What do you think about this?

I think something needs to be done about the problem quickly...
And thats just mine opinion and I'm entitled to it...
Yes Illegal Immigrants take jobs that the American citizen wants!
Do you have proof that they dont take our jobs?
I would like to see it!

David thank you for your information, and yes i read it.Its not the legal Immigrants we have a problem with.Its the Illegal Immigrants and their illegal activites.The Illegal Immigrants come here and cause harm to the legals,rap, rob,murder take jobs right out from under the citizens of the United states. How are we supposed to fight back when the law wont even do anything about it.Has any of the Illegals caused you harm or gave you problems?Well they have me and my family.If the Illegals was really looking for a better life then they would of went by it the right way and fallowed the laws of the United states.So many Illegals are so disrespectful.I welcome Immigrants to this country as long as they come here the right way.I pray to god that no illegal brings harm to you or your loved ones.This is a debate we will never see eye to eye on.

I am a roofer by trade! I am suffering from this outrage that nobody in government seems to want to do anything about. I live in Ohio in Butler County, the concentration of illegals here is so bad that they look at you like you don't belong here! They undercut our prices and it is impossible for us to compete with them and still be able to pay our taxes and eat. That's why they do it so cheap, because they don't pay tax on the money they make. I say to everyone, one way to re bell against the illegals is make it hard for them to get work. If you see mexicans on a construction site. Call the authorities and tell them they are illegals. Let the authorities sort out who is and who isn't. If you see them picking crops do the same. The people that don't want to do anything about the mexicans are the ones that benefit from them because they are tight asses and don't want to pay a fair wage. They say they can't afford it. They can! They just want to put all of the money in there pockets! Don't buy any fruits or vegetables that you know for a fact have been picked by mexicans. Don't have a home built by a builder that allows mexicans to work on his job sites. Have it stated in your contract that you want no illegals on your home site. Find ways to make it hard on the illegals and the people who hire and benefit from them. If they have no business flow, then they have no money with which to pay the mexicans! I am a tax paying American Roofer that is starting to feel the effects of the illegals. I am to the point when I see an mexican on a job I ask to see a green card. They don't have to legally show it to me, but when I tell them I'm calling the authorities if they don't produce it, they either produce it or run like hell! And don't give me **** that Americans won't do the work! They will! They just can't do it for what the wet backs do it for because they pay taxes on that money unlike the wet backs. I work in the hot blazing *** sun on a roof and I'll work circles around any wet back. And another thing, they produce sub standard products and arent good craftsmen in construction. They do it so damn cheap that they have no choice but to cobb it up and get it done fast so they can make money! Have you ever seen a roof job done by mexicans? Have you ever seen a brick job or drywall job done by mexicans? I hope you hire mexicans to build your house DAVID! But if they invade your practice or trade I'm sure your feelings will change about them also. I hope they do! I hope they screw your eyeballs out when they effect the wages for the type of work you do. Then you can flush the American dream of having your own home built down the drain! And to the lady who answered below me. The difference between me and an illegal is that I pay taxes and I was born here! And you are right, the only people here that arent immigrants are native americans. I completely agree with you there. But the people that came here thru ellis island came here legally, the keyword being legally. They became citizens and paid taxes like the rest of us do. They wanted to be americans. Mexicans for the most part don't want to be americans nor do they want to pay taxes, but still yet they want to reap the benefits of living in america. I have nothing against anyone that comes here legally. But the ones that come here legally arent able to work for the wages that the illegals do because they pay taxes! They want to live in america but they don't want to be americans. they want to fly the mexican flag and burn ours. So you just keep sticking up for them and they will keep coming. When they affect your lifestyle or trade negatively, keep agreeing with them! and we arent talking about way back when the native americans where being "herded" onto reservations as you put it. We are talking about now! Not 2 or 300 years ago, we are talking about now! My great grandmother was 100% cherokee. But you don't hear me bitching about the rez! She married a white man so apparently it wasnt that big of a deal to her! And I do know one thing, the gates on the rez arent locked to keep them in. If they wanna leave forever they can!

Yup! I love the fact that we get told off for something our ancestors did. Guess what! I didn't steal the Native Americans land. I am tired of hearing about how I am not a real American. Guess what.. there are many countries in the big world where people from other countries took over and now are the main citizens. It isn't just America. Why should we be put down because it happened here too? Oh, I know why... because it is America and for some odd reason, other people love to hate America until they need money or help of some sort.
Immigration is what America was founded on. LEGAL immigration. I do not see why we should be "bad" for wanting people to come into this country LEGALLY. Other countries have immigration laws. Are they bad guys? Nope, just America because we are just "awful" people!
If you want to become a citizen... please, I welcome you, just do it LEGALLY!

I think more and more American citizens, every day, are taking on the feelings that ladysarana expressed here. They are reaching their limit and something is gonna blow if the government doesn't stand up and do something other than pay lipservice to the illegal immigration issue. It could get nasty and I don't think the illegals should be feeling like there is any possibility that they could win in the case of "civil war." There are maybe 250 million citizens who are not on their side and there are maybe 20 million illegals and maybe 20 million illegal immigrant supporters, 30 million if we are generous?

