Can US run without immigrants. First they should learn how to respect the people who helped their country. What do you guys feel?

Its the nature of america. Definitely they can run without immigrants, but will be one among the countries like uganda, thailand something like that. But there are some good people too we should respect them. There are lot of worst peoples here so its difficult to find the good people, but there are some.

I agree with you 100%! If you speak your mind , you're considered insensitive and racist! My great-grandparents came here , got a job, learned English, respected the customs and didn't ask for hand outs unlike the millions today!! It's sad really and more "real" Americans should stand up and take our country back but they won't! They just sit there and take it! I went to a immigration protest and the "illegals" out numbered us 20 to 1! Time to take it back!!

Send them back and let them fix up their own country with the money we give them...We have our own country to worry about and cant even get that right!!

What Dr. Know Says is true except he left out one bit of fact:\n\nWe fought for it and won!  Now unless some other country wants to stand up and fight for it (say Mexico for example) like we did, then I suggest they shut the f*ck up and go back to their own country!  We made laws so that we could keep undesirables out of our perfect country.  If they can't abide by our laws and respect our rules thereby showing respect to us as a Nation then they should not be allowed to live here!\n\nAdri:  Wah, wah wha!  Here's a novel idea:  Stay in their own country and fight to make it better for there decendants instead of coming over here demanding rights they did not earn.  Those jobs you mentioned would be done by Americans for a decent wage if the low life criminals who call themselves immigrants weren't stealing those jobs just by coming over here and making themselve available for cheap labor.\n\nRicky:  That's the first intelligent thing I've read on yahoo answers today.\n\nQuack:  You are so right.  You rock!

As citizens of the United States of America, We have a duty to preserve this nation and demand that the immigration laws be upheld for future generations.\n    The old people have a saying:  "We do not own the land, We inherit it from our children."  \n I would feel very badly if I did not do my best to leave this land at least as good as what I was born into.  \n  Enforce our immigration laws.

If they are here illegally, they should have NO rights other than to be treated in a humane manner when they are ushered out.  They need to get the hell back where they came from, and if they wish to enter our country do so legally, just like thousands do every year.  I have no sympathy for those who enter our country illegally.  I welcome those who follow our laws and enter legally, no problem with those people at all.  If someone has no compunction about entering our country illegally, what other types of illegal conduct are they going to display once here?

I believe we need to have an immigration reform now! It's necessary. The answer is not in sending illegal immigrants back to their countries, and it's not in legalizing all of them either. I think many undocumented immigrants do a lot for this country and help the economy, just like many of them hurt it. I think, though it's a lot of work, illegal immigrants need to be scanned and get a background check done on them. If they've payed taxes, haven't been receiving federal aid, and are trying to better themselves by at least trying to learn English and showing proof of that,  I'd say they deserve legal residence in the country just as much as a U.S. born citizen.\n\nMany people share their opinions on immigration when they really haven't been exposed to it. They assume that all illegal immigrants aren't paying taxes and are receiving welfare. They think that they should stay in their country and improve economy there. I agree that citizens of other countries need to try and help, but it's a really tough job, and with all the corruption in other countries, it's almost impossible, so the escape is coming to the U.S. to work hard for a better life, despite being so far away from their families.\n\nSo here's an essay I read that I would like to share. Maybe it'll give you a better perspective of what immigrants go through and not be so negative towards them:\n\nImmigrant dreams  \n\nBy Ana Tenorio, 15, Orthopedic Medical Magnet HS    \nI always knew my parents had come here from Mexico illegally but I didn't know any of the details. I was busy hanging out with my family and friends, going to school or longing to go to a show for the rockabilly band the Horrorpops. I would cry when I saw the news reports about people drowning in the Rio Grande or dying in the desert while trying to cross the border, but then I would go back to my life. I never gave my parents' stories much thought until the recent immigration debate.\n\nAs I heard about the protests and the school walkouts over HR 4437, the bill that would make it a felony to be undocumented, I became curious about how and why my parents had come here.\n\nWhen I was a child, my dad and grandma told me stories about Mexico so I would appreciate my home. I knew that some people live in huts made from sticks. Beans and tortillas are the daily food, meat and cheese are too expensive. The flu or cancer couldn't be treated by a doctor because there was not enough money for it. I saw this when I went to Mexico for the first time five years ago to visit my mom's hometown in Michoacán. It was sad to see a woman whose roof was falling apart. I had never seen this kind of poverty before.\n\nBut I hardly knew anything about my dad's childhood. The most I knew was that he began working at an early age, picking up tree branches for his mom to use as firewood for cooking. It was a constant example he used to encourage his children to do well in school and go to college.\n\n \nPhotos by Melissa Gonzalez, 17, Roosevelt HS \nAna (left) poses with her mother Ana, father Jesus, sister Alejandra and brother Jesus at their home in Los Angeles. \nOne afternoon, as I relaxed on the bench on our front porch, my dad sat next to me. I wanted to ask him about his life in Mexico, but I wasn't sure how to begin the conversation. I mean, here was my dad, enjoying the time remaining before he got a call to pick up his cargo for his job as a truck driver, and I was about to bring back memories from years ago that could be painful. "Tell me about your life in Mexico," I said suddenly. He smiled. After a few moments of silence he began telling me his story.\n\nGrowing up in Puebla, Mexico, my dad had a childhood like any other kid. At dusk all of the children in the neighborhood would play with marbles, hide and seek and trompo, a spinning top with a string attached. He was raised in a small town called Coatzingo, about five hours from

