What kills me is the people that are offended don't realize that most all of the people against ilegal immigration don't mind if someone comes here legally and folows our rules and becomes an american not a hyphenated one

Protesting is not enough. We need real solutions that speak for themselves. See excerpt below from a related post. Thanks.
----------------------
For the immigration issue, to be fair to residents who have not broken any laws, I believe residents or employers who have committed violations should either invest voluntary or mandatory restitution into a work-study program -- supported by churches and universities in cooperation with government -- to build a city state of campus complexes across the Mexican border, so that migrant workers, students and families can safely access opportunities for a better life without violating any laws.
Residents or citizens who violate laws can serve time across the border, while creating openings for law-abiding immigrants applying for U.S. residency to become citizens in their place for the same amount of time - 5, 10, 25 years or life, depending on the crime or violation and the sentence being served. I would especially recommend that violent convicts or sex offfenders be housed in special units apart from the general population. So the maximum security for the prison would double as border patrol.
The point would be to enforce a common standard of citizenship based on civil behavior; so that those who abuse their rights and freedoms to violate others' would lose their right to live in this country, while others willing to work hard as law-abiding productive citizens could earn the right and be rewarded for respecting the laws.
I believe that by setting up a system like this, several problems could be solved at once concerning immigration laws, criminal corrections, social restitution, and organizing resources to provide education, public services and work opportunities to
the less privileged without imposing a burden on taxpayers who do not wish to participate.
If all the migrant residents and workers were allowed a way to invest in building their own city states where they could claim lawful citizenship, there would be plenty of resources to make it work. It is just a matter of organizing the people and institutions who would support such an alternative, instead of wasting any more resources fighting over policies. Why not correct them.

Imagine how hard it must be to go to be overworked for a less than minimum wage pay each day. We try to think of ourselves to highly in america. As far as I know most (but not all) immigrants working are here on "working visas" or something along the lines of that, so they can legally reside here, and work for less than minimum wage. I wait for the world to collapse when people in china demand more money, then the next country demands more money, and more. You go do the same job they do for their pay if you have such a problem with them doing it, I'm pretty sure people will hire you if you want to work for such a wage. You're probably in the mindset that you are "above that work" anyways. Of course you have a right to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, so go for it if that is what you want. Just look at landover baptist, they're doing well, lol.

By all means feel free because the Internet is really lacking in hate sites right now and while your at it maybe you should start issuing "arm bands" to all the illegals....not original but history has a way of repeating itself.
