What is your viewpoints on deporting Illegal Immigrants and why?

Question

Tell me why specifically!

Answer 1

Toscano - I wish everyone who criticizes "illegals" could read your story. Thank you to your family for doing this work so Americans don't have to trouble themselves.

It amazes me why people are so against "illegals" when they do crap work that Americans won't touch, for so much less money - slave labor, really. We ALL have saved money from their labor. Sure, there are some segments of society, particuarly schools and medicine, that have unfairly shouldered the burden of extra clients without sufficient funding, but in the long run, American society benefits, not suffers, from the immigrants here. Do you really want to pay $5.00 for a head of lettuce? $25 for a T-shirt at Walmart? $2 million for a crappy suburban home? You would if the people who pick the food, package and unload the stuff at the store, and build your houses and make the the lawns look nice weren't here. They pay taxes and Social Security which they never get back. The vast majority are extremely hard working people who just want to make a living under incredibly hard conditions.

Don't deport illegals - make them legal and pay them fair wages. I can't thnk of one job I have EVER seen that an American would do for the same wages a Mexican would do it for! If the current Administration were really serious about cracking down on them, then they would enforce the existing laws against hiring illegals. They don't. Why? Because fat cat CEOs and the stock market is making oodles of money off them. This business of building a border fence is BS - they'll probably hire Mexicans to build it anyway!

Something has to change about how immigrants are treated; deporting them en masse is not a good solution whatsoever.

Answer 2

Everybody deserves a chance to improve his/her life. ilegal inmigrants wouldn't be ilegals if the governments of the so called first world opened their borders. What is with this strict set of rules? what is wrong with inmigration? The so called pilgrims were ilegal aliens. If the native americansof the time were a little like our actual goverment, there wouldn't be a USA.

All those years the UN and the "first world" tried to bring down the Berling wall and now our government is building one, not only taller but longer. This is calling the kettle Black.

You don't see other countries arguing about how many ilegal aliens they have.

This inmigrants also are part of the economy. Not all are bums and criminals. Those are the ones that should be deported. Not the hard working "citizens"

Answer 3

Yes, certain. The nation must be extra reasonable with its worldwide members of the family making certain to pay reasonable fees for the goods it buys considering USA promotes sweat stores all over the world. This could give up deficient individuals from having to return to the USA watching for an possibility to outlive. And some thing else that USA can do is give up paying wellfare ( that's accumulated through residents handiest, no longer unlawful immigrants ) and cross to paintings the farms, blank bathrooms, cook dinner hamburguers at McDonalds, force taxis, after which the unlawful immigrants shouldn't have a role and could return to their nation. There are greater than 10 million unlawful immigrants on this nation and they're an excessively principal aspect of society and economic climate. You don't desire them to depart.

Answer 4

I don't mind having immigrants here, but they should wait there turn like everyone else. Illegal immigrants should be deported, people have waited months to get over into our country (USA) and it isn't fair to them if we let the illegal immigrants stay. It's like telling a kid to not hit anybody and then turning around and hitting a second later. Mixed messages aren't good.

Answer 5

When they get to the point of deporting, that illegal alien has already done some illegal things. Someone really close to me who works at INS has told me that when the government deports someone, it is warranted. I wish all the good workers could stay and throw all the bums out.

Answer 6

The thing I hate most about this whole illegal immigration debate is the claim that illegal immigrants take away the jobs of U.S. citizens; you are far from right on this one.

To begin with, both of parents were, at one time, illegal immigrants; now they're legal aliens, but both of them swam across the Rio Grande 40 years ago. Why? Because they were starving in Mexico; it's that simple.

Now, my parents have been migrant farmworkers since they came into the country, up until right now. I've worked in the fields as well, and it's not the definition of the "American Dream." You wake up at 4a.m., pack your supplies and lunch, and you work like a dog until the sun sets. We migrated to Minnesota and worked in the sugarbeet fields, enduring the maddening whizz of blood-thirsty mosquitos and flies, swallowed the dust, felt nauseous with the pesticides, ended up with bloody cuts from sharp hoes, and arrived home late in the evening caked with dirt and mud, and bones aching terribly. And the next day, we experienced the fun of doing it again and again until the season was over. But, I think the most horrible, sickening aspect of this work was working in fields near roads and watching the cars go by and those people driving them staring at us, probably thinking, "Dirty Mexicans" to themselves. I was a teenager, and it embarrassed and hurt me that unlike the Anglo, "legal citizens" teenage girls around me, I was not enjoying my summer vacation, going to the lake, getting a tan, or hanging out with my friends.

Before I was born, my father worked in the sewers of Chicago. He had the awesome, inspiring job of clearing **** and muck all day. My 70 year old mother works at a Mexican food restaurant working 10 hour shifts and earning $5.15 dollars an hour. My illegal relatives work construction, clean houses, babysit kids, and cut people's grass.

Honestly, what sane, American citizen truly aspires to have one of these jobs? They're ****; you get paid just enough to not starve to death, there is no opportunity for upward mobility, and you work long hours that hurt your body. If you were born in America, you got the opportunity to finish high school, attend college, and get a "good" job. Now, if you didn't take advantage of the opportunity, that's your fault; don't blame the unadvantaged Mexican who has no formal education if you're competing with him for a minimum-wage, shitty job. You're at fault because you didn't use the opportunities that this country gave you since birth; in fact, that illegal immigrant is smarter than you because they're wisely using the opportunities you dismissed! These illegal immigrants are not swimming across the river and becoming CEO's, computer engineers, doctors, lawyers, professors, customer service technicians, politicians, etc.

Illegal immigration is not going to stop unless something is done to end hunger in Mexico and other countries. And yes, it is partly Mexico's government, but the US government plays an even bigger role. How about the U.S. stops sending maquiladoras to these countries that exploit people and rob Americans of jobs. How about this country stop hoarding the water on the Rio Grande and let Mexico have some of the water. A lot of immigrants are former farmers in Northern Mexico who are losing their crops because they have no water for irrigation.

It's just something to think about; stop blaming immigrants and start looking at things from a different perspective.
