Illegals don't pay taxes?
They all jumped the fence?
They are all on welfare?
They are all on food stamps?
They all live in government housing?
Please! PLEASE!Tell me it isn't true!

Yep they believe they jumped it to steal their I identity and take over. These are the people who believe that all the problems revolve around the Illegals and that if they would go away,so would the American deficit,the strain on the educational system would be eased,the food stamp program would give to all Americans,and the homeless would have housing.

And there are people out there that believe that. . .
- Illegals pay taxes (only people here legally get a ssn, and the only way illegals get it is to steal or buy them, which is another crime to add to the tally)
- They all just came here (illegal immigrants come from all over the world - so assuming that all are from Mexico is WRONG)
- None of them are on welfare (they don't make minimum wage, and that is not enough to support a family - they need assistance, which they get through the welfare system)
- None of them are on food stamps (see the welfare one)
- None of them live in government housing (again, the whole not making enough money on below minimum wage pay rate to house their family. They find subsidized housing or efficency housing)
So I think that making such statements is just as wrong. It's true to an extent, and yours is true. But nothing is absolute. Except death.

For some it is true. But not all of the immigrants are fence jumpers. Sadly there is many that do come and live off of our govenment. My neighbors not sure if they are illegal are not are some very nice people. And not all illegals come to live off the government. I know an illegal and he works very hard and is not living off of our government. I believe if they dont have papers and wont work and pay taxes they really should go home.

It is not true due to the key word "all". There are illegals in the country that live better than a lot of us. Have respectable jobs, homes, and contribute to the communities they live in.
Unfortunately that is the crime. They have been here long enough to establish, and have not become a citizen. By all means come to America and prosper, but become a citizen, be proud of the country that gets you there and keep pride in your heritage.
Illegal immigration is wrong...

There are people out there who believe anything.
Although the jumping the fence is technically true, obviously.

Most of these right wing biggots do, it's really sad that they refuse to listen to anyone else. Most of them have probably never even spoken to a hispanic person, they just live in fear...GO GET THEM Pancha!!!

Yes... because for the majority it is true. And don't try to explain it away....
Don't be naive....
Illegal aliens are the biggest drag on our economy. There is no way around that fact.

Look while I understand that you're outraged, the majority of these things you said are true and it just isn't applicable to the Hispanic community.
