What is your opinion on illegal immigration?

Answer 1

I think it is wrong because it breaks the law, but in the other hand, there are ppl who starve in their countries, who have a family, and one thing that many ppl don't know, is that most of the illegal immigrants tried to do it the right way, but because of their social status in their country, their own country denied them a VISA, or any other necissary permissons to cross. So literaly they are between the wall and a sword.

Answer 2

I don't care where they came from, what color they are, or even if they are gay, it makes no nevermind to me, but the fact that they are "illegal" immigrants is enough to piss me off. If you want to come to this country, wait your turn, pay your taxes and learn english, is that too much to ask for? People say that we are all immigrants, and that may be true, but if all these people have done it lawfully, why cant the ones who want to be citizens do the same? Also, to those who say the native americans have the same argument must remember that the world was a different place back then. Its sad but true.

Answer 3

That answer has been in for a long time. All the facts CLEARLY indicate that there is nothing positive about illegal immigration.

There is nothing cheap about labor that costs about 20 billion dollars a year more than they contribute. Next to oil, Mexico's largest income producer is from illegals sending money home.

Despite what that idiot Feinstein has to say they do NOT hide in the shadows. I see them every day without having to look for them.

My opinion? Deport them all upon discovery. Try those that aid and abet (that would include Bush and all the illegal supporters in the congress) and throw them in a Mexican prison.

Answer 4

First off let me state that I'm half hispanic so I can avoid the whole "you're being racist" thing...

Our border along Mexico has become very porous and lawless. It's this lawlessness that makes me angry. I'm sure plenty of illegals just come over with good intentions but there are also ALOT OF CRIMINALS who are taking advantage of our lax border with Mexico.

I was ruthlessly robbed by a couple of illegal Mexicans at the antique shop where I worked. This was NOT just a quick grab some cash and run type robbery either. It was what police call a "takeover robbery". I was forced to empty out the register then I was bound and gagged while they took everything they could load into their truck.They even took a freaking bath tub.

So while I think most illegals are not robbers, the system is definitely broken and the US is letting in vicious criminals with no way to track them down.

Answer 5

It's illegal. No doubt there. People who come to the US and get an education need to go back and make changes in their country. It would mean a revolution for Mexico. Mexicans have a responsibility to resolve the desperate circumstances in their native country. The day is coming when they will not be allowed to continue to drain our resources. We have been and continue to be generous. But we have reached our limit.

Answer 6

They are knowingly, and openly breaking our laws, not only that of being here illegally, but also knowingly using stolen ID and SS cards to get jobs and other things. Illegal immigration must be stopped.

Answer 7

I think the U.S. should fix it's immigration system that way people can come here legally Americans don't seem to realize that if you are from certain countries such as Mexico it is almost impossible to come to the U.S. legally so I personally think that the U.S. needs to fix it's immigration system and as for the undocumented immigrants who are already in the U.S. they should be given a path to citizenship.

Answer 8

It is driven by the need for labor in the United States. If there wasn't the need for labor, there would be no "illegal immigration". I believe that our immigration laws need to be updated to allow more people in to fulfill out needs--while helping them to live dignified lives, not always on the margins.

Answer 9

It's bad, obviously. Illegal aliens are slowly ruining this country. The sad thing is, no politicians will do anything about it. Unfortunately, we have a President who continues to ignore the problem. To make matters worse, the next President will probably be a democrat who gives all the illegals amnesty, further encouraging more illegals to cross the border. We, as a country, are doomed.

Answer 10

I am against it! They should all be rounded up & sent home! What is to keep a terroist from crossing those same boarders? If we can't keep illegals out; we can't keep anyone out. No one who comes into this country illegally should be allowed to stay. Anyone who hires them without the proper paper work should be sent to jail & fined like crazy! Our boarders are too open, even the one with Canada. Canada is our friend & we don't want to keep them out but something has to give here.
