Subject: TRY THIS CRAP IN MEXICO\nIf you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime,\nTRY THIS:Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas,international law, or any of that nonsense.\nOnce there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate abundantly.Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive\nbehavior with, "It is a cultural USA thing. You would not understand,pal."Keep your American identity strong.  Fly Old Glory from your rooftop,or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.\nDemand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal ability to work.

You did a great job at summarizing my feelings too!  I definitely agree with you.  Remember, United We Stand, Divided We Fall.    And I thought the time spent in history class with wasted. I am beginning to see some similarities here.  I still don't understand how any red-blooded American can sit idly by and allow this to happen.  I have become very vocal with my congressmen, senators, representatives, etc.  And you know, they actually act like them are glad to hear from me. The more people they have telling them how they feel about the situation, the stronger our (We the People) voice will be.  \n\nP.S.  I would only go to Mexico and do those things you mentioned if I had a death wish!!

ok u know what?... i'm going to be honest with u.. cause this is actually making me crazy!... i've been talking about this issues for more than weeks now..  had big arguments with my father because of this... my famyly came to the united states with visa.. after a couple of years the united states granted us the residence... to all this.. my parents had been paying taxes since they arrive to this country and decided to stay... this is the case for many people.. that dont actually are from MEXICO .. for your information and for many others that are going to read this.. let me tell u this... many people that happen to come to the united states are also from south america and central america... and many "north americans" tend to label everyone as MEXICANS... this bring disconfort to many people.. i think u should start thinking about how u think about this....\ni know many people that work and do a lot for this country's economy.. and i do agree that many people that want to be legal here don't deserve it... and those should be returned to their own country... \ni also think that many people living here need to get educated and realize that if they're going to protest for their legal status.. they shouldn't be taking their countries flag because of course.. we're talking about USA... not mexico, guatemala, el salvador and many other countries.. they came here.. they live here and they should learn to speak english and become civilized people... \ni also think that the idea of singing the national us anthem in spanish was a bad idea.. i know it was done with the best thoughts but i agree when they say that the anthem it's something that should be sang in the language of the country... i would feel offended by something like that too.. and i ask for an apology to those that agree with me...

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, no, we don't want you to stay.  You do *NOT* have the same rights as Americans, just as Americans in Mexico do not have the same rights as Mexican citizens.\n\nYour "papi" may work hard to put food on the table.  But, go over to the family section of Y!Answers and find all the posts from LEGAL citizens who have been jobless for a year or more.  You don't think they are jobless has anything to do with ELEVEN MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, do you?\n\nSo, no, we can't all just get along together.  Papi needs to go back home; he needs to apply for legal immigration status and wait his turn behind the other HONEST people who have already applied for legal immigration.\n\nAnd, read again the answer of 'just a mom' ~ she is very right and it sadly is very typical.  You begin by calling legal Americans names and THEN you tell us you have the same rights and we should all just get along.  What do you think is wrong with that picture?

why? I tell you why. When you apply for the american visa (the passport is really easy to get) the u.s. goverment ask for WAY TOO MANY things such a: prove you work in mexico, how much you get paid, do you own your house, what kind of job do you do? etc etc. Last time I had to apply for my visa they even asked the name of my freaking dog!!!! seriously, it doesnt matter if you have a great job, if you own your house, if you rent, if you are a decent person,  if the customs officer thinks you are ugly, if he is hungry, if you dont speak enough english to be able to answer their questions or just because he is moody, then they  wont give you the visa! I hate the fact that "gringos" think that the illegal people in the US are only mexicans HELLO???? what about people from el salvador, argentina, peru, etc? I'm mexican and I'm very afraid to cross the border these days when I see in the news that stupid gringos (not calling everyone stupid ok?)are burning mexican restaurants up, are burning my mexican flag and talk s*hit about all mexicans like we all want to be working in the united states. BS! I have a great job in mexico, I'm staying in the US at the moment because I'm staying with my bf for a few weeks(yeah, I cross the border like 4 days a week and yes i have my permit to stay in the states for six months) and believe me: I love my job and I dont want to be in the states working as a secretary or even worse at mcdonalds!  I think people from my country go to the US because their local goverment dont do s*hit to improve their situation and all the want is a better life for them and their families and for some reason they hear great things about US that they want to live "the american dream". I feel so bad for all those who work with a fake ID because they live afraid of the border patrol but in the other hand, they think that is the only way to make some money to have food on their tables and yes, send some money to those who are still living in mexican hell. it really depends on the state you live in. I'm in Baja California and life here is better, there are jobs for everyone but if those who go to the states dont stay here is because they didnt even finish elementary school and unfortunately that is a requirement for the simple jobs. so, if they cross the border to go to US, they dont even have to read to pick up tomatos or corn... And for those who said the illegals dont want to pay taxes... how are they going to pay taxes if the have right for nothing in the states? and I dont think they are bad for your country or your economy at all. they do all the job that people in the states refuse to do :)\nyou should get those terrorists that want to destroy your country instead of the poor people that are making posible for you to have fresh veggies on your table or making burritos for you.

