it's one thing to immigrate here, fine, welcome to america, but it's another that they work , pay no taxes into the same system that I pay into, and...expect same rights of govt. supported medical care, same protections afforded to tax payers, same use of tax payer roads and so on. If you live here, you pay into same system I do, or get out. and by the way, just in case you think that they earn money and spend it here, they send it back home to mexico, just look at every mexican store, they sell money orders is right on the windows. But, I am not against illegal immigrants, I just want them to become legal as soon as possible and respectthe country they are in and support it as we do.

First we have to decide how we feel about laws, rules and the legal system!
You drive over the speed limit?
Sometimes don't wear a seat belt?
Disconnect your smog devices?
Take a 10% charitable deduction on your income taxes because they don't check it, even though you don't do it?!
Smoke pot?
Take an office pen home from work.
Make phones calls on the work phone that isn't a pay phone?
I personally have no problems with illegal immigrants who come here, behave reasonably well, pay taxes, don't use the welfare system, don't pee in doorways, don't get drunk on the steps to the liqour store, don't fire off guns on New Year's day, don't assult you for wearing the wrong color baseball hat, don't live with 30 people in a one room apartment. Don't carry caged chickens on the bus. Don't sing the NAtional Anthem in any language other than English (hey, it you can't speak the words just hum or make a gutteral sound). Don't request bilingual eduction in our schools, without digging into their pockets and pay full price for it.
Beleive it or not, some illegal immigrants actually dont do those things and they are nice, friendly and cool. Sometimes more cool that natural born citizens!
IT's the others I don't want!
(And I woudn't mind shipping a few Natural Born WASPS to another country, either! Some of them deserve a one way ticket to El Salvidor!)

Tear down the boarder between the USA and Mexico and take over the country and made them another state added onto the U.S. .
This would cure the problem of illegal immigration and make the U.S.A. even bigger and stronger then it currently is. I think it would be a profitable idea. What do you think ?

there are so many different reasons someone comes to America but a legal way is the best....and if they do finally become Americans then they should at least be able to learn to speak English. I don't think if I went to another country that I wouldn't want to learn to speak that language......Oh Yeah I live in PA. the home of the Declaration of Independence

Texas - I work with some really nice illegals but I don't like that part of it - ILLEGAL. They should go thru the same process as the others if they want to work here. I think it is being disrespectful of this country to be here illegally.

Kentucky is over run as well. I don't like that they are allowed to live 100 to a house. I think if they were forced to follow the laws and live like the rest of us, they wouldn't bother coming here. It costs them nothing to live when they share it 100 ways, then they send all their money back to Mexico.
I wouldn't care if they came here without being sneaky.

As long as they go through the program to become legal immigrates, I could care less. They could live next door to me and I wouldn't mind.

key word is ILLEGAL....something's gotta be done to stop it. and i don't believe for a second that these illegals are only doing jobs that americans won't. if that's the case, who did these jobs 20,30,40+ years ago, before the mexicans came over en mass?

I think its real F***ed up.Wheather they come from mexico, cuba, wherever, alot of them come here to work and send money to their families.some do cause problems with the law but so do americans.Bush is worrying about guarding the border, he needs to worry about pulling our soldiers out of iraq, and worry about what the hell korea's doing.next thing u know, were going to get bombed,all thanks to our sorry president.Oh and whats funny is Bush's sis-n-law(gov. jeb bush wife) is from mexico, she was once illegal.Jeb brought her back to florida when he met her in mexico.
