It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" \nIn fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used \nin federal laws and regulations to describe criminals \n(and they ARE criminals) \nwho come into our country illegally. \nThey are not illegal immigrants, \nnot undocumented immigrants, \nnot migrant workers, \nand not day laborers - \nthey're ILLEGAL ALIENS. \n\n2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. \nBy sending its teeming masses to our country, \nthat status keeps on rising. \nMexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. \nand plenty of money to take care of its own people. \nWhy should the taxpayers of this country \nsubsidize Mexico's corruption? \n\n3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. \nLou Dobbs recently reported that \n33 percent of our prison population \nis now comprised of non-citizens. \nPlus, \n36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. \nSo, for a good proportion of these people, \nthe American dream is crime and welfare, \nnot coming here to work. \n\n4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. \nWhat jobs won't Americans do? \nIn most states, \nAmericans still clean their own houses, \ndo their own landscaping, \nclean hotel rooms, \nwork in restaurants and fast food places, \npaint houses, \nDO CONSTRUCTION WORK, \nwork in airports, etc. - \njust like we have the past 200 years \nbefore "our" government allowed these people \nto invade our country. \nThere are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, \nso illegal aliens who are coming here to work \ndo so at peril to American workers. \n\n5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost.\nCertainly the millions in prison and on welfare \naren't contributing a dime to our economy, \nand the ones who are working often are paid in cash \nwith no deductions for taxes at all. \nThe ones who use fraudulent social security numbers \nand qualify to pay taxes and social security \nhave so many deductions for dependents \nthat they pay little if any taxes. \nWe have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes \nand get back $4,000 refunds \n(thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents).\n\nSome bargain, eh? \n\n6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. \nSure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) \nand business owners depend on illegal aliens, \nbut due to #3, #4 and #5 above, \nthe only thing illegal aliens are contributing to \nis the collapse of our economy \nand making the rich richer. \n\n7. Without illegal aliens, \nthe price of agricultural products \nand other goods and services will NOT soar. \nThe definitive study on this subject \nis the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" \nThe study concludes \nthat 'since labor is such a small component \nof the end-price of agricultural products \n(which includes price to the growers, \ntransportation costs, processing /storage costs, \ngrocers' profit, etc.), \nusi

A simple statistical analysis of the answers to a random sampling of your questions regarding 'Mexicans/immigration' yielded the following results:\n\nThose who agree with PANCHA:\n19%\n\nThose with neutral viewpoints:\n11%\n\nThose who disagree with PANCHA:\n70%\n\nI think it's safe to conclude that most people, at least those who post on YA, disagree with where you stand on this topic.  Even IF you were able to persuade the 11% neutral vote to agree with you, you would still be outnumbered by over 2-to-1.  What does this mean:  It means:\n\n...No one is buying into your repetitive rhetoric!...\n\nI admire your 'pluck', and I mean that sincerely, but at this point any question you pose with regard to this issue is just an exercise in futility; in other words,... it's a waste of your time.  \n\nSo, please, take your own advice, and GET A LIFE.

How could mexicans walk around Illegally in their own country?\n\nDid you mean forefathers?  or fourfathers?\n\nAre all illegals Mexican?  \n\nAre all Mexicans illegal?\n\nReally, there is no simple answer. If you are genuinely concerned about this issue, I advise you to get as many facts together as you can.  Statistics, demographics, etc..\nRead various economic and cultural impact studies that would result from one type of action as opposed to others. \n\nThis issue is very complex, and you can not really provide a straight answer to a question blurted out of frustration.

Your questions cannot be answered. They are nothing more than logical fallacies. To illustrate my point, try asking yourself, "Why am I so dumb?, Why is it that I am so dense as to what is going on in the country today?, How can I give such blind hatred to a president who is clearly ... working in the best interest of the American people?, When did being me become more important than being and American?, Am I stupid or just too lazy to pay attention?" As you can see, it is not possible to answer the questions.\n\nIf you would like meaningful answers to specific questions, try including references to things that demonstrate your question. For example, you could ask, "Why was Dick Chaney so stupid as to shoot his friend?" The answer of course, is that it was an accident. If you believe the president is not working in the best interest of the country, please explain why and you may get responses that address the issue.\n\nOn the other hand, the questions themselves really do demostrate why conservatives are smart and you are not.

I hate the fact that people with different opinions are labeled like cans on a store shelf, I'm not a liberal, nor a Conservative, I'm an American. I love this country and do not want to see it turned into a tird world country via the stupidity of other people. The truth is a very powerful word, and what one person sees as a truth, another person sees as a lie, it all depends on how gullible, greedy, and or miserable a person is, thus they may or may not make rational decisions. Much more can be argued regarding your question, but I don't wish to discuss it any further than this. I just hope that more people would take the time to study the whole picture before they draw conclusions.