Einstein is your leader?  Sorry.\n\nI don't want them to stay and I don't want anyone to come--we are too crowded period. I care about the land-period.\n\nIf you do stay-life goes on. I will adjust. I will not support law breaking. I will not support a bad government (we have one too). But I do not break the laws. I won't go out of my way to turn someone in for being here and I will be nice to all-just don't ask me to break a law or lie for you. I will not pretend everything is fine-I face facts. And many problems have been caused by the flood of people coming in. And more will be coming. Sad but true.\n\nMy conclusion is--our government will do just a little on the border to appease the people. Not a lot. I am not sure what they will do on Amnesty. If they say OK fine. \n Do I want it this way-no.\n  \nAnd if we combine--I hope we don't destroy the land in Mexico with our constance building and rape of the land. And letting in more than we can pay for or care for.\n\nEinstein? Hasn't he gone over the edge  of reasoning a little?

You are not one of the Mexicans they are talking about, you sound just as much and maybe a little more American than me. Some times we got to blur the line between right and wrong. My dad came here illegally but became a citizen 6 years ago. You have to take what you want sometimes if you want it that bad. But you sound like you have a great life, why do you what to come here so bad? -Dallas, TX

Yea I know this is long... Sorry.\nAmerica's front doors are wide open and ALL are welcome. However there is a system and process. Slipping in to the good old USofA in ANY other way is plain and simple wrong.\nAmerica is a GREAT country... but it is great because we have made it that way. Not because we let every illegal immigrant that walks in freely conform it to they way they wish their homeland was. \nIf your illegal, get legal! Until then conform or go home.\nIt is that simple. \n\nAmerica OWES YOU NOTHING - But is willing to OFFER YOU EVERYTHING... If you will only start off on the right foot. Stand in line go through the process and become a citizen. Then when you have the right to vote you can help form the future of this great nation.\nUntil then the American tax payers should not have to pay for immigrants public education, medical expenses, welfare and so on. I don't care where you have immigrated from go through our front door. \nLook at all the protesters (just here in Houston). If all of these people would STAND UP AND PROTEST IN THEIR HOME CONTIRES. Maybe the daily wage wouldn't be 4 dollars. Don't come crying to our government if you are not willing to stand up to yours.\nOf all the protestors I have seen, ONLY ONE WAS CARRING AN AMERICAN FLAG! The rest are waving the Mexican flag. That says NOTHING of their desire to be American citizens, it boldly says their home country is still foremost on their minds and hearts. If your so fond of Mexico, I'd suggest you march south instead of North and start making a difference in a country that you have a legal say in.\n\nThese immigrants (not just from Mexico) are not looking to become Americans and help make the United States better. They simply want to benefit from the hard work of generations of Americans and ride their coat tails to a better life.\nMost have little interest in learning what has made the US a great Nation. Heck some of the protesters can't even speak the language. The majority of these immigrants simply want to reap the benefits of being in the US and still be a native of their home land. I am not saying that they should forget their past or loose the love of their homeland but the majority have no interest in the American way or building our country, they just want the rewards of being here.\nI have serious doubts there are would be many if any Americans that would move to another country to escape such a horrid life and EXPECT TO HAVE A SAY in the way their new country is run, EXPECT to be taken care of, EXPECT to be educated, EXPECT to have their medical needs met all at no cost. Never mind if they wer there illigally!\nSpanish is a wonderful and beautiful language... but it is not the language of the United States. Why on earth would you expect that our public schools would educate you and on top of that hire extra teachers to educate you in your native tongue? You want a free education... the least you could do is learn English. I spent time in Okinawa, and Saudi. While there I made every effort to learn their language and customs. You need to do the same.\n\nAs to the "These immigrants do the work that Americans are to lazy to do or not willing to do". That is just dumb.\nAmericans are willing and will do any of these jobs. They are not however willing to do them for less than minimum wage. By immigrants moving to America and taking jobs (which to them pay more in an hour than they can make in a day) they are not helping America they are crippling it.\nThey do not see that it is supply and demand!\nIf they are willing to do it for less, then there are those who will let them. That only hurts the next immigrant that has gone through the process legally.\nHard to believe that if they came through the front door and had nothing to be worried about or hide, that they would actually make more money. \nIsn't that what they want in the first place? \n\nI have two high school kids that will in all probability not g

Now, you are a Mexican person that I can try to understand.  However, I also feel as Hayleylov does about your "loving Mexico."  If you love Mexico, why did you leave it?  If you love Mexico, why don't you go back there and try to help that country?  Why don't you just admit that Mexico is an awful country because they don't love or help their people?  If they did, their people wouldn't be making tracks to the USA for a better life!  I would understand you more if you said that you love your people and your culture, but that you don't love the government of Mexico and that you want to do something to change things back home.  I like that you seem to understand how the American citizens feel about the marching in the streets of the illegal immigrants and the waving of their flag while doing so.  However, you also say, "I want our country to thrive here and some day we can have mexican people in the senate and we can help more of our people and become stronger but not by hating them it wont happen that way my people lets me nice to them."  That whole sentence is offensive to American citizens!  No, you should want your country to thrive in Mexico, not here, and you should fix the government of Mexico, not state how you want Mexicans in the senate [in the USA] - that is not the way into the heart of Americans. That still sounds like you are "taking over."  Stop that kind of talk if you want to be accepted in the USA!  I, also, am from two countries - I was born in the USA and now live in Canada, having immigrated (legally) to Canada with my family many years ago and I have legal citizenship of both countries. I also love both countries very much!  However, I did not come to Canada saying that we Americans are going to take over Canada and place our American people into positions in the Canadian government, etc.,  Yes, be nice to the American citizens and talk about how much you love the USA and your mother country of Mexico and how you hope to make things better for your people in Mexico one day.  That is a much better and more acceptable way to be speaking when you have come to another country.  Believe me!

