Answer 1

They aren't here for the purpose of undermining our way of life, it just works out that way.
We speak English, see? They don't, and unlike all other immigrant groups, they won't. That undermines my way of life which includes an ability to speak with all Americans without learning additional languages.
I like to earn a living wage in my trade; a wage that supports my small family here, in America with an American cost of living and American bills. They don't; working for half what my family can survive on ( without welfare ) and that undermines our way of life. The inconvenient truth is: It doesn't matter that they don't WANT to undermine our way of life, it just matters that they ARE undermining it.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Answer 2

Razor Jim brought up some interesting facts. We spend about as much on illegal immigrants in a year as we do on a WHOLE WEEK of the war in Iraq.

I think we can afford it. But it's not just illegals. We're spending a huge chunk of change to provide Social Services to people with full time jobs. Now the way I was brought up. if you work for a living, you should make a living, not a minimum wage so low that with both parents working, a family of four is still below the poverty line.

Everybody likes to point to the illegals as the problem. But, the problem is companies who exploit these people. They like to hire illegals because illegals are in no position to demand a living wage. All of those Social Services that go to illegals and the rest of the working poor are really subsidies for the companies that hire them.

Forget the wetbacks, go after the companies who hire them. In fact, when a company is convicted of hiring illegals, make them pay the difference between what they were paying their workers and a lving wage to the illegals that got caught in the raid as back pay. That way, we can ship the illegals back over the border with some money in their pockets and they won't have to come back as soon.

For that matter, why is the whole debate focussing on Mexicans? I live in a Mexican-Polish neighborhood. Except for the food and the language, they're pretty much identical cultures. Hardworking, Family Oriented Catholics who like beer and Polka Music.

Nobody's yelling about the illegal Russians, and they are far more a problem than Mexicans. Most of the illegal Russian men are KGusedtoB's who are taking over Organized Crime in America. Most of the women enter the country as White Slaves. So why aren't we paying more attention to them than to people who came here to work?

Make a living wage the Law and illegal immigrants will stop being a problem.

Answer 3

I agree with you. I grew up in the Oregon School System from 1955 to 1968 and I couldn't even venture to guess how many of the kids I went to school with were of some "South of The Border" Country. I cannot believe that the Son of the President Looking for"A kinder, Gentler Nation", is a flagrant violator of our citizens rights. Look at the "Mexican" next to you, chances are they were born here. Jeez, it's just another piece of the ring Wing BS to take our attention away from all the other junk they are doing to destroy The America I haved always believed in. New Orleans is still a mess, the Constitution is a mess, there are over a thousand signing statements for the Next President to deal with not counting that Our President supports Torture and has ticked off half the planet. And you guys are worried about the people who have been working and paying taxes and hold ing our butts up while the Smarmy Presidents co horts slither through our economy. Get a Grip. Mexican folks might not be speaking English, but I bet they understand it and I can't believe how ungrateful a group we are. We want to get and keep everything and just kill anybody in our way. When Did this become Our America. They raided a couple of places across the river in Oregon last week. Kids wandering around with no one to pick them up from school, Mothers in jail. Many of my neighbors went missing, or did they? Whatever, I miss my friends and their happy kids and nice clean yards. What a drag. All these Young Loud Voices on two sides of the same line and you can't see we are Family....I'm glad I'm old....you guys....I have a Russian Family two doors down. I love them! In my childhood home we had a room under the house....Make sure the info you have is accurate, I see a lot of misinformation in this section.

Answer 4

possibly the 1st question that includes innovations is "Why are a majority of those Muslims immigrating from Islamic international locations to lands like ours"? It would not make experience to assert "for the money", because of the fact there are lots of Islamic international locations like Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, the Sultanate of Brunei and so on, the place there's a great kind of money and that they've the further benefit of being between their human beings. yet, they decide back right here, the place they entire misfits? What we fairly desire to observe out for is the reality that they slowly boost their ghettos the place ever they circulate and then usher of their Mosques and their Imams and enormously quickly start up forcing their strategies on all others and demand on being given a good purchase of privileges. What somebody reported earlier approximately our desiring to take a reliable seem at uk is probable precise. additionally, throughout Europe, in recent times, there's a favorable circulation, by skill of the locals to have those human beings deported by way of many issues created by skill of them there. perhaps we could desire to constantly remember 9/11 and the prepare bombs and how the Muslims celebrated those issues as a "wonderful Victory for Islam". despite if we like it or no longer, they're an fairly severe protection possibility and you could still ponder whether they're worth our allowing to stay between us. i-robotic

Answer 5

Some people forget that their family tree is immigrants. Most immigrants (legal or illegal) are here to find the better way of making a living and freedom. Some (criminals and terrorists) are her to destroy our freedom and way of life.
Many non-residents and non- American citizens have fought on the front lines of our wars and many have not made it back alive to claim their citizenship. They truly loved this country more than a lot of us who have took it for granted.
Maybe those American Madmen should have been next to them when the bombs, booby traps, IED's and bullets began to fly and then see if they would still treat them like lepers.
Ignorance is the virus that infects most of the world. Get educated, knowledge, understanding and wisdom....all from God, then we will be enlightened to the truth.

