You guys have no heart if you would actually send your parents back to mexico because they live illegally. And what if they have to live a broken down house with no roof.

Most of the Mexicans do go back to Mexico. It's just when they have what they came for, rather than before they get it. Second, we cannot support Mexico, so we have to close the border. Third, 100,000 of them are convicted felons. Fourth, they couldn't be my "love relatives" (?) because I am legal. So, your comment is false.

If they were here illegally, I would.

If they don't like that their country is so poor, then they need to do something to fix it. Running away from the "problem" fixes nothing. I mean really, if you list out the richest countries in the world, Mexico is right up there (if you would like to address them specifically).

See, there is this image that in the US money just rolls in and you don't need to work at all. You know - the roads are paved with gold. So they come over here thinking that they will become "rich", and all they do is fall into the same cycle they had in the country they ran from.

If you look, the majority of the people that "flee" mexico actually make a living in their country. They, like all other humans, want more. Very few are the "poor people that are barely surviving". I will admit, there are some, but most just want "something more". All that anyone is asking is they do it legally. I don't think that is too much to ask.

It has nothing to do with money. It has to do with people that knowingly break laws and then think that they should not be punished.

Good parents do not allow their children to do wrong and not be punished. Why do those that break the law think that we should do such and that they should have others pick up the bill for their food, medical, and schooling of their children?

Trust me, there are people living in the United States in homes with broken roofs and conditions that is worse than many have their pets living in. To suggest that because such is in Mexico or any other country means that the citizens of the United States should not enforce the laws of this country and subsidize those that break the laws of this country is something that is not even done within the countries of the illegals that are here within the United States would allow.

Your question makes me wonder if you even know the immigration laws of Mexico and their approach to their own southern border.

yes. with no hesitation....or should we keep in mind that such as
vincente fox , president of mexico, did, for a time, make availabe 'survival packets', which included bottled water, and various assundry items of survival as the illegal immigrant found the way across the border (nevermind that those who had saved the price to pay them, that 'coyotes' were leaving folks stranded in a desert land with nothing, and worse...dying...) this while fox was speaking with our own (illustrious) president bush about making the borders more... secure.... (secure borders? what about the other 'foreigners'...hmmmm....) all the while the talks were really about how we, America, could open the borders wider. it didn't seem relevant at that point to see how the border states were in a quadmire of beauocracy and illegals...
where were we going to send the certified felons/illegals? back so they could come over again....and again?
i do not believe the illegals are taking jobs away from American citizens. that's political crap. it has been proved that when such jobs are posted for the public to see, American citizens do respond. it is in cases that that illegals are too welcome to take jobs that pay less than minimum wage or the accepted rate for the job (often less than that minimum), when the balance shifts. the companies that hire illegals are breaking the law; laws that are so very difficult to enforce. the propaganda says that the American's do not want the jobs. that is not really true. yes, the American government has, in too many cases, made it easy for the person to say 'no' to jobs with the assundry benefits it allocates. even so, it has made it too easy for employers to hire illegals. the fault lies in the regulations. look at the statistics; they tell the story.
my Mother has a wonderful Mexican man that does her yard. he has 4 or 5 illegals working for him; a crew, and they have several yards/streets around here. i do not fault them; you already have an idea of how i think on this so it won't surprise you that i have asked and believe that they are working toward citizenship. the key work being WORKING toward the goal of citizenship. we have made it known to them that should they need assistance or a sponsor toward that goal, that we would be happy to comply. we know that they are hardworking, reliable and seem completely dedicated to their goals. how many others can produce a patr'on that would do so? honestly? perhaps that could be some assistance to others?
don't get me wrong: it isn't mexicans that i resent; and i do not think 'resent' is the right word. i strongly dislike people, and i do not care where they come from, coming into Texas acting as if they own the place. acting as if 'spanglish' is the native languate, refusing to speak english, or encouraging their children go speak it. no, there may not be a hoard of them, yet, but judging from the banners and flags earlier this year in california, arizona, new mexico AND Texas, and from some of the rhetoric spoken, it may not be too long until they may want us to remind them that "we (Texas) done won that war once alredy."..........no offense intended.....
and if you're still with me: why, i beseech you, to tell me, doesn't the power party in Mexico share their wealth among it's people? there is so much. so very much that the people never see. have we not seen this so many times? marcos? the shah of iran? geez! even saddam! how many dictator-types must we go through? and it comes down to some level that while the rulers rule, the people pay. always.
and, somehow, it ends up that it is you and i asking...:'WHAT THE F..............' and it goes on, doesn't it?

Mexicans send poor immigrants back to their own countries all the time. Better take a closer look at Mexican immigration law. See how Mexicans treat people who cross THEIR border illegally. It ain't pretty.

My mother and father would never commit this type of illegal act, or the additional acts performed by illegals once they arrive, like fraud (social security), driving without a lisence, driving without insurance, failing to pay taxes, or draining the resources of our schools, hospitals, and roads.

So yeah, like the Mexicans, I'd have no problem deporting an illegal alien under any condition.

Yes, it is not like they we are sending them back to the mid-east!
When they get home they can apply like everyone else and wait their turn. In the mean time you can write or whatever. If there is no
consequence for people comeing here illegally like in other countries
than the problem will never be resolved will it? We need to secure our borders and know who is entering and in our country. Did you
ever hear of 911? Oh, as far as the roof goes. Who is going to fix
mine? It has a leak. Any offers?

Mexico is not poor..it is corrupt...and the more people that leave the higher the percentage of corrupt people there is in Mexico...That thing you asked about relatives...well...That, and that a legal American with ties to a Latin nation are the only real reasons that any one in their right mind would condone illegal behavior or want those who committed an illegal act to benefit from it.

I'm sure if they were rich, no matter which country they were from, they would come here legally. It's mostly the lowlifes crossing our Southern border.

My father was a legal immigrant, my wife is a legal immigrant. Why would I even consider breaking the law and disrespecting my country and what my family has gone through to aid in an illegal act like that?

Let me clarify that i am not prejudice in fact one of my best friends is Mexican. (He has told me things about Mex)

1st of Mexico is far from poor. They come here work ILLEGALLY and send the money back to there family knowing it is worth more there, and not bc they are poor.

2ndly if you break the law there and you are not a Mexican citizen then your punishment is much worse.

3rdly the illegals are getting more financial help than the citizens and that's just not right!

There is nothing wrong w/ try to make a better living, just do it the right way...the the law is the law!

No. Those people are obviously escaping something pretty terrible to risk death trying to get in this country illegally. There's a better way to solve the over crowding. I say let the ones that have been here stay legally. Prosecute employers who hire illegals. Make it harder for them to work and make a living, and voila, the U.S. isn't as appealing. Oh and guest workers don't work. Pay U.S. citizen wages, not the garbage that employers pay by using Mexican's as cheap labor. See, now we get into the human rights of the thing...