Let's see, how many idiots are there on Yahoo Answers answering questions they know nothing about and asking really stupid questions (hmm?)? Do you really care? If it bothers you, you can always add a your own answer or vote or comment on the best answer when voting's over. But if it bothers you enough that you want to essentially spam everyone with it, then Yahoo Answers probably is not the place for you - we don't even get paid, who says they expect fully accurate and thoughtful information?\n\nOtherwise, you're just making a big deal out of something you don't even consider that important (in which case I'll take a couple points). If that's the case, you are lying, which is just as bad as what you're complaining about.\nOr do you just like the attention?

Well, according to all the SUPER INTELLIGENT liberals - you're crazy.\n\nFortunately, no one with an IQ over 55 pays any attention to them insofar as having any VALID points on how to IMPROVE things. If MANTRAS and WHINING translated to ACTUAL PROGRESS - we'd be living in LIBERAL UTOPIA right now.\n\nPersonally, I lean right - but I wouldn't be sorry to see Bush pack his bags and move out tonight. He has surrounded himself with idiots - just like his father did. He's out of touch with the public in general and most of his support base specifically. \n\nAs I say frequently: Bush is a MORON - but he's still 100 X BETTER than ANYONE the LIBERAL DEMOCRATS have.\n\n\nstephenvest@...: Steve buddy! Snap out of it! get a grip! ANYONE that checks your history of questions will RECOGNIZE YOU for EXACTLY the LITTLE LEFTY PROPAGANDA MONGER YOU ARE... THAT is the ONLY REASON you're here. Sad to be THAT RABID over such CRAPPY PHILOSOPHIES. You need to get out more into the REAL WORLD.

The answer is all in Third  question in your Question.Now people need to ask why are they.Then go looking for the answer.It would take at least 10hrs of typing,that's at 60 words per minute,to just to begin to explain what all this Bush Bunch is about,who they are and what they are up to.\nIf you will just take the responsibility of your freedoms,and beguine to question and do research to find the answers,You will Quickly see why some of us are so angry.

Economics my friend.\n\nNo one is against no one here, but those of us who need the masses need to have a way of controlling them too.\n\nInfluence, makes you achieve results. Influence thoughts, outcomes, results and whatever you can.\n\nA lot of people are asking very risky questions, the interpertations may differ -but the questions will be answered one way or the other.\n\nAn irrational reaction is always the result of a dirth in personality. A gap within themselves that they like to fill up by creating a drama act around the facts.\n\nWHy do you think anybody would hate anyone, does anyone alive today had any say about our place, family, country, race, color or creed of birth? No. Nature had intended this and who can fight nature. We can only twist and turn but never undo whatever has been done.

Educate yourself.  Most anti's are ignorant, ill informed and feed on propaganda.  If you know the truth and are educated in the science then you will be able to win every argument.  You know you are right now go out and get the data and the facts to back your own beliefs.

I think it is a horrible idea. The general population is far to ignorant to make informed decisions. Note that I'm not calling people stupid, just ignorant, which can be fixed if they are willing to take the time to educate themselves. \n\nA quick example: I once saw a question on Y! Answers if Bill Clinton was impeached. It was not a partisan question, just a question of historical fact, whether it happened or not. At least 40% of the answers said "no, he wasn't". (which is wrong, he was impeached) Obviously, this is not a scientific poll, but you can see my point that many people are ignorant of major political events as little as 8 years ago.\n\nLook at the number of TV shows (like Leno) that have segments where they ask college graduates simple questions about our country (who is the current president, who was the first president, how many states are there, etc.) and how many people don't know the answers.\n\nTheoretically, with an educated population, direct democracy would be great. Unfortunately, our population is not educated, never will be enough to responsibly participate in a direct democracy. It sounds nice in theory, but reality makes it a very bad idea.\n\n\n...a quick amendment...\nI think it could work, even with an uneducated population on the following conditions: each voter must first pass a test before they are allowed to vote. The test would not have any opinions, just facts about how our government works and the current issues. The other condition would be that everything would require a super majority to pass, something like 75% or 80%. This would prevent most special interest abuse because only things that the vast majority of people agree on get passed.

if you can, go through 3rd party sources, i.e. the BBC or something like that. There aren't too many places in this country that are objective anymore, so there is likely to be a bias to most of what you find concerning them. Good luck, and don't believe anyone's spin, learn everything for yourself. Never trust a politition.