Each time you buy something that is not made in America you are taking a job an American wanted... or almost.
I'm sure you are not making a big deal about it.
This is called competition and free market.
P.S.: Madroofer (below), you stated the whole thing perfectly well,
but with the wrong conclusion.
The problem is the large amount of tax the govt is taking from you, not the illegals.
P.P.S.: China flattened a large part of America manufacturing sector. And again, nobody is complaining about it. Why?
Finally, please look at this:
http://www.metroactive.com/metro/08.16.06/immigration-debate-0633.html
here is an excerpt:
"NAFTA's originators thought the corn producers were inefficient, so they figured, "Let's ship corn in from the U.S. and run campesinos off their land to work in factories so they can earn money." The farmers were never included in this discussion. Farmers saw their corn's price plunge by 70 percent. Post NAFTA the cost of food, housing and essential services in Mexico has risen 247 percent. Approximately 81 percent of Mexico's rural population now lives in poverty. I've traveled all through west-central Mexico. There is nothing. In the towns almost all of the people 17 through 60 are gone seeking work.
....
....
Please recognize that whatever negative ideas you may have regarding Mexican immigrants, it is inappropriate and media-generated. These are economic refugees. It is a response to U.S.-promoted trade policies that have basically pushed people off of their land and have given them no choices other than starvation. It forced them to come here. We need to develop legislation that recognizes that the border must be negotiated and monitored as a binational boundary between countries with a binational labor force that regularly travels back and forth across this boundary."

They take our jobs? What?
Every person who wants to work in American can work. How many white kids do you see working the crops? Not a lot. Wanna know why? Because they don't wanna do that kind of work. But Mexicans? They're fine with it, they're fine making minimum wage (and often less, under the table). They basically take the jobs that lazy white and black people don't want. I live in a town that's 5% Mexican. Yet all the fast food restaurants are almost entirely staffed by Mexicans. The managers are white. But the workers? Mexican. And all the white teenagers, what are they doing? They're working in the mall, at the clothing stores, or not even working at all. They're studying to get into college and get the "real" high paying jobs.
How many Mexicans are on welfare, compared to white trash and black people? Not a lot. They work. They are good for our economy. Without them, who would clean your yards, do the dishes, serve your happy meals, pick your crops? White people? Pssh, yea f*cking right. Most white people look at those jobs and aren't interested in them.
You can't get rid of the Mexicans. And I'll tell you one thing - dumb white people DON'T want Mexicans as their bosses, owning corporations and making tons of money. Because that means they'll have power. And dumb white people are the ones that want to keep the power. So whats the f*cking problem? Let them do the dirty work you refuse to do that HAS to be done, go and send your kids to college and let things go as they will.

There's a lot of people, including me, who feel the same way you do. I'm frustrated with our government for letting this get so far out of control. If they don't do something dramatic, we could be facing our own civil war, because I'm not gonna lay down and let the illegals run over me & mine. They're disrespectful anyway, demanding we cater to THEIR rights. What about the two Border Patrol agents who are presently awaiting sentencing because they violated the rights of an illegal trying to cross the border? These agents WERE DOING THEIR JOB. Now the illegal wants to sue for like half a million dollars or some sh*t. That illegal needs to disappear, if you catch my drift.

Chit, how long are you gonna live on that reservation? If you want to make your life better, then quit bitchin, get an education, and do something about it. As a LEGAL CITIZEN of the U.S., YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT. What we're complaining about here are the ILLEGALS, who are a drain on our economy.

You are right to speak your opinion. Here's mine. Why do white Americans always complain about unfairness being done to them. You shouldn't begrudge anyone anything in this country. It doesn't belong to you either. I am full Native American. If you are white then your ancestors came here from somewhere else and either stole or was given what was ours. In defense of the mexican people I've never met a harder working people. If they are willing to come here under dangerous circumstances live as a fugitive and work twice as hard ? They deserve the same chance as all the other people over the years that made this country their home.All the people that came to Ellis Island took jobs from people that were already here. The people that discovered haha this land stole it from my people lock stock and barrel. They tried to completely exterminate all Native Americans and when that didn't work herded my ancestors like animals to live on rotten reservations. Is your home being burned to the ground and all your relatives being shot down like animals NO. Are you told to give up everything you ever loved or knew or be killed,NO. Stop being so hateful about something that you have no right to in the first place. Being part indian doesn't count. The reservations are the poorest places in this country . The worse schools utilities, etc. If someone of color is taking from whites I say more power to them. I don't care who thinks that is a racist remark against whites. My people have been treated like animals and still are treated that way to this day. I have a right to think the way I do just like your right to voice your opinion. Walk a mile in our shoes, or better yet go live on a reservation for a week and send your kids to school there. Then complain about big old bad Mexicans taking away what's your's. It isn't your's to decide who gets to stay and who gets to leave and never ever will be.
