The Truth Contact Public About Me


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, so I've heard so many people tell me that illegal immigrants are evil criminals who do nothing but steal and commit acts of violence. Well, I'm here to tell you not to believe any of that crap. The truth is, most illegal immigrants come to the united states in order to achieve a better life. Most of them live in poor families and cannot support themselves in Mexico, so they flee to the United States for help.

Most illegal immigrants are said to disrespect our laws and pay no mind to them whatsoever and that it can be seen in the way the come by the millions illegally into the United States. The truth of this is all they know is that America is a beautiful utopia in which they can achieve many things and earn money. They don't see how breaking the law can even compare with saving their family from poverty and possible death and starvation.

I'm not sure how many people reading this are religious, but for those that believe know that God gave the world to us as a present. Every inch of the land belongs to all of us and we all deserve rights to the world as it's the gift from God. No human has the right to tell another human that a chunk of the world is "theirs." I realize that some sort if boundary is definitely necessary, but our strict immigration laws make it extremely difficult and time-consuming for an immigrant to come in legally. Know that these people are desperate and need saving soon. If you were a desperate Mexican living in a poor neighborhood with a poor family to support it would seem a lot better to just cross into the United States than go through the wait and effort to get into the United States.

I hear so many Americans now days talk about how illegal immigrants need to "get off their land" because it is theirs and they deserve it. Well, I know this may seem a little harsh, but if you were born into this land, you do not deserve it anymore than an illegal immigrant. Why? Because you did nothing to get into this land but be born. Immigrants are required to go through long acceptance processes in order to obtain citizenship. I believe tests, the knowledge of the English language and history of America are also necessary to get into the U.S. All most Americans had to do to obtain citizenship was to be born. That's it. Once, my school history teacher made my whole class take a citizenship test to see if we knew what immigrants where required to know and most of the class was stunned. We needed to make it open book in order to complete the test! Immigrants are required to study these facts.

My point of the whole paragraph above was to point out that if being born within the U.S. is the only requirement to become a citizen, then what makes anyone think we deserve America? The only ones that deserve it are the ones who work for our country. The ones who stand up and do something. The ones who give without taking and give back to the community. Our ancestors deserved this country. The least we as Americans can do is to allow others to experience America as well. We need to help them gain citizenship and make immigration laws less of a strain. Not one person deserves America, we all deserve it as a whole. The illegal immigrants are just here to lend a helping hand and to live better lives. Please, do not deny them of this.

Now, I know many people try to say that the whole issue of immigration is all racist white people. This is very wrong. Although many people do get very racist when involving this issue (ex: all wetbacks need to get out!!). It is a sad day when things like this turn into a racist issue. It starts off with legitimate arguments, but then quickly turns ugly. If you visit "Yahoo! Answers" on the Immigration page, you will see much racism in one little forum page. I'm not saying all people against illegal immigration are racist, but I definitely see it every day. Notice how the KKK and are very anti-illegal immigrant. Please do not let their train of thought catch on. Racism leads to no good at all.

Many immigrants just want a piece of what America has to offer. They fight hard to get into this great land. Why stop people from achieving their happiness? Is it not an inalienable right to have the pursuit of happiness? They are merely pursuing their happiness. No one's rights are being denied when these people enter the United States.

The great thing about illegal immigrants is that they put millions of dollars into the economy. Most offer cheap labor for work you would probably not do yourself. They do this because they have lived in poverty and are willing to work for virtually no pay in order to just get a little money to live. These people are not greedy. A large number of illegal immigrants can be found building houses, doing yard work, cleaning houses, washing clothes, picking fruit, taking the role of janitor at schools, and much more. Illegal immigrants are good for the economy.

The downside to illegal immigrants is that they cannot pay taxes because they are not legal so they, unfortunately, also take from the economy. That is where amnesty comes in. This is a pardon from the government to the illegal immigrants for their "crime" of crossing the border in order for them to become legal citizens. Doing this would set them free from their fear of getting deported and will also enable them to pay taxes so they will only give to the community. There has been amnesty before and nothing bad happened last time so we can be sure for the same thing to happen again.

