I have no problem with immigrants from Latin America who come to this country legally. At the same time, I also believe that the process of legal immigration is a royal pain in the @$$ that is mired in government red tape, so the process of legal immigration needs to be simplified. There's nothing wrong with anyone from any country wanting to come to the U.S. to have a better life, but there is something very wrong with a person who sneaks into the U.S. and expects the same rights and privileges that American citizens enjoy. So yes, we should take measures to keep illegal immigrants out but we should also take measures to make legal immigration easier and faster.

Legal ones or illegal ones? While I can't say I dislike illegals, I don't agree with the method in which they entered the U.S. And I do wish that Mexico and illegals had a little more understanding for why we deserve to protect our borders like any nation would.
I like legals just fine though. I like Latin American culture and the different ideas, food, customs, etc that they bring with them. There is this lady from Mexico I know that just got her green card, and she is so proud of it. She's so happy to be here. I can't even describe the look on her face when she talks about it. People like that are just wonderful.

Illegal immigrants overstrain our schools, and drain our services. Our schools are really rotten now in areas where they concentrate, since the funds to educate their children is taken from the funds we pay to educate our own. This is not a small matter, and there is real anger at not just illegal immigrants, but at the government for not enforcing laws.
However, legal immigrants are not an issue, or at least no one thinks it is their fault if they add to the burden. Our government is supposed to care about education and health care for our own people, they are the ones hired to enforce our laws, and they are the ones we are most pissed at. However, those who break the law to steal services we pay for to take care of our own people are definitely on the list as well.

If you want to come to the United States and become an American, then come on. I don't mind immigrants coming to our country - it is a great country, and it is flattering that people want to come here so bad. But you have to follow the process - file the paperwork, learn the language, take (and pass) the citizenship test, and make this your home.

The more the merrier. The US is a nation of immigrants, with the exception of the native populations who have been disenfranchised and exterminated throughout the history of colonization. That's all in the past though.
I personally don't think there should be national borders, and that people should be allowed to live wherever they want without persecution.

I am sorry that American policies have made it impossible for you to survive in your own country, and that you have to travel so far, at great risk in order to find work paying well enough to feed your families. It's also a shame that some Americans are so gullable as to beleive the hysteria about immigrants, and react irrationally towards them. I am looking forward to the day when you can live happily in your own country.

I think other countries in the Americas have lots of problems, but the answer to their problems is not to migrate as a body to the United States, which seems to be what's going on...

I'm Native American and white! I don't like illegals here. I believe illegals should be punished the same way as in Mexico! There hurting the US. If you want to change something ,change you're own country. If you get a visa then fine but if you come here illegally , you are breaking our laws. America is my country and my ancestors have been here for a very long time.LOL
