At least I think they would be better off with a French ran government. I don't think they would be running here for jobs. Plus the french government have alot of intitlements they could live off of.

Some of your states might ask for independance, somewhat like the state of Quebec.

That is a hilarious joke!  They operate like they did 100 years ago. Is that why so many people are trying to migrate to the Land of Opportunity? YES because they have NO WAY OF IMPROVING THEMSELVES where they are now!

ilove the 621 anyway i feel that those that are unemplyed on state aid etc will take any of the jobs if given the opertunity and if the pay was right , we all may not like to do some of the work but we will be willing to work  we rather work than be on state aid having to anser for every penny and all that so i would say there is no job that we would not do .

Neither the French will just end up Poo Pooing the law and as for the Americans  the way things are in this country today ( who cares) (i don't care) ( do you care) There won't be an America in 25 years. Their giving it away .

yes, as well as those we never thought of doing. theyre very inventive. they cant work jobs we do like as they have no credentials/id. all employers are responsible for their output whether production or service. with preasures of being certified & unions & such, they really cant hire immigrants. besides, its easier to hire employees you can talk to.\nimpact. well, they come here to live. all the money they make here is spent here through rent, bills, gas, food...all the things we have to pay for. those who come to prey on the wealth of the states are a drag but we need to be allowed to police ourselves to solve that. the government cant be our mommy & fails miseable every time reguardless of power or money. health care, nearly all are too scared of deportation to go to the hospital which is a 'foreign' idea anyway. shouldnt have socialsism in the 1st place. thats why we left england. as we've seen with katrina, the private sector is more giving than any gov. imagine what we could do without the strain of taxes, which the immigrnts pay into through commerce. they are actually less of a drain on any of our systems by desire to stay under the radar.\nwhat should be done... open the borders, legalize comin to america. seems a contradiction in terms to close america. what kind of decent person should deny any other their ameriCAN dream? the borders are there to keep out other governments, not other people.\ni grew up all over los angeles. moved away at 13 & have lived all over the country.ended up in texas at 16 & have lived here for most of the last 20 years. also, im cherokee, blackfoot & hopie. so, who has birth rights around here? it burns deep when i see & hear all the hate based on ownership of this country which...used to be mexico.  remember the song 'this land is our land'?

I live in the US & I was unaware until recently that it was illegal to fire someone in France...unless theres "just cause". What is just cause anyway?! It's no wonder France is such an unproductive nation. Between their socialist government & huge vacation time & inability to fire the incompetant, it's a wonder anything gets done at all. \n\nSo to answer your questions:\n1. I think new jobs will be created because an employer will be able to take a risk on hiring a young person instead of adopting them for life.\n2. I think the only youth who should be distessed are the ones who dont work hard & well enough to keep their jobs.\n3. I think to have restrictive firing laws is unfair to the French in an increasingly global economy.\n4. I dont know enough about French society or politics to venture a guess on this one. It's my feeling that some people just like to protest anything.

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.

Send em back home! If they want to be here so badly, they'll do it legally. And besides, we'd be better off without them. We have US citizens with no jobs, that are willing to clean, disinfect, and deliver. But yet, immigrants get the job because they work for less. Americans need to quit being cheap, and think about helping out their country by hiring our own people.

I agree.  I can understand the desperation of their situation, but if they want to be here, they have a responsibility to follow our laws, just as Americans who go to Mexico have a responsibility to follow their laws.  Personally, I think part of the problem is NAFTA; it has caused unemployment in all three countries involved, especially Mexico.  A bad decision on the part of the government has helped to put them in this situation.  But if they want better lives, how good can those lives be if the "goodness" was achieved through dishonesty and deception?  It's still not right for them to break our laws because they would be sending us back to the U.S. if we broke one of theirs.  That's what makes sense to me.

