The United States is becoming OVERPOPULATED! Yes, it's hard to believe but the fact is that this country has doubled its population during just the last 50 years... from 150 million to over 300 million (actually perhaps even more because we don't even know how many people are here illegally). Based on current trends, the country will again double its population in less than 50 years (over 600 million). There will be a shortage of water, electricity, and other vital resources. We need to put a cap on "legal" immigration to about 100,000 per year and strictly enforce out laws by no longer allowing illegals into the United States. Or, we can become a "third world country". By the way, welcome to the United States... and thanks for taking the time and effort to do it legally. We're still a great country, you're gonna love it!

This is a huge debate question, I don't treat illegal's in a "mean way" I just mind my own business, but in my opinion I don't agree with it. I pay taxes in every penny I make, I have been doing this since the first day I have worked. Ilegal's receive benefits and help from our country but don't contribute to the pot, you should put in before taking out. If you are just visiting you know, it's different, but if an immigrant wants to make a life here, become legal - what's the deal? That's what I don't understand. Our goverment and people have worked hard to get these benefits and to live in this country, if anyone else wants to they need to do the same. I am very grateful I was born in this country and am heartbroken over what happens in other countries, but you need to become legal to live here is the basic thing. There's so much on this topic, this is just the tip of the iceberg for real.

look buddy I was born in Italy
1998 I move LEGAL"to New York City
I do my job and fill up all immigration forms
for 7 years I work like a dog then my family
decide to move to Arizona because after 9/11
New York change alots.
My impact with America people are different case to case
I made good friends with liberal ideology
and I made enemy with tough cookies ideology
for them everybody have an accent or they
can't speak a good english are the enemy
I have 5 street-fights when I was in New York for that
then I realise is stupid to fight against this assholes
cause you can't change them anyway!!!
Now I'm American "ItaloAmerican" and I don't like
people cheating on the immigration law because
is not right in the same time I hate Americans
racism against illegal immigrants because is not
a good way to be "bad Americans" no solutions!
but you have to very careful to judge America people
not just because someone act like an idiot are all the same.
I speak with illegal immigrants in the street of New York
I ask to show me and permit to work in this country
they show me an labor union I tell them that is not
a permit to work in US then I tell them if you are illegal
in this country you are nothing and I suggest to start the process
in order to obtain the legal right to be a legal resident
they all smile on me that is mean they can't do that
or they believe the immigration system will never give to them
what they need to become a legal immigrants go figure it out!!!
Personally I never have any problems with the US immigration system of course need time and patience
now if Mexicans they feel be treat badly cause the anger
of America people well is your fault.
do what you gotta do and get the document you need
look the situations in this way when you finally
obtain the US citizenship and some low life
tell you go back where you come from just because
you still have your foreign accent
you can say to him to get lost before you break his nose!!!

Evidently, you lack the knowledge of truth, there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of immigrants that have came to the USA, and made it their home honestly. It has also been a destination for many immigrants to visit. But, the illegal undocumented immigrants poses some National security risk, economic disarray, by not working legally and paying their share of taxes, and NOT being identifiable by our Government. Instead, they come to the USA, for the government to raise their kids and themselves, by use of false identitys. They are lazy, uneducated, and be stills a financial hardship on every tax paying American, they are part of the reason for our taxes being increased, services overwhelmed, and crime on the rise. We don't appreciate those who take, without asking first,period. Try getting a grant to enter the US, I bet you will find this country to be a fantastic place to live and raise a family. But, those ahead of you whom had done it illegally, had set some hardening in peoples heart, by their protests, demands, and thinking that the Americans cannot live without them, what a frikin joke!

1) Because they are ILLEGAL!!! They just sneak across the border. The US has no way to track them.
2) They do not go through the proper channels in order to become American citizens. Millions of other immigrants came to the US to get a better life too, but they adapted to the American way of life and became citizens!
3) They do not even learn English. We have Spanish TV and radio stations and links on websites to translate into Spanish. Why should we cater to them when they don't even try to learn English???? Others who came into this country learned English! Also, schools, hospitals and police departments have to teach their employees Spanish. This takes money away from other resources.
4) They hurt the US Economy. They ship most of the money they earn back to their native country.
5) They don't pay taxes.
6) They don't have any medical insurance or benefits. So in order to cover the costs of this, American's cost increase. So technically we are paying for illegal's health care.
7) They decrease the property values of houses because they do not keep the houses here in good condition like there hard working neighbors do.
8) They bring crime and drugs into the US
9) They don't respect American laws or Amerian citizens

oh lord no! For the most part Americans love having new cultures and immigrants come to our country, we have a "fascination" with them. But when they come ILLEGALLY, is where we get irked. Before 9/11 nobody really cared. But then 9/11 happened and all the revelations about the ones here illegally that our govt. knew about but couldn't necessarily locate. So we have had to become more vigilant to ward off future attacks from within our own borders. Granted the mexicans and cubans are paying the biggest price, but that is only because they represent the largest group of illegal immigrants. Then you have to take into acct. the terrorist groups that have used their borders to enter our country for these same reasons.
So hey if you are here Legally, then WELCOME.

To all the comments above. Wow, Illegals are criminals. Law breakers arent criminals. So you would be a criminal if you ran a stop sign? Yeah who is the criminal here. Americans are the ones that sell fraud car insurance to people who try to get pass the law. Welfare? Without a social security # I dont believe you can apply for welfare. If that wasnt true then why are we Americans aided these "criminals" . So we Americans are actually helping the stay here. We complain about all the illegals do but yet aid them. Contradicting ourselves dont you think? I would say yes.

Because a lot of people are afraid of the vicious gangs that the illegals bring with them, or join like MS13, etc.
Personally I always noticed that the longer an illegal was in our country, the worse their attitude got. When they first got here the pollos were very meek and looked down at the ground when you checked them.. After awhile they get bolder and bolder because they know the American laws don't do anything to them for being here illegally.
I think the ones who come here to work hard and support their families like my friend Marcos from Mexico City are great and I will do what I can for them. The others should just go back, but their government doesn't want trouble makers and encourages them to leave.
Why is it Mexico agitates us to change the laws on illegal immigration, but imprisons people who come there illegally? Mexico has some of the most anti-immigrant laws in the world.

We love our immigrants, because out ancestors were all immigrants at one time or another. We hate illegal immigrants because we have to pay for them.
They abuse our welfare system that we pay into by getting up and going to work every day, while they move 30 people into a 3 bedroom house, each collecting welfare checks for free, and thus driving down the property value in those neighborhoods.
They bring added crime to our country by smuggling drugs, stealing, gang activity, etc.
They demand rights, but are not members of our country. This is our country, and it's rich because of the way we run it, but they want us to change it to accommodate them, so our country will be messed up too.
Our teachers have to take English As A Second Language class now, and us tax payers have to pay for it. We speak English here. They should learn it themselves rather than forcing us to speak their language.
I could go on and on, but in a nutshell, they are here illegally and they are making demands while living off of my income. I do not hate individuals, and I know we have some really nice illegals that contribute to America and respect what we stand for. Unfortunately, that is not the norm.

im happy that you will get the chance to come and visit but to answer your question yes people are mean here they dont care if you are legal or not cause they all (good part ) judge only by the color of your skin they think because your are hispanic you are illegal and you are treated as such. i have a spanish last name for my husband is from honduras and i can talk to someone over the phone and get treated one way for they think i am hispanic myself but then i could go to the very same company i spoke to on the phone and would get a very different responce. its not about who you are anymore its about what you are. good luck on your visit and i hope everything goes well for you.
