I suppose that would be the fact 90% of illegals are from Mexico. Every major bust or raid includes mainly people from Mexico who are being deported. Mainly people from Mexico have made it no secert they are indeed here. From schools being over crowed to social services being drained.Mexico is costing the U.S.A. billions of dollars there may be cheap labor when you figure in everything assorted with immigration ,Mexico labor it's not so cheap after all.

First off you know they are working hard at eliminating the word "illegal" in that discussion. Some will go so far as to label you a racist for mentioning the word illegal. Second the vast majority of illegal immigrants are hispanics which is why the belief that is all you are talking about - even though its not.
No its not OK to break the law because you are poor. I own my own business, struggle against a giant company that keeps opening more and more stores and will probably put me out of business. I make less then $30k a year and pay little taxes; and to some I'm poor - should I just avoid paying the taxes I'm responsible for and ask for amnesty? I don't think its going to work - do you?

They also assume that you mean all immigrants and not just the illegal ones. It is a way to make anti-illegal immigration supporters appear to be racist hate mongers. Which for the most part is not even close to being true. I suggest we enforce immigration laws and that includes the deportation of illegal immigrants. We would be better off to cancel NAFTA and force American companies operating in Mexico to pay a minimum of the federal minimum wage. Thus giving the Mexican a reason to stay in there own country and pushing up the Mexican economy.

Its A Guilt Complex
You Say "ILLEGAL ALIEN"
And The Mexican/Hispanic People Call You A Racist
WHY??
Because They Know That The MAJORITY (85-90 Percent)
Of ILLEGAL ALIENS Are Mexican/Hispanic
Their Defense Mechanism Kicks In
To Defend Lawlessness By Their Own People
Which Is RACIST In Itself

While it is a fact that the majority of illegals in the US are from Mexico,and no doubt they have created an enormous drain on our economy,and I feel that as a result of their children requirring more attention because of the language barrier and the over crowding of class rooms.Our children are being deprived of a quality education.Our gov.provides day care for the illegals,They work,and sure it's true many of them work for a much lower wage,but it is also a fact that many of them have higher paying jobs and still reap all the benifits of being illegal.Our own gov and big business are the ones to blame.Our gov encourages their staying here by making all the programs and resourses available to them,while a large portion of US citizens live below the poverty level. I know for "fact" In the state of WA. Large familys of illegals will arrive in The Yakima Valley.The Father will contract a farm job for the season"asparagus" vegtable and /or fruit harvesting.Say for instance He is hired to work the asparagus crop for that season "usually late March through June" The Boss provides housing for them located on the farm,The father doesn't recieve any money for the work until the end of the harvest. So,the wife goes to the local welfare office "which the majority of case workers are Hispanic" Since they have had no income for 3 months"because the farm contract is in the father's name only.And the wife has no idea when she might be able to work because she has so many children at home, she is not requirred to look for work. she is granted around 350.00 for herself with an additional 125.00 per child,per month.Plus Food stamps and medical coverage.Then because she recieves welfare she can get a reduction on her utilities cost per month.So we the tax PAYER SUPPORT THEIR EVERY NEED FOR THOSE 3 MONTHS OF THAT SEASON.At the end of asparagus harvest"which the whole family participated in" The father collects the pay for the crop,paid in cash!.depending on the size of the crop,I have seen some of them clear $15,000 dollars for that 3 month season.After they collect their money and the wife gets that last welfare check and food stamps they pack up their truck and go to the next harvest area.In the fall they will usually return to mexico and live off the earnings untill next March. Heck they've got it made,They have every reason to risk being here illegally!
Note: those dollar amounts are based on rates from 15 years ago.I'm sure with the cost of living going up "which they are largely responsible for"so has their amount of grant they recieve.
Keep in mind as with any wrong doing from one person to another,they can only do it as long as the other person allows it to happen!
If a law is changed or a crime is pardoned for any reason,why bother having the law? Why waste time passing a law?
My feelings are: if you do the crime,you do the time that is required by law to rectify their crime!
When I watch the news and see where a teen has committed a murder.I get so darned upset at a defense lawyer when they cry( the crime was committed by a teen) If that teen has the mind to commit murder,steal,assault another human or being cruel to an animal, they damned well know it is not right! And their punishment should be the same as it is for an adult.And those pitty parties constantly claiming this or that person was an abused child therefore they should be forgiven for the crime they commit.Bull crap.There are many adults that were abused as children and they do not go out and rape and kill as a result of it.! am sympathetic towards a person that has been so severely abused they are not capable of choosing right from wrong,there are mental hospitals for them.

That is EXACTLY what they are doing!!!!!!!! I rarely if EVER mention a nationality!! I say ILLEGALS,because that is exactly what they ARE!! It just happens,that the MAJORITY of illegals here,ARE hispanics from mexico!
Being "poor" is NO EXCUSE to break our laws,by sneaking into this country!! It is NO excuse for STEALING someone else's i.d.!!
Are we supposed to "forgive" every person in this country who has EVER committed a CRIME, just because they are "poor"?? Are we supposed to release every PRISONER,because they only "robbed the bank, because "their family was hungry"??
NO,NO,NO!!!!!!!!!!
We have these laws for a REASON!! If they are allowed to break ONE law and get off, then WHY obey other laws??!!!!!!!!!
to sandycruz" ONE law?? ILLEGALS break more than ONE law!!! They use STOLEN and FAKE i'd.'s to work here!!!! THAT is a FELONY!! And,"poor' or not,that does NOT give them the right to come here!!!!!!!!

Yes I have noticed that too, but it is mostly the illegals from Mexico that start in that and the racist nonsense. An illegal is still an illegal no matter where they come from and a criminal is still a criminal no matter what you call them.

No I don't. They love to assume you mean Hispanics, it is easier to make you look racist if you single out a single group.

No. Someone who steals money and is poor still pays for the crime.
