Answer 1

I totally agree with you. After all, if you think about it, many of our ancesters came the same way. Why do we now have to discriminate? It is our government's fault they jump the border. If they made it easier for people to work here, it wouldn't be so bad. Also, illegals will never go away when you have companies who will risk bringing them in just to save a few bucks here and there. When you have illegals, you don't have to pay them minimum wage.
They do a lot of things we Americans believe that we are too "high class" to do ourselves.

Answer 2

They broke the law to get here and are breaking the law every day they stay here illegally. We have a right to know who is in our country and when they sneak in illegally we do not know who is here or why. We understand wanting a better life and to provide better for your family....we want these things too, but we do it legally. Many of the illegals have children here and then try to stay in the country because the children were granted US citizenship by default...this is exploiting the child...we punish other people for exploiting children but they want to be rewarded for it. If/when they get caught and deported they cry that we are breaking up their family and how cruel that is...they are the ones who put their family in this situation, not us (you don't hear protests about breaking up families when felons are sent off to prison...but it really isn't that different, laws were broken and now there are consequences). People being here illegally is a slap in the face to every law-abiding citizen of this country and to every immigrant who came went through the time, expense and work to do the process legally.

Also...just because you don't agree with our view doesn't make them (as you put it) "a@@hole answers". We are enraged and with very good reason...these ARE nice answers.

First off it is illegal, which means they are breaking the law. The taxpayers also have to pay for all of the services used, the education system is becoming overloaded and slowed due to the fact that children of illegals do not usually speak English therefore need special attention which slows down the learning process for our children.

Your job might not be affected but lots of other unskilled labor jobs are (for example the mining industry which pays very well and the construction industry which also provided a good wage for unskilled labor). The children of illegals are being educated via taxpayers and then going to college and taking skilled jobs AT THE EXPENSE OF TAXPAYERS and your child.

The hospitals are being bankrupt by illegals using the emergency room as a healthcare system and running off on their bill, these are real life human beings loosing jobs because hospitals close.

Crime increases when illegals settle into an area. Property and house values plummet also and for most people that is their biggest investment. Many other problems arise because of illegal immigration and you may not mind paying extra taxes and higher premiums for your healthcare but most of us do.

It is also a REAL LIFE safety issue, look at the Fort Dix, NJ situation. Many Many more REAL issues.

Answer 4

Well, if they are so hard workers and are so much wanted here, why do they not apply for a position and get it with decent conditions? Coming into the country without a valid passport and visa is a criminal offence in most countries. If you become a criminal just by the mere act of coming, what do you want other people to think? Yes, you can insult your fellow citizens by calling them xenofobic, but that will not give those poor people something to eat. You could, of course, but not force your fellow citizens to do so. We all must be ruled by the same laws, and breaking them makes nobody a better citizen.
People who come illegally have not helped support our facilities, and even if they do when they start working legally, they use them.
If you would like to do something for those unhappy people who need to come over here even illegally, you could go to their countries or send them money so that they can start businesses or schools, or hospitals, so that they can stop coming here and lead a decent life without being forced to split with their families, friends and culture.

Answer 5

Sir, have you ever heard of 'the law'? It is when a society confirms a rule or regulation concerning a problem in the hopes of ending or at least minimizing said problem. Hence the word "illegal". No one has a problem with immigrants. If these people were so "good", they would do what they should, as other immigrants have. They are lying to our census bureaus and stealing from you, whether you know it or not. Your tax dollars are funding people who have just essentially snubbed your laws and TAKEN your money. This doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg son. It gets worse.

Answer 6

What about the other 100 million that want to come here? Are you going to let them in too? And the 100 million next year and the year after, etc. What about them?

If you want to live in a country that is crowded without law move to India or China.

But illegal aliens are criminals and should be punished and deported! Along with the traitors that support them!

Answer 7

Not one comma or period in 15 lines of garbage.

"Big Deal?" Because we don't want you here. You bring TB into our country. You sap the money from our school systems. You sap the money from our hospitals and emergency rooms. You live 20 people to a house.

You destroy the property. You kill and rape our daughters to the tune of almost 9000 murders a year. You drive on our highways with no insurance and you pay no taxes. You steal our identification numbers.

NEED TO KNOW MORE? Go flat foot the fence in the other direction. Go home. We don't like you. You're il-legal. You're law breakers!

Answer 8

yeah ok... first off, they are not risking much trying to get over here, cause apparently our border control is only there to scare them, if they actually shoot then they go to prison...and most of the illegals in this country are from Mexico, which my friend is a FREE country.. so what are they risking, and what very dangerous conditions are they facing??? They don't live in a communist country- like Cubans- THEY risk alot, they risk their lives, and they have to go through very dangerous conditions to get here... and if they make it they do get to stay... because we do have sympathy for them... but people from FREE countries have no excuse.. they have every opportunity to come here legally- so no I don't feel bad for them and never will- there are poor people in every country.. including our own.. let's start worrying and caring for our own Americans who work hard and need a better life for their families- before we start worrying about people from other countries, who are breaking the law

Answer 9

It is ruining our children's education. The schools are hugely overcrowded and being taught by teachers on emergency credentials, and a huge proportion of the funds are siphoned off to pay for ESL programs targetting those who wouldn't be here if their children weren't here illegally. OUR children's programs are cut, and in our area, music PE and computer classes only exist because parents pay for them out of our pockets. In other areas those programs, along with gifted and advanced programs OUR children used, have been cut to fund ESL for millions whose parents are illegally here. Also, our own poor go to the back of the line because illegal aliens with unprovable incomes 'seem' poorer 100% of the time. That impacts health care as well as schools, AND college funding and admissions.

There are too many and they are too poor to pay their way in taxes, or even a substantial portion of their way. Their better life is at our expense and their children are not more important than our own.

Answer 10

Its a big deal because they broke the law to get here in the first place. As to them working hard and making a better life- for everyone like that there is one who will break other laws. Saying they want a better life is not a reason to break the law. I cant rob a bank( break the law) to have a better life.

Answer 11

If they want to live and work in the US of A then they need to become US Citizens and learn to speak English like the millions of other immigrants who came to the US did to get a better life!!
