Answer 1

I am a 9th grader in school and immigration really affects me and my life! Last year there was an immagration walk and a bunch of people (hispanics) missed school which was unfair to the whites! This cauzed a big roit at the high school which lead to whites walking out of the school just becauz it was unfair that the hispanics got excused absents! Then on Sencio Demio a bunch of people were wearing shirts that said mexico and a bunch of other thing, this lead to buring of American flags and Mexican flag. Also on this holiday they hung a mexican flag in the reading room of my school and took down the American flag. Also Hispanics went through the year wearing BP (brown power) shirts which started making whites wear BPK (brown pride killers) shirts. Our school has done nothing about this! I am not racist but this illegal immagration stuff is scary, hispanics go around killin whites and white go around killin hispanics! This is what illegal immagration and legal immagrtion has done in my life and to me! Nothing bad has happened yet, but then again this year is just starting!~~

Answer 2

When I was young, my father worked construction in Tampa Florida. At some point Tampa became flooded with immigrants who would do the same work as my dad, excpet they would do it for about $4 an hour. Needless to say we had to move.

About 8 or 9 months ago an illegal immigrant hit my car. He had no green card, no license, and no insurance. Who do you think was left with the bill.

Also we are all affected by these people not paying taxes. If they manage to get on well-fare, which is not too hard, it costs us money.

Answer 3

Well, since i live in a town where 80% of the city is pure hispanic, it has really affect me. When the immigration marches came, half of the students were vandelizing the school and saying crap about american. Thanks to them, i had to spend 3 hours in a classroom without no food or going outdoors. We got lunch until the end of the day, which was pathethic. Also, My parents were reversing one day when some idiot crash into my parents car and he kept telling them that he was going to call the cops, but he didn't have any isurance or license.

Answer 4

Evidently you're not from an area that has become unindated with illegals taking over your schools and neighborhoods! I live in such an area because of the carpet indusrty and my home town has become a dumping ground for illegals. This used to be a great place to raise kids and now it is a drug haven, auto accidents are up tremendously and we have to carry uninsured motorist insurance (at an extra cost) in case we get involved in an accident with a drunk Mexican that has no license or insurance. I have longer waits in the checkout ot the grocery store because of Mexicans buying....not buying...using EBT (food stamps) and getting 2 or 3 buggies full of groceries. I can only get half a cart if I'm lucky, because I have tp pay for my family's groceries.
Our kid's education is getting behind because of all the students that cannot speak English taking time away from our kids. We have to keep adding on to our schools because of so many illegals coming in and that takes OUR money away from OUR kids. I could go on and on about how it is affecting me and mine, but I think that you get the jest of it!

Answer 5

are you kidding? The illegals are EVERYWHERE! I live in a NICE part of CA, and one morning when my mom was taking my little brothers to school, an illegal stole a car... he came to an intersection where he had a red light, he ran the light, smashing into my mom's car. This happened on a major street right in front of the school. Luckily there was a police officer there that day trying to catch people speeding, he saw the whole thing and pulled the illegal loser over. They caught him and jailed him, but still, he put my family through that accident. Another time, a bunch of illegal children were walking down the street there was a BIG group of them and one got pushed out into the street and hit the side of my car as I was driving by!!!!!!!!! I could not believe it! The illegal kid was totaly fat too and it dented the side of my car!!! The police came out and determined it was the illegal's fault.
Thats only 2 stories... enough for now, but you get the idea. They totaly mess up our lives, they are taking over!
stupid illegals!
DEPORTATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Are you saying only the relatives of the 28,000 Americans so far that have been murdered by them only have a reason to have their life affected?

I hope your not going to say that unless their are soldiers in the street waving guns from a foriegn army is necessary to know we're being invaded.

Answer 7

Sure it affects our lives, we have a lot of positions that would otherwise go unfilled, they clean provide us with cheap labor so that we can have cheap food. If it weren't for them working with no benefits for 5 bucks an hour a tomato picker would make around $15 an hour plus the cost of health benefits, vacation time, the ability to sue if harmed on the job, unemployment etc., that would make the price we pay for our tomatoes go from 4 bucks a pound to darn near 12 bucks a pound. The same would happen with all other food stuffs, many farmers would go out of business as it would make it much MUCH cheaper to import all of our food from Mexico, Chile and Argentina, but we would still have to pay exorbitant amounts for our food.

The same can be said of many other industries, while we complain because they are here, if they weren't it would cost us dearly. The only difference would be that instead of that money staying in the US it would be shipped oversees by importers.

Answer 8

Higher Taxes and you pay to for all of the freeloaders that are able to get Social security and health benefits with fake Id's. Plus most if not all use the excuse they no Habla Engles when it comes to getting in trouble. Almost everything here in California has to be translated into Espanol because we have people who refuse to learn Basic English. Talk About Stupido!!!!

Answer 9

I am a supervisor at a Meat plant. I have had to suffer with people that dont speak English. I have also had to hear people in the com unity whining that they cant work at my plant because aliens have all the jobs there. I believe it is true.

Answer 10

Increased costs =
Medical
School (2 kids in collage, 27% increase this year)

Loss =
no funds for roads ( and they want 50 million more Illegal cars on the road)
space to live ( been to a public place lately?)
Local schools having fund drives for trailers to put students in
"Trailers"
I could go on. YOU have been affected, now and in the future whether you realize it or not
