What makes you the "all knowing one"? Americans are doing as much as they can to let our leaders know that the MAJORITY of us want the illegals deported. We do NOT want amnesty for them.
We do plenty more than voice our outrage on Yahoo!Answers. This is just a small thing to inform others of the problem and answer some questions. We don't get out and act up violently like the illegal immigrants have done. We have laws and procedures, other steps to take before we revolt. Revolutionary actions are in place, temporarily on hold, if and when we need to take that step. The illegal immigrants will find out the consequences of continually provoking a strong nation. We will stand up for our country and if it takes a civil war, so be it. We don't back down.
Native American= with a capital 'n', (Indians)
native American= lower case 'n', citizens of the USA who descended from the pioneer settlers
who were immigrants
naturalized American citizen= immigrants who came here when we already had laws on immigration and they became legal citizens
USA citizens= Native Americans, native Americans and naturalized American citizens (legal and DOCUMENTED)
illegal invaders=people who entered the USA without following the legal procedure, without any type of health screening, without criminal background checks and should be deported.

Well you can not really expect any group of people to "stand together" on a particular subject if they don't all agree on how to handle the situation. Most polls show that Americans are basically split down the middle when it comes to immigration.
If I may ask what exactly is it you have against "illegal" immigration? Is it because they "take our jobs"? or "don't pay taxes", or maybe because "they are using up our tax dollars b/c of all the govt assistance given to illegal immigrants"?
I know its been said alot but its true, just about all of the jobs these immigrants currently hold are jobs most Americans, in my case all of the Americans I've asked and known, would not even consider applying for. rxhurgirl, I'm not sure where you work..or even if you work, considering the people who make up users on Yahoo! answers you're probably still in school. But either way, let me ask you a question, are you willing to take a job in construction? or how about in a poultry plant, would you like to hang live chickens up on hooks for eight hours a day, or maybe you'd like to sort through chicken livers for eight hours a day? Or I bet you'd love to clean other people's homes or clean the toliets of your local high school? (and no I am not saying that is all immigrants do, but to be fair these are the usually the only kind of jobs they can get.)
ok, about not paying taxes? I know actually quite a few "illegal" immigrants and all of who get taxes taken out of their checks, only to not be able to file for a refund at the end of year. Not only state and federal taxes but these immigrants also get social secruity and medicaid taxes taken out of their checks. Medicaid is only avilable to citizens and social secruity is only avilable to to citizens and perament residents. So that is all money these "illegal" immigrants don't ever see again, and when you're making around 6 to 8 dollars an hour, its money you could really use.
I guess you might also wonder, why doesn't everyone just stay in their native country? Well from your stance on this subject, I 'm going to assume you've never been to any of the countries these people are fleeing from. Like alot of things in life, you don't have room to talk until you've been the shoes of those you're judging.
One last thing, honestly what makes you American? What does it mean to be American? That you were born on a specific continent? Well, I am not sure if you realize it but you were basically just lucky enough to be born here. That really does not make you any more or better of a person than any one of these immigrants.

Half of Americans are not illeagal immagrants!
I have never met people who so feeble a grasp of the meaning of a word as Immagration jackhats and the word "Illeagal" There are no Illeagal US Citizens or a Bill of Rights for Illeagal Aliens. They are law breaksers and don't belong in this country by their very definition. If you don't like it change the laws to let them in but don't pretend that it's acceptable that they broke the laws of this country.
In short, they won't stand togather because they don't have one opinion on the topic and some of them have some fundemental difficulty understanding certain words in the English Language.

perhaps you're all marching interior the incorrect places. fairly of marching against the immigrants, circulate stand outdoors of the beef packing flowers that hire them for next to no longer something then get a slap on the wrist while they are caught. circulate march against the Agri-conglomerates that hire the illegals off the back of their pickup autos and then do no longer even grant well being reward while they fall ill or dehydrated. circulate wood the banks and private loan companies that funnel the money back to their residing house international locations and make tens of millions off of the transactions. March against the lobbyists who attempt and safeguard the status quo by utilising bribing the two factors of the political fence and convincing all human beings that there isn't any longer something we are able to fairly do. Vote for Senators and Congressman who will certainly handle the problem. Do you surely think of that if there grow to be a criminal thank you to come back up right here and artwork to feed their families, immigrants might positioned themselves interior the hands of coyotes who circulate away them locked in Semis devoid of sanitation centers, circulate away them out interior the wasteland to die in the event that they are able to't save up, and carry them for ransom while they think of they are able to get extra money out of the families? i'm better than happy to take heed to which you're college knowledgeable and helpful, yet that would not propose that it is impossible so you might have compassion for the sufferers in all of this, and it genuinely ability which you have the intelligence to ensure who the genuine criminals are. i'm no longer suggesting for a minute which you have forgotten your history, yet i'm saying flat out for you to circulate back and take Political technology one 0 one. while there isn't any criminal thank you to do something, a useful guy or woman will ruin the regulation. while it is greater worthwhile to do corporation below the table (no taxes, standards won't be able to be enforced, decrease wages, no medical insurance or Workman's reimbursement to fret approximately) a grasping corporation guy or woman will often choose to do corporation illegally. in case you studied your American history, you additionally should have discovered that the folk maximum illiberal of those injustices are first and 2d technology immigrants. Now, circulate look in a mirror and tell me, what do you spot?

Not true. We Americans do stand together, but our legal repersentatives only listen to big business and big farmers who love illegals. We average Americans HATE illegals and want them out of our cites, schools and COUNTRY!!!! but our Congresspeople and Senators are sleeping with big business and big farmers who use these low waged, uneducated illegals to milk a profit. SO.....it's not that Americans don't stand together, but the greed of our representatives that prevent us from stomping out illegals from our great country.

Do Americans ever come together and agree on anything? there are some that honestly believe that there is nothing wrong with simply opening up the borders and letting everyone who wants in - in.
There are Americans who literally don't give a sh*t (like the Paris Hiltons of the world) and so on and so on.
Wake up to reality honey, its never pretty or sweet it just is.

What's with the Us Vs. Them attitude? They are people too, and not an invading army, just poor people doing what they can to survive. Fight Poverty, and illegal immigration won't happen anymore.

We try. They are coming into this Country in packs. The only way to keep them out is for a law's to be increased, and by that I mean machine gunned down on the spot. Let Sheriff Joe run it. They would stay out then.
ILLEGALS ARE THE LOWEST SCUM OF MANKIND. Racial war is imminent.
