help it will get published via cyberspace!

The only problem I have is that they don't pay taxes. Besides that is it a competition thing? Or a racism thing? or what? I mean they only take the crappy jobs like lawn care, restaraunts, construction. If people are loosing jobs in that field, don't they already have bigger problems?

If you are .... do you protest against NAFTA?

Studies have shown NAFTA has created a 70% increase in illegal immigration since implemented. Wouldn't that be a place to start to end illegal immigration?

Yet, we also see many articles where illegals have jobs in which an American could have been working in places that chose to hire illegals instead.

For instance:

Federal and local law enforcement agents raided several warehouses Wednesday at O'Hare International Airport and arrested 24 workers who were allegedly in the country illegally and using phony security badges for jobs on the tarmac, cargo areas and other restricted zones.

Federal immigration authorities arrested nine people linked to IFCO Systems and rounded up more than 1,000 illegal immigrants in multistate raids, federal law enforcement officials said.

250 people arrested in an October 23 federal immigration crackdown at 60 Wal-Mart stores in 21 states.

Nearly 40 illegal immigrants hired by contractors working on three military bases in Georgia, Virginia and Nevada were arrested over the last three days by ICE.

Federal authorities arrested 55 illegal immigrants yesterday at a construction site on Dulles

I, rightfully, was pulled over for expired tags and out of state plates, as i have been unable to afford them. Im not denying i was in the wrong, however, if I had a nickel for every sonora plate that expired in '05 or fake temp tag ive seen, id be a very rich woman.

So, if I had out of country expired tags, it would be okay, but out of state tags, thats a problem?

If laws dont apply to everyone how can they apply to anyone? Do i have a valid arguement?

Although the hispanic population will tell everyone how religous and catholic they are. They continue to do illegal things. Do they sit themselves in the front row of church and feel proud to do so?

Similar to what happened in the US civil war. If there are 11 million illegal immigrants (largely Mexican) in the US now and they are becoming increasingly militant, why don't they return to their country and use their numbers to make a change in their country?

How can they possibly compare their movement to the civil rights movement?

Although many illegals are demanding US citizenship, and to be given special consideration ahead of those who have applied legally, a marked number of Hispanics do not want it. But, they do demand the “same rights” as US citizens. Many Hispanic groups, including (but not limited to) MEChA, the Mexica Movement and LULAC, are supporting and working toward the re-conquest (“reconquista”) of the United States. These groups are, also, becoming increasingly militant.

There is lack of a strong middle class in Mexico which is why if you are rich there, it can be great. But if you are poor (as are most), you want a better life and will risk life and limb to get to a better country. But is it our obligation in the U.S. to give whoever comes to us illegally from Mexico, a better way of life when they broke our laws to get here? Why aren't we working more with Mexico to help them improve their own country so their people won't feel it necessary to break the laws to get here? Instead we focus on the individuals or the by-product of a troubled economy and government, versus treating the problem at it's source. Many Mexicans feel we should have no borders, that we are "all Americans" and the U.S. should just share it's bounty freely with it's neighbors. Do we have that obligation? We are so generous to the rest of the world but do we owe so much to Mexico as a neighbor, we take our own country down and disadvantage our own legal citizens?
