Read this and please let me know:..."Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door

Makes no sense, this is a great example of the ignorance some people have on this issue - Complainers need to go after the people they help get elected that continue to create this kind of mess.
The few powerful "Elite" families like the Cheney's in the U.S. have prostituted big business in the USA to become the leaders of the "New World Order" - by sending jobs overseas and strengthening the countries that always end up turning on us. So, in order to compete with India, Taiwan, China, and all the others - we in the USA have to accept slave wages that only the illegal immigrants are willing to take, in order to compete with this "new world economy" that the "Elite" manufactured. Racists continue vote for these "Elite" people, cause they think that they would help their "racist cause" - but these "Elites" only know 1 color - Green, and could careless about them, you, me or the illegal immigrants.

There is a legal way to enter the United States.
This everyday American does not love for illegal people to enter the United States.

Ya know it's not whether we like it or not. It is just the fact that it is out of control. I don't mind immigrants, in fact unless you are 100% native american, some one in your family was an immigrant and they may have even been an illegal for all you know.

As long as they do it legally.
Let me put this on a smaller scale.
Someone decides to walk into my house uninvited. 2 things will happen.
I will call the police, and they will call the coroner.

Entering my home without permission is a crime.
Entering the USA illegally is a crime.
What part of Illegal don't people get?

Those words at the foot of the statue of liberty say nothing of breaking this countries immigration laws............even back when tons of people flocked from their impoverished european countries they still had to follow the rules in order to remain here..........

If people can't rise up within their own countries to fight their povery why should we allow a voice in ours??

I guess that all went out the door with the introduction of the word ILLEGAL. There is a reason why we have prisons in America.

I feel we should accept the immigrants we have now, but invest in walls or something so no more may enter. Its as simple as that.

There are two kind of immigrants, those who come here because of political persecution, and those who come here just to make money. Which one are you talking about?

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
