The truth is if there's so many illegals here, it's because your goverment wants them here, they know the US economy will suffer greatly without them. It would be soooo easy to round all of them up and send them back to their native countries (not just Mexico, there's illegals from all over the world) I mean, have you seen the fake IDs and SS cards they use? I see them everyday @ work, and they are so easy to spot. Also, the gov doesn't seal the borders because not only do they need all the illegals, they also need all the drug money that comes in, what would happen with out the cheap labor of illegals and all that drug money?? The economy would collapse, and the Gov knows it!!! Why is it so hard to understand this and so hard to accept?? The US would be nothing without immigrants, illegal or not, I bet you didn't complain when your house was built so cheap, and when your office and house are cleaned for about $ 5 per hour. Accept that you are wrong and stop complaining!!

Crime has nothing to do with being illegal or not, you can commit a crime if you're white, mexican, chinese or whatever, legal or illegal.

well,thats what I've been trying to get across.But some ppl don't understand basic english.The only defense they have is that illegals brake the law,don't pay taxes,and commit crimes.1)Americans break the law too,so should we send them back to whatever country they originated from?Or would it be easier to pay a fine?So why can't illegals pay the fines for entering illegally?It's not like they killed someone coming here.2)Every job that pays by checks take out taxes.No matter what kind of SS# you give them,taxes will be taken out.AND,there are tax ID#s now.And if a company doesn't take taxes out on their employees,its not the workers fault--it's the employers.3)Every race has ppl that commit crimes.And if a persons biggest crime is entering here illegally,then I think thats pretty good considering all the american drug dealers,pedophiles,rapists,etc. that are living here now.
I hope you realize you're not the only one who thinks as you do.Good Luck!

Let me ask you a question little ms. know-it-all:
If you went to another country without a passport or documentation that you were legally there, do you think for one second that they would let you stay??????????????
They would deport your happy little butt back when you got off the plane. Now, why are Americans so horrible that we are sending people back, because they are here and breaking the law
You need to wake up. The reason we do not want the ILLEGAL ALIENS here is because they take precious money out of the system that could be used for the people who are legally here, immigrant or not. If the Illegals are not criminals then they wouldn't be here, because HELLO "ILLEGAL" is "ILLEGAL" you just don't get it. The Illegal immigrants are already breaking the law and when the jump the border and come to this country without any of the proper paperwork they are committing a crime and all us tax payers (I assume that you work and pay taxes) have to support them until they find work, and if they have children born in America while they are here, we have to support them too. Let the Mexican Government take care of the Mexican Citizens for once, and leave us alone.

That's how you can tell we are American, apparently you are a citizen and not an American, their is a big difference, a lot of Mexicans think the same way you do, come here get what they can, live here reap the benefits of citizenship, but not be an American, your heart belongs to Mexico? then you need to move to Mexico,The government would not collapse if the illegals were sent back, your just listening to propaganda that would keep them here. And I live in San Diego and the houses here start at 600 thousand and that is for an average home, the Mexicans that work for less money do not bring down housing prices, the companies just pocket the extra money they save stupid. And you say ( your government ) if you live here it's your government also, ho I forgot your a citizen but not an American. I and I have a right to complain about the invasion of my country, and if you don't like it get the hell out, and get off this forum.

We don't have to quit complain.We have the legal right to complain about injustices in this country and the illegals breaking the law. Anyone here illegally is breaking the Law and should be deported. And to answer our question, yes I have seen many of the fake IDs and SS cards that are being used among other things. Just because some people haven't seen them doesn't mean they aren't there. Can you see the air? Can you see gravity? Illegals are a cancer in America and they need to be cut out and tossed away. The economy will go along fine without them. Don't pull these economy crap or the racist thins either. This is about sticking up for what is right and for the laws. If you don't like it then leave the country! All illegals, regardless of where they are from, need to be ousted. And as for being wrong, nope you are. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND WE CAN COMPLAIN IF WE WANT. WE DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF LOW LIFE CRIMINALS BREAKING THE LAW TO BE HERE. And this country would too be something without them. How many of them fought in the wars? How many of them contributed to what makes this country great! None of them have done the right thing. They have broken into our country and are leeching off our resources. And incidently, I am part Native American (1/4 Sioux) so get of your high and mighty self-righteous pity act.

Sorry the economy would be better. There has been a great strain on Government programs--that is a fact. You can bury your head and deny it but that would make you a liar.
That money takes from other programs--disability, SS and medical. It hurts the poor and sick and elderly. Rather you face that or not. Because of the strain-these helpless do not get a fair cost of living wage and other benefits were cut.
No tax on the new people would cover the cost it cost to support the percentage that will still need help.
You are wrong. Face the facts and work from there would be the honest way to go about finding solutions.
Everyone understands why the people come. Few want to accept because of their love for the people what is causing problems and work from there.

