Immigration: Will the flood of ILLEGAL Mexican Immigrants create a better America or will they turn us into a?

Question

craphole like Mexico?

Answer 1

Water seeks its' own level, so do national poverty statistics. If, hypothetically, the United States and Mexico were to combine, 2 countries into one, the resulting population would have 110 million new people, for a total of 410 million, and the unemployment rate would jump to 1 in 4 almost overnight.
Then, we'd have to borrow about 4 trillion more dollars just to provide fresh drinking water for all concerned, and then another 4 trillion for the roads, and another 4 trillion for jails, hospitals, and schools, in other words it'd be a larger, more populous Argentina in no time, bankrupt, crime-ridden, and a soft and easy target for subversives and ne'er-do-wells. I'm not voting to annex Mexico, are you? And, if we're not going to annex Mexico, then it only makes sense to reinforce our mutual border with Mexico, a tangible barrier that'll help BOTH our countries re-discover their independence.

Answer 2

Its interesting you call Mexico a crap hole, since the Spanish came there and took it from the Aztecs, Mexico was one of the most beautiful places in the world. The European stole it from the Aztec's, they destroyed and trashed the place. The Aztec's were environmentalists and they preserved the land. They were an advance and peaceful civilization. Ever consider that the Europeans were the ones who turned it into a 'crap hole'?
Read your history and get educated.

If this country made it easier for illegals, instead of breaking the law and sneaking in, to gain residency and required they learn English and assimilate into the culture, the answer is, no.....

But if the govt. continues to allow the flood of illegals and does nothing but look the other way, then yes it will become more like Mexico.

Illegals are not the only ones responsible for the influx, employers and this govt. bare equal responsibility....

If a govt. doesn't enforce its laws, either change the law or enforce it. How do you expect people to obey laws when the govt. won't enforce them?

Answer 3

When I was a public school teacher 10+ years ago, many school districts in Southern California were having real trouble with illegal immigrants. The increased enrollment was out of control, meaning the quick hiring of new teachers, and temporary classrooms with substandard electricity and air conditioning.

Schools have had to change their calendars to year-round schooling to avoid expensive re-building costs. And we haven't discussed the students themselves.

Immigrant students from Mexico and Central America are different than those from Asia and Europe. Although they are hard-working, many have never been to school, even though they may be in their teens. This is a disaster for a school, as older children have a harder time adjusting to school than 4-5 year olds. They also speak little to no English, and in many areas, have no motivation to learn English. That means more extra money for bilingual teachers and staff, and extra classes. That takes money away from the other kids.

Their families also don't understand the value of education in the US, guaranteeing that, apart from the occasional heartwarming story, a high percentage of the kids will drop out, work in low-level, low paying jobs.

In some areas, entire schools are now like this.

Answer 4

Craphole for sure. I feel that wher need to stop the illegals from coming into our country. They cost the Americans our jobs. Govt. says that the Mexicans only take the jobds that Americans don't want. That's BS. Companies hire them because they will work cheaply. Also if a pregant mother has a child her the baby is a US citizen, and the birth is free for them. Not fair to us tax payors.What is wrong with the Pres. Bush? This USA not Mex.
Even all products sold here have both english and spanish wrtitten on them. Who do you think pays extra for that?

Answer 5

As far as them turning our entire country into a craphole, I really can't say... However, their drain on our already strained economy isn't helping much. IE: free education, free school lunches, free medical, welfare cash benefits, food stamps, subsidized housing, subsidized utility help, driving on public streets & highways in unregistered cars w/o insurance, etc.

What I have seen so far is that the areas of cities that they do manage to inhabit as a majority (meaning that area is primarily Mexican immigrant/illegals) the property values were drastically reduced due to building, streets, houses, etc being torn up & vandalized. IE: graffiti, garbage being thrown to the ground, light/utility poles being torn up, broken down cars left on the sides of streets, etc.

A lot of Mexico is like this, especially in the poorer neighborhoods. It's something that is tolerated & ignored there. They come here & I guess they assume that it must be okay here, too, since that is all they know.

There's a whole lot more to this whole illegal immigration issue that I can't/will not get into, but that's the gist of it on how their occupation in neighborhoods brings down the property values & esthetics.

Answer 6

California is reporting that there is a 20% reduction in the available labor this year, due largely to the steps to stem illegal immigration. Many crops will go unharvested and the farmers are losing a lot of money.

I'm not pointing this out to defend illegal immigration but only to suggest that such workers are needed in parts of the country so an agreement should be made that works for both parties.

Answer 7

I'm not sure they're illegal. According to us they're. However, if we read CAFTA OR NAFTA we may find ambiguous language which allowed these people here. This is a perfect law for employers to use to break the union leadership. If we read history we can see that Andrew Carnegie hired Pinkerton to prevent you and me from requesting equality. This happened in China in 1989. We need to realize who stands to gain from this. Also, if we look back a few years and read the arguments between Jimmy Hoffa and Robert Kennedy we will be able I believe to understand the "truth." Americans continue to ask for more money. Do we not realize our labor has gotten easier? We must consider that employers invest profits in new machinery. Imagine if the Chinese had the tools today to build the railroads in America. Before we price ourselves out of work we have to understand why this is happening. Remember France, Spain, England, the Roman Empire, Etc have all been were we are right now in America. Wake up or we too will become a less important society... Thanks for your question.

Answer 8

first of all, mexico is not a craphole.
Also mexicans (wether Illegal or legal, or any immigrant), play an important role into american economy, they pay taxes (if legal), most importantly they are consumers, they spend money here, so the money remains in the society.
And most importantly, they have kind of jobs now, which most americans won't like to have, e.g: cleaning, landscaping, babysitting, these are just the few of other jobs they are doing now.
So i think they are contributing in building an better america, now I think governement should make all the illegal immigrants to make temp. permanent or do something, so that way they will also become the part of the society, and will contribute in paying taxes.

Answer 9

Craphole like Mexico. I don't have a problem with mexican's. Just the illegals! If it were up to me, I'd build a 20 foot fence along the border, top it with barbwire ans stakes, then bury landmines under it. Let see how many beaners get over here then!

Answer 10

well if you look at rome as a model, the only thing that can bring down america is america, so alot of illegals wont have a big effect on us. first kinda bad but then they will catch up to speed.


and mexico is not a craphole, and arent we already a craphole? hell, we cant even hold our own fair elections
