I agree! immigrants are the maids, janitors, sewer cleaners, and air conditioner repair men. so do these true Americans want to take this job? And don't get me wrong, because there are many successfull Mexican immigrants living in America. And the United States really doesn't care about immigrants from England or Germany. "oh, come on over guys!" but oh no, we don't want the "dirty mexicans" screw america.

I have several problems with that. The first is, what jobs at what wages? Given that the federal government requires a minimum wage for all LEGAL applicants, what about those jobs for which minimum wage is already too high?
The second is, i am an American citizen. As a citizen, i am expected to abide by the laws of the country in which i reside, even those laws i personally may disagree with. If i refuse to abide by the law, the government has the power to arrest and imprison me. Why should illegals(criminals) be held to a different standard? I submit that being here illegally is an injustice in itself, particularly to those who obeyed the law and are here as a result of following the legal channels.
Finally, there is not a shred of evidence that the country would come to a halt if it weren't for immigrants, legal or otherwise. Prior to the mass immigrations of Irish and Italians, labor was performed by Americans. There is no reason to believe that labor would go un-done if not for ppl willing to work for less than the legal wage.
Would the price for some goods or services increase as a result? Without doubt. But that may be a reasonable price for making sure that those goods or services are performed by ppl who abide the law and respect their host country enough to do so.

Well you my friend are right in a way but not like you think. They do jobs we won't do for the pay they get. Just wait till the ones with the skills you have start showing up and you either take a cut in pay or Juan takes over for ya. I see it more and more every day. We had one get killed where I work not long ago and why,because he didn't understand the controls written in English and crushed his friend. It very well could have been one of us. The company they worked for needless to say were banned from Government contracts after that as well they should be. Now I would ask what about the guys who were American that are no out of a job because of the illegal act their employer got caught at. I say put troops on the border and shut it down before it's too late. Time is running out!

Nothing is wrong with legal immigrants working. America is based on a long list of immigrants who have helped shape our country. Most believe the problem is with Illegal immigrants who put a drain on our Social Security and medical benefits. Look into immigrating to Mexico, they have stricter standards and laws but we are supposed to take everyone in??? We can't. The U.S. is in a crisis and things do need to change. It doesn't matter if its Mexico, India, Europe...we have to do something now.
Also if you are in this country, learn the language. If you adopt us as your country, then you adopt our language.
I lived in Japan for 5 years, in their country I learned their language and didn't expect them to speak English for me.

That is not so. they do lots of other things. , one of the things is join a gang. Becoming crooks. Not all of them are working. And no one is against immigrants coming into our country legally. Stop talking propaganda. Get an education.

Fairytales can come true, it can happen to you.
Tell that to the Americans that used to support a family doing drywalling til them illegals showed up. Sadly I cannot say what I really want or I would lose my posting account. But just suffice to say, you are a lying bag of pig vomit with that statement.

Please........I'd be more than happy to give it a shot and just see how quickly it does come to a halt. I think you'd find it would go along just fine, just like it always has.

Yes, I am too lazy to work 40 hours for $80.00.
I wouldn't even sleep for that price.
That still doesn't justify breaking the law and illegally entering a country.

It isn't immigrants we want to get rid of, it is illegal immigrants. By the way, on both of your post you have miss spelled won't. While we are getting rid of undesirables, let's get rid of people who can't spell or use proper English

You left out one important word: "Illegal"
The immigrants that come to this country LEGALLY.....fine, let them work all they want.
The ones who sneak into this country ILLEGALLY are cheating the system, taking work away from LEGAL citizens and should be deported!!!!!!!!!!
