Preface: Im Hispanic. Our country already has too many freaking people in it; adding still MORE people will just strain systems and dilute resources that much more. Clearly we cannot allow anyone in the world who wants to come here do so. Every sane person will agree to that. But for some reason if you replace the word "anyone" with "Mexican" millions of people including almost all latinos (go figure) suddenly lose their minds and decide this country can handle any influx imaginable. Actually, *hint hint* they're not doing any analysis, they're just spouting bullshiat based on emotion and/or old-fashioned Sesame Street caliber tribalism. We don't owe non-citizens anything. I'll repeat that. We don't owe non-citizens anything. Helping out non-citizens is one of those "nice to do" things. It's not something you do if it hurts real citizens. A massive increase in competition for resources versus a much smaller increase in those resources = hurting real citizens, lower standard of living.

If you break a law and don't hurt anybody, the punishment can't be that great.But if you're breaking laws and that affects other negatively, e.g. those navigating the proper immigration channels, then the punishment should be steeper, like, I don't know, no FEDERAL money for education. Jeebus, there's no steaming bullshiat imaginable that California won't entertain.
I have to think the root cause of 99% of the country's problems is this: politicians put votes above all else. This means the popularity of issues takes precedence over the impact and net value of issues. So any proposition that will negatively impact the country will still go forward (or equivalently, fail to be opposed, same diff) so long as it's popular. This, my friends, is horse shiat.
The only way to salvage our little 200-yr old project country is ACCOUNTABILITY.

"you are hispanic and you want us out? "
Your attitude is exactly what I'm referring to. I'm Hispanic, so I MUST be pro-amnesty, right? Can we say racism?

ummm...........more people actually causes competition which raises the standards citizens have to live by and causes us to have a stronger more intelligent nation and if the immigration system didn't take almost 6 YEARS, they would be citizens.

The thing that always bothers me about this issue is how some want to reward bad behaviour instead of good behaviour -- i.e. rewarding illegals and bogus refugees who try to jump the queue with citizenship rather than reward those who wait patiently, play by the rules and follow the designated process to apply for citizenship.
You could never train a dog that way. Try raising a kid that way & you'll get a monster. The principle is universal. Reward good behaviour, not bad behaviour.

Since you"re "Hispanic" your ancestors probably entered this country illegally and like most naturalized "Hispanics" you chose to turn your back on your heritage. You feel only you have the right to be here and nobody else.
Since you believe this (my) country is over populated why don't you do us/me a favor and leave. Don't forget to take your refugee family with you.

very well said, I can't find anything in your rant that I disagree with,I hope a lot of people read this and take it in. But you know you are going to get some "hate" answers if this site follows the same pattern it always does. But such is life. Comon sense with some seems something that has avoided them for whatever reason. Nice job carry on

Honestly, I've no problems with legal immigrants, people who go through the systems and are either legal tourists or obtaining citizenship. Good for them.
I do, however, have an issue with illegal immigrants. I understand things suck in their home country and so they want to move. I would want to too, but their simply not allowed to jump the fence to do that.
To recap:
Legal immigrants = good
Illegal immigrants = target practice for my 10 gauge.

Just because you are hispanic, doesn't mean you are exempt from being racist. Too bad you didn't watch more Plaza Sésamo...maybe you would have learned how to treat all people with respect.

I agree with you, if we could, only stop this madness, called Political Correctness, we would be halfway to solving our
problems. We could start by eliminating, all forms of Foreign
language printed material, that is now required. Fine all
business owners , who employ , illegal aliens, regardless of
nationality,. Tough measures are needed.

Your mind is working properly, the issue is complicated, I feel sorry for oppressed people, and I agree with your thoughts in general.
I fear they sucked those people in here to send them to war!

The only people that deserve to be here is those whom that enter legally. Nothing less

Good points, and I guess you'll still be called a racist for saying it.
Thanks,
