Federal assistance programs because we have American citizens who do those things? What makes them think that has any bearing on the fact THEY are here illegally? The USA will handle our internal problems with our citizens, we should not have to deal with anyone who is not suppose to be here.

Angela- It is not "ok" for legal American citizens to break the law, but they are "American citizens" and we must deal with them. We shouldn't have the burden of people who shoulsdn't be here added to it.
Example: If your neighbors unruly children came to your house and acted unruly right along with your own unruly children, would you not tell them to go home? Would you continue to put up with them as well as your own unruly kids? They are not your responsibility, they are their own parents responsibility. They should go home and be unruly there. You should not have to put up with their rowdy, disrespectful behavior.
The USA should not have to put up with the 'neighbors' unruly 'children'.

JD- does the word 'illegal' not translate into Spanish? They REALLY act like they don't understand the meaning of it. Thank you.
foxnews/aira...thank you for the compliment, now let's go rob some banks and HEY, I could use a new car!! If laws were made to be broken and ignored for the illegals why not us citizens!! They seem to think they can sashay into the USA illegally and do anything they want to do.
Sashie- you are SO right, thank you.
Mr tooo sexy and beejee- good answers, thank you.

MarkusP- When the illegal immigrants are gone (deported) those rich SOB's can pay LEGAL American kids for doing their mowing and they can afford to pay them better or better yet do it themselves. If people who work the mfg., construction, domestic jobs can put up with the crap we've had to put up with from the mass of illegals here, trashing our neighborhoods, getting our jobs, then those rich people can pay our kids better and if it hurts their precious bank accounts then tough, they should suffer for a while, WE DID.

We have politicians in office who have their priorities mixed, and if you look at many of the states and their abysmal records of fiscal stewardship, it's apparent that they have no real concept of law or anything like that, either. But, until recall elections throw some of these people out of office for some of their dealings we'll continue having illegal aliens in our country.
Public accountability is what it all boils down to, and there is very little of that in some states, which is why they're billions and billions in debt etc., and it's why they've turned a tin ear to vociferous objections of many to having illegal aliens in our country. For a bunch of people that think 'they know what's best for us', kind of like with kids, they sure act pretty stupidly.
Getting illegal aliens out of the country starts in your state legislature, by making sure you don't have any state representatives that are pro-amnesty etc. Remember that there's a money angle here, somewhere, if someone was not profiting by lax enforcement on immigration, it wouldn't be happening.

perhaps part of the problem is the fact that the punishment those few have received have not been just, it does not fit the crime, perhaps America has been too lenient on them. i mean seriously if you can cross the border illegally, outrun the border patrol and then be allowed to turn around and sue them, or cross illegally, be shot at and watch the border patrol agents be the ones to get in trouble instead of you, or how about march in the streets demanding rights when you are here illegally and the government lets you go right on doing it, that sends a pretty clear message that you can pretty much do as you please. can you imagine going over to France or Germany and doing such things? you'd probably be shot on sight. (not that these countries are barbaric) but they would not tolerate this and neither should we, if they were shown that punishment would be swift and harsh, i highly doubt they would be so brazen to show their faces and wave for the cameras while committing the crimes

Its Because
(All Together Now)
They Are NOT ASSIMILATING
OUR Laws Are NOT The Same As THEIR Laws
They Come Here ILLEGALLY
Bring THEIR Customs, Traditions And Ways
AND They Bring Their Own LAWS With Them Too
Mexico Has Been Exporting Her CRIME And POVERTY
To The USA For More Than 25 Years
Nearly 12 Percent Of Mexicos Population Live In The USA
And Dont Think For A Minute That WE DONT KNOW
That We Got Every Stinkin CRIMINAL
They Could Send Us
We Get The DREGGS Of Their Society
Those Criminal Statistics Belong To MEXICO
Instead They're Added To OUR Statistics

