We don't owe you a damn thing!?

Question

I just want to clarify something to all of the illegal immigrants and their supporters reading this. The United States does not owe you cheap or fast legal immigration. We don't owe you help fixing your home country so that you will stay there. We don't owe your children citizenship. No argument that I have heard from your veiw point has changed my mind. You're right, I don't know what it is like over in Mexico, but then again I don't care either. So, if anybody has a ligitamate argument that you can use to change my mind, lets hear it.

Answer 1

**lil_butterflyGROW UP**
AND GET OUT OF USA
YOU SUCK AND DON'T BELONG HERE!

To answer your question I totally agree with you.Since when do we owe them anything?Especially their children.DO NOT get me wrong.They are the innocents in this but THAT ISN'T OUR FAULT.
We didn't put a gun to their parents heads and tell them to pop them out!Why should we have to raise them?
They aren't even a litlle bit grateful to our country for their life here.We sure as H*LL wouldn't get treated as well if we snuck into their country to live.
Nothing will change my mind on this subject and so far none of the PRO-ILLEGALS have even come close to having a decent,intelligent response.

Answer 2

I think you´re right. I´m a Belgian citizen and I live in Monterrey/Mexico. I had to go through heavy screening before I ewas allowed a residence here. Immigration laws exist to protect the citizens from cheap labor (and other things) Even for a European, immigration laws in the US are tough. But they have to be. Think of your borders as the limits of your own property... Would you like any strangers to come into your house freely, helping themselves in the fridge or by the air conditioning? Sleeping in your bed? Maybe making a pass at your wife or husband? I don´t think so. That´s why it says "Private property, do not enter" on the board by the entrance. Close your borders, I say! Protect your territory!

Answer 3

Freedom so easily attainable that it doesn't even have to be worked for anymore makes it meaningless. Sure, the illegals may say that they sacrificed their lives on an endless, foodless, waterless trek through the heat of the desert for freedom. But did they really? Or was it for the selfish purpose of using preferences, yelling race discrimination and generally compelling each of us to ensure, as their right, a superior life for them?America has been hoodwinked and spat upon by these people, and it is time to weed out those who ask not what they can do for America, but just what America can do for them, which cannot be done by condoning unlawful immigration.I with you on this adding some further information.

Answer 4

I agree with the question as for Counselor why is asking a honest question a reason to go to counseling.
Rapid fire I didn't here any hate in the question I heard frustration with illegals that think they are owed some thing. Illegals that have the NERVE to protest in the USA against enforcing US LAW

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT ILLEAGAL MEANS

Answer 5

Well said !! I would like to say we don't owe their kids an education either !! Right on about the "don't know what it's like in Mexico" and the "don't care either" !!!! Like knowing what Mexico is like(or any other country for that matter) is an excuse/argument for ILLEGAL immigration. GREAT point!!

Answer 6

to the girl that wrote the book and has no name under her avatar; why do you people keep using that tired speech of 'the land was taken from us' of course it was you idiot, it is called war, as i recall America paid for that land after they won the war, be happy you got something out of it. want it back? offer to buy it back, at the price it is worth today otherwise give it a rest, it's in the past and over with. as for your little story about the mother and child, what kind of a horrible mother runs away to a land of opportunity and leaves her little child behind in a poor country, yes it is not my situation but i guarantee you if it were i would not abandon my child, even if that meant staying in the poor country forever. as far as your melting pot theory, that was a long time ago when the country needed populated, now that the country is populated our way of thinking must change to prevent overcrowding, my God get with the times, nothing stays the same, everything, with time, must change.

Answer 7

Yea, "splain Lucy", would ya ? If the illegals were NOT here, the job pay rate would be up to standard, American's WOULD work those jobs, but, the Illegal keeps the salary of the job at $4 an hour. I don't see how we need them, we can build a machine to pick fruit ya know !

Answer 8

I am going to have to agree with you.

I don't think we owe anyone anything. We have rules and laws in place to protect the country, and we cannot let everyone move here. It should be up to the country to fix their own problems.

We are not the 'United States of the World"

Answer 9

I'm not going to try to change your mind your right i once was trying to get a job and was not hired because i don't speak Spanish i live here and its hard for me to get a job but they come over and get hired for cheap that's not right

Answer 10

our economic, political, and military policies in central America are a large part of what causes poverty there, part of the reasons the conditions are what they are there is because we have manipulated it to be that way

we use these people as a cheap labor pool whether in Mexico or in the United States

pushing these people further into poverty will only hasten revolution down there, the repercussions of which will extend into the USA, it in our best interest to treat our labor pool fairly