The economy would not collapse. Generally speaking they are suggest to depress wages by 200 billion, ie they roughly get paid a 2/3 what an average person works on. Primarily all that profit goes to the owner (and doesn't benefit the consumer), since no market is concentrated with illegals the owners are not compelled to relief prices. It's nothing more than slave economics, and even after slavery the south was far more productive....so you're living in a dream world.
Not all illegals work, about 3-4 million are children whom go to. school. You're talking about a very small piece of the pie, hardly something to depend on.
By the way my house was built in the 70's, by italians americans; and it's price is far more influenced by zoning laws/permits and demand than by labor.
You're wrong because you have to absolutely ignore the infrastructure which pays far more for uneducated illegals that it gets back. Address the medical, energy, water, schooling, jails, etc. Many of which are paying dearly because of illegals.

Lily, It's a big issue and it's going to get resolved. The U.S. House of Representatives will not pass an "amnesty" bill because they know they won't get reelected if they do. US Sentators are starting to get the message, too.
Get over being annoyed by this issue, as this is one issue that will not go away.
The public has awakened to the cost of illegal immigrants in the US because the country is being inundated by one particular (illegal) type of immigrant. Many are criminals--check the facts. Others come here only to give birth ("anchor babies") and to take advantage of our system. The US welcomes people from all over the world--through legal immigration, of course. That means people who want to learn English, stay here forever, invest in our country (not just sending $$ home to Mexico) with their lives and be American. Legal immigrants who came here legally (Ellis Island, for example) from all over the world were checked for disease, registered, provided all kinds of infomation before coming here. Unlike illegals, who just jump the border and ignore every law ever written by the US., which they disrespect!
The American people are most gracious when others follow the rule of law. If you look at the facts, you'll see that the illegals are costing the US money! The jig is up, Lily. When will the illegals go home and make their own country great? www.fairus.org

You are clueless. My house wasn't cheap and neither is landscaping I get done. Alot of the illegals make good money (some are paid little I'm sure).
There is no way we could deport 11MM illegal aliens. Get a clue.
Yes, the economy would suffer a bit if they did go away because we would have a labor shortage.
But-- Illegal IS illegal. They came here w/out following the law. So I have no sympathy-- The reason they come? Mexico sucks when it comes to jobs and pay for their own people. I love Mexico but its a mess. They wouldn't be coming here in droves if there weren't opportunity here.
If you're legal, you should complain too. These people jump the line to get in the country and reap benefits they are not legally entitlled to. That increases our social costs (e.g. taxes).
Don't make this a race or ethnic issue-- its not--

You're tired of it? And we're tired of them, so we're even. There are those in the gov't that want them, we already know this. But the gov't has to worry about getting re-elected, so they'd better listen to the AMERICAN CITIZENS. You miss the entire point, it's not about immigration, it's about following our LAWS....until you become citizens, you deserve NOTHING! Why is this so hard for you to understand and to accept?
You believe it would be EASY to round up some 11 ~ 20 MILLION illegals? You're cracked. And our economy would collapse? You obvioulsy have never taken an economics class, dear. Our economy would be JUST fine.
Oh, and my house was built in '53, by American labor, thank you very much.
ATTENTION EVERYONE: Check this out! It appears that Mexican Lily's "husband" is a drug addict...who's surprised?

In America we all have The right of Free speech and our own opinions. Just so you know the reason I want change is because my taxes pay for their medical and dental as well as Social Security. I can barely afford my own medicine and doctors visit and do not qualify for aid but they all do and get better care than me. I am asking for equality! I have no problem with immigrants but object to the ways they are given things that me and my family are not. I am a 5th generation American and my ancestors were on the Mayflower...whoopie...we worked very hard to build this country and reap the rewards. Illegal immigrants have not. There is more to this story you are not apparently aware of. Like bringing their parents over and having them care for the kids while they work seems innocent, but they are paying into Social Security for 10 years then they send them back to their country and they draw and SS checks and live like Kings and Queens! That is not OK with me. That money should stay here. I could go on and on but there is a limit. Yes, they work the fields and in some places they build homes and clean houses, I did that too when I was younger. I also paid taxes and into Social Security and retirement. I had to plan to take care of me, not have the govt. take care of me.

Get a life. You are obviously completely ignorant of economics, or else you would not male such foolish claims. You show me some empirical evidence this economy would collapse, or even make the prices rise.... I won't hold my breathe for it. Oh yeah since you are obviously an ignorant person I'll give you the definition of empirical:
em·pir·i·cal Pronunciation Key (m-pîr-kl)
adj.
1.
1. Relying on or derived from observation or experiment: empirical results that supported the hypothesis.
2. Verifiable or provable by means of observation or experiment: empirical laws.
I honestly don't know how people like you can manage to breathe without being reminded to do so.....
I am waiting for a response to my answer, which is not dumb. I have a feeling I will be waiting for a VERY long time. Any time an illegal supporter is asked for facts and evidence to support their outlandish claims, all you hear is crickets chirping. Or they throw out the race card.....
