i live in oklahoma and right now our state government has passed a law that any and all illegal immigrants(mainly targeting mexican immigrants)will be taken from their homes and deported because they are illegal. in some ways i can see there point but i think it is wrong because everyone in america got here because of an immigrant not themselves and i think they still have rights as human beings to at least be able to gain citizenship. half of the things they make immigrants learn is stuff we don't even know but i think this is so wrong because even though these people are illegal it is becoming more of a discrimination issue here than helping our state.

I too live in Oklahoma. The law isn't going to be taking illegals out of their houses.It is mainly targeting the illegals that are causing problems such as gang violence and driving without proper id. You are right about everyone immigrating here and becoming citizens but our families did it legally and did not milk the system for free health care and housing. It is getting really annoying when everything needs to be written in 2 languages. They do have human rights but why should they be given the same rights as citizens. I would like S.S to be around when I get old and not be drained due to illegals receiving S.S. funds. I do feel sorry for these people because the majority do come here in order to better their lives. They do however, need to do it legally and not expect our government to pay for everything

The illegals can not cry discrimination because they violated our immigration laws. As illegals, they should be deported. The immigrants that built the United States complied with all the laws, rules and regulations at the time and they patiently waited in order to be legal members of the then existing government. Let us not forget also that there is a long list at the INS Office of people who have been waiting for their visas to be issued to them. Some have been waiting for decades to join their parents and relatives in this country. They are the ones who can complain of discrimination if the illegals will be preferred over them.

First, seeing as how i'm not unquestionably "White" and characteristic an ethnicity of Hispanic, the racist card would not be conscious to me. even if if, i think of you're a closeted racist pondering the reality that now not each and every unlawful immigrant is another shade although white, there are truly white unlawful immigrants from Europe, Canada, Australia, etc. That could desire to be deported. 2d, now not each and every unlawful immigrant is working greater durable than each and every physique else in the U.S., that's in basic terms an opinion, now not a documented purpose piece of information. There are truly many lazy unlawful immigrants. Why will could they could desire to difficulty approximately being deported? because of the reality that they broke the regulation, they the two omitted the words of their visa or illegally entered this united states of america. As for the comprehensive white conservatives being deported lower back to the Europe the area they belong. i became into as quickly as born here and that i'm not precisely sure the way you propose to deliver me lower back to a place i've got below no circumstances been. Are you going to deliver me in possibilities from the place my ancestors immigrated "LEGALLY" from, 25% to Spain, 25% to eire, 25% to Norway and 25% to Scotland, i understand there may well be German in there too yet i'm now not specific of the multiple possibilities?

You have to ask yourself this, how much are you willing to give up? Are you willing to give up your right to medicare or social security so that it can be given to some one here illegally. Illegal aliens used $4 million in health care in our county last year. Who is going to pay for that? Do you think they ask for a bill and try to pay it? NO. Is it fair to those people who are trying to immigrate legally. They did all the work, paid and waited for a chance and followed and respected the laws of out country and yet some other dude just jumps the fence and gets all the rights of a citizen as soon as his shoes hit US soil. Do you get upset when someone cuts in line in front of you?
Should we treat all of our laws the same. Don't pay your taxes because you have moral problem with it. See who is going to come and stand up for you. Yet illegals don't pay taxes and use identity theft so they can work. I don't think they care about breaking that law either.

These people are on a free ride from all the taxpayers in America. If you don't pay taxes you would go to jail. If we just continue putting illegals in jail they continue to be a burden on the taxpayer. There are proper channels to become a citizen but most of the time they're only here for the free ride.

i understand that you feel sad for these people but let me explain why you shouldnt feel so bad for them. if they are coming from mexico, people need to understand that mexico isnt what you think, it isnt a 3rd world country without food or education or healthcare, mexico has jobs, mexicans can get an education in mexico, they can vote, it is a democracy. mexican government is attempting universal health care. i know that in parts of mexico it is hard living, but no harder than some communities i have seen in some southern US states. if they do not like their country then it is up to them to fix their government, it does not justify the illegal crossings into america. remember that millions of immigrants come into america legally, and trust me it isnt easy, but they obey the laws and dont try to take the easy way out. remember also that alot of untaxed money illegals make they send straight to mexico, this is very bad for the US economy, this takes money out of our country without even being taxed.
it is not the obligation of the US people to offer rewards to non citizens for breaking the law. please understand that illegal aliens did not even attempt to enter the US legally. my husband has done it, it is hard but possible, why should they be rewarded when so many others are still waiting and doing things legally.

Yes it is absolutely fair to deport them. They are criminals. Why should they be rewarded w/ citizenship for jumping the line. I say send them back from wherever they came. Illegals have no real interest in being U.S. citizens. They are only interested in milking this country for all it's worth. Get rid of them so all the honest people who have been trying legally for years can get their citizenship. It's time for American's to think about what is in our best interest. Illegal aliens are definatley not it.

Well immigration laws exist thoughout the world for the sole purpose of restricting who lives where.Surely these people know that they are violating the laws.
Better to apply for immigration than to just go to a country and risk the chance of deportation.

Why should people who break laws in this country get automatic citizenship? It's not fair to the immigrants who come here legally and it would send a message to everyone that the law was made to be broken.

I think that if you broke the law in getting here, you should go home and come here legally before you are permitted to work, live, or apply for citizenship here. I think that if you are here illegally, you have a 3-5 year 'hold' on your Visa application as punishment. It would encourage people to come in the right way.
