Would you be ok with it if they were allowed in freely BUT:
1. Could never recieve benefits (medicaid, SS, welfare etc.)
2. Never had to pay a cent in taxes
If you answer NO then you are also against OUTSOURCING AND FREE TRADE.
Agree? why or why not?

I have no problem with outsourcing and free trade. But I do answer no to both of those. Here is the difference, the people in other countries that make mysneakers,
1-Won't rob me
2-Won't drive drunk and kill me
3-Won't use our roads, but not pay taxes
4-Won't send their children to my school, while not paying taxes,
5-Will not take low income housing from people in this country who need it.
There is a big difference between outsourcing and bringing people in here to do the work who even though under you point, may not directly take money from us, but will still use resouces we pay for.

First off, no one is proposing free entry for all immigrants. If we allow every person who wants to come into America admittance the whole country would sink into the ground under its own weight.
There should only be one acceptable method of immigrating into America or any other country for that matter and that method is "legally".
No one should be eligible for social benefits unless they are American citizens.
I am not against outsourcing or free trade. Frankly, I see no connection.

They would get around it no matter how they sliced it.
With any government benefit someone has to put the money in so that there is a bank account to begin with.. therefore if you don't put anything into the system you shouldn't be able to take anything out. That is what our taxes earmarked for special departments are for in the first place.
However, Social Security originally was only for those over 65 years old who had no retirement fund or medical to get them through their waning years, it also helped out widows and/or orphans of a breadwinner that died young. That was fine and the system seemed to be supporting itself. But its being paid out for other things now and that its why its so drained.
Nobody is going to get any benefits from Social Security soon because there will not be anything in the bank!
You just can't keep taking!!

I agree, if they do not receive benefits like social secuirty that is fine.
For those of you who do not read it, you should take a look at your latest Social Security report. Mine just told me that by the time I am ready to retire (2040), the actual payout will be 74% of what it should have been, due to the fact that too much is being paid out and not enough is being taken in. So the next time you stand up for an illegal immigrant who is sitting at home, cashing your checks, let me know how you feel. If you are okay with it, give me your Social Security money, obviously you do not care who gets it, right?

There shouldn't be free entry period. Cause there stealing peoples work over here. The presidents plan to allow illegals in is stupid. What is the president thinking. How would you like it if someone took your job away from you . I know some jobs the illegal take is because no one else wants to do it,but then some jobs are jobs which hard working citizens need to survice. It hard enough to survive without someone taking your job from you. I say no free entry, it would screw alot of people over. Yet again there already stealing are jobs as we speak. This is just my opinion.

I think if illegals come forward they can get a work visa. They cannot receive any benefits, they will never qualify to be a citizen, will never be allowed the right to vote, and must pay back taxes and must their children must learn English to be enrolled in school. Their American born children will however earn that right that they forfeited to give their family a better life.

The vast majority of us having nothing against immigration. Come into our country legally , or stay home . That is it, simple, to the point. If you are too lazy to follow our laws, we do not want you in our county in the first place. If the line is too long is your excuse, too bad. That usually means "good things are worth waiting for ".

Your argument is flawed. People who work outsourced jobs in the third world don't drive on our freeways, fill our emergency rooms, fill our schools with their kids, or populate our urban gangs.
So unlike outsourcing it's not a net zero simply if you ASSUME they don't get welfare or social security. Which many of them do.

no reason to stop anyone from wanting a better life but they should be here legal to get any help from any benefits... there is rules that need to be followed to be here from any country and its been that way along time for a reason
