What's your oppinion on illegal immigration?

Question

Please tell me how you feel about it! Yay or Nay? What say you?

Answer 1

This should tell you how I feel and it should convince every US citizen to also give a thumbs down and finally start doing something about it. The figures are for LA county but any large hipanic poulated city has similar figures.

From the L.A. Times

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people)

are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are

predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.



2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.


3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.


4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien

Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.



5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers

are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.


7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles

are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.


8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.


9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.


10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English.

3.9 million speak Spanish.

(There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County).

(All the above data from the Los Angeles Times)

******

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops,

but 29% are on welfare.

Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth

(and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York )

results from immigration.

The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was,

(after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION/

year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ]. The lifetime

fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average

adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.

29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

If they can come to this country to raise Hell and demonstrate by

the thousands, WHY can't they take charge over the corruption

in their own country?

We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.

Answer 2

Punishments for illegals should be fairly harsh (not capital, physical or anything just no exceptions deportation). However, processes for becoming legal immigrants should be easier. People should be able to come here, work, pay the same taxes and play by the same rules as everyone else here. I know there's no federal official language, it's the states' decisions, but I do think it's important for the citizens of a country to speak the same language and be able to communicate efficiently. I would support the requirement of immigrants to learn some English, but it should be a decision that remains in states' hands and not the federal government.

Answer 3

I think the agencies who enforce laws against illegal immigration, have apparently been asleep at the wheel. Either they were told to not do their jobs or their just plain incompetent. If it is through their inability that the job was not done, they should be placed before a firing squad and executed. If they were held back by superior agencies, the members of the agencies should be executed. As for the illegals, to this time, they should be shipped back to Mexico. In the future they should be shot the minute they enter The United States.

Answer 4

Smoking, growing, or distributing marijuana is illegal in the United States. Operating a vehicle within a state without an authorized license or insurance is illegal in the United States. A business operating in a city, county, or state without the proper licensing is illegal. Teachers in the U.S. are required to be certificated and licensed by states to teach. Doctors are subject to licensure. Firemen, policemen, beauticians, and barbers are required, and subject to licensure.

Homeland Security needs to concentrate on illegal immigrants as adamently as they do on searching the contents of the luggage of legal citizens of the United States.

The U.S. Department of Education, along with each states' education department could be more vigilant about accepting children of illegal aliens into U.S. public schools. This is not going to happen, though, because public schools receive Federal funds for their schools based upon daily attendance. Public schools receive more Federal funds if they can document minority (Native American, African-American, and Spanish-speaking) students.

As a teacher in the public school system of the United States, I find the position of the U.S. government abhorent, and hold our representatives responsible for the demise and destruction of the public school system in the U.S.

Answer 5

My feeling is just that, they are illegal immigrants, openly breaking our laws. I say laws, cus they do not in most cases just break 1 law 1 time. Most after being here illegally, then use a fake or stolen ID, next most use A fake or stolen SS card. Then if they get caught, and sometimes deported, in days they are right back, and start their law breaking ways all over.

Answer 6

Yay. I support illegal immigrants because I know what it's like in their shoes. My father came here illegally 20 years ago and if it wasn't for what he'd done, well I wouldn't be here. So, that's why I adamantly support them. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't.

Answer 7

Nay , I'm against . The borders should be closed and every ones
I D checked be for they come in or out of the US . We have to know who is entering and leaving this country before we can be safe as a country .
Mike C : where can I get a copy of those statistics ?

Answer 8

I favour open borders between Canada, America and Mexico. I would scrap free trade, though.

The real problems in Mexico are rooted in economic troubles, a vicious class system, the drug trade, pollution and a lack of human rights. There is a rebellion in Chiapas by the Zapatistas, threatening to overturn the government of Vincente Fox. I favour arresting their leaders and then going into negotiations with more moderate representatives at the community level, after calling a ceasefire.

Answer 9

It is againast the law. The only way to stop it is to quit deporting them back to their home. First offense, deport them to another country (example: send the Mexicans to Nigeria-let the Nigerians deal with them). Second offense, 5 years hard labor, then deport them further away.

Answer 10

I am tired of my government not enforcing the law. This practice cannot be tolerated.

Typical reactionary government. (Ooops, too late again. That will cost us another few hundred $billion extra. Too bad.)

Incompetence reigns in government.
