I am just curious and I am certainly not trying to start any poo. America is made up of immigrants. My family came here several generations ago through Ellis Island. I have been watching the debate taking place and I was just wondering are you against ALL immigration or just illegal immigration?

Lucky2 I understand the economic strain and I am with you on that. My concern is that it seems we are having trouble having a mature discussion on the subject. Sorry frogspeaceflower is a Jewish American Psychiatrist. Can't we all just get along? That would be very cool.

Illegal primarily but there are other in equities and problems with the current legal immigration.

Being a Tex-Mex who's grandfather left Mexico because of the revolution. I am against a worker being undocumented.
1. They need to pay taxes as we do, since they do receive the same benefits. Some more than others.
2. They will gain protection from those who take advantage of the situation. At times telling the illegal to leave without pay or the boss will call the Law.
3. To help against other countries like Cuba from sending their killers, rapists and perverts when the prisons get overcrowded.
4. To help weed out the men who are from India that force the families of their wives to pay exorbitant amount of dowries, then use the money to open motels and convenience stores. When money is low they go back to India divorcing the current and scouting out new meat.
America was built on immigration. Remember the Mayflower, Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria anyone?

It should tell you something about the character about the "illegal immigrants". There not even willing to file the paper work. Or realize that there is a amnesty bill put into place to help them out. You can already see that there looking for the easy way out. They certainly didn't stay in Mexico and try to deal with there own problems. And there certainly not willing to help out with another countries problems. For the most part there just here for a free ride. If something doesn't go right for them, they'll complain until tree huggin hippies help them out.

If those are my only two options, I think I'd have to be against illegal immigration.
We seem to need the people to do the work, but to have an open border seems to be asking for trouble.
The kind of "processing" your ancesters went through at Eillis Island seemed be kind of harsh, from the stories I've heard, but something between that and what we have now might be good.

Just illegal immigration. However, that is because legal immigration has limits to protect our schools and services from being overstrained. Making current illegal immigration legal would ignore the need for those limits, so I would be against that change as well.
Under our current laws, however, I am only against illegal immigration.

I am not nor have I ever been an Immigrant, just like 86% of my fellow Americans. We are a country of CITIZENS not immigrants. This country was built by CITIZENS with 14% immigrant labor.
Lying to rewrite history does not work. Next you'll be saying to change the wrting on the Statue of Liberty because you don't get that either.

I am not against immigration - and I think that sometimes legal immigration starts off as illegal immigration. My family immigrated and so did my husbands. I think people are being taken in by a pre-election government smokescreen issue. I guarantee that by Thanksgiving this will all be forgotten.
Peace!

It replaced into the present amnesty invoice that were given issues began. the federal authorities utilising the testimony of time-honored human/drug smugglers to convict some border brokers has helped bypass issues contained in the anti-unlawful route as we. yet, the ingredient that i imagine drove more desirable individuals than something into the argument replaced into the demonstrations. i don't know if it replaced into careful digital camera placement or if the images appropriately depicted how a lot of those people were sporting Mexican flags, yet i know various those who i might want to have sworn couldn't care a lot less before they said those pictures, that now want all illegals deported. They continuously aspect out the Mexican flags they said those people waving round even as they talk about it too.

If you paid close attention, you'd see that we are against ILLEGAL immigration. If they want to come here legally, let them. Many LEGAL immigrants have brought great things to this country. If they can't do it legally, there must be a reason. Ergo, they should not be here.
By the way, many LEGAL immigrants are against the illegal ones, also. They don't feel it's fair to them.

It is about illegal aliens, and that is all. Of course the dumb *** racists come out, and make my side(anti illegal) look bad, but the issue really is about illegal aliens only.