I agree with you.  I see all these people that cry about immigrants taking away jobs, I don't think so! \n\nI don't see anyone on welfare running to take the jobs scrubbing toilets for almost 20 years, something my OWN mother has done!  \n\nI don't see the women who sit on their arses watching daytime TV, and getting their nasty nails done, running to take my mom's job, scrubbing toilets at the local hospital. \n\nWomen who work for these nails salons, they sit in extremely uncomfortable positions, that will give them serious back problems for the rest of their lives.  Who's ready to take those jobs?\n\nThere is so much ignorance, and hypocrisy in America today.  For the person here who answered that if the anthem is going to be sung in Spanish, they'll move, then get your shait and get the funk out!  I've lived here for 18 years, and I'd greatly appreciate hearing it once in Spanish, so I can appreciate the Star spangled banner, much better.  Some words don't make sense to me, but I' willing to learn.

Absolutely not.  However, I am considered an unsympathetic party so maybe I shouldn't have an opinion. To take this question a step further should they be able to really have the opportunity to go to our schools?  Our healthcare?  Our tax payers dollars when they are here illegally?  Not to say I hate them or anything of the sort especially since I am related by marriage to some.  Seriously though since when should my dollars go to them in any form.

We have so many problems with immigration because our system is terrible.  We let anyone in at will, papers or not.  Then we try to deport the people who should be allowed to stay.  Now the government wants to drop the price of immigration.  I'm not against someone trying to make a better life for themself, but shouldn't we be trying to help them in their own countries?  That is, make life better back home.  Where are all the jobs for these people?  Some of them, and this has been documented, end up on our welfare rolls.  So I get to support my family plus someone else's who never worked to build our country.

Thank you. As ridiculuous as that sounds, thank you for taking the time to obey our immigration laws. I agree with you that those that do not follow the laws are crimminals. I do not see you as an uncle tom or back stabber or whatever the others on here have called you. If you and thousands of others have taken the time to follow the correct procedures to obtain citizenship in this country, no matter how hard it was, you deserve to hold your head high. Those that don't, and continue to break our immigration laws should be rounded up and sent back to wherever they came from. I no longer want to support them through my taxes just so they can send the money they make back to their native country.

First of all i want to thank all who did support the march this sat. IT WAS A SUCCESS!\nand for those ignorants who believe that we should just get a job and quit living of your taxes.. ha ha honey please educate yourself!!  Immigrants aren't living off your taxes but rather working hard to earn the exalt life that they deserve.. Im am almost positive that your parents and if not your ancestors were at one point immigrants..So what your going to tell me that they werent living of other peoples taxes ha ha..it is only odvious that you aren't any better than any of the immigrants that live here..And how about you go back to your country..and learn some history while your at it..since this country belongs to what you so call "immigrants" - this land originally belonged to Mexico..and your ancestors migrated here..ha ha so i guess that makes you the immigrant right.. \n..And to the person who wasn't even aware of this March how about leaving LA-LA land and getting in tune with the News.. LIKE I SAID BEFORE EDUCATE YOURSELF..

I agree with you - no illegal immigrant has the "right" to do anything but to be returned to his/her own country. It disgusts me when people compare our ancestors who immigrated here legally with these people who care nothing of our laws, and so have no problem breaking them to enter.  We have immigration policies (they need to be enforced), and people can enter this country through an already established procedure. We should not be made to feel ashamed because we ask others to obey the same laws that every American is asked to obey!

It is a good though, and it could work. But they the (politician) won't go for it. I wish I had the answer for this problem. As for the rest of you, you all should be ashamed of your self, if you think there lives are so good why don't you go take there place. We are all gods children or have you forgot that. They are human beings to. Who do you think will work they fields you or me? I no I am not. I tried once and last 1 hour. It is hard work and they do it for almost nothing just so they can feed there family's. The money they get for it is nothing, but better then what they get in there own country. I don't hear anyone saying any thing about any of the other people who come here to the U.S. It is easy for a lot of you people to say deport them, because you have never gone with out, or gone hungry. You have always been give ever thing. May God forgive you.

That's is why they need to leave, they have no respect for our country, they don't want to assimilate or blend into our society. They should learn English and sing the anthem in English it was not meant to be translated it loses it's meaning. I just heard on the news the Congress just passed a resolution that it will be sung in English only. The Congress found it very insulting.

I'm an immigrant too...they should treat us better. Afterall we help the economy of the United States, and this country is made up of immigrants.

We have gone way too far in helping other people coming in. We offer every kind of help at the expense of the working peoples tax dollars and it just keeps going on and on.  The nation was built on Immigrants who worked hard for what they had, now it's the opposite.
