You don't hear African Americans, Middle Eastern, or Asian Americans complaining about these illegals. What it comes down to is that you want to protect your way of life and you don't want to share. Don't give me this reverse pyscho babble on how it's unfair to people who are waiting immigrate the legal and right way. What is fair and right? Was it fair we slaughtered Indians, was it fair we enslaved blacks for 400 years. The blue collar laborer wants to protect his wages because he knows an illegal or an immigrant will do the same job for half the price. Who said its your God given right to make more than another man for doing the same job. If i'm a business owner I don't care what country you come from or your immigration status, I would just care about who did the best job for the best price. Screw the blue collar laborer, its you fault for not going to college.

It's sad how you cannot make any kind of point without drenching it in complete lies and falsehoods. There are MANY Americans of various racial and ethnic backgrounds (black, asian, and even HISPANIC) who are strongly against illegal immigration. Why must YOU turn this into a racial issue, namely an anti-white issue?
The native Americans, slavery... these things don't have anything to do with illegal immigration other than your feeble attempt at spreading more white guilt. Is that how the system works in your mind? Get what you want, whether it is right or wrong, by making white people feel guilty for something that happened years before they were born, something that is not their fault, something they had no control over.
That alone is evidence enough to support the claim that you and people like you have no real basis for supporting illegal immigration. You want it because it feels right to you, but you cannot come up with one good argument to justify it.
How dare you tell the American people that they do not have the right to enforce their own laws. Who the hell do you think you are??

Young man you are so way off base here. I would suggest you watch some footage from illegal immigration protests, check out the different colors of skin who are border patrol, and watch some news. There are many many Americans other than whites who are "staunchly" against illegal immigration. Further more the issue of illegal immigration is not about race, it's about humans whom are entering this country with no legal right. This country is our home, and to not protect your home is just plain dumb. You wouldn't let just anybody in your house would you? Think about that. Would you open your door and let just any ol joe into your home? That's what is happening here, that's the real issue. As for your smack about blue collar workers, you're treading heavy on your lively hood and comfort when you go throwing ungreatful cracks at our blue collar workers. Don't forget who put your butt through college, who mined the coal for you to burn, who put up those power lines and installed your internet, don't forget the farmer and butcher who put that steak and potato in the market for you and please dont' forget the woman who wiped your butt and cleaned your snotty nose and kissed your boo-boos. College is a priveledge for the upper class more than anyone else, many middle class couldn't afford college and many will never afford to send their children to college. Soon college for any other than the rich will be un heard of, wiped out just like the middle class population and the blue collar workers if this illegal immigration doesn't stop. You really should count your blessings that we still have some blue collars left and you should support their survival in this land, without them we will be a land of rich and poor, or should I say rulers and slaves.

O.K., How many times must you be informed of your mistake before you become convinced that you have made a mistake?
AMERICANS are blue collar workers, they are the backbone of this nation, Striking garbage handlers have proven that. So have striking truck drivers, these are blue collar workers, & you want to say screw em? You are a spoiled child with an entitlement attitude.
You have just" heard" fron a very diverse ethnic group on the issue of Illegal immigration which I choose to call by the proper terms of CRIMINAL TRESPASS.
You need to look at the answers given and re- think your stance. OR remain ignorant, the choice is yours.
I am a college educated non- white person who is not only staunchly, but vehemently against criminal trespass in MY country. Wake up, & grow up.
You are welcome for the FREE American education.

I agree with previous answers and I'll just add
You need to do some research before making statements like that. Yes other ethnic groups complain about illegal immigration, open your eyes!
It is fair and right for immigrants that come to this country to LEARN ENGLISH and BECOME US CITIZENS.

I live in a Mexican neighborhood. They're about 50/50 on the issue. So you're coming from a BS position.
HOWEVER - there are some bigots out there protesting illegal immigration. Just as there are some bigots of other races protesting FOR it.
We either have borders, or we do not. If we do not have any borders, stop checking my ID every time I go to Mexico!!

Actually, I do hear other groups complaining, including Hispanics.
Illegals are arguably being exploited as slave labor.
Illegals compete for government services that minority citizen populations may need. Also, legal immigrants resent having to do things the right but more difficult way, only to be stiffed when they need help from the tax-payers. Pro-illegals use the racisim excuse, because they have no logical reason to support illegal immigration.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I know many in those racial and ethnic groups you speak of and most dislike the effects of illegals on society.
I know you can't get that, as you already have your answers based on parroted mis-emotions, not fact.
Oh well, try this. If you worked hard, spent time and money to become a legal immigrant and or citizen, I sure you would be pissed if some illegal took your job for under the table wages less than you would have to be paid as a legal citizen or resident.
Your thought processes are flawed...I'm not one of your "we".

Because they think that the immigrants will take off their comfortable situation.
But being realistic, the immigrants help the economy to have on time the fruits & vegetables of the states of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado & California.
They help to build the malls and houses they live and they criticize without knowledge.
The immigrants earn very low wages that helps the investor but not the employee, who usually has a large family.
The immigrants don't have any kind of health insurance, even in bad weather conditions.
So it's kind of cruel to describe the immigrants as a pest.
Don't you remember that USA was built with the efforts of IMMIGRANTS?

Taxpayers have the biggest problem with illegal immigration. The 50% of Americans that pay no income taxes, they care less.

not that i pay that much attention to the news on tv or print media, but i remember seeing many blacks and mexicans, all citizens, protesting the illegals. guess you dont care that they are breaking the backs of taxpayers by making us pay for their free food, medical and education for their kids. do even realize what its like in a classroom where more than half of the kids are english language learners? its no wonder many do not go to college anymore, the americans cant get a decent education because they are being dragged down educationally and the mexicans get top treatment in colleges with their own buildings, special tutors and computer labs....all this for the migrant farmers kids. why not blacks, whites, asians or any of the other races that are legal citizens of our country? youre not too smart are you?
