The American people want a comprehensive immigration reform.

The racists in this issue seem to cry the loudest! Their agenda is to have a pure, all white America. But since America is made of immigrants, their argument is weak.
Although I agree we must regulate immigration, we cannot have an 'open season' mentality on illegals coming over for a better life, its hypocritical, since most immigrants came here for that very reason.

your question assumes that those who are for enforcing america's immigration laws are racist and / or anti immigration. every nation has an obligation to secure its borders and protect its sovereignty. Playing the race card does not make this reality go away. Nor is this different than any nation on the face of the earth. It is not a stretch to say that those who do this in a knee-jerk fasion, are the true racists in our time.

I have nothing against immigration, as long as its legal and through documentation instead of illegally crossing over.
its like someone breaking into your house and demanding to stay. Sure, he can stay because you still have the resources to support them via space and food. But when 30 to 40 of them come in unwelcomed, you cant support yourself anymore at all.
Its better to invite them in through the front door with your consent. That way, you can make sure you can still function while allowing the max amount of people stay.
If immigrants came to find a better life, don't you think the better solution is to make Mexico a better place to live? Oh maybe they dont have to means to...so let the US government invade Mexico like they did to Iraq. Im not serious about that but I dont get the choices some people choose; We shouldnt impose democracy on other countries yet our own democracy is getting undermined by another countrie's poverty. Its like a lose lose situation.
Face it, the role of a country is to secure its own people before worrying about people from other countries. And when we think we can fit more, please show them the way in.

That is hilarious.
It is all in the definition of 'comprehensive' and the Senate Bill is ludicrous. The American people do NOT want anything like that. "Comprehensive" in the mind of the Senate is "Pork Barrel unlimited immigration at our expense" in the mind of the people.
The American people can only be accurately assessed in a vote. So why don't we put it on the ballot and let them vote. Since you think the American people are on your side, I assume you will help me to collect signatures to make that happen....

Are you one of the people who refuses to see a difference between illegal and legal immigration? And your usage of the word racist is so lame. Get a life will you? It's over illegals and their supporters are losing and have virtually lost it all. Time for you to go.

(insert rolling eyes here)...try getting an education, because being anti-illegal immigration isn't racist..cuz most of us don't have a problem with LEGAL immigration. I don't care WHAT country a person comes from, just don't believe they are entitled to our resources without respecting our laws on immigration. If they can't start out being legal....what makes you think they won't just disrespect any of the rest of our laws?

The American people want closed and secure boarders. The last time I checked Mexican wasn't a "race" it was a country. Hispanic isn't a "race" it's a language. The American People don't want a "free pass" to citizenship for *ILLEGAL* immigrants. Learn the facts instead of demo talking points... dumbass

Why do a bunch of racists who hate America want to let everyone break law and the punishment is a hug and a ice cream sundae?

Because they're no different from anybody else. Everybody wants to impose their will on the American people, including the American people!

The other day here in California, an illegal imigrant was arrested, for a hit and run turns out he was a gang memeber who had been deported 13 times for acts of violence and drug smuggling. If you are for illegal imigration, I think you should welcome him into your neighborhood with open arms. I am not saying that all imigrants are like that one, but the point is we need enforcement so we can know the good one and the bad ones who are here.
