Answer 1

Yesterday I participated in an anti-illegal immigration rally. There were some who came in support of illegal alien rights, and they made the day a lot of fun. We argued back and forth all day long. I was pumped up! I can't wait to do it again. Thing is, most of the people on America's side were middle aged on up. Most of those who supported aliens breaking our laws were teenagers. With our youth being the way they are now, America is DOOMED!

Answer 2

It's part of it, technology that was once meant to connect us has instead given us MORE distance, MORE isolation, and why integrate anyway when you can do it all in YOUR language etc? Of course, the whole world is turning that way, to some degree or another, but also at the end of the day, we're seeing MORE integration from the facility of technology to translate for us... where once language was a barrier, today no more. My view, though, is that one reason for the failure of today's immigrants to fully emigrate and integrate is due to the fact that their lives are still back home...where once you got on a boat and said 'goodbye' to all you held near and dear, today they're only a phone call away. It's a mixed bag of blessings, to be sure, but there's another issue out there, namely illegal immigration, people moving to another country mainly because they just feel like it, without observing any of the normal steps that people would take to move someplace else. F'rinstance, if you're an american, you need to have a visa to go lots of places. So, what's the deal with people from other countries coming to ours without one? What's up with that? Another thing that technology has done is help people that are hell-bent on circumnavigating the law have an easier time of it than in years before. It's also brought us global ID theft, although my suspicion is that the problem for our country is centered in Mexico...but that's just a suspicion, have no way 2 prove it. All in all though, it's a brave new world out there, where having lots of cash means you're exempt from rules that apply to 'everybody else'...it's good to be king...and cash is king...

Answer 3

No, that's not what we want, but it's what we're getting a lot of. I live in Arizona - and it's a VERY serious problem here. At least several murders by illegal immigrants every week. The felonies are of the charts. A friend of mine got rear-ended two weeks ago by a drunken illegal alien (from Mexico). Her car sustained $6,000 damage. The trespasser had no insurance and was deported. My friend is screwed. But the biggest problem is outlined in the book Terror in America – You Are Not Safe! by Ned Kalbfleish (scary stuff). It's time to close the borders and for people to oblige the laws.

Answer 4

When it comes to illegals most news outlets will cover their status unless they feel it's relevant to the case and to avoid a outbreak of violence against the designated minority. This way one can't know for sure if the person was illegal or not.

Not all illegal aliens are violent criminals but all are technically breaking the law by being here without work or student visas and many are comitting fraud to obtain the credentials to get jobs not to mention violations of codes by crowding 20 people in a 1 bedroom house. Sorry PC people but that's the law.

I recommend people listen to the national syndicated radio host Phil Valentine who advocates a policy known as Demagnification which goes after people who hire illegals and government workers who give illegals benefits only citizens are allowed such as food stamps with heavy penalties such as being fined 10,000$ per illegal on the first offense and having your business license revoked permanetly on the second offense for businesses and jail time and fines for government employees who knowingly allow illegals to obtain such benefits as unemployment and or food stamps after all there is a 1800 number you can call to verify a social security number as legit or not and permiting hospitals to charge fees to people visting the emergency room for a head cold rather than using walk in clinics which were designed for such things to take the burden off emergency rooms which should be used only for emergencies. This policy if enacted state by state would eventually give illegals no place to go so they'd have to go back home and work to make changes to the problems in their own country rather than bring the problems here. Talk to your state representative about getting a Demagnification bill started where you are.

Answer 5

This is typical of the behavior we can expect from illegals..If anyone doubts it,watch channels 44,60 and66 Chgo. they are Latino oriented, supportive of illegal Latino immigrants,yet they broadcast what is happening in central/America,south /America, and Mexico without reservations. The atrocities being committed against their own are unbelievably brutal,exhibiting their complete lack of any shame,sense of guilt or compassion..I for one have directly provided our media,and our state and federal elected officials at every level indisputable facts supporting the need for extreme caution prior to REFORMING OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS..We only need to rigidly enforce them..and appointed or elected officials who fail to do so should be removed from their posts and fully prosecuted..
