should illigal immigrants stay or go in the US?

Answer 1

Go. Leave. Buh-bye. Adios.

Answer 2

GET THE HECK OUT OF HERE! We don't need them. If fact we WILL be much better off. WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

May 1, 2006 proved this. They had a protest that they called "a day without an immigrant." They claimed that the economy would totally shut down and nothing would work - WRONG!!!!!

Businesses functioned properly. Schools may have lost some money because a few kids didn't go to school. Everything was good and even BETTER. Freeways were totally clear during rush hour.

Ya know, they didn't learn. They still think that our economy will collapse. I can't wait for this year's protest!!!

Answer 3

I feel that illegal immigrants should be deported. I have no problems whatsoever with any group of people desiring to live in the U.S., but they have to respect our laws just as all other Americans do. Many Mexicans feel that they have a right to live in
this country (especially in the western states) because they believe that the US never paid Mexico for these territories.

Answer 4

With the construction of the super highway that is coming from mexico, going into texas, through the us, and all the way up into canada, I'm scared to think of what the future will be like in this country. Scary - and I'm very concerned about it. I don't know who is supposed to benefit from it.

Answer 5

As many of us agree, "illegal" means ILLEGAL, so of course they should have to go.

If they have a better life here, they "should" stay as long as the US allows them to stay.

But we cannot just sit and complain about it, we have to DO something about it:
Border Security - keep out anyone who did not follow this country's laws and regulations for being allowed in
Round up and kick out illegals - like any and all crimes, the law must be enforced, need a secure border or they come right back in, in which case penalties should become stiffer and stiffer for every repeat offense
Deny government services to illegals - that's right, no emergency rooms, hospital care, police, firefighters, FEMA, traffic lights, nothing. If you don't pay taxes, you don't deserve any of them, because you are essentially stealing from the people that do.
Punish those who employ, smuggle, and harbor illegals - as with drugs, you have to work on the demand side of the problem too, not just the supply side. Anyone that encourages, profits from, and facilitates illegal activity is an accomplice/co-conspirator and must be punished.

LEGAL IMMIGRATION IS GREAT and what this country is based on. Quality people coming to join our society without excessively draining our resources. We have scarce resources, and cannot allow millions and millions of illegals into our country without eventually getting overwhelmed. Unfortunately, our border cannot be an open door to the rest of the world's billions of unfortunate people. Think about it, without immigration law enforcement, with open borders, how many of the world's poor would flock to live in the United States, and what then would our standard of living be? We would become just another third world country.

THERE needs to be a managed, qualified stream of legal immigration that helps this country strengthen, diversify and grow, of people who are qualified, screened, and meet the necessary standards and requirements. People who appreciate this country and what it stands for and will join in, not invade us in uneducated hordes to stay isolated, overwhelming US culture with their own through sheer force of numbers while taking advantage of government services (police, fire, medical, national security, etc.) without paying taxes.

AND we cannot be hypocrites, and we have to be prepared for the consequences, and we must act before the illegal population is so high that it overwhelms even our political system as their children vote in ever increasing numbers. We cannot make money or save money off of cheap illegal labor, whether it is agriculture, cleaning crews, construction, what have you, and then turn around and complain about higher expenses. Many greedy Americans happily profit off of illegals - Bank of America is now offering credit cards to illegals that have no social security numbers. Cell phone companies and banks are working out a system by which illegals can send money to their home countries via cell phones. Large corporations and farmers bus truckloads of illegals around to do things as cheaply as possible. We cannot cry if after cracking down on illegals we have to pay a few cents more as consumers per pound of vegetables, or for professional cleaning services, or for lawn care. Everything is a trade off and we cannot have it both ways.

I love America, my family came here as legal immigrants, as did most Americans' at some point. Land of the free, equal opportunity, public education, etc. If you love America and will follow the rules, I want you to come and work hard and enjoy our opportunity and make our country even better. If you sneak in illegally you are a criminal and need to be punished, along with anyone that helps you. I do not want to live in a third world country, or see my children or grandchildren living in a third world country, which is what will happen with uncontrolled illegal immigration.

Answer 6

They should be all deported and come back here then apply legally if they want, coz it's so unfair for legal immigrants & citizens as well. We came here in US work our butt hard to get a visa, spend a lot of money for applications and i believe that people come here illegally should do the same thing too like what we've been through...


legal immigrant here

Answer 7

They need to go and come back legally if they can. It has gotten out of hand already. Besides you know what they say about first impressions,the first thing they do is illegal so there ya go. No respect for our law from the very start.

Answer 8

Illegal immigrants need to leave. They are here illegally.

Answer 9

I have had it. They have got to go. Where I live, they are demanding better treatment in the county jail, because they don't understand English. WHINERS! Now they are going to hire interpreters, more money to waste on illegals.

Answer 10

They depress wages, and leave their OWN country without a generation of people to make their country first world.