Answer 6

Okay let me see if I can anwser some of your questions without being ignorant.
1. did you know that illegals receive social services medical and foodstamps that american taxpayer's have to pay for.
2. did you know that illegals donot have to show proof of who they really are like the rest of us.
3. did you know that if they legalize illegals that the U.S will be hit with spending over 30 billion dollars a year by guess who americans
4. did you know that when an illegal comes here within 30 days they are working and taking jobs the politicians say americans won't do, which is a lie.
5. did you know that we pay for their illegal children to over crowd our schools and because we as sanctuary cities cannot ask them to show proof of who they are the schools can't get proper funding to educate our children and ending results our taxes go up to pay for it
6. did you know for the same reason above our hospitals are closing because they cannot keep up with the over pouring of illegals who drive up the cost guess again for the same reason above.
7. did you know that illegals are working on many americans social security number's which is a felony.
8. did you know here in Chicago all you see working is Mexicans because they are cheap labor
9. did you know that 6 out of 10 children born in our hospitals are illegal and guess whos paying for it.
10. do you think they should get Social Security Benefits that Americans worked for to secure our 50's generation and our childrens life
11. If you still think that we Americans are simply being racist I suggest that you do a little home work and start educating yourself about the rest of us being ignorant
12. our polictical Dems want them for votes our Republicans want them for greed but in the middle are the hard working men and women in this country that cannot afford to pay the bill

Comment: you need to educate yourself and other's who think that other's are being ignorant hopefully you and other's who think as you do will wake up before it's to late as you will be a the bottom no where in the middle as these people are illegally working in our State, Federal governments they are people who may not even have a high school diploma are getting incomes starting at 30,000.00 or more a year because there are many in power in their interest.

I hope you have learn something or will take the time to see if what I have informed you is true.

Yes for Legal Immigrants check no for illegal!

Answer 7

I, for one, am not anti-immigrant.
I am ANTI-CRIME!

I welcome immigrants from every country, as long as they do it legally.

There are a few bad ones???
100% of illegals are, get ready------
ILLEGAL!!!
they are all criminals and the list of the average criminal activity associated with illegal aliens has nothing to do with violent crime, but there are MANY innocent victims
1. Identity theft by using someone else's soc sec number, illegals have caused havoc for throusands who have to prove to the IRS that they did not have more income than they actually had
2. not paying taxes, FICA, etc
3. fraud by usingemergency rooms with no intent of EVER paying the bill, that is why they give fake names and addresses, etc...
4. illegals have the largest occurance of driving uninsured (another illegal activity), causing millions of dollars of damage, lives and pain and suffering to affected families

You see, when the foundation you build upon is illegal, there is NOTHING you can do that is good and right, if your mere presence is illegal, ALL of your activiy is, by definition, illegal also!

Answer 8

why does the illegal immigrant arguement always veer towards the nonesensical argument that everyone is against immigrants.....
i know of nobody that is against anyone that wants to better his or her life by coming here...LEGALLY...and if i was to know of anyone that hypocritical i would not have them as a trusted friend..... as for open borders i say no, and hell no....
there are way too many people that are waiting years to be able to come here...i say they deserve their turn........

Answer 9

because they are not here legally. I understand that they want a better life, but should we be poorer because they want to get richer? I don't think so. We should not be worrying about global issues, because we have so many issues to settle here before we can even start to thiink about illegal immigrants. (racism, homophobics, pro-life, religion) To answer your question they are trying to, even if they don't mean to. We are not the country of Robin Hood. We are the country of George Bush, which is no where close to Robin Hood. The illegal immigrants are taking opportunities that we deserve, away from us, you know the tax paying legal immigrant. You are thinking like an ignornant illegal immigrant!!!

Answer 10

um probably because we don't like people in our country who are here illegally... If they are trying to be legal, they would have applied for a visa while still in their own country..... instead they come here and then apply... INS should deport people who do that... or the border patrol agents should be given permission to shoot them on sight as they come across the border...
