Yah... you are trying to sound smart ( or obliteratingly stupid...not sure) but your question is lost in it.

What are you proposing? A Hierarchy within the aliens? A Hierarchy which excludes the aliens? Class division amoungst classes or within?

Put down your thesaurus and just ask the question.

And as far as the "illegals" near the Canadian border...these are pretty much fictitious...for the most part, Canadians DO NOT wish to be Americans, and if we do, we do not cross the border in the middle of the night and settle in Minnesota, we apply for status and move to some where warm.

I don't under stand the question I live in sw az illegals out number citizens two to one or more their in every thing doc offices stores gas co elet ect and they work together like the good old boy net work of the 60's and they take pleasure in putten to the white people they think nothing of putting some thing in your food in a restaurant they have no concept of animals as feeling thinking beings just there for them to abuse,know idea how to throw away trash they think the ground is good enough the wind will take it away ,open discrimination against people who's country they don't even belong in most don't speak English. If they where not thief's cut throats murders and worse they would have learned the language filed the papers and did it right . fact is these are people not wanted in their own country like Castro in the 60's opened the jails and sent them here.. the hospitals are closing because they go there in such numbers and not pay if your hurt and go to the er bring a pillow a couple meals its gonna be a while if your white your last because their family works behind the counter the help meant for our poor and old ect is consumed like meat in a shark tank.our jails are overflowing they have family here probably born here of once illegals a while back so yeah they are a littel uppity mama ran fast enough when she was young to drop on them on this side of the line instant citizen. your taken your life in your hands to walk or drive around here 6 inches at 60+ is plenty of room so what if it 's 25 mph zone. its not in spanish and they would't care if it was.

There should not exist an hierarchy of social class aliens as long as they are here illegally whether it be in the deep south or any other place in America. We Americans have fed our share and paid too much medical expenses for those who cannot or will not do for themselves.

Other than the way all races treat Indians (feather, not dot), the worst modern-day discrimination I've ever seen is the hatred Spanish Americans (descended from Spanish settlers of 300-400 years ago) in the Southwest exhibit towards Mexicans. Why?

To all you whiney people do your research and do the math, I'm not saying open the doors and let them all in, but lets be smart about it, they are not hurting our economy, in fact they have helped and plenished our economy, think how much more we would have in Federal taxes, medicare, and social security if we would stop the people who pay them under the table instead of punishing the illegal who are here now, it would also help us keep a better track of them, think of how it would help with more borad control. Think about it people, the ones here would like to stay here, the ones we are trying to stop from coming in the money would really come in handy. The math is easy!

I got this report from AOL News:
Texas Report: Immigrants Help Economy
By LIZ AUSTIN PETERSON
AP
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A report by the top financial officer of Texas claims illegal immigrants are more a boon to the Lone Star State's economy than a drain, adding another layer to the immigration reform debate.

Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn found that illegal immigrants not only contributed more than $17 billion to the state's economy in the last fiscal year, but that they also pay more than enough in taxes and fees to cover the services they receive.

The report - billed as the first comprehensive analysis by any state financial officer - is being hailed by immigrants' rights groups and panned by foes who question its methodology and contend it was politically motivated.

Strayhorn just lost a bitter battle for governor after running as an independent and has been accused of manipulating state data to make Republican Gov. Rick Perry look bad. Nevertheless, her findings could inject new life in the debate over a national guest worker program, which has stalled despite support from President Bush .

There are an estimated 1.4 million illegal immigrants living or working in Texas, more than any state but California.

Estimates of their impact on the Texas economy have varied widely.

Strayhorn's report said they added $17.7 billion to the gross state product in fiscal year 2005 and produced $1.58 billion in revenues by paying taxes and fees and by playing the lottery. They received $1.16 billion in state services, the report said.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform, which supports tougher border security and an end to illegal immigration , estimated illegal immigration costs Texas $3.7 billion a year. The conservative Lone Star Foundation came up with a similar number in a June report.

In her report, Strayhorn said her estimates differed from the federation's for several reasons. She did not, for example, count the cost of educating the American-born children of undocumented parents.

Calculating the impact of illegal immigrants is "at best an educated guess," she said in the report.

Adrian Rodriguez, a vice president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, said Strayhorn's report backs up his group's long-held assertion that immigrants help the economy.

"We already know ... that an economic benefit exists, it's just been difficult to convey that with the media because of the frenzy from people on the other side of the fence - no pun intended," he said.

But Jack Martin, special projects director for the federation, said Strayhorn's report is "a bit irresponsible" because it doesn't consider the fact that if illegal workers weren't in the jobs they are in, those jobs would be held by legal workers, possibly at higher wages.

Still, Bill Hammond, the president of the Texas Association of Business, said Strayhorn's findings support his group's assertion that immigrants are an essential part of the state's economy. The influential business lobby group wants Congress to pass a guest worker program.

"If somehow these people were to be bused back home tomorrow, our economy would shrink by some 17 billion dollars and that's bad news for every Texan and every business in the state," he said.

Associated Press writer Kelley Shannon contributed to this report.

Actually there is, this stems from skilled labor and wage. Also, those who are bilingual are a bit higher on the totem pole.
