There is a legal way for the immigration.

Are you going to allow your neighbors to come to your house any time they want without asking you?

LEGAL immigration is legal in the united states. Okay yes they are our neighbors, lets pretend that we are another country like oh soviet union during world war II, would you be okay with allowing all of the people from Germany who wanted to leave to move in. No, yes the times are different but the thought is still the same.

United States citizens pay taxes, can vote, and go to war, if we just opened the flood gates between Mexico and the United States then there would be issues, the big one being a language barrier. Why should we invite our "neighbors" to come drop prices, not learn the language. How are we really helping them? You come here though the right channels then yes you can live here, you come illegally, be it from Iraq, Europe, Africa, or Mexico and you will be deported. What about Cuba, should we allow all Cubans into our country as well since they are our neighbors, or what about China, Japan, Canada. Those are neighbors too. Even Russia is a neighbor, we do not have the resources or the reason to accept people who just "are tired of living in their country" ummm yeah I am sure that there are bunches of Americans who are tired of living in the U.S. but you don't see a mass exodus to Mexico, Canada, Russia.

Immigration has to somehow be worked into our economic system. The taxes we spend imprisoning people, sending these same people to the courts, and eventually deporting some is astronomical. You are right, they are our neighbors. Do you know any personally? Many don't have the same goals as Americans, although some do. Those people which share our goals resettle here successfully. there are many others, who take up jobs temporarily, jobs we really need, just to "see" and make fun of our culture, our city, and even our accents. They vandalize our possessions. They are overly aggressive, and are in their teens and early twenties.
Immigration should be somewhat selective, although I'm not sure how we can legally do this. My mother-in-law was from Puerto Rico, and she worked all her life. She worked into her seventies, and although she could live in a big house with one of her sons, she couldn't. She remembered coming to America, New York, and working each and every day, at something. Making dolls, sewing, working at a factory, she met her husband on coffee break, and did have six children here. She felt she made enough with her life and was happy, and leave the big houses to the Americans, they let her work, and were nice to her and her children. Her English was hard to understand, and her children speak English well. They all work. (and don't steal)
Spending all our tax dollars on the war isn't right, and we can't go in and overrule him today, can we? Maybe when he goes home, things will change for the better.

There is a legal way to immigrate here. So immigration is legal. Now ILLEGAL immigration is ILLEGAL because they didn't do it LEGALLY. I don't care who is our "neighbor". I have a real life neighbor and she doesn't have the right to come on over and break into my house and set it up as if it's her home. Just like people from a neighboring country don't have right to come here and play house just because they want to.

I mean seriously.....has somebody put something in the water or misted the air with some sort of agent that breaks up the nerve functions in the brain where people can't understand the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL and NO!

Gee....not to mention that Canada is alot closer to me than Mexico. So they sure ended up way out of their "neighborhood". Way out of Atzlan even!!

Immigration is legal in the USA if you do it the right way. fill out all the papers necessary and pay the fees and/or fines. having been through the immigration process, i can understand how illegals feel intimadiated* or fear the process. not only is it lengthy but it is also very costly. i also dont think that the "american" society understands what it takes for a mexican national to begin the process legally and that's why there are so many illegals coming from mexico. i also personally think that the "american" society doesnt realize just how much illegals do in the US.

Being neighbors is one thing. Allowing your neighbor to walk into your home and take whatever they want is another.

Immigration IS legal, as long as they go through the proper procedures first. And Illegal immigration is NOT all about Mexico, there are illegals here from many countries.

Immigration IS legal. But we screen the legal immigrants for diseases, criminal history, etc. Also, there's a quota so a certain number from each country so we don't get overwhelmed by people from one or two countries in a way that changes the culture like what's happening now where you go to parts of Los Angeles and everything's in spanish and it looks like little Mexico.

I was once talking to a friend about the Soviet Union fall, and we concluded that they failed because they had a system that forgot a very simple thing: humans are humans. If you have a system that forgets that, then you are doomed to failure. If US companies need laborers and Mexicans need money, well, if you know what humans are then there is no surprise this "illegal" (I would say "denied") immigration is happening. Close the southern Mexican (North American, NAFTA) border and negociate a North American Free Work Agreement (NAFWA). American and Canadian professional would have wider job opportunities and Mexican enterprises would get a little bit more know-how. Mexican laborers would have the jobs they need and companies would have the workforce they require. In the end this is the only thing that would save us from the Chinese, that have both skilled professionals and cheap workforce under the same government and are decided to take over the world.

Yes, immigration should be, and IS legal. However, in order to do so, we have laws that help to control it and keep it orderly, and (theoretically) to keep our borders safe from terrorists, control disease spread, etc. We are all immigrants or descendants of immigrants (other than the Native American population). Other people should have the chance to come here, too - but with coming here comes the responsibility of obeying and respecting the laws we have in place.

Immigration is legal in the US.

In Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, there are many "legal" crossing points. These are open to any legal immigrant from Mexico.

What was your question again?
