About the immigration raid in Stillmore, Georgia. Is rounding up people who come here to work and wind up...?

Question

getting arrested an answer?

What annoys many is the fact that we seem to be down on people who want to be our friends, sing our national anthym in their language and are willing to work for less than minimum wages while the nations and government leaders south of our borders live off of billions of dollars we sent to those countries.

The courts and system in the U.S. are being jammed with the unauthorized and undocumented work force of approximately 12 million migrant workers, while thieves, murderers, rapists, and killers
walk amongst us and who are American citizens.

Where the hell is all of that money going that we give, interest free (interest free loans-something I as an ex g.i. don't get), to Mexico.

Should we demand accountability for the loans and grants we give to Mexico rather than lock up and chase after someone whose only crime is that he/she wants a job?

Where will it all end....your thoughts?

Answer 1

First off I want to say that no matter what we do, illegal immigration will never end. They will always find a different way to get here - more dangerous routes, and more will die trying to make it here. I think that the border somehow needs to become more secure, but I think that the immigration/visa laws that are in effect now are so strict for cetain poorer countries, that this is how they have to try to provide for their families. As for what happened in Georgia, that just goes to show that all of those people who say pack them up and ship them home, are wrong and what kind of economic problems that can cause for us here in the US

Answer 2

I see no problem with anyone having a job but they just need to fill out that piece of paper and learn english. Just get legal. What if they kill someone or rape someone or rob a store? We would not even know they were even here. No finger prints on file or no pictures no DL yet driving a car or truck and for many it is the first time they have ever drove. They can't get help unless they get a friend to lie to someone to get the help. When if they had just did it legal and learned to speak english they could have ask for help them selfs. Or if they was legal they would not need the help.

There is always more to the loans then you think. We really are buying something with all that free money. Or so we plan but it never works out that way and we just keep giveing the money. We give to the middle east and we get paid back with bombs and death. We give to Mexico and even put business there and they push their people into the USA so they can get jobs and send 15 billion dollars back to mexico every year.

We do need to make a few changes but it is not allowing Mexicans or any other break our laws. As you pointed out. We have enough locals breaking our laws that we sure don't need the number you quoted of 12 million more. I read that the total number of Mexicans in the USA is more like 32 million. So a full third are not legal. This is a lot of lost tax money that could be repairing the streets and paying for these babies that they are having and skiping out on the doctor bills.

Stillmore is in the right and you are in the wrong..

Answer 3

Our financial policy towards Mexico certainly does need to be re-examined. That country seriously is spitting in our eye and we need to show some cojones and stop putting up with it.

Nonetheless I have little sympathy for illegal immigrants. Not all 12 million of them are workers; many live off welfare and among the 12 million are also a fair number of theives, rapists, murderers, drug dealers, etc. They aren't all hard-working, kind people who just need a break in life.

If people want to come here to make a better life for themselves then they need to respect our laws and come here legally. They also need to pay taxes, since they benefit so much from the hard earned tax dollars of citizens and legal immigrants.

When people completely blow off our laws it doesn't make it look like they have much respect or love for America, does it? And after seeing some pictures of the illegal immigration rallies they had in May it really doesn't look to me like these people are interested in becoming Americans at all. It looks like they'd rather reclaim parts of America for Mexico.

Answer 4

Everything in the states is always a band-aid on the problem. The older u get the more you'll see and realize it. I'm just a everyday person trying to make it and I do obey the laws. So if I obey them then I feel everyone esle should. They were here illegal so they need to go back and do it right.

Answer 5

I think they should go back, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be here but do it legally and at least attempt to learn some english.

Answer 6

u made alot of good points... food for thought....
