this country was founded on immigrants, also this country isnt even reall ours, it belongs to the native americans, maybe WE should go back to Europe and quit telling spanish people to get out of texas and cali(which was actually theres first) and stop telling black people to go to africa when WE'RE the ones who brought them here. I think white people and muslems are the sourse of EVERY SINGLE problem in the world. Dou you agree?

Why cant you guys understand Immigrants and Illegals are two different things..Immigrants have the permission of our government to be here..Illegals refuse to ask for permission to be here. Do you walk into your neighbors house with out asking his permission. Well the Illegals did just that. Let them do it the right way like our ancestors did.I don't want the Blacks to go back to Africa, I don't want the Germans to go back to Germany if they done it the right way, but if the illegals don't want to fallow the rules of the united states them yes i want them to go home to their own country.Illegals are law breakers plan and simple..

we can argue about who can go back to where etc.. but realy the oldest human being on earth found was African. Migration has been occuring for billions of years that's part of being human. But like inflation in the economy there has to be checks and balances in the system. Immigration has become a problem because illegal immigrants throw off the balance of migration by being here illegally. There has to be a system put in place to accomadate everyone and that takes time.
I think what surprises me is the anger and energy supporters of illegal immigration constantly vent towards people in this country but yet don't use the same energy to vent and lash out at the original country the immigrants came from that is the cause of the strife.

You are obviously one toke over the line! Not to mention the fact that you are confusing immigration with illegal immigration. While it was generally white Europeans that bought and held slaves, it wouldn't have been possible without the help of many black tribes in Africa that captured other black tribal members and sold them into slavery. Also, for your information, and while not common, there were many blacks in the south that were slaveholders.
If this country belongs to the Indigenous Americans, how could it possibly have been owned by the Spanish first? (Cali and Tex) If by Spanish people you happen to be referring to Mexican peoples you are once again mistaken. Most Mexican nationals, are not Spanish but of mixed blood, and truth be told have more Native Mexican blood than Spanish. Yes, there are exceptions, and there are a few enclaves of pure Spanish blood in Mexico, but most are Mestizo, a mix of Indigenous Mexican and conquering Spanish and Portuguese. So now pot-head the real question is do you really have any idea as to your own genealogy. If you live in "The Land of the Free" I would be willing to bet that you also have at least a small bit of northern European blood in your veins. It's rabble rousers like yourself, narrow minded, tunnel visioned extremists that are really the cause of the worlds problems, regardless of the color of their skin.

Maybe you should cut down on the pot smoking. Not every white person has a problem with immigrants. I have a problem with ILLEGAL immigrants. Second, I don't think people are telling the Spanish to get out of Texas; they are more concerned with the Mexicans. The two are definitely NOT the same. Next, who is telling Blacks to go back to Africa? Let's remember, though, that many of their own people participated in bringing slaves to America. Finally, I find it interesting that you can be bigoted toward Muslims when you seem so open to everyone else.

What ABOUT white people? Like it or lump it, 'whitey' pretty much founded the United States. We've come miles and miles and miles in ensuring equality, even going overboard in the opposite direction, but at the end of the day this country is WAY better on issues of ethnicity and integration than just about any other country you could point a stick at, and you can take THAT to the bank. Further, illegal immigration, while a problem primarily involving Mexico, isn't confined to mexico, or to the United States for that matter. How many people do you think live in the world today? (scroll down for answer)
Answer: Something like 6.6 billion, that' BILLION, with a 'B'. Now, how many of that 6.6 billion live so far below the poverty line they'll never see daylight in our lifetimes, or theirs? Welcome to the 21st century. Foreign aid is one thing, giving away the store is something else. People gotta learn what we learned, what China's learned, stuff like that...you can only support about soooo many people before your agriculture, your infrastructure, your society all go to hell. Do you like the reliability of that light switch working when you expect it to? Do you think all countries' peoples have that? I'll bet not, would most of them like to move to the United States? You betcha!
Immigration's a toughie, I've been reading about it for 3 months now, and I still don't feel like I see the Whole Picture. Of course, people have been studying this one for decades and they don't have any good answers either, or at least they're not sharing.
I think the answer is to get really structured in our foreign aid, and stop being suckers for a sob story. Mexico's not the only hard-luck case out there, and they're far from being the bottom of the list...finally, I think you've got it in for whites by the way you ended your post, which to my view makes you a racist. So....

No, I don't agree. I agree about the black part, that is stupid. But it is equally stupid to include that with the rest.
Every country on the planet was shaped by conquest. That is irrelevant to what we do today. We set up and pay for education and services for our own poor because we think our poor citizens and invited guests should have these opportunities. However, poor people pay very little in taxes and nowhere near what they cost in education and other services. The rest of us make up the difference. That is why we limit, and need to limit, how many poor can come.
And it is not just money. Our own children's schools are being ruined in border states and areas where illegals concentrate because ESL programs are expensive and even with them, the ESL students are a 'hard nut to crack' for reaching state testing standards. Accordingly most of OUR money goes to those programs and programs all children had when I was a child have been cut to fund them. Education is degraded and our children's future is impacted by that, severely.
People should not come illegally.

I don't think people really complain about immigrants in general, and for those who do they are probably not very good people anyways so you shouldn't bother about their opinions. We just care about illegal immigrants because it is unfair to everyone else in the country who has to pay taxes and all that stuff that is required by a regular citizen.
White people and Muslims are not the source of every single problem in the world either, thats just a ridiculous statement. But you could say that all people are, I would agree with that.

Oh you poor little ******* are you feeling like Legal aliens and "white people" hate you. Your right we do hate illegal aliens. We want you to die . We did just want the illegals sent back to wherever. Now just die. If you can't live in the world the way it is without complaining just die. If you work at changing it then your doing something. Wanting open borders is wrong, but not complaining is useless, work at change. Like changing the piece of fecal matter that is the Mexican Gov. Corrupt, and useless.Fix your home before invading mine Illegal Alien scum. White people don't complain about immigration just Illegal Alien scum dogs invaders.

ok first things first there is a difference between immigration and illegal immigration. It is true that this country was founded on immigrants but those people came here and learned english and payed taxes and lived the american dream. Those people contribute to our society. Then theres illegal immigrants that work under the table and dont pay the taxes and are a drain on the economy. The issue is ILLEGAL immigration not just immigrants
