They are demanding rights in a country that is not theres. It would be difference if they where legal immigrants. But what rights do illegal aliens have, this is going to be a start of a new racism from all Americans, except from Mexican Americans.

If there are illegals at the rallies they should be arrested. I do not think illegals should have any rights other than humane treatment while they are under arrest.

illegal mexicans are trying to sneak into our country and mooch off the welfare system and get foodstams, not to mention send their dirty children with lice (i gurantee it, EVERY mexican who came to school when i went to school had lice) to our schools, eat our foods, drive cars with no insurance, they want us to speak spicish, and to top it all off, they think they have rights?  they have ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHTS    THEY ARE ILLEGAL ILLEGAL!!!

Being from Texas, I've been aware of this issue for at least a decade. What's amazing to me is how some people can't see the difference between legal and illegal. They keep yapping about how racist it is to want to guard the U.S. border. They're obviously clueless as to what this constant invasion will mean to the future of the U.S. \nBut it has opened my eyes to how much our elected politicians do not want to stop the invasion.

I think it just solidified the antagonism felt on both sides. Personally, I am against illegal immigrants from any country.  The key word is ILLEGAL. By doing what they did, I think they just made legal citizens angrier with them and much less likely to feel any sympathy.  Why do they think they have the right to demand a privilege be given to them that so many others worked so hard to obtain? It lessens the value of what the legal immigrants obtained, and sends the message that we'll just throw our hands up and say, "Oh, okay, if you insist, come on in illegally.  We'll yell a little bit then let you stay."  Can you imagine the flood of illegals we'll get if these people are given amnesty?

Yes i do Don. Why should illegal aliens HAVE more rights than someone who was born and raised here. Yes this may be the land of the free, along with saying what you want, with out being  pentalized. But Americans need to take a stand, and STOP these illegals from coming in and taking over.

Yeah!  Most Americans do tolerate Mexicans.  It's the "illegal" ones we have a problem with.  If you see someone robbing a convenience store, would you call the police?  If you see someone kidnapping a child from a school yard, would you call the police?  So, why then, do millions of Americans stand by everyday and watch "illegal" aliens break the law?  The worst offenders are the people that hire them.  The people that rent houses to them.  And the people that harbor them.  Not only are you not reporting illegal activities, but by aiding and abetting, you are also committing a crime.  What part of the word "illegal" don't you people understand?  Oh, and we're not racists.  We always refer to illegal aliens as "illegal aliens".  Not Mexican, Korean, Guatemalan, etc.  It's the pro-illegals that keep bringing up "Mexicans".  So, who's the racist?

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're exactly right.\n\nLand has been fought over for centuries and the land was divided up before most anyone in the world alive today was born so get over it.  It's not your land.  It's the government's land and God's land b/c everything on Earth belongs to God.\n\nNo one deserves more land.  You're stuck w/ what you got.  Get over it.  The Mexicans don't deserve more land anyway.  They're sending all of their population over to America.  Mexicans fighting immigration laws - America should start a protest - We invade their land for a change - lol\n\nBesides, some of the Mexican tourist destinations are already unsafe like Cancun, Mexico...They are just greedy...\n\nAnother thing...\nPeople say Americans are greedy when we don't give other countries money.  We help out more countries and give the most money to others in the WORLD.  Nobody should say America is greedy b/c we aren't...We earned what we have and that's the end of it.\n\nRich People:\nWhy should rich people have to pay more taxes per dollar than the rest of us.  If they earned what they have, they deserve it...They're living the American Dream...If they inherited their riches, I don't think they deserve it.\n\nThere's some insight for you.

What unity are you guys talking about.  They leave their country because it sucks so bad and then they wave that flag around here trying to push a campaign for ILLEGAL immigrant rights.  If they hated their own country so much that they needed to cross the border then they don't need to wave the Mexican flag when they want American rights.

You don't have ANY rights in my country unless you are a legal immigrant.  If you aren't legal, correct the situation or GET OUT! Quit using up our resources.  We need them to take care of our own people.  We can't take care of the whole blasted world.  If you're here legally, then of course none of this applies to you. And if you're illegal, then you're right---this country wouldn't be the place it is.  It would be much more able to take care of it's own citizens.

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 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.

No, no, and of course not. Illegal aliens are here by choice and they need to fight for their civil rights in their home countries. It also does not make you racist in any way to oppose invasion of your country, no matter what color you are or what color the invaders are.

Calling us racist just because we are against illegal aliens being in our country is completely absurd.  If they don't like us they really should consider going back across the border where they truly belong. Americans shouldn't have to change to make them happy, or feel welcome.  It's not our responsibility.  THEY aren't our responsibility.

It's not about race or ethnicity. Illegal aliens come in all colors. It is not about Mexico or any other specific country. It is about enforcing the immigration laws of the country.

If they are American citizens then they have rights that they can exercise. If they are illegal then they are here at their own risk. And the employers of illegal aliens should be punished. But yes I feel sorry for them too.

it has something to do with the minority thing. if they are illegal they should have no rights. wish they was legal to pay their taxes.
