People are afraid and looking for easy answers to the things they see as problems. There is so much going on in the world right now that I think the problems will evolve and change. Soon the immigrant issue will fade while something else is paraded through the media and made the new whipping boy.
Unfortunately, asking the populace to study history and see the facts instead of reacting emotionally doesn't work in cases like this. I think this is a case of mob mentality in a broader, less energetic form.

Well sure. I mean a lot of the words are the same.
The situation isn't the same, though. They don't belong here because they came illegally. Blacks are citizens and belong here (assuming they ARE black citizens and DO belong here - illegal immigration comes in all races, after all.)
They are ruining our schools because there are too many too fast and they are too poor in any event to pay in taxes the $10,000 per child education costs PER YEAR in places like California. The same goes for draining other services we fund for OUR people and for OURSELVES at such time as we may need them. And with the baby boomer generation aging more of OUR OWN will need them, very soon, and what they have been paying into them all of their lives is being given away to foreigners who broke the laws and ignored our limits on poor immigrants to take what isn't theirs.
Look at the facts and stop trying to put this in emotional terms. There are very good reasons every country in the world limits immigration of poor people. The more services for poor people you subsidize, the more poor from poor countries want to come and get subsidized, but the more expensive a drain it is on the host country. Their better life is at the expense of our children's future and our elderly's security.

well when the world stops fighting over religion ,then maybe illegals will be more accepted
Think of it this way would we be aloud to be an illegal immigrant in there country and get away with it ???????? No i think not
so why the hell should we put up with them coming here.not only are the a burden on our economy but also on our health care and welfare system where over 98% of illegals get there money our crime rates raise on average 5% every month due to illegal immigration. our taxes get raised and we pay more for everything

It all seems like a paradox to me. Alot of those overseas countries these immigrants come from these days despise Americans for the most part yet we welcome them here with open arms. I can't help but wonder if we are setting ourselves up for a fall by doing so. This might be our "Achilles heel" in present-day America more so than in the past (as if the long term effects of maltreatment of blacks and natives were not disruptive enough to our culture). I sometimes find it amazing that there has not been much major civil strife in 35 years or so.

let me straighten something out for you...
this 9/11 crap that has been blown allll out of proportion by the press and your government is becoming or rather has become an american obsession....
think of this....how is a migrant worker going to start another 9/11??? You americans blame everything on 9/11....are you going to blame the recent freeze in California on 9/11 too??..
migrant workers are brought in to the US and allowed to come in (by turning a blind eye) so that your fruit and vegetables can be picked in the fields....certainly the good, tax-paying people of the US wouldn't go pick those veggies...it doesn't pay enough..
Do you honestly believe that the only people in the US who evade taxes are migrant workers?...think about that for a second...maybe two..and then answer it for yourself.
Because americans continually considered themselves insulated from the problems of the world....even though you caused many of the problems....americans didn't think they could be "attacked" on home soil...
look what happened at Pearl Harbour !!!
so the WTC attacks on 9-11 were not the first...but they are the first in YOUR memory..
The stupidity of much of the press in the 9-11 attacks AND your own government is shown in a simple statement:
Some of the terrorists came in from Canada.
This statement in itself is true....but HOW did they get INTO the states??? they DROVE accross the border...right PAST YOUR CUSTOMS AGENTS...
SO...is it Canadians' fault?...nope...it's your OWN fault...the border guards let them through without a problem...the reason is: nobody was watching..
I'll let you know another easier way...even SINCE 9-11...
all you need to do is charter a small plane...since there is no scanning or searching of items that go accross the borders when on a chartered aircraft...it goes from one private terminal to another...and a customs agent comes to do a cursory check...
THAT"s going to be the next way that crap happens in the states...and it will be because of your own problematic system.
The government of the day in the US has whipped up the public and everyone in the states wants to get rid of everyone who's "different"....
well...looks like your 300million population just might be down to 10 million...OMG...you'd be smaller than CANADA then...
what would you do THEN??...
Americans by nature are suspcious...and bullies...
so...go ahead..kick all the "different" people out....and break your constitution...and change what your country was built on..
forget your past...live for today..
and let's see then what comes of mom and apple pie..

It's a double standard.
For the first time in history it is becoming common for Americans to move over seas for work. But you know what? Not every country is willing to welcome us.
Why hire an American when their native workers are known to excell in that field? Why battle a language barrier when you can just hire a local.
America isn't at a point where it can be self sufficant. We rely greatly on other countries for the things we need. Goods, raw materials... Workers.
Do you also think we should stop imports and exports? Because what are people except just another good to be traded and shipped?

Your use of the racist N word offends me.
Black people were enslaved and forced to come to this nation
When the people of this nation could not tolerate the slavery of others they rose up and helped the black slaves obtain freedom.
And civil rights.There is absolutely no comparison to people kidnapped and taken to a distant land and enslaved.And the illegal alien that comes here on his own free will illegally and then compounds his crime by working illegally in this nation.No one forced them to come ,no one forces then to accept low wages.Its their choice and any time they want they can return to their own country.Legal immigrants are welcome and accepted.Illegal aliens are now.Do not compare the three they are as different as night and day.
All legal black people are 100% Americans,legal immigrants are or will be 100% Americans.
Illegal aliens are criminals and need to go back to their own country's.FACTS not emotion and rhetoric.Its also to aid and abet an illegal alien.A federal crime.
Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:
* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or
* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime. Anyone employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying his or her work authorization status is guilty. Aliens and employers violating immigration laws are subject to arrest, detention, and seizure of their vehicles or property. In addition, individuals or entities who engage in racketeering enterprises that commit (or conspire to commit) immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief.

our country wants people to come here under legal circumstances, its the ones who are here illegally that are causing the problems because people believe they are draining the economy and not contributing to it. That is where the problem lies today.

African Americans didn't choose to come here....Africans sold them to Americans and they were brought here against their will....They deserve to be treated as equals.....Illegal immigrants choose to come here even though they know it is illegal.....They choose to break a law and they choose to come here illegally....That is why they should have no rights here.