A lot of focus has been put on illegal immigrants lately and this makes no sense. These people are here to live and work in America and we want them out? America needs to focus on more important issues. The people who complain about illegal immigrants committing crimes forget that citizens, too, commit way more crimes than illegal immigrants do. Why not focus on those?

In my opinion, the best thing that can be done is to give citizenship to the hard-working beneficial illegal immigrants and deport the takers. Deport only the bad and keep the good. Also, to make the immigration process a lot smoother and more efficient. Besides, while most of us worry about the illegal immigrants already in the country, many other things are happening right behind our backs. Let's focus on the real criminals and not just some people coming to the U.S. to work.

the above is a copy of what that link lead to for those of you who were too scared to click it or just didn't click it at all

the wueastion remains the same: what do you think? agree or disagree? why?

Answer 1

I completely agree with you.Desperation is what makes people from all over the world come here,though its true that people from mexico have it a bit easier because of geography.But everyone has the same struggles to endure here.What i don't understand is why most on here talk about illegal mexicans and then claim its not a racist thing.What about illegal irish,chinese and russian immigrants?What about the talk of protecting the border with canada? all i hear is mexico mexico mexico.During the marches there were flags from el salvador,guatemala and many other latin america countries but it seemed that many on here just remember the mexican one.As far as the massive deportation goes I say go for it.Why not start with every american here whom isn't 100% native american.Because wether you want to admitt it or not all of you are descendants of anchor babies.and yet your ancestors made the trip here regardless of the vast ocean seperating you and not one of you bothered to "fix" your own country but yet are quick to judge others.

Answer 2

I tend to agree with you on most points. The thing I wonder about is when the people of both country's will wake up to the fact that there would be no problem if Mexico had a better economic situation going on and jobs for it people. The cost of living is nothing compared to here, so what stops them from developing some type of industry or something? I have friends from there, both legal and illegal, who tell me some of the same story's. It brings to mind the saying about the hungry man.
Feed a hungry man a fish and he will eat for a day,
teach him how to fish and he will never go hungry again.
We have had major companies go to Mexico, less expense for them, cheaper labor,etc. That in itself has upset Americans because they feel they were betrayed by those company's, "we need work here too! But it did help those employed down there to feed their families.
Whats the answer? I don't know,but I think it is safe to say that for them in most cases it a matter of survival. And if we as Americans have a problem with that then why don't we try to help them get their economic **** together instead of bitching about it?

Answer 3

Here's the DEAL Plain and SIMPLE: I Really don't care if they come here to make a better life for themselves and there family. BUT see we have these things called LAWS OK Follow me so far. I didn't wright the laws. We simply have them. If you wanna come OBEY the LAWS from the START. Don't play the Gee were only gonna BREAK ONE LAW then we will be good. thats BS You can type Sob stories till your fingers bleed and fall off. It's NOT AMERICA"S FAULT MEXICO SUCKS. We welcome IMMIGRANTS. LEGAL ONES.

Answer 4

Way too much crap to read! But why the hell should illegals get amnesty, when they are friggin criminals! Who gives a **** if they want the 'american dream'? First word is AMERICAN,get it? That means it's OUR dream, and reserved for AMERICANS! Illegals need to get the hell out of the country!

Answer 5

What you fail to include, or fail to realize, or fail to take into account, or fail to accept is that there are millions of people out there in the same desperate situation, many of them in much worse situations than the people who have come to the country illegally. These people don't have the option of sneaking across the border or getting a tourist or student visa and never leaving. If you want to bring God into the question, then how do the illegals and you justify the total unfairness of them stealing the opportunities of those millions of other poor desperate people who either want to or have to go through legal channnels to immigrate?

