It's ILLEGAL immigration that I have a problem with. If you don't understand that, you shouldn't be generalizing and comparing people to the Klan. It shows YOUR ignorance.

I believe you mean ILLEGAL Immigrants.
As for research, I would say the months I spent at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center learning Immigration and Customs Law, the massive amount of post academy training as well as the YEARS I have spent enforcing those laws on the border makes me more than just a little qualified.
I don't listen to the media because they have absolutely no clue what we do. I do have to ask where you get your excellent information that you seem to think is so much better than mine, and you better not say the media.
BTW- I have happily helped more LEGAL Immigrants come to this country than you can probably comprehend. So next time, please do not complain about ignorance in others with your own ignorant statement.

Yes I have researched my opinion. It is not immigration we are against, It is illegal immigration. Accusing people of hating and telling people to join the KKK is wrong. It has nothing to do with race and everything with the law as they come illegally.

How fun do you think it is to call the embassy in Juarez to ask why it is taking a year to set an appointment date for a green card interview, only to be told that deportations take precedence over spousal immigration?
So yeah, I have researched my opinion. Illegal immigration hurts EVERYBODY. It hurts the people who are trying to immigrate the worst, it is almost as though my family was being punished for doing the right thing.

Why don't you do some research, yourself? I am not against immigrants....I am very strongly opposed to illegal aliens. Those are two totally different things. Immigrants work hard to achieve their status in this country. They do it legally. They do not slip into this country illegally; then march down our streets, waving another country's flag, all the while robbing our social security and welfare systems, and sending their children free to our schools, that we pay for. So learn the difference and what is at stake here, before you post what I am sure you believe to be a very profound statement.

You say "immigrants" but you mean "illegal aliens". I think it's disingenuous to try to elevate illegal aliens to immigrant status. If they weren't engaging in criminal activity and disrespecting American laws, perhaps we'd look more kindly toward them as we DO true immigrants.
For facts and figures, check out "The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration" http://www.usillegalaliens.com/the_dark_side_of_illegal_immigration.html
If I truly had a passion for hating, I'd go join La Raza or some other Aztlan group.

You don't "research your opinion". Your opinion is what it is. Your opinion.
Who is against immigrants? Not too many people that I know. Most everybody I know are against illegal aliens. My wife is an immigrant (legal). But she and I both are against ILLEGAL aliens, not immigrants.
It has to do with our immigration LAWS. The "media" didn't make our laws.
Likewise, enforcement of our LAWS has nothing to do with "opinion".

No one in America is against immigration. After all, that is how the majority of us got here. What everyone is angry about is illegal immigration. We are a nation of laws. It is illegal to enter this country without permission from the government. Everyone else had to wait in line. They must as well.

All of us ARE NOT against immigration. We ARE against ILLEGAL immigration!!
No need to research it beacause everyday we SEE ILLEGALS increasing crime rates, stealing jobs, hurting the economy, putting a financial strain on our educational and health care systems, bringing down house property values and disrespecting American laws!

Yes, I get many sources including from the Pro's.
Frankly this is what this site is for. Everyone come out and offer their incites and opinions and data, and we all screen as agroup for false information. THe problem is people like you don't take part in the search for the truth and just insult people. If you want to take part in the search for the truth, point out the flaws on our economic models.

Some people need to get a clue. We are not against immigration, we are against ILLEGAL immigration. Surely you are smart enough to know the difference.
