Actually ALL US Citizens have the right to protest.  All people that are here with VISA's can be deported for protesting based on thier VISA's agreement. (They are here to work)\nIllegal Aliens are not suppose to be here, so therefore do not have any rights.  We have given them some rights and some benifits, but all of that should stop because we are rewarding illegal behavior.

This is the country of free speech. I feel sorry for the people who are trying to escape to a better place but they\nneed to do it legally. The people who are pro-illegals\nalready have it good. They live here. I say if they want to\nsupport illegals then they should whip out their wallets and let the\ngood times roll.

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?

Yes, I love it!  I look on the internet news daily for more stories like the one about the mayor of Hazelton, PA, or Sheriff Joe in Arizona, or big unexpected roundups of illegals in different cities.  It does my heart proud to see the citizens of the USA standing up against this injustice that the government has allowed to occur and get out of hand - illegal immigration.  I believe the power of the American citizens is now snowballing against illegal immigration and whether the Federal Government wants to or not, they are going to have to listen to the people whom they work for, and act accordingly.  The days of the freebies and handouts for illegal immigrants are quickly coming to an end and the smart ones will start planning their own voluntary self-deportations now, rather than wait until they are found and shipped out, possibly leaving family members behind in the USA.  Better they start planning and get themselves organized for an orderly return to their home countries before they get caught by immigration officials or the police or their landlord or their employer.  This way, if they have lived cleanly in the USA so far, without committing further offences since they first illegally came over the border, they have a hope of returning legally one day, if they go home now and apply to immigrate to the USA through the proper procedures.  WAKE UP ILLEGALS!  Do yourselves and your families a favour and return yourselves in an orderly fashion now, while you still can.  Otherwise, don't cry and whine when you get caught and shipped out on a moment's notice, when you aren't ready.  The jig is up!  Amnesty is NOT coming!!  Wake up and smell the coffee!

This is the way I view things.  I wasn't around when they made the laws therefore I don't think it's fair that I have to abide by the ones I don't agree with.  If I feel like a law needs to be changed or if I want to make something made legal that isn't then I will try for it.  I will fight and get petitions and go to meetings for my cause.  However, if I still don't get my way I'll do what I want. I will continue to do illegal acts or whatever the circumstance may be.  I would never put anyone in harm's way but if I feel there is a stupid law I shouldn't have to abide by then I don't.  I may have to suffer the consequences but I will fight for my beliefs.

To the US Officials and the Media:\n\nIf you think that with only about a 1 million Illegals and it's supports marched down the streets and you're giving in already, well take note.  The American Citizens will do all they can to stop you.  Even if it means voting you out of office (we got the power and money to support the US, not the illegals).  Think twice before you do anything.\n\nbtw, \n\nIf you're against illegal immigration, please click on the link below. United we stand, together we'll defeat and deport the illegals!!\n\nhttp://www.illegalimmigrantprotest.com

I was also thinking about this today and I understand why our government is seeking to fix this problem.  What I don't understand is why they think they have a right to be here when they're here illegally.  It is sad because they are trying to improve their lives and their family's life but there is a legal way to go about it and if you're wrong, you're wrong and shouldn't be upset when the government is trying to take care of it.  \n\nIt might seem harsh especially because I have plenty of friends who are immigrants and 1 who was even illegal for a period of time.  But its not fair to those of us who live here and pay taxes, and its also not fair to those immigrants who waited and came here legally.

You hit the nail on the head. It is amazing, however, to still see some of the imbeciles on here not being able to tell the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL!\n\nAnyway, the illegals come here knowing full well that what they're doing is wrong, but they pretend that they're not breaking the law. When we complain, they call us "racist" because we want them to follow the law, just like we're required to do. So if we don't look out for their interests, we're bad... but who's looking out for us? Ever heard an illegal complain because they're affecting our quality of life? Yet, we're supposed to feel bad on their behalf?

You are right that PR is part of the USA and I for one think it is time that you be considered a state! And no you are not the same as the illegals. They just want to find anyone they can to side with them. I don't think that they realize that by doing what they have, with the protests and all, that they have alienated those who would have supported them. \n\nPoint being is this,I can't go to any other country and protest or take an active part in voting or politics or even ask for assistants living because I am not a citizen of that country. So why should the illegals here be different. \n\nI am sorry you have had to deal with this personally. It is not right and I am saying so. You are an American and as such should be treated like it.

I agree.  There hasn't been any protests that I've been able to get to so far, but there needs to be some protests all across the country.\n\nAll of these pro-illegal immigrants should be forced to compensate all of these innocent people who have had their identities and social security numbers stolen by these illegals who invade this country not caring if they hurt Americans or not. And compensate them times ten the financial losses for all of the time and hardship they've had to suffer for these lowlifes.

Agree with Terry, we need to make a statement.  The people who protested against the immigration laws, some were illegal foreigners, some were legal and some were US Citizens. The political parties making the decisions on this are adding up the votes! I don't think we can kick out all working illegal immigrates, it could hurt America and it is really not human.  We can close the borders though and we can make the ones here pay for the process to make them legal and also we can make them pay taxes as we do. If they choose to send what they make back to Mexico or wherever their home country is, they have that right. Many people seem to be so one sided. Have you stopped to think what tax benefits the US would gain by taxing ten million plus immigrates that are currently not paying taxes?

I agree. If you want to come into the US you do it legally and you have to obay our laws. OOPs you already broke one. You came here illegally. Laws are for a reason. If everyone got way with breaking laws the US would be like the Country you are trying to flee.

They come here, illegally, then it is very easy for them to just break law after law. They will do what ever they can to stay here. They justify this by saying that living here is their human right, or that our laws are out dated, even calling our laws silly, and well its just a very small laws. They try to sell themselves as, just poor wanting a better life. Oh yes they do get a few to feel sorry for them, but we must never stop telling Washington, that we want our immigration laws enforced, we want those that hire them fined, we want anyone renting to illegal immigrants fined, and we want all those in this country illegally deported. If not we will find someone in Nov. of 2008 who will do the job.

How can illegals in another country call for a protest and walk out. Illegal to me means against the Law. what gives them the cheek to call a walk out. i suppose if they let them have a rally/protest why cant the Government of your country not just round them up and send them back to where ever they have come from. After all they are illegal they should not be there in the first place. \nmy opinion only.

I have lived exactly what you are describing.  I began 'preaching' about this problem about 15 years ago and no one would listen. I then lived in California and worked for Social Services. You can just imagine what I experienced there.  I have since moved back to my home midwestern state and now I see it moving in here as well.  It is an invasion that people and legislators have ignored and avoided doing anything about for far too long and now we are faced with a crisis.  Do I think that amnesty will have them respecting our laws?  OF COURSE NOT!  They came here illegally. That, in itself, makes them lawbreakers, if not criminals..  none of whom respect anything or anybody.
