Let's call it what it is, so don't give me this b.s that they are taking your jobs and not paying taxes, the fact is that they came here and prosper faster than you and you can't take it, if they all go home you will still be a loser.

If by prosper you mean welfare, then they are very very prosperous. No one is intimidated by illegal immigrants. I don't even care if they are "taking our jobs". The part you may not understand is that the first part of "illegal aliens" is illegal. You may want to look it up. It means: against the law. I do not like law breakers. I do not like people that demand rights they have no right to demand. I do not break into someone else's home and demand that they feed and clothe me. That is what upsets people. Others do it legally, why should some break the law to get here and then demand to be treated like law abiding citizens of this country? It is ridiculous.

I only have an issue with illegals because they don't pay taxes. They should also learn the language and not wave flags of Mexico and such (if Mexico is so great, why did you come here?). Hispanics that come to this country legally, learn the language (or at least make an effort) and are proud to live in this country are not an issue at all. How do they prosper faster than me? They can't get good jobs because they are here illegally so they can only become laborers or maids. If they made a little more effort to become legal then they could maybe do something like own businesses and make more than 3 dollars an hour!

We'll be the loser if they all go home !? I live in a small town in central Indiana and the illegal Mexicans have all but ruined it. There are shootings every week, carjackings, gang attacks, they've over run our school systems, bringing down test scores so that we lose funding. We have to hire spanish speaking teachers just to teach the kids that can't speak our language...and yes, it's the tax payers that are paying for the extra police and the extra teachers needed. Our houses are worth half of what they were worth just a few years ago. No one wants to live here or send their kids to school here. Yeah, I'd sure be the loser if they all packed up and went home !!!

I'm really not sure who you are speaking of with your broad generalizations..I do not feel the least intimidated by anyone,legal or illegal.I have never felt jealousy because of any ones success.I have never been or felt like a loser,I have instead felt good that I put my education to work so that I could enjoy a better than average life.When one works hard and prospers its always a good thing,but if one does it on a footing of illegality,it is indeed on shaky ground.To know that it could all be taken from you in one lax moment,when you are found out to be illegal and face deportation.That fear would be too much for me to enjoy my prosperity.I don't have that to worry about,but the illegal does.So why not just do it the correct legal way from the start?

We're not the least bit intimidated by illegal aliens, but we are concerned about the effect they're having on our society.
Look at the school districts. They're overcrowded because illegals live several families to a house and a house that should be sending 1-4 children to a school is instead sending 20. Those students get to school and are completely clueless. The teacher spends more time trying to assimilate them and discipline them and it's difficult to teach the students who actually have a right to be there.
Illegals don't have car insurance. They get into a wreck, it's the U.S. Citizen that takes the hit.
Illegals crowd our hospitals because they don't have insurance. There is no priority for citizens, so while Juan and his family crowd the emergency room, Joe Citizen must wait forever.
I'm all in favor of speeding up the process to become a citizen, but until then, they need to go home and stay there.

I can't say that it has anything to do with being intimidated. It has to do with the law. ILLEGAL vs LEGAL aliens..... IT has to do with the fact I want to be tax free, I want to get these loans to open those ma and pa stores selling foods or other junk. I want the same rights as an American!
Pretty sad my son and his friend are the MINORITY in their classroom. Pretty sad my son came home singing a song in another language. ENGLISH is the primary language here... speak it or get the hell out. Be legal or get the hell out!

I am not....They do many of the jobs that americans don't want anyway....However what I don't like is that they come over here and expect things to work around them...like having to print everything is spanish also....I have heard of people not getting jobs at stores and such because they can't speak spanish...come over and work....I don't care, but do it right...pay taxes, learn english, and dont' get mad when I can't speak spanish....They are not stealing jobs...as I said they do many of the jobs that americans don't want anyway....but I do think that taxes need paid. I am glad to see people prosper here, that is what this country was founded on....but do it right....as I said, learn the language, pay taxes just like everyone else.

Im not inimidated by Illegal immigrants. I am sick of them. I'm sick of walking outside and feeling like I'm in a 3rd world country. I'm tired of them throwing trash in the streets... With all that hard work they do you would think they could afford a trash hauler. Nooooo.... instead they take a weeks worth of bagged up trash and put it by the garbage cans at the parks and behind buisness' and hell, some of them even just throw it on the street corners. Let the tax payers pay for it. I'm tired of how they walk in the middle of the street and refuse to move for the people driving. With all that free education you'd think they'd know what a walkway was for. I'm tired of them sitting on their porches all day screaming. So civilized. People are just simply a product of their environment. The 3rd world ways of their country follow them here and it lowers the standards and forces people to live in low quality environments.

HAHA, do you even have a real argument!? You sad little imp. Americans are upset because they're putting dead weight on an already broken system. They're not more talented, they undercut Americans and work for less. They don't prosper, that much is painfully obvious. The only people who win are the greedy corporations that pimp out these people. Please educate yourself and the dip$hits around you. Better yet move to Mexico, see how much they want you there.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We are not intimidated, we are disgusted with the law breaking and what they are doing to this country.
You need to wake the hell up and open your eyes....
America will win if ILLEGAL ALIENS are DEPORTED and prevented from illegally coming here to STEAL.