Thank You,someone else in my situation.My husband,too,is illegal.He got stopped at the border and immigration let him in america after 3 mos in jail.And he is mexican also.They gave him a social security card(for all those who think "mexicans" steal them)and a temp. visa.He met me and never went back.We pay our taxes ---- alot of them,and with HIS social security#.Property tax,insurance,dental,medical(for us and 4 kids),we pay it all.My husband supports 2 of my kids who aren't even his-they are white.Their boilogical father has nothing to do with them and we were married for 5 yrs.My husband is a great man,and is way better than alot of legal/born americans.When we can save the money,he will get legal(hopefully).Until then,he works,pays taxes,and doesn't get welfare.And uses his own ss#.Hope it helps to know someone else like you.

Guys...the way this is being described (even in this forum) reminds me of Nazi Germany. Language like "round 'em up". We have to find a safe way for people to extend their visas, get visas and travel between the border if they want to. As someone mentioned, border jumping is scary. And it is not like these are bad or immoral people. They just want to work--build a life for themselves and their familiy at any cost. That is very American if you ask me. Very nobel. Lets do this the right way. If an employer hires an illegal worker we need to really hit them hard. People wouldn't come and stay if they couldn't support themselves. Lets target the places of employment.

My nephew went to Mexico City in January to visit his g-ma(he is a US citizen).He liked it so much he stayed.He only has a tourist visa.They offered him a job at a car delearship with incentives because he's bilingual.He took it.I can guarantee you he wasn't "looking".He's a lazy little booger.So I guess yes,it is easy.\nHe is now an illegal immigrant,his visa expired.*hilarious*

I may be silly to treat this as a legitimate question, however:\n\nTheoretically, I'd say let the Mexican's vote on it. I am absolutely certain that those in power would want to stay there and there would be war. However, again theoretically, if that could occur peacefully, and Mexican people wanted it, it might not be a bad idea. We have been able to leverage our natural resources into taking care of our people (and much of the world's overflow) well enough that people are trying to come here illegally in floods our immigration policy has determined to be too overwhelming to assimilate legally.\n\nIf we had all of Mexico's natural resources, I don't see any reason why we couldn't do the same thing there, after which they might be happy with their own land, and we would all love to visit them. \n\nI like Mexicans, when they aren't illegally draining education funds to support multilingual education to the point where it is impossible to educate my own kids to the level I am paying for as a taxpayer. I think they are hard working, have wonderful family values, and are warm people on an individual basis. I wouldn't mind at all being in the same country with them if they brought their natural resources with them so that we could leverage them to pay for the additional population, at an American lifestyle level.\n\nHowever, we went into Iraq with all the best intentions (I hope), and look what happened there. We thought the Kurds and Shiites would magically bond to install a unified government, and never considered that our enemies in the terrorist world would be so threatened they would gather in Iraq to make life for innocent citizens there a living hell.\nI gave my confidence to our government when we went over, assuming they had more information than I did, and I still thing they did what they thought was best. However, when you remove the lid from a pressure cooker, things can blow up.\n\nIn a theoretical world, I think the idea is possible, if the Mexican's wanted it. In the real world, I think we'd better fix our crystal ball before we try to 'fix' someone else's country.\n\nHaving said that, I don't want our lifestyle to become reduced just because it is better than that of our neighbors. I think we need to set a reasonable immigration policy and enforce it. We can only absorb so much and still keep our culture recognizable. Granted that every immigrating group has added flavor to the mix, I don't agree one group should come in here illegally and try to dominate the home culture by their numbers. \n\nI do not speak of race. I am speaking of assimilation. I am also thinking of a balance of immigration which includes other countries besides those physically closest to us. \n\nSorry. Too long.

Our Senators said F.U. the American people.  I so agree with Godzilla.  Also think about this, how many more illegal women are thinking of getting knocked up while here as a guest worker.  They are supposed to go home after two years,  how are we going to make them go home if they have a bunch of American kids? We need to revoke that privilege if we are to curtail further illegal immigration. If an illegal alien has a child here, that child should be the nationality of the mother's home country.   They may start to think twice about coming here if we do that in conjunction with tighter security at the border, and making it a felony for an employer to knowingly hire illegals. We can't just have more border patrol agents because guess what, the word has already gone to Mexico and even more are going to come storm our border to nullify to new additions to the B.P.  What do we do now?
