Answer 1

I'd like my money back please.

The next time you guys go protest and have your little La Raza marches, please find the time to cut a check to the US government to pay back everything you're taking.

And shame on our government for giving it to you in the first place.

Answer 2

There are some things you need to concider before you draw any conclusions. I can understand how the American work force is suppressed by those pesky illegals. I imagine there are millions of Americans out of work in the dish washing, gardening, and maid fields. And all these over paid taxes that they can't get back. The estimates on welfare and other assistance is grossly over estimated. In most States a person has to show identification and have a social security number to get any kind of public assistance. Birth certificates are required for children to get medical, too. I have never understood the estimated costs on education. We all send our children to school. I don't see how taking the children of illegals out would magically whisk away education costs. With education requirements in most States, a child can not stay home from school. Take away that requirement and there will be no children of illegal aliens going to school. Children who don't want to go wouldn't have to, also, saving even more money. (Stupid solution, isn't it.)
There is a simple solution to all of the things you are worried about. Make American English the official language of America. In Africa, most notibly Kenya, the official language is Swahili. Everyone speaks it, even though they have another langauge they speak at home. Stop the insanity of requiring multiple languages on forms and labels, etc. How much money is spent on that? Give us a single langauge. If everyone is speaking a differant language, how can they really communicate? How do they find the common ground? If everyone speaks a differant language it keeps those people together and seperated, and setting in motion classes of people based on language skills. That keeps America UNunited.
I would think there are more important things to worry about. Things like...when are they going to ship my job overseas? Why is my American flag Manufactured in China? How come the people who run the government have taken all the programs that keep kids off the streets and away from crime, yet at the same time built more prisons to house the aftermath of their decisions? When are our troops coming home from Iraq? Why didn't we finish the job in Afganistan before we went into Iraq, openning up a second front? Hitler did the same thing in Europe during World War Two, thereby setting up the eventual defeat of Germany by the Allied armies. Speaking of costs, what happened to the forecast of the national debt being wiped out by 2015? Who squandered all that money? It sure wasn't the illegal aliens. What drove the housing prices up so high that the average American can no longer afford to buy a home?
There are a lot more problems facing us, as a Nation. Problems more pressing and important then illegal immigration.

Answer 3

Simple answer: No. Nor can we afford the billions the US government spends fighting the war in Iraq each year.

Answer 4

It has to be cheaper to deport them! Maybe if we drop them off at the southern tip of Mexico it will help.

They are a terrible drain on California. There simply aren't enough honest people to support all of the crooks.

Answer 5

No we can't afford Illegal Aliens (Immigrants) And I feel that money would be better spent elsewhere. Or even just lowering our taxes.

Answer 6

Well, the illegals cause the devastating effects on the middle class.

Answer 7

No, we can not, we need enforcement of all our immigration laws.
