Should we allow millions of illegals into our country from?

Question

China or England? We need to stop somewhere right? So shouldn't illegal just mean illegal? I understand why so many cross the Southern Border but we have to have limits don't we? Or should we just allow open migration? What do you think would happen if we did that?

Smudge...Yes look at China. Do you want to work for 10 cents an hour and live in a shack of tin? That's what over population causes.

Answer 1

Illegal is a term that is colorblind, It refers to a persons ability to remain in this Country by legal means. It's not ethnic or racist.

Some would have you believe that some "deserve to be here".

Not if they are illegal...NEVER.

To answer your question...Anarchy.
Something Los Angeles has, and something the rest of us will not allow.

Answer 2

You already have a good start on it, we issue 9 million visas a year (2005 stats) and when the visa expires over a third or over 3 milllion just hide out in the country and don't honor it..
Southern border 1 in 7 caught from a terror sponsoring nation, please see State dept. list. They caught over 800,000 and i caught, 5 get through, so you seee we re weel on the way. Just in the last two dynasties you see at least 48 million illegally here from all over. This does not include the folks from Mexico or South America. Merry Christmas. Take care.

Answer 3

ILLEGAL MEANS ILLEGAL!!

I have never stated that we need to just kick out all hispanic illegal immigrants - I state we need to kick out ALL of them!! It doesn't matter what country, religion, sex, color, or sexual orientation - if they are in this nation illegally, they need to be deported!!

As I have stated numerous times, the immigration laws are in place for a reason. They didn't come about because some lawmakers wanted to p!ss off people from other nations - it was to protect the nation and prevent overcrowding! Yes - we used to have no immigration laws. But at that time, we didn't need them! When it got to the point of the "ghettos" and all of the crime happening, and the overcrowding due to immigration, lawmakers decided that there was a need for some immigration laws so that we knew who was coming into the nation, and that they did their fair share while in this nation. We accept more immigrants into this nation than all of the other countries of the world COMBINED. That is INSANE! And yet, there are those that feel the US needs to do more??? What about the countries that the illegals are immigrating from do something to improve things so they have a more desirable nation to live in! Maybe fixing the issue at the root might be better than trying to save the plant by watering the top leaf only. . .

Answer 4

Seems like you should know the truth. DEA (that's a United States organization) has been working on busting the drug cartels in Mexico for a long time. Don't you think we should get out of South America a use the money to protect our borders? Should be obvious since we have failed in Mexico.

Answer 5

You might grow big enough to be able to compete w. the over a billion people in China who will otherwise soon be making you world's number 2 power, the question is what is going to happen since you won't and how much longer you have left at the top now.

Answer 6

We deported illegal aliens from over 180 countries last year.
Did you think we don't deport illegals from China or England?
Did you think we only deport illegals from one country?

To the above poster. The only ones that DESERVE to be here are the ones that followed our immigration laws. Illegal aliens don't "deserve" anything. You talk as if they actually EARNED something and should be rewarded. You don't reward criminals. You 'punish them', in this case, with deportation, so they and others get the message.

Answer 7

230 years something called the Declaration of Independance was signed. If you have ever read it (which im sure you havent) You would see King George tried to limit the people that could come to the new world. There was more than a few europeans that came here "Illegally". Today we have a new tyrant with the same name "President George" who is also limiting immigration. Maybe im the last American who actually understands what "Freedom for all" actually means....but i hope not.

Answer 8

no we should keep deporting those that are here and it force others to leave read the FOLLOWING ARTICLE;Immigration: A new study suggests that the wave of illegal aliens is having a more serious impact -- particularly on welfare spending -- than commonly believed. Is anyone in Washington listening? The study by the Center for Immigration Studies notes that the estimated 10.3 million people who've come here since 2000 represent the greatest-ever migration to the U.S. over a seven-year period. Over the next decade, at current rates, another 15 million will arrive -- the largest immigrant wave in our history. Not bad for a country that supposedly is one of the most unpopular on Earth. That said, the study also notes that more than half the newcomers so far this decade -- 5.6 million -- have come illegally. Of America's 39 million immigrants, representing 12.6% of our total population, at least 12 million are illegal. Most, but not all, come from Mexico and Central America. What exactly do the numbers mean? Well, for one thing, they mean we're importing a lot of poverty -- and it's skewing the debate over key public policy issues. How often, for example, have we been hit over the head with the scary statistic that "48 million Americans don't have health insurance." But the statement is only partly true. According to CIS, 34% of all immigrant households -- or 13.3 million -- don't have health insurance. And of those, 8.3 million are here illegally. They make up 18% of the nation's uninsured, if you count their American-born children. The crisis of the uninsured, in other words, is in significant part an imported one -- one that is costing untold billions. That flies in the face of at least one widely reported recent study that claimed the U.S. spends only $1 billion on the uninsured. Even assuming that illegals use only half the health-care resources per person as the rest of the country, the total is more like $30 billion. CIS also reckons that immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 71% of the increase in the uninsured since 1989 -- a fact that usually goes unremarked upon in the debate over health-care reform. In addition, 59% of the illegal population and their children are at or near poverty. That comes to 8.7 million people, and compares with 19% of native households. This translates into higher use of welfare. Nationwide, 40% of all households headed by illegal aliens use one or more major welfare programs. The share in cash programs is actually quite small -- less than 1%. But 33% of all illegal households get food aid, and another 27% are on Medicaid. Again, this means billions spent each year -- and that doesn't include the growing costs associated with jailing and policing illegals who have turned to crime or gangs. We're not immigrant-bashing here. We agree America is a nation of immigrants, and uniquely so. Nor do we wish to end immigration. But uncontrolled illegal immigration is a big problem, especially for states such as California, Texas, Arizona and Florida. Together, they have 54% of all the illegals and bear the brunt of the problem. States together spend $20 billion a year on illegals' welfare costs alone. That spending has become a kind of subsidy, luring ever more illegals to the U.S. Those that come have fewer skills and less education than the rest of the population. Anyone who thinks waving a magic wand over the illegal population and making them legal will solve the problem is dreaming. "Legalized illegals will still be overwhelmingly uneducated," the CIS report points out, "and this fact has enormous implications for their income, welfare use, health-insurance coverage and the effect on American taxpayers." In short, they've becoming a semi-permanent, welfare-dependent underclass. Unfortunately, when anyone brings this up, charges of "xenophobe" and "racist" get thrown around. But that only keeps us from an honest discussion -- and accounting -- of both the benefits and costs of our burgeoning illegal population. FROM THE ARTICLE; “You can’t spend your entire life waiting to be legal,” said Mr. Borges, 42, reflecting on a hard decision born of lost hopes, new fears and changing economies in both countries since he arrived in 1996. By law, the couple faces a 10-year bar on re-entering the United States, even as visitors.

That decision — to give up on life in the United States — is being made by more and more Brazilians across the country, according to consular officials, travel agencies swamped by one-way ticket bookings, and community leaders in the neighborhoods that Brazilian immigrants have transformed, from Boston to Pompano Beach, Fla.

No one can say how many are leaving. But in the last half year, the reverse migration has become unmistakable among Brazilians in the United States, a population estimated at 1.1 million by Brazil’s government — four to five times the official census figures. FULL ARTICLES ON THE LINK

What about appling this to immigration
We need far less Mexicans, far more Europeans, australians, canadians...

Answer 10
