Immigration Rights?

Question

Did anything change with the immigration rights? Im not talking about the fence.
Many people think that immigrants live in U.S without paying taxes, and live on other peoples money. That is not true.They live like everybody else, except they struggle lot more in everyday life.

For those who think that illegals live like this person thinks
what you think isnt always true. Every immigrant is at first illegal, after time they become leagal.
I came to this country 3 weeks after 9/11, and i did not sneak through the border, i came here on a plane from europe, and since day one i never lived with 20 people in the house, my parents paid taxes, we dont have insurance or any services like you might think.
Everybody is a immigrant here, except the natives. Just becouse you are racist doesnt mean somebody is stealing your money. you say illegals flood the classroms with no english education. How come im the one getting all the honor rolls from english class at the end.
OK if somebody was living on my money, that i dont like, i would be pissed too, but theres people that are illegal but try to live a normal life, and are willing to pay taxes. Those people have limited options, in life.
Sure kick out aliens who dont pay taxes but let others live a normal life.

Answer 1

You must be young. They do not pay taxes, they use our hospital emergency rooms as primary care at taxpayers expense, they get many social services that we would not get so easily and their children flood our classrooms with no knowledge of English, so they are in special ed. classes at our expense also. They live, many of them, in houses {most likely not owned by them} with little amenities, some of them 20 or more to a house, depleting the value of the homes of their neighbors. I don't have a problem with immigrants that come here legally, and contribute back to the economy. But they don't do that. They are here illegally, and are still afforded the privileges of Americans. No matter how you look at it, the word ILLEGAL, no matter what word it precedes, means ILLEGAL.

Answer 2

I see all this answers, and makes me feel bad that all this "people" don't have a solid argument to base their assurances, they are just instigating hatred.
There are no new immigration rights, not other than the universal human rights, which only apply to the persons:
The right to life, liberty and security of person.
The right to an education.
The right to employment, paid holidays, protection against unemployment, and social security.
The right to participate fully in cultural life.
Freedom from torture or cruel, inhumane treatment or punishment.
Freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
Freedom of expression and opinion.

This is the main human rights adopted by The United Nations.

The other part of your posting about immigrants paying taxes, yes, they do. and if they don't is their employers who are not reporting it. About the unclaimed taxes, illegals actually create a deficit in spending from the government, because of the low cultural level of education, it costs more to grant them services than the tax wit held by their employers.
Education is one of the Universal Human rights, it would help if those families encourage their children to stay in school, at least until high school, instead of letting them drop out to find a job.

I post this answer, and expect it to be seen in an understanding manner, we have so much to work for, and we have to do it together.

Answer 3

No one is saying anything bad about immigrants... Have you been asleep all this time. Pro-Americans are against "ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION" not just plain ole "immigration"!!! Use your brain!!! We understand that this country is made up of all types of immigrants & you're right... they do pay taxes and all that good stuff; just like the rest of us; but... on the other hand... "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS" do not pay taxes & they do live on WIC, Welfare benefits, Medical benefits, etc... America's generosity (or should I say the American governments stupidity)!!! Get your facts straight!!!

Answer 4

How do they struggle more? They are eligible for (and receive) schooling, housing , free government money , special tax rules. Immigrants have it handed to them. Now illegal immigrants have to hide . so i agree they may have a tough time. Should of came here legal though.

Answer 5

You are wrong; sorry. Most people think immigrants work and contribute to society. It's the ILLEGAL ones that don't pay taxes and live on everyone else's money; including YOUR money. How is THAT fair?

Answer 6

Legal immigrants this country needs, on the other hand Illegals are taxing our economy.

Answer 7

You have your legal immigrants, and you have your illegal aliens. The people advocating for amnesty use all kinds of fancy words to try and deliberately blur that distinction, but it's still kind of important. Read carefully...

Answer 8

hi..i dont think anyhthing has changed..apart from making it harder and harder to get a green card...yes i agree with you...we all pay our taxes and work..im still waiting for my green card after living in the states for nearly 5 years..i work hard...pay my taxes..im married to an american....yes its hard..i m not an illegal immigrant...but its still tough.

Answer 9

You are right about immigrants, however, wrong about illegals.

Answer 10

There's no "right" of immigration.

It's a privilege.