I do not agree with this guy^^^^^yeah they might have been doing all these great things but you have to remember that in those times, mostly all women stayed home and took care of their children while their husbands went to work. Nowadays most women work all day...because a lot of them choose to..to have more money...so if all these women start working the income goes up in a home...the prices for living go up and it's a never ending circle......most of them have NO time to come home, being tired, and clean houses which is usually populated with 2 or more children. So they go and hire a nanny.....and not one who will charge a lot....one who will charge them a lesser amount because they don't want to empty their pockets.......IT's all about being selfish and you know that. Why do companies hire employees who will work for a lower wage?....cause the more money you got the more you want to have and keep....and a lot of these companies have people who invest their money on them and an investor wants results, profits,.....and if the person who is in charge of running the company is not giving them the results that they want.....well they have a great chance of loosing their job to someone who is competent and can give them the output and results the investors want. Don't start blaming all the mexicans for america's problems, as far as I know, mexicans aren't the only people immigrating to america so stop saying it's thier fault. All this blame should be put on the US GOVERNMENT, and you know why! They are aware and have been aware for the past 40 years that there is a shi* load of immigrants coming in through the southern, northern borders....coming in through our ports, and even people who come here as tourists with a passport that never go back.....and they didn't and still haven't done anaything about it...so if you say that americans are so great because they have done so many things for this economy...well where were they when they elected the president and their senators? Because it's the american people who chose them...not us....(the immigrants).....so for this guy up here if you want to blame the immigrants I say do some research before you start typing away....the only ones responsible for this are the Greedy Coroporations/companies/investors and the GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!!

bien sur que tous ca n'est que de l'économie. Le foot represnete un pays, mais surtout un  formidable business. il suffit d'analyser les derneire coupe du monde. En 1998, léquipe de france devait gagner  pour rentabliser. la france aurai du etre eliminer en quart de final. Le bresil en final na pas jouer et ronaldo soit disant malade.. en 2002 en coree et japon, pays organisateur pareil il faut que les coreen passe les premiers tours .. pour arrivé en demi final .. bien sur la cest different ils pouvaientp as les laisser en final  personne aurai cru ..\ntout est truquer ( comme la star ac ou la nouvelle star.) tout ceci est du marketing. les vrais chevres dans lhitoires sont ceux qui ne voit rien...

Ludicrous idea.  Next thing you know these politicians will label these folks as "livelihood-terrorists".  What harm exactly are these immigrants causing?  If anything, they're keeping the economy rolling right along.

The Mexican Government can very well afford to take care of all of its own people. Their oil industry is the second richest in the world next to Saudi Arabia. The Mexican government is exploiting its own people making things hard for them to survive at home and then encouraging them to migrate in droves to the United States. Their agenda is two fold. One is that they want to take back California and Texas and they are using their citizens to come here in such numbers that we cannot keep up with it. They are also organizing the illegals here to protest that we have a problem with their illegality (Mexico would never put up with us doing that to them) and with the financial burden they are imposing on American tax payers. The second agenda of the Mexican government in pushing out their citizens into the United States is that the illegals send back over a billion dollars a year to Mexico and that BOOSTS their economy BIG TIME. (It HURTS our economy BIG TIME). Too many people here have been fooled  into thinking that the poor Mexicans have no alturnative but to come here or starve. NOT TRUE!!!  Vincente Fox is a snake in the grass. He is greedy and uses his citizens to take us over and get richer and we don't even know it.  And we, as compassionate a country as we are, we still should not be used like we are bythe Mexican government.

Hey, it may be a good thing if there is another country out there that would support us once the USA is a third world nation due to the massive amount of people allowed or not allowed to migrate. After all we've supported everyone else for a very long time while our own citizens suffer from hunger and neglect so I suppose turn around would be fair. I'd like to sit on my a_s and have the 'good' working people of some far off land give me shelter, food and free medical care.

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.

If they got a job, they would have to pay taxes and would lose their welfare checks.  They would be forced to contribute to the society that owes them something for being 'less fortunate'.
