Everyone has a different oppinion about this. Some are mad because illegal immigrants that have a hard time finding jobs because they don't speak english or they do have jobs under the table is taking money out of the welfare system that is needed by our citizens. Then back to the job cituation: people feel they are taking jobs from American citizens and yes I know that most of the jobs they fill are jobs we don't want to do but who really wants to do their job? Then you have that some refuse to speak English in public and it makes people think they are talking about them. I could probably go on all day with the differing opinions but the thing that should count and does not is the only true Americans are the American Indians. All the rest of us had ancestors in the same situation as the illegal immigrants of today. Most Americans don't want them and most of the Indians didn't want us and life goes on. People need to get over it and just focus on not letting the criminals into the country. Send them packing and no I do not consider them coming into the country as being a criminal. They are just trying to provide a better life for themselves and most of the time their families too. We do need some controls put on it but how can we being from ancestors that came here from another country deny someone else the same opportunities our families were able to enjoy.
My Great Grandfather came from Germany during WWI and faught for this country and passed this tradition to his son (my Grandfather) who also faught in WWI and faught/trained during WWII. I am very greatful for the opportunity given to my ancestors so that I may grow up here. We are not a perfect society but I could not immagine growing up anywhere else.

Because it is necessary to abstract humans and all life in order to maintain our present life style. And, people have been told a pack of lies to lead them the way they want them led. There is nothing wrong with what an illegal wants to do, they are just trying to make a living like the rest of us. They are ordinary humans as are most Americans. The problem is that many Americans are not being hired because there are many American businessmen, mostly republican, who wish to hire illegals, pay them very low wages, collect the taxes and pocket them, and make a much bigger profit than if they hired Americans to do the same work. This is against our law, but those in power don't want to punish the employers. Rather, they
say this is the problem of illegals in our country. If there were no jobs for illegals because the employers were getting fined and/or jail time, no illegals would come here. So it is necessary to not think of illegals as human beings. If we did, it would be very difficult to continue thinking this way as it would have americans feel too much and the policy would have to change.

I'm all for immigrants, even illegal ones as long as they;
-Have a desire to be an American, not a displaced foreigner in this country.
-Speak English or attempt to.
I know illegals and I wouldn't turn them in because they trying to become Americans and more power to them. They work hard and are not taking advantage of this country.
I speak Spanish but I don't converse in it if the person hasn't tried to learn or speak English first.

Why? Are you like the designated Moses for the Mexican tribe that has been enslaved in their own country their whole lives. What about the Americans here that are suffering and they are legal citizens. What do you want from us to not help our own first? Try looking around your own American neighborhood and help out a fellow human being as well.

My beef is with the 'ILLEGAL' part. I do not care what part of the world you come from. Just fill out your paperwork like the LEGAL immigrants. Mexico is trying to dump their surplus population, so why not obey the law and fill out the forms and do it right. Legals can and do earn more than illegals. They are hurting themselves by screwing themselves out of higher legal paydays. One of the reasons that America has become the worlds immigration magnet is the result of our being a nation of law and order. So the first thing on their mind is to break the law by not playing by the rules like so many others before them.
