to stay here in this country and reap the benefits of taxpayers? They may or may not be hard working, but is it fair to get free healthcare, foodstamps, and take our jobs when they are not legal citizens? Is it fair they don't learn the language and we have to learn theirs? Is it like someone breaking into your house and do the laundry and dishes and make the beds and then demand money for it? Demand to be put on your healthcare? Demand that you learn to communicate with them? Let this be known that I am not a racist. I am a working mom of 2 and my husband works and we struggle to make ends meet, with no help from our government. But I am maybe a little concerned for my children's future. And the future of this country.

I don't agree with Mom Madness.
I believe that if these people unite in their own countries as they have here then they can impact their own government.
AS A TAX PAYING AMERICAN I should not have to pay for someone who entered this country illegally. I understand being compassionate, but you must look at the bigger picture. If we continue to give citizens of other countries benefits that need to go towards Americans and our children and our childrens children. What will be left?
We as a nation are foolish to think that we can continue to allow illegal workers into this country at the expense of Americans. Corporate america makes a killing with these workers which in alot of cases ARE doing jobs that americans will do. Americans will do construction, landscaping, factory etc at a fair wage.
Illegal immigration is a problem bottom line. And it is taking a toll on hospitals and schools. If you don't believe it, go to an area where there is a large amount of illegals and watch how our children are hendered because teachers are busy trying to get NON speaking children to comprehend the lesson(s). And I know this for a fact because my sister and I have several friends that are school teachers.
And illegals do get SS benefits. IF YOU STEAL a SS#, that means your paying into SS and therefore you will reap SS benefits. And they (government) are considering giving benefits to illegals after 18months of being here. And Americans have to wait 10 years??????
We are indeed heading for 3rd World status.

NO!! But this applies to all illegal’s, not just those from Mexico The healthcare system should be for emergences only. I have lived in other countries and guess what; I tried to learn the language of the country I was in. I never got to where I could discuss world events but I learned enough to function. Having been in the Navy I have had the opportunity to live and visit other countries. I always tried to learn something even if it was only yes, no and thank you. You would be amazed how those simple words can break the ice or keep you from getting onto trouble. At a bare minimum it shows the residents of your host country that you respect them. In this country there is no official language, that has to be changed. The “PC” attitude that has infected our country has gone on for too long. Why are we spending our tax dollars on multi-language pamphlets, handbooks and other official forms? What’s next text books, oh wait I think we already have that, at least here in Southern California with these Spanish emersion classes. Print it in ENGLISH only. Then charge for translation services, but offer ENGLISH as a second language for FREE. I have no problem with welcoming new residents to our country, I believe that it makes us stronger and gives us insight into how things can be done differently, but they should learn our language ENGLISH and things about our country. Don’t come here saying you want what we have to offer, take it and then spit in our face.
Canada is a nice country, but it is a country that is divided and will never be a true world power because they speak two different languages English and French. We are headed in that same direction with English and Spanish. If you want a well run, well defended country then you need a common (official) language that everyone is FLUENT in.
If you look at the Bible you find that when the people were one and their language was one, then there was nothing that they could not accomplish. That is until the confusion of tongues, or multi-language. With a single voice (language) we can accomplish almost anything.

the main serious techniques that the human beings can try against international warming is getting rid of their older variety autos (1979 Buick) through fact, older autos emmitt greater poisonous fumes into the air. Its glaring that the greater technological stepped forward a motor vehicle is, the less risky gases it emmitts. A motor vehicle that substitute into equipped 3 or 4 years in the past would be greater financial equipment friendly than a motor vehicle that substitute into assembled 35 years in the past. for top populated cities which incorporate manhattan, Bus and Taxi companys could replace modern autos with autos that are powered by hydrogen or electrical energy. merely think of, if each considerable city used the Toyota Prius as taxi's, there may be a decreased point of toxins, and likewise taxi fares could be especially decrease to boot.

we are all illegal. indians never gave us this country nor were they paid for it....not to mention the fact that mexicans are indians too.....yep, lst cousins to the indians, which in my view gives them more rights to be here then any other group of people. Also they too are struggling to make ends meet and they also have children and are concerned about their future.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?? WHEN AND WHY DID WE TURN INTO SUCH SELFISH PEOPLE!? Whatever happened to "love thy neighbor as thy self??"
GREED AND SELFISHNESS was one of the causes of the "FALL OF ROME." History can and does repeat itself.
The Statue of Liberty STILL have written on its plaque...
"Bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath
free, the wretched refuse of our teeming shore: send these, the homeless,
tempst tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
Finally, this country is a melting pot for all people and all languages. WE DO NOT HAVE a LEGAL LANGUAGE IN AMERICA. BROKEN-ENGLISH is widely spoken, but we do not speak ENGLISH. Why did the slaves have to give up their language.....why didn't the slave owners learn to speak the African Language. Language is the most important thing to a group of ANY PEOPLE, it identifies who you are and from where you come. Sadly, most AFRICAN AMERICANS may never know their orgin or roots. I do hope that doesn't happen to Mexicans! However, I believe they should learn Broken English, IF they choose to, but not forced. I don't believe we should be forced to learn Spanish but it wouldn't hurt to have a second language.....most people except we Americans do have a second language. To say people are AMERICANS only says what their nationality is, but not what their ethnic group is. We shouldn't be considered racist if we are proud to be who and what we are so I don't think you are racist I just think you are thinking ONLY of YOU and yours. We are all God's children, none better than the other, none more deserving than the other. When we learn THAT, that is when we will be at peace and we will be able to find ways to get along with those different from ourselves.
peace

I too am very concerned about the future of my children.Their education is suffering because we are too busy worrying about the people who are here who can't speak English.My child's education should not have to suffer for those who don't belong in this country.
What really concerns me is the American people who are turning a blind eye to the problems these people are causing in this country.
Yes,they do get benefits.Yes,they do get free health care.Free housing..yup.Why can't people see that all they need is an anchor baby or a fake SS# and they can get anything they want.Yet,when one of our own citizens needs some help,they get turned away.
Our country will be lost if something doesn't change.

I think we need to stop catering to them. I do realize that most of us are offspring of immigrants, but they came here legally and proudly became citizens. I can trace my ancestry back to England, and relatives who fought in the Revolutionary War. They fought to make this country what it is. I am proud to call myself an American, but I am losing that pride when wherever I go in my county I have to put up with Hispanics. Our crime rate has risen so much even in the last few years, and when you read the local paper about drugs, rape, or murder, probably 90% of the offenders are Hispanic. They also keep having children which we are forced to educate. Bush claims that they help our economy, but how much of each illegal dollar they earn here goes back to Mexico?

I am more than just a 'little' concerned for my children's future, particularly their heavily impacted education, but then I live in LA, and you may be in an area that isn't quite as badly impacted, yet.
However, I do have to point out that saying something 'illegal' is 'allowed' is a bit of an oxymoron. I only wish the enforcement arm of immigration saw it so.

They act like they are owed something. All illegals want to talk about is how they have more opportunities in America. If so then why the hell was it that those dumbasses had their dumbass marches in America. Then had the nerve to wave their mexican flags. I mean if they loved it so much why didn't they march there? Nobody gives a damn about what they want. Their opinion doesn't even matter. They can't vote. All they do is steal our identities so they can get what they want. They are all a bunch of crooks wanting to leach off of our government because their piss poor government can't afford to do anything for its own citizens. I hope we get approval to build a wall similar to the Berlin wall with armed gaurds who have the authority to shoot down anyone who intends to enter our country illegally. There is a process to enter and become a citizen legally. They need to quit trying to take the easy way out. Celebrate your Mexican pride in your own country
