Answer 1

As the spouse of a LEGAL immigrant from overseas, I am very passionate about a few points on illegal immigration...

1) Illegals are NOT discriminated against...they have just as much right to apply for a visa as the next foreigner. And on the flipside, they should be deported just like someone who tried to fly in illegally. Which brings me to my next point...

2) The mere fact that of their close geographic location does NOT give them any more right to be here than, say, someone who wanted to migrate from the UK.

3) The fact that illegals are allowed to stay in the US is a serious kick in the gut to anyone who actually follows the rules and goes through the joke of a process of obtaining the appropriate visa documents.

4) If the US government is willing to deport even ONE illegal immigrant, it must deport ALL of them. Period. You can't pick and choose who has to obey the law and who can sneak under the radar.

I couldn't care less about how illegals affect the economy. It's an insult to every citizen and legal alien that they're allowed to stay.

Answer 2

It's opened our eyes to all the loopholes that we have. It's opened our eyes to the NAU and other little secret things going on. It's wised us up as to how easily big business and our government will sell us out for a buck. It's opened our eyes to the fact that there are "radical" groups right in our midst that are ready to destroy us and this country. It's made us realize that being a citizen means you have to be an active participant and watch every move our officials make because they are not watching out for us. It's shown us just how off base we are with PC correctness to the point where it's laughable. It's definately proven to me that what I see is real and what line they are trying to tell me is the messed up version. How "racism" is abused and mis-used to make excuses for certain people. How downward this country is going on alot of different things. Diversity may have been good but there's a point where "diversity" causes great division when there's nothing left in common to work with. People are finally noticing how our rights are being slowly chipped away supposidly for our better good and each tiny thing has serious consequences. Our founding Fathers were brilliant people.....it's idiots ruling now. Just how far stupidity can swing if you let it. ........etc......etc.

Answer 3

They are important to our economy, but the govt looks the other way because we make so much money off them. They are making corporate america richer!! Little do these illegals know they will never get ahead by working these jobs. I think if we fined companies for hiring illegals this whole problem would go away and the illegals would return home.

Answer 4

Not a thing!

Actually we DON'T NEED THEM! Proof: May 1, 2006 - "A day without an immigrant" protest was supposed to cripple our economy and system for a day. It didn't/ Teachers could teach without having to spend most of their time with non-English speaking kids. Businesses functioned, everything was fine - you could even drive 75mph on "the 101" during rush hour!

But even Sum would concede that the U.S. economy is larger, and growing faster, due to the supply of illegal immigrants, and that most Americans with higher job skills are better off for their presence.

"Without the immigrants, we would have a decline in labor force of 3 to 4 percent," he said. "We couldn't have grown nearly as much as we did in the '90s if we didn't have immigrants. And in the last few years our growth would have been slower. The only thing I've argued is that we've ignored that illegal immigration has put a lot of young adults into economic jeopardy."

Sum's views point out the dichotomy that many economists see when looking at the impact of immigration on the economy.

Few economists will argue with the concept that the economy is stronger for the presence of the low-cost labor force.

And while most admit they have to make guesses rather than the educated estimates they would like to make, most say that economic growth would be a half a percentage point to 2 points lower without immigrant workers..

AUSTIN, Texas: Illegal immigrants contributed more than $17 billion (€12.9 billion) to the Texas economy last year, making them more of a benefit than a drain, a new report by the border state's top financial officer says.

Answer 6

Ummmmm..nope

Answer 7

listen if you are not an american indain you or your ancestors came from another country. the united states is a boiling pot with all nationality's. why shouldn't everyone be as welcome as our ancestors. but the one reason is the money they put into our economy. look what they pay into social security and never draw. they want what everyone else here wants the American dream, a good life.

Answer 8

It finally gives us something to come together over. Republicans and Democrats both for the most part agree on this issue. Now if we can get our politicians to pull their heads out, we will get some movement on this issue.

Answer 9

It is sad to me that there are still so many citizens who are ignorant about the illegal immigration problem. I guess if you consider breaking the law a good thing,they are good at that!