PLEASE respond to this. I keep seeing people say that the illegal immigrants are just trying to make a better life for themselves, just trying to feed their families. Don't you think those millions of desperate applicants for legal immigration just want the same thing? Why should those with geographical advantage have more privileges than those who don't? What about the poor Africans and the poor Asians. You don't think they have it just as bad? Do you think they can swim here?

The only way the immigration process is going to improve is if we don't have 20 million illegal immigrants already in the country. Do you think it would be smart policy or responsible policy to let in a lot of LEGAL immigrants who would come to the country and IMMEDIATELY become dependent on social welfare because there would be NO jobs for them? A country, ANY country, not just the US, has to assess the situation and determine the number of immigration visas they will issue according to the number of jobs that need to be filled. MOST legal applicants and ILLEGAL immigrants are unskilled. The only jobs they can fill are those that don't require special skills. Sadly for those waiting for legal immigration visas, all the unskilled jobs are taken already by ILLEGAL immigrants. Not only are those ILLEGAL immigrants screwing the poor slob following the law and waiting for his immigration visa, they are also screwing the payment system. They are accepting illegal wages. If they would have waited like everybody else, they might have been one of the 20 million LEGAL immigrants who would have been allowed into the country to fill those jobs that are currently taken by ILLEGAL immigrants. In that case, they would have made more money and had more rights. It's a vicious cycle and the only way to fix it is to break it by making it a costly crime to employ illegals and by deporting the people currently living and working illegally within the US.

You think you have a monopoly on sympathy for the poor people wanting to come to America for work, but you don't really care about them. If you did, you'd want to see a fair system. Instead, you support an unfair system. Your system will forever disenfranchise the poor Africans and Asians and Middle Easterners who would like to immigrate legally. Only the people with enough money to learn special skills or obtain a tourist visa or go to school and get a student visa or live in a country close enough that they can walk across the border or have enough money to get to a country where they can just walk across the border into the US will ever have a chance. I don't see how you can pat yourself on the back and say you have sympathy for anyone when you don't give a damn about those other people. You sit on your high horse and think you are so much more considerate than people who want to see legal applicants be given a chance to immigrate, but you don't have a moment's thought for those poor people waiting for years and years and years for their applications to bear results. They will have to wait forever as long as we don't take care of the illegal immigration situation.

Canada has recently loosened its immigration policy. I personally know of about 25 Chinese people who have recently been granted immigration visas to Canada. (Imagine how many people I don't know who've had the same luck.) Some of these people applied just a year or two ago. Some of them had applied 10 or 12 years previously. Now Canada needs workers and so they are accepting more immigrants. That will never happen in the US until the illegal immigrants are removed from their jobs to be replaced with legal immigrants.

If there was a famine and food was limited and all the food available was being distributed in a systematic way, you had to wait in line to get your food, would you say about the man who snuck around back and stole food from the truck without waiting in line like everyone else had to, "Poor beggar was just trying to feed his family."? Well that is what you are saying. You are saying, "Screw the millions of people who have to wait for their legal immigration status before they enter the country. If they are too stupid to figure out a way to enter the country illegally, they deserve to die waiting." If you are for illegal immigration, you are against legal immigration. It's simply not logical.

Nexus, if you are going to go back as far as Native Americans, then we need to deport them too. They came over on a land bridge. In addition, they were constantly invading one another's territory, killing their men and stealing their women. Which tribe are you going to deport from where and to where? All of North and South America would have to be deported. I think either you are playing at being obtuse, or you actually are obtuse. I think it is the former and you actually understand what an idiotic argument it is. As for immigrants, my family did not "immigrate" in the sense that you mean. Louisiana was French territory when my family came to the New World and so they were just moving from one part of France to the other. Later, Louisiana was subsumed by the US, and we became Americans. I would be just as proud if my family immigrated in my father's generation, or even in my generation, but if we immigrated illegally, I would expect to eventually be deported. Do you actually support illegal immigration over legal immigration, and if so, why?
