Although I don't support open borders, I feel this nation should allow more immigration, its good for our economy! And allow those to come legally, instead of sneaking in.
Look at Canada, they are seeking immigration due to there aging population and they need hard workers for their economy.
I also believe the mentality of some in this nation is "open season on immigrants"....They are isolationists and refuse progress.....
Every nation needs immigrants, from all walks of life, it brings diversity and overall helps a nation....I feel the immigration laws are unrealistic for most people to come here legally, therefore they come illegally....
AND NO a fence will do nothing to really stop the flow....

Building a wall in protecting our border, not racism. They don't take the jobs cleaning toilets and mowing lawns, for the most part they are working at the trailer places. As far as outsourcing to India, companies are beginning to realize customer service means more than just dropping the costs by outsourcing. And there we have a choice to not buy from those companies. No, not everything is made in China, and again there is a choice there, just don't buy it if it has a "Made in China" sticker if that bothers you. The Canadians are more cooperative regarding the borders, an although I'm sure there are some 'illegal Canadians' you don't hear that problem very much. They don't complain and whine? Gee, what was that march they did? And it's not only Mexico, it is complaints of illegal aliens from any source.

You need to ask Mexico why they have shut their southern borders down on. The Canadian Government works well with the US because they know if our economy goes bad so does theirs. Many illegals send their money back to Mexico to support their government. If we went to a retail sales tax, I don't think the immigration issue would be such a big deal to most Americans. It would create a tax haven for businesses and the economy would explode with jobs because they would move out of this country for tax reason. I own a business and you wouldn't believe the tax load that they put on companies. By the way, Mexicans have under cut the wage market in the US. For example, construction workers are being paid less than they were 10 years ago, so the American worker can't survive on those wages anymore. There is nothing wrong with Americans working blue collar jobs. It's not that Americans won't work those jobs, they can't.

They call it racism.. yet 'they' at the instant are not marvelous in any respect. The 'White' Spanish of Mexico are the leaders of the rustic and consistently have been. have been whilst the 'very maximum suitable' commander replaced right into a Mexican Indian. White Mexicans come from Spain, for the main section, however the Mexican Indians got here visiting the customary Siberian Land Bridge, and so.. are a sort of racial factors. Racism have been given to be everyday, and the Mexican Indian Tribes, (approximately 269 or so) have been one race (no longer) and the Spanish have been yet another. Mexicans, now, are claiming to be, and in all probability are, of the numerous Indian Tribes in Mexico. Mexico remoted those 'Indians' on reservations, and somewhat, those Indians spoke approximately 20% Spanish, and eighty% the tribal language.. and did no longer connect the mainstream Mexican Society. i think of they're now popping out.. and heading for the U.S. needless to say, the Mexican government thinks this is amazingly, very surprising too. And so does Obama.. they require welfare, and that they have got the means to completely injury the salary ranges contained in united statesa.. THAT makes his economic image look solid. ============================ And, by utilising the way, if an American Indian went south, the Indians down there had very, very nifty the thank you to kill them. there replaced into NO commerce.. or perhaps the Yaqui did no longer arise right here willy nilly. remember, the lands of this Hemisphere have been overcrowded.. water replaced into scarce and the time of the Hunter Gatherers replaced into coming to an end.. however the Hunter Gatherers had NO concept what they might transition to. however the Mexican Indians weren't allowed in this section, whether they might get up right here. That desert south of Yuma is as undesirable because it ever replaced into.

Yeah, they don't complain and whine about getting paid less than minimum wage, and therein lies one of the problems. It drives down the price for those jobs.... Building a wall is not racist. We don't want or need illegal aliens here. It is time for them to see that. If we had millions of Canadians crossing into the country illegally every year, I would want a wall up there as well. The simple fact though, is that they are not doing it.

Well, hello again Alberto, you DO like to get people going, don't you? Look there is HUGE racism in the US, you just have to read the answers to your question to see that!
BUT building a wall, (more like a fence actually, most of it) is perfectly legitimate, and its NOT "racism." And FYI they ARE building up the fencing system on the Canadian border as well, it just doesn't get the publicity. Until December and since the days of Elvis Presley, Canadians have been able to enter the US with a photo id like a DL, after this December they will need a Passport just like any Mexican!
The US is actually in a War Against Terror (check today's headlines!) and while my sympathies lie with the so called "illegals" who are simply returning to a land stolen from them, my head tells me that the US has every right to protect its borders. (Try running the border in China and see what happens!)
I'm not the only one who thinks like that: down here in Mexico City there was a terrible outcry among the politicos, media, and bleeding heart lefties over the National Guard, "The WALL" etc. Then the newspapers actually surveyed the Mexican people. Guess what? Over 80% responded that in their opinion the USA had every right to build the "wall" and send in the National Guard, that's over 80%. (they may not have all AGREED that it was a GOOD thing, but the people of Mexico understand the US's RIGHT to do it!)
There is a vast difference between racism and border security and more people than just you need to get that!

It isnt racism. People in China are not taking up jobs, they are building industry! They are making money for themselves and giving people here cheaper stuff and places to work. That doesn't take jobs away. Canadians arnt coming here in droves, because there country is very nice. Mexico is, no offense, but kinda ****** up. The government isn't taking care of it's people, so they come here instead. But I don't really mind the taking of jobs, but I do mind the 2 million extra cars causing traffic in the LA area. And although alot of Mexicans don't do it, some of them really lower the standard of living with like 10 kids in a tiny house, causing more litter all over. And they don't pay taxes!!! Income tax, is WAY more than just other taxes! I do not have any problem with them here, but why can't they just come her LEGALLY!!!??? AND I AM NOT RACIST!!! IM ******* PACIFIC ISLANDER AND AFRICAN AMERICAN!!!! You know how I feel with all the jokes and slures??!?!?!?!?!? And it's mostly mexico, rather than other south american countries, cause mexico borders the USA so it's way easier to get in!!!!
As that other person said, if you are mexican, TAKE YOUR HATE BACK!!!!!

Unless you live at the south border and witness what Mexican freeloaders do, you're over your head. Racism is someone hating someone else because of their race. Building a wall means protecting your territory. When you lock your house door is it because you hate humans? No, you're protecting your territory. The government think building a wall is equivalent to protecting ourselves, which is not, but that's a different story.

Building a wall isn't racism. It enforces our laws. The fact that one nationality violates those laws much more than do others doesn't make evenhandedly enforcing them to protect our overstrained schools and other services racist.
The other Latin American country illegals, as I understand it, would also be hindered by that wall.
And education and health services are not covered by sales tax, and poor people don't pay for themselves in any event, even if they pay income taxes. Those not poor pay for services for the poor, which is fine when it is our own poor, but not when it is foreign poor illegally here.
Their countries should cover their poor, and Mexico absolutely could, if it wanted to.
By the way, we are aware that when you call names, it means you are losing the argument. You might as well stop.

There you go.... playing the race card... no one is buying that racist crap at this point... illegal aliens are recognized for what they are: CRIMINALS.... that is all they are.
You are supporting illegal aliens, criminal activity, lawbreaking.
YES, illegal aliens are stealing from America, China produces junk that falls apart.
A wall is not racist, its purpose would be to aid Mexicans and others to not become criminals.
Canadians are not ILLEGALLY INVADING the sovereign United States. Canadians who come here don't steal jobs, they visit and then go home. They are not thieves.
As for the 1-800 #s, I tell them to speak English or get someone who can.... I don't want my time wasted with unintelligible mutterings. Wake up. They can't tell the difference between a printer and a scanner.
Playing the BS race card makes you a racist. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
