illegal mexicans means some mexicans broke the law to come to the U.S. they commit the crime then still get a job get paid. Only when they get caught a yr or so later do they get deported only to hop over again not against the legals but the illegals. nothing happens to them. To me, they are already living free. They wanna pay taxes let them, then they'd wished they kept their mouths shut!

It called reverse discrimination and it SUCKS! They should be thrown in prison for not obeying the laws. Can't indict the Mexicans, we wouldn't want to "discriminate" against them now would we. Lets be nice to them and not make them follow the rules like everyone else, we might offend them. You know they whole dang thing just pisses me off and I think that it is a steaming shovel full.

BonesofaTeacher when most people do illegal things, they don't start protesting in the streets trying to get amnesty for doing them now do they? The way I look at it is this: If I were a thief I would damn sure not walk around with a spot light shining on myself while breaking into a house, which is fundamentally what the illegals are doing by marching in the streets.\n\nI agree sometimes the laws need to change, but this is not one of those laws. The only way to not discriminate in this issue is to not grant amnesty to the illegals, because that discriminates against everyone who did it the right way.\n\nSaul, what is the big deal about being a felon here, if your deported back to Mexico? It isn't. So the illegals becoming felons is a moot point. Now for the people here, that is a nice deterrent to keep them from helping illegals.

I'm with you in that I also do not believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to sue anyone in the USA.  The way I look at it, they committed the first crime by being in the country illegally and if they had not done so, whatever "wrong" was done to them could not have been done, so they are responsible for having "caused" any wrong to be done to them by being here illegally, in the first place.  As soon as they file a lawsuit and their illegal status is revealed, I think they should be immediately deported.  Let them continue with their lawsuit from their home country, if they still want to.

All illegal immigrants pay sales tax on goods, obviously.  Some do pay federal taxes on their wages, some, not all.\n\n(Not all illegal immigrants are from Latin America.)

Yeah, we all support them with the money we are forced by taxation to pay to meet their needs while they live tax free. And no, I don't want to support them because it lessen the amount of cash I have to support myself. What part of illegal doesn't our government understand? They need to be arrested, prosecuted and then ship them home pronto! Otherwise every American person arrested for an 'illegal' act should sue for wrongful detainment/discrimination.

Illegal immigrants are no different than when someone commits other crimes such as shop lifting, pick pocketing, tax evasion, it's illegal.  I don't mean to sound cold hearted but the law is the law; there has to be equal importance to all laws, that's what this country was founded on.  I know that every one of our families at some point and time were immigrants, but they went threw the process of becoming an American citizen because they liked what the country had to offer.  Most people aren't fighting to keep certain people out, they're just looking for the laws that are in place to be in forced.  Like I state before if I can be put in jail for speeding which is breaking the law than the same should be enforced for illegal anything.

Americans are willing to do the jobs that illegals do! When I was in high school I picked oranges in the summer and worked in packing houses, and so did a lot of my friends.  The difference is illegals work for next to nothing, something that Americans can't do.  The next time you say that they do the jobs that we are too lazy to do, please think about all the hardworking Americans that won't be able to earn a decent wage, pay taxes, and support our economy because an Illegal is  working for twenty-five cents an hour.  Those same taxes that their employers aren't paying are being paid by the rest of us, and when an illegal gets hurt on the job he or she isn't going to be denied emergency health care.  This ultimately causes the rest of us honest tax payers to cover that burden.  Thinking that illegals are necessary for our economy to function doesn't make any sense, the ONLY people it helps are the law breaking businesses who hire them.  Isn't it funny how liberals who are normally incredibly anti-big business are all for cheap illegal labor?

I agree. Illegal Immigrants should be deported-- They come here by committing a crime a country that they "love". Then they get mad at the govetrnment and protest with Mexican flags. I just feel they love Mexico more than america and they are only here to leach off of our government (which they are)

I THINK THEY CALL THEM "ILLEGALS" BECAUSE THEY COME HERE "ILLEGALLY" (*CRACKERS* DO THAT...)lol for real...anyways they always talk bad about them and yea you are right they talk as if they commited a big crime like bomb the twin towers like you said but all they did was suffer to cross the border and provide a better life for their families in america..... is that really a crime? sure i think if an illegal or ANYONE who commits something that is against the law like killing someone should go to jail...but they shouldn't be deported for trying to suceed in life.....:-)