Our nation is extraordinarily wealthy. Imagine if you live in a small town in a huge mansion. All the other houses are turd shacks, except for one of your neighbors. Your dad insists on leaving all the doors unlocked and all the windows open. He likes them to come in and work on the house because he can give them 25 cents to mow the whole lawn. He doesn't like to hire his own kids, because they want 10 bucks to mow the lawn. The kids have decided they will mow the lawn for 5 bucks and try to do a better job than the 25 cent kids. Dad will not quit hiring the other kids for 25 cents though.
Look at this another way - the reason the war on drugs is a massive failure is because US citizens will pay TOP dollar for them. The government says no drugs, but our dollars say YES. The reason all the illegal aliens come here is for work. The moneyed class and the corporations of our country are falling all over themselves to hire them. How can we expect them to stop coming over?
This is a self-inflicted wound. It's our own citizens doing this. The upshot is going to be that US citizens are going to have to figure out how to mow those lawns for 25 cents and still live. The wealthier are going to get wealthier, and the poor are going to get poorer. Pretty soon, the US will be like Mexico, with a huge gap between the fabulously rich and the unimaginably poor.

They come here for the jobs, plain and simple. They can earn far more working at jobs in US, compared to the low wages they get in their home country.
The federal government does not have enough INS or border control agents to 'round them all up' and send them home, so the undocumented immigrants come here knowing the odds of them being deported are a very low probability. And the United States justice systems assumes a person is innocent until proven guilty, so immigrants are entitled to due process before being deported.
The citizens of the US have told their government that they do not want to have identify papers in order to travel freely in the US. The result is that we don't have fool-proof, counterfeit-proof documents for all people living here that 'prove' a person is a legal US resident or citizen. If you want to change that, talk with your congressman and senator.
Most employers do not have enough resources to check all kinds of possible employee identifcation for authenticity. The largest ones do, but small employers don't. If the US were to crack down on undocumented immigrants at work, as many as 3 million jobs would go unfilled - jobs in agriculture, meatpacking, janitorial service, hotel services, construction labor.
I believe the US needs to recognize these undocumented workers, give them a legal guest worker status - if they come forward and apply, and can document US residency. But don't put them in the front of the line to citizenship ahead of other people who have followed the naturalization path according to law. The undocumenteds will have to wait.

When you analyze the Democratic party you will find that most of them are for illegal immigration. When you analyze the Republican party you find that most of them are for illegal immigration. It is a matter of votes from the Mexican Americans who are here and can vote. A politician will sell out his country if it means more votes for him and his party. Were there a Independent party perhaps it would be different? We require something politically to tear the two parties apart and give the caring voter the right to pick someone WHO stands for the middle of the road but with honesty and integrity.

The debate over illegal immigration has deeply divided Congress, just as it has split the rest of America.
The U.S. Senate is considering legislation that would offer an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants an opportunity for citizenship. The House passed a far different bill, which would make it a federal crime to live illegally in the United States or to offer services or assistance to illegal immigrants. It also would stiffen penalties for employers who hire illegal immigrants.

Ruby, you are smart at asking and answering your questions. Well that being said, I agree with JD.
Also, I do not think just because other people break our laws it is okay for illegals to do it too. If that is the case, we legal Americans should just have at it and rob banks. Maybe hide in a Church to gain public sympathy. Great Question.

Just because our administration seems to consist of people with scant regard for the laws they took an oath to uphold, doesn't mean that 300 million seriously pissed off Americans can't show this shower of manure on Capitol Hill the error of their ways .... there IS no justification for illegals to even be on our soil, let alone demanding rights and abusing our welfare programs ... enough is enough .......

I believe they feel they are justified Through this set of circumstances.
...As Mexico grows weaker via dependency on America there has been a shift in the psyche of the mexican people. They now look to, and accept American as their main force of political and economical stability. This has lead to a false sense of entitlement by the people of mexico. The people of mexico see America as a better "father" to them than their own government spurring an un-warranted belief that because they are so dependent on the U.S. they now feel a sense of inclusion in American civic response to OUR government and a sense of justification in entering OUR country without proper documentation, the same way that WE as Americans travel between the states of our own nation.
