Answer 1

: Prior to 1965 when the disastrous Immigration Bill was passed, there was very little immigration. In fact, between 1925 and 1965, there was even a period of net emigration out of the United States. During this time, our grass was getting cut, our meat was being packed, our children were being watched and our houses were being cleaned. The idea that somehow we suddenly can't run a country without an unlimited supply of foreigners is absurd.

Those in favor of foreign labor are corporations who are addicted to cheap labor. They are the ones who are benefiting. But their benefit comes at the American tax payer's expense when you consider that the American tax payer is virtually subsidizing the labor costs of the greedy corporations by supplying the illegal foreign workers and their families with welfare, free education, free medical, WICs, housing assistance, etc. -- something the corporations won't do.

Americans won't allow themselves to be exploited like illegals do, but they WILL do the work that illegals do for fair compensation and benefits. If Americans did the work that illegals do at higher pay, would that benefit the consumer? You bet it would in the long run. But many Americans who do not care about America's future are consumers who favor the idea of exploiting illegal workers because it keeps commodity and service prices down in the short term.

Answer 2

I don't think your a German your a Mexican that just want more Mexicans here whether they are criminals or not, you see no evil in amnesty because your a Mexican, amnesty just encourages more illegal to come illegally, and waite for the next amnesty, and not just Mexicans, other illegal from other countries are coming and waiting for the next amnesty, we have a right to say who comes here and who stays, if everyone thought the way you do, their would be no immigration policy at all, and millions of Chinese and Koreans and others would swarm this country and you would probably loose you job and if you have kids they would have no future. This country would fall from the invasion of the poor and illiterate, and our prison system and schools would totally break, our courts would break down we could not contain the laws and the government of this country. You my friend are not the kind of people we need in this country. You would have this country over ran with every illegal from every country, and set us up for distruction. That is why every country has immigration laws, to protect their citizens and their nation.

Answer 3

PS In a Hispanic advocacy paper I read the statistic that a third of the illegal immigrants here today are related to those who were given amnesty in 1986. It created a 'base' for more who thought it was just fine to do that to come. The advocacy group was arguing that the problem was in not making absent family automatically legal too, but that is not what I took from it.

Answer 4

Because they rewarded illegal behavior with citizenship. It was supposed to be an END to illegals comming here. People back then knew it was a bad move but they went ahead and did it and look where we are now? You must live in a nice little gated community along with the rest who don't see whats going on. You got Pedro mowing your lawn and he's such a nice man. Probably is......problem is too many aren't and it's destroying entire towns and communities. Laws are no good unless they are enforced and they haven't been enforcing our laws. I pity this country in 20 more years if they grant amnesty this time.

Answer 5

The highest crime rate in history would be my first guess. And it's getting even worse now. Deportation and or death of the Illegal aliens is OUR American right. Trespassing is against the law.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Americans did their part why didn't Mexico do it's part ?
