For Amnesty???

Question

Mexicans that have been here for 2 years or better, speak,read & write English, have no criminal record (here or there), have steady employment should be given amnesty. We seem to always forget that some parts of the US once belonged to Mexico. Stop being such racists!
Then build a fence or whatever.
Mexicans work hard & contribute to this country whether you like it or not. Who agrees???

Answer 1

i agree, i'm brazilian on same situation. we are hard working people just striving for a better future. i've been here for 10 years, i pay my taxes, insurance and all the same crap americans do. even though we may not deserve everything americans do, it doesn't mean we have to be treated like aninals. we are not trying to make this country worse, we actually help this country alot. we do the kinda of work americans don't want to be doing. this country is made with immigrants. ins't this why this is called the land of hope?

Answer 2

First of all....you are the racist for implying that mexicans have some sort of right to be here just because they are mexicans. In case you don't know, the term La Raza, by the nature of how it is inflected means in english, "The Master Race" similar to how the nazis used to mean it. Be very, VERY careful of who you associate with chica. These are very, VERY bad people who hate you for racial reasons.

Second of all, illegals who come here are mostly here to commit crime, particularly violent crime. This is easily seen in crime statistics. Although illegals are about 4% of our population, they make up 40% of the prison population. In places like california, 90% of the felony fugitive arrest warrants are for illegals (note that mexico refuses to extradite criminals to the US) while 95% of the murders are committed by illegals. This is extremely strong evidence that the average illegal alien is a hardened, violent criminal, usually associated with a paramilitary drug gang. Also note that less than 5% of illegals work at any type of gainful employment (besides dealing drugs I mean). The way you portray the issue of illegals is hopelessly distorted. Amnesty for these people is irrelevant. They simply aren't interested in this country other than as a source of victims. In this way, illegals are FAR different than legals. Legals are pretty much the same, criminalitywise as the rest of the US population.

Which brings up the issue of legal immigration. We let in over 1 million a year. This is over 10 times the amount that came here during the great migration part of american history when our country overflowed with immigrants. That's an insane amount that should probably be slashed to a fraction of that. But the point is that it is so easy to come here as an immigrant that no one who wants to, finds that they can't and hence, has to come here illegally.

Which brings up the issue of amnesty. Since there are few to none who would use amnesty, the issue is a red herring for those who do not want to control our border for various sinister reasons. But, what you obviously don't know is that amnesty, of the type they keep talking about, is already de facto in place. Any illegal without an extensive violent, criminal background can normalize his status at any time and eventually seek citizenship and cannot be turned down. What you propose above ALREADY EXISTS!

Answer 3

There ARE NO Mexicans that have been here for 2 years or better that can speak, read, and write English, have no criminal record (here or there) and have steady employment. Sorry, but those people don't exist. There is no such thing. Where exactly do you live anyways? And....we will stop being racist when THEY stop being racist. If they hate Americans so much, they have no business being here.

Answer 4

I've worked with Mexicans that have been here for 10 years+ and they still can't speak English.It is not racist to expect someone coming to live in this country to adapt and assimilate to our way of life.That would mean being able to communicate in English,not live in a camp,and pay taxes. Giving amnesty would be a joke,they are undocumented,how can they really prove they have been here more than 2 years?All you would have is more Mexicans jumping the border and saying they have been here 2 years or more.Good plan.

Answer 5

Are you nuts? People have to wait YEARS after they have been here LEGALLY before they can become citizens. You want to move these illegal alien criminals to the head of the line?

We don't need these criminals. Our economy is just fine without them. Don't call be a racists just because I want people to obey our laws. Build an electric wall to help keep them out. Nail the employers. DON'T give the criminals amnesty.

OK - have it your way - all Mexican citizens that are here that can "speak, read & write English." That cuts out most of them. No criminal record - that eliminates the rest since they are all criminals for being here.

Answer 6

Opposing illegal immigration is NOT racist. These people entered the country ILLEGALLY for their own advantage, cheated taxpayers out of tax dollars, and have no interest in becoming citizens. If they DO want to become citizens, then they should be subject to all fines and penalites for breaking our immigration laws and some accounting for all the back taxes they DID NOT pay.

There should NEVER even be any discussion of any sort of amnesty; it only encourages MORE illegal immigration.

Answer 7

yep the Mexican's also get on free Medicade, and obviously think that they don't have to pay bills like all the other people because...THEY SEEM NOT TO EXIST IN THE US!!!! go get a job like everyone else, earn some money, and go in through the US LEGALLY! oh and about the part where u said if they didn't have a criminal record, well illegals DO because they went into the US illegally! CRIMINAL RECORD!!!duh.

Answer 8

I disagree, and I thank you for the soapbox speech and the blind accusation of bigotry.

I'm not a racist, and my opinions have nothing to do with anyone's ethnicity, race, or anything like that. It has to do with the law.

I don't feel that illegal immigrants should be offered any form of amnesty, because it only serves to condone illegal behavior and punish those that have done things legally from the beginning. The law is the law, and it should not be changed just to satisfy the absurd belief that it's a "race issue".

If I worked illegally for two years and was suddenly caught by the IRS, they wouldn't be offering ME amnesty, and I was born in the country.

Answer 9

Yes, that's fair to let them bypass the people trying to do it legally. The very first thing these people did was to break the law. I don't know what illegal immigrants you know but the ones here can't speak English, we spend a lot of money trying to teach them, get free health care and do not pay taxes. They are using valuable resources and its ridiculous. The legal immigrants do not want them here and neither do most people.

Nobody is saying they're bad people because most of them are good people, but they don't belong here. If they want to come here, they need to wait in line just like everyone else.

Answer 10

Not too long ago, the Prime Minister of Ireland met with Bush and asked him to help the large number of Irish illegals in th US.

How come nobody complains about the Irish.

Somebody will say it's because there aren't as many. But aren't these the same people that attack Hispanic illegals for not obeying the law they so religously protect?
