1) they come here to work -
TRANSLATION: They come here to work the system
2) They want a better life for their families
TRANSLATION: They want their kids to get free health and schooling
3) We are a nation of immigrants
TRANSLATION: Doesen't matter what hell your ancestors had to go through and the long wait they had to endure. They want and they want it NOW!
4) Anti - illigals are racist ( this one is the best )
TRANSLATION: People are just tired of paying for 33% of all prisoners are here illegally and their kids get free medical and schooling - and stupid "asleep at the wheel " WHITEY is so scared to say anything - while all Americans are paying for the free ride every April 15th. -

Absolutely right!
Illegals are laughing at us as we argue with each other.
They sit back and work the system thinking that the American public is too busy with this whole debate to actually act on anything.
What we need to do is get moving and fight back against illegals.

yeah i think the phrases are over used but also think your way of translating them is wrong. for starters yes some illegals that are in this country have abused the system but hey they have learned it from other U.S citizens who have been abusing the system for years,they figured why not do the same. second of all yes they all do want a better life for their families wich includes schooling,so that they can hopefully grow up to have a better life than they could provide for them.and yes we are a nation of immigrants but seems nowadays if your ancestors didn't arrive on the mayflower then your out of luck.And yes some anti's have a problem with illegals based on the fact that the economy sucks so bad right now but there are some that use this problem right now as an opportunity to just be racist because they know they can hide under the "i'm not racist just don't like anyone who's here illegally" banner. I'm surprised you didn't put in your old age phrase of " all illegals have 15 kids so they can use welfare".

Maybe if you got your statistics to be accurate. And it was YOUR ancestors, not YOU. And I doubt your ancestors would be considered to come here if they were living today. Where did you get these facts about getting things free?
Ehh, I could go on and on but it seems to me like you just listen to what you WANT to hear. Not actually TRY to listen to another side. So what is the point?
By the way, I have SO many points and they do not even mention racism.
It's not racism, it's ignorance.

Your translations are dead on. It never ceases to amaze me how the pro-illegal group cannot see the difference between being anti-illegal and anti-immigrant.
My in-laws came here legally many years ago. My wife was born here. Between the 3 of them (not counting the ones I have helped on) they are responsible for nearly 70 illegals being deported. (they just had a group of 8 yesterday). They DEMAND that INS deport them when they call to report them. They despise the illegals. They are the first to say that the majority of them do not respect America or our laws.
Does anyone think that THEY are racist?

Show your documentation that 33% 0f all prisoners are undocumented !
That statement is mis information at best!
Incarcerated America (Human Rights Watch Backgrounder)
State that more than 2 million prisoners are in local,State and Federal Prison.
State and Federal Prisoners by Race.
Black..........43.91%
Whites........34.72%
Hispanic.....18.26 %
Others.........03.11%
Hispanic prisioners are Mexican American, citizens, legal and undocumented, and prisoners from the rest of Central , South America and the Caribean.
This proves your rant is mis informations.

It is difficult for illegal aliens to come up with rational arguments for breaking the law so they have to resort to falsehoods.
