I would love to know the basis of all these hateful things said about illegals and mexicans. The companies who hire illegals need to be discussed, instead of throwing slander at people trying to make a wage. Social Security gathered by our government by illegals will never be returned. They work for less money; allowing homes to be built at less cost, families to have care for children and elderly, etc. Economy gains more than loses from the illegal immigrants, and our government knows that. I would love to know where these facts come from, but with each smart comment made on behalf of anti-illegal immigration there are 10 hateful and ignorant ones. Please don't call me unpatriotic, because it is such a cop-out. Thinking outside the box could due some people good. Before people come to conclusions... no, I don't believe every illegal should get amnesty, and I'm not some bleeding heart leftist, communist, etc. I just call to question what people think they know.

The US has a immigration system with visas allowing many people from different walks of life the opportunity to come to the States.
There is no excuse for being illegal, when they is clearly a system available to all.

If you're so concerned with defending the illegals, why don't you just go to Mexico and live there? Get real already. It's multi-culturalists like you who are helping to erode away US sovereignty and our national identity. Regardless of what you choose to believe, the fact is this; 100% of illegal immigrants are criminals. The minute they crossed our border illegally, they ceased to be upstanding, law abiding citizens. Contrary to what you're posting, the fact that they are willing to work for less money contributes to destablizing our eceonomy; our taxes increase to bear the burden. Additionally, they contribute to a shadow economy by purchasing counterfieted documents such as social security cards, driver's licenses, and birth certificates. You can feel free to call me to question, I DO KNOW. I became an immigration attorney to battle this very thing you think is ok.

School costs $10,000 per child per year. If someone has three children, by the time they are put through high school, that is not PETTY theft from our own children. There is no way they make, much less pay tax, to equal that.
We subsidize our poor. That is why more poor want to come than our programs can afford and why schools are failing our own children in areas where illegal immigrants concentrate.
The facts are easy to find.

You want us to look at all the FACTS to make a decision? That's just... weird :-)
I'm pretty sure that the loss monetary to emergency rooms, in particular, exceeds the money gained from uncollected social security, but like you, I would love to see the numbers on both sides. Certainly, the people who believe that all illegal aliens are violent criminals whose top priority is to screw our country aren't helping the discussion with their scapegoating hysteria, anymore than extremists on the other side.

Its very simple. Look at our schools that are filled with illegals kids who don't speak English and they slow the class down so they can keep up. Look at the prisons that are filled with illegals because they have no respect for our laws. Look at the ones who sneak across the border to drop the kid and then live off of our social services. Go hang out in an Emergency room and see it filled with illegals with no insurance and will not pay. Go to a city with a high number of illegals and note the number of hit and runs with no auto insurance, and if you find an illegal with a Social Security care then you KNOW they stole someones Identity. They have no respect for our laws or our culture. Their tally is up to about 80 billion a year that the tax payers have to pay for. The send over 50 billion tax free dollars back to their country so they are not even contributing to our economy. Deport them, and deport them now.

I hate those companies. Its very hard to get the government to do anything about them. You want one of my facts for getting them out and building a wall? A good friend of mine was gunned down by illegal alien gang members from the Dominican Republic. So get your facts straight buddy.

The real problem with the illegal immigration movement is that it is a political takeover by Mexico. By sending millions of its people into this country and encouraging dual citizenship, Mexico is invading and conquering areas of the US through sheer dominance of numbers.
