Iraqis lived under a brutal dictatorship; Mexico is not under a dictatorship.

I'm not ready to help either,the war with Iraq is not my war its Bushes war.The illegals are invading my city and state now that's my war and I choose to end it and illegals in any and all legal ways.
No amnesty ever
Deportation not legalization
English as our official language
Vote in NOvember
Make your voice heard in Washington
If a plan could be devised that all illegals from all nations would go back to their home country's and never ever come back,then Id help pay for that and be very happy paying for it.I think Id rather help a Mexican before an Iraqi,at least I speak Spanish ,I'm not good with the guttural languages

If an Iraqi immigrates to this country illegally (no visa, no green card, no work permit) he or she would have the same status as an "illegal immigrant" from Mexico. Otherwise, you're talking apples and oranges.

I'm not willing to, most Americans are against the war, just like we are 90% against illegals coming into America.
The big reason why is because of oil, Bush kisses Mexico's butt to get ahold of their oil, but he needs to get a strangle hold, and put military over seas to get his fingers on Iraq's.

comparing iraqis and illegal mexicans is irrelevant. iraqis are in iraq, illegal mexicans are in the US. although current immigration policy is poor no matter which side of the argument you chose to take, no one is comparing this situation with taxes in iraq for a reason...

The people of Mexico are not being murdered by a dictator and it is the Mexican governments responsibility to care for its own people, not ours. I understand that it is tough in Mexico, but if these people had any national pride they would fight to better their country not run from it.

i don't know maybe because nobody really want to help anyone, maybe they just say they are helping Iraqis but what they really want is make money with the oil.
and do you really think that the Iraqis are living better than before the war!!!!!!!

Why do you think immigrants don't pay taxes? I know many many immigrants and they pay alot of taxes out of their checks and most of them don't get it back. People need to get there faxes straight.

I don't think we should help either. I think we should help the millions of people in our own country that don't have enough food, or health care. They deserve our help... not people that have their hands out while they talk **** about us behind our backs.
