What's the point of being against illegal immigration?

Question

I was born in 1987. Ronald Reagan signed an amnesty bill in in 1986. And he didn't secure our borders, neither have the 3 US presidents after him. That means that America's borders haven't been secured at any time in my life. Illegal immigrants can't legally vote, but their children born in the United States are American citizens. And illegal immigrants have a very high birth rate. I think American politicians don't want to take a strong stance against illegal immigration, either because they support illegal immigration, they think there are to many of them to do anything at this point, or because they don't want to offend their children. 57% of illegal immigrants in the US are from Mexico, & 24% are from other Latin American countries. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/bg1936.cfm So 81% of the illegal immigrants in the United States are Latin Americans. I think the larger the Hispanic population in the US gets the less will be done to stop illegal immigration.

Answer 1

You are right, for decades the law has not been enforced. Why, I couldn't tell you. But whatever events that happened , protests by illegals in our streets, illegals stomping and burning our flag, hearing time after time about how an illegal alien has killed someone driving drunk, or raped or murdered, we got tired of hearing how some bleeding heart liberal was spending our tax dollars on illegal alien handouts etc., ...
but something finally made us open our eyes and the majority of the American People are outraged that the government has let this problem reach such proportions and are demanding that something be done about it.

Is the illegal alien problem insurmountable? No not at all it is just a matter of electing the right people who will do the job.

Answer 2

It has nothing to do with " feel threatened by impending Mexican culture". It totally has to do with the simple word that so many seem to have problems understanding - ILLEGAL. Someone that is breaking the laws - knowing and intent upon breaking the laws - just isn't the kind of person that I know of any government is looking for to become part of its country. Not even Mexico - or else their view of their own problems with their southern border would be a totally different approach now wouldn't it. I don't give a flying flip if the illegal is Mexican, from India, Spain, Russia - name the country. The keyword is "ILLEGAL". Did it ever cross your mind that the reason that they are "abused and misconcieved" is because they are breaking the law - and the company and people behind those companies will continue to get away with it because these people are - dare I point out the obvious - they are ILLEGAL? They have no right to be here? What is so difficult about understanding the word "illegal"? That those that break the law are CRIMINALS? Maybe you will find "enlightment" and get a dictionary and start getting a working knowledge of the English language and what certain words mean. BTW - you need to use spellchecker as you spelled several words incorrectly.

Answer 3

You have some good points and information, yet there are others with answers that surpass what you want to say about being against illegal immigrates. Read them all, some sound that they have the right answers to why we shouldn't support illegal immigrates. There are a large per cent of immigrates that know what has to be done yet hold out until they have to do something about their statues in the United States, giving a hard luck story. Can't support anyone that comes to this country, stays years without making an effort to get the papers necessary to stay as a legal immigrate. Doesn't matter how many children are involved, they had the control to do what was needed, don't play on the sympathy of the US people, and the involvement of special interest groups to resolve the problem. Don't understand English or want to learn to read and speak it, that's all the more to ship them back to where they're from.

Answer 4

You are right there is no point to against because our opinion are useless. Our US government already supports 100% illegal immigration that is why we don't even see any bills pass to stop illegal immigration worker in US. The cooperated are working hand and hand with the government tries to get the contract for the border fence, which will cost us billion of dollar in tax. Don't worry, in the next 7 years US population should hit 500,000,000 just below India. School will be over crowed with free lunch for ii. Free health care for income below $10000/yr should be no problem. For anyone makes higher good luck! Don’t worry again, our government will cut social security but always should support illegal immigration. I feel sorry for middle income because they the one pay the most taxes and get nothing free.

Answer 5

While most Hispanics I know and have heard of oppose illegal immiration. http://www.dontspeakforme.org/

Most of those Hispanics you hear preaching how good illegal immigration is, are usually the ones out in California who are into the whole 'Aztlan' movement. With 30% of the overall Hispanic population being in California, this would make sense.

However your right, the more illegals have their anchor babies here, the more support they receive in the long run. Which is why birthright citizenship must end, or at least modified so it doesn't benefit illegals, only citizens and legal immigrants.

Can you imagine if illegal immigration continues how it's going today plus all their kids who will be old enough to vote? I don't even want to think of that possiblity. We'll probably see nothing but Dems in office .

So one good way to combat illegal immigration is to end birthright citizenship or at least change it so it don't benefit illegals.

I'll bet good money if birthright citizenship ended, the illegal birth rate would drop sharply.

Call your Congressman and Senator to support this bill.

Answer 6

I was born in 1948.

It is refreshing to find a young person capable of thinking for themselves. The school system you attended was set on teaching you what to think, they didn't want you to learn how to think. You learned despite then, certainly not because of them. Now, when you go to vote remember this and fire all the bastards.

We currently have a population that thinks everyone else's Representatives are crap but their own isn't all that bad. Well they are all dog poop and until the American voters learn that and flush the toilet we call Washington DC this nonsense will continue.

Oh yeah, we can dump the dog catcher and the President and all the offices in between. I didn't want you to get the idea that lesser politicians were OK. They are every bit as crooked as the big guys and in some cases worse.

Answer 7

Your argument is specious because almost 50% of Hispanic LEGAL immigrants are against ILLEGAL immigration especially Hispanic illegal immigration. That percentage is growing as more legal immigrants realize illegal immigrants in their neighborhood increase crime, depress home values, and keep their children from obtaining a decent education (as in mainstreaming).

Answer 8

Regan did alot of horrible things that has help put our country in the crapper, one as you mention was that amnesty bill, 2 rolling back the new deal where millionaires and billionaires were paying 71 percent income tax on every dollar after 3million he cut that down to 30percent than bush cut that down to 15 percent, he went after labor unions and many other things. , Regan helped and by his policy's is still helping kill the middle class in this country, There hasn't been anything done about illegals in this country for two reasons, 1 Conservatives want the cheap labor so they aren't doing anything, Dem's want the vote of the anchor babies.

Answer 9

It's simple. There is a law against it and therefore it should be enforced. If the law changes so that people can wander in as much as they want then there is nothing to enforce.

Really it came about because the wrong people came in to the country and rammed a couple buildings with planes. If the paranoia wasn't there, illegal immigration wouldn't be a topic.

Answer 10

While legal immigrants and illegal aliens come to America for an improved standard of living, those millions of foreigners are decidedly harming the quality of life for many in this nation — from those who have been displaced in their jobs by cheap immigrant workers to taxpayers paying for endless infrastructure and services, increased disease rates, students getting a worse education in radically “diverse” classrooms and crime victims who have suffered at the hands of criminal aliens in this country.

Although there are certainly OTHER great reasons to be against illegal immigration, including national security and fairness to immigrants from all over the world, the human cost to American citizens is point enough for me.