ILLEGALS PAY TAXES and this is why there are so many.  It is impossible to become legal....it is called oppression in my book.  To become legal at least for the Mexicans.....They have to apply and wait at least 15 years for a denial or acceptance.  Lets use an analogy..  My child graduated high school at 18 years old....then has to wait 15 years to be gainfully employed....that means he will be 33 years old before he is able to become employed....what sense does that make....in the meantime what does he do to support himself?  Here are my thoughts on why this situation is as it is and will continue to stay as so:\n\nI don't wish to offend you but I do wish to inform you..... There is no TAX Free money in regards to the majority of the illegals.... unless they work in cash paying jobs ... like construction for example... Lots of people hide in the construction business for that very reason..... illegals are just working in construction. We have American dead beat dads who work in it too so they get easy money under the table as we call it so as not to pay child support. Most industries pay with payroll checks. If an illegal works in an industry that does pay with payroll checks then the appropriate federal and state taxes are removed. I recently did a spot check on payroll checks from the main industry in my town from 4 different illegal pay stubs..... 2 from poultry and 2 from restaurants. I did an estimate based on those 4 pay stubs in regards to the shifts worked at each one of those industries. I had an estimate of State taxes paid in to my state of $64,000.00. I did not figure up the Federal Taxes but you best believe that they have been raking it in also. Please keep in mind that the county that I live in is not ranked among the largest in my state. I would love to be able to do a State wide survey, but the problem is getting people to trust you not to use their information against them. You may be surprised to also be informed that at least 2 of these people had health insurance for which they paid for & utilized, they also had an additional voluntary $5.00 taken out each week as a donation for United Way Fund. I did no guesstimates on those donations, but just these 2 people alone donate a solid figure of $520.00 @ year which has to be noted as community service. IT WAS A REAL EYE OPENER TO ME. Please understand that the illegal does not file federal income taxes.... he does fall in a low income category and would be eligible to receive most of his tax money paid in as refunds... now do you really think that our government wants to make them legal so they have to give that money back ..... NO, of course not. The fence is going to be a joke. Who cares build the fence. The American public has clamored that they wish for this atrocity to be built. Then once all those billions of dollars are sunk into the building of this shameful wall......there will be no money for mass deportations...You seed this is why the government is building this wall... We all know that it will not serve the purpose for which it is built....They didn't even build a levy that could protect New Orleans..... the illegals crossing are just as unpredictable.....Build the fence so they will be able to say later well we don't have the money now for deportations.......Also you will see discounts on ladders on the other side of the border. You just need a ladder to safely scale the wall without a scratch. .THE POLITICIANS DO NOT WANT TO SEND THE ILLEGAL BACK

I am sorry that some people do not understand what "illegal means. You make a great point.\n Americans are ALL immigrants from another country. When we become Americans through birth or through the proper citizenship procedures, we have the right to vote on American policies and laws (at the age of 18).\n\n The fact is, we have voted and the law is that anyone from another country can't just move here without going through the proper procedures. It is ILLEGAL to do so and that is why they are called Illegal Immigrants. It is not because everyone hates immigrants.  my father is a LEGAL immigrant, am I racist against my own father? That is ridiculous.\n  I understand that things are bad in Mexico. When my Father came here, his family(my family) was starving, too.\nNot only that but, their house was bombed when they were in it. So was the shelter they moved to. Despite all of this, they still had to wait. As a matter of fact, my Grandfather had to join the American Army, too. And he was happy to do it.\n  I have a lot of empathy for people that have things much worse than I do but, breaking the law is breaking the law.\n\nI dare any American to go to Mexico and break a law. See if they are as kind to you there as we are here. Not, likely.\nOr, go to Mexico Illegally and then try to protest. You will be spending the rest of your days in a Mexican prison.

Honey, you are barking up the wrong tree by trying to rationalise this problem with those who are willingly crossing our borders and breaking our laws.  Why SHOULD they change this behaviour?  Why SHOULD they fix their own country's system?  They can come here, illegally, but no one seems to mind.. they can work for cash and pay no taxes and take that money back to Mexico.. AND they can apply for and RECIEVE public assistance..INCLUDING welfare CHECKS.. and all of THAT money goes back to Mexico as well.  WE are funding their country and their government only has to tell them HOW.   Don't think for a minute that this is fantasy.. I worked for the department of Social Services in California and I was REQUIRED to give them the benefits even though they were illegal.. and I was FORBIDDEN to even SAY the words 'green card' to them. why?  because it might OFFEND them!!  Needless to say, I didn't stay long.. but I did take the time to talk to many of my clients.. yes, the illegal ones [after all, they made up 90%!! of my case load] and they explained the entire process to me.. all the time LAUGHING at how STUPID we Americans are to ALLOW them to do it.  So, I know what I'm talking about.

"Illegal Mexicans" come to America for the same reasons that your ancestors came to America.  America is the land of oppurtunity and unlike many other countries, America is somewhat of a meritocracy.  America is a beacon of light that advertises itself as the land of the free and the home of the brave.  \n\nYou shouldn't call them "illegal Mexicans."  They have every right to be here as you do.  Unless you are 100% Native American, somebody in your family was an immigrant.  Even if your family came over on the Mayflower, your ancestors were once "illegal  XXXXXX" as well.  Who are you to say that you are "legal" and some others are "illegal"?

Did they leave when they were done?  \nthen good, they are not illegal, they are Mexican citizens living in Mexico.  Good for them.  Why didn't they take the illegal aliens who are working in New Orleans back with them?

It seems that over time people use the term "illegal immigrant" very nonchalantly.\n\nLet's analyze this phrase for a moment, shall we?\n\nOK, the first part- illegal-Prohibited by law.\n\npart 2- immigrant- A person who leaves one country to settle permanently in another.\n\nLaw- The body of rules and principles governing the affairs of a community and enforced by a political authority; a legal system.\n\nSo it is against the law...hmm... DUH!! They are illegal! AKA not allowed! AKA forbidden! AKA it is not okay!\n\nNow was that so hard?

And then they get deported. Yay! *golf clap*\n\nSeriously, who cares if a Mexican takes a janitorial job under the table for virtually nothing. Are you gonna clean those toilets? Who cares if an illegal immigrant is taking up space? Deport him if its a problem, but please people... stop b!itching about the illegals. They are illegal. They get deported or they scramble to make a life here without any government services. Either way, who cares?
