what do you think about immigrants?and the minute man?

Answer 1

immigrants are great people, but legal is the key, people that come to this country legally and are hard working... the minute men are f ucking idiots disguising their racism in the form of patriotism, basically their idiots... instead of going after the companies that hire illegals and stopping the reason why these people jump the border they act like thugs and are doing the job of protecting the border for the wrong reasons. Hatred and racism should never be the fuel for patriotism. I think the Mexican people are good, hard working people and we should be be doing more to help them legally enter this country. This is a country of immigrants.

Answer 2

I think legal immigrants are great, but there are so many illegal immigrants our children can't get a good education any more and our health care is spent on others. I am against illegal immigration. I support the Minutemen. I wish the government would do their job so the Minutemen wouldn't have to be there, but that isn't the way it is.

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with LEGAL immigrants. Immigrants that enter the country and do what is needed to become a citizen. There has to be someone willing to enforce laws.

Answer 4

Members of the Minuteman Project rearely see immigrants. They do however run into many Individuals breaking US law by crossing our borders (yes both of them) Ilegally.
They are doing our country a great service by bringing to light the poor job the government is doing at sealing our borders, (YES BOTH OF THEM).

Answer 5

I support legal immigration and the Minutemen. I oppose the thought of amnesty for illegal aliens.

Answer 6

I think that illegals who have been here should receive amnesty and the minutemen need to go away!

Answer 7

I don't. I have more important things to think about.

Answer 8

exactly what foxnews/airamerica said.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Remember if you speak the truth these days you’ll probably be branded a racist!
