I have a lot of friends from Pueblo.That doesn't change the fact that they are illegal.Some I taught English to and they taught me Espanol.There are even some that I helped set on the right foot towards citizenship.You know as well as I do that you should have gotton your citizenship by now.Those that I helped are on their way.I'm proud to call them Americans.A friend of mine from Ecuador just recently returned from the Gulf Coast.So it's not only Mexicans that Cross the border.It' not only you that we are trying to curb it's all of South America.Not only do we have an influx from you but from all over the world.Drugs,illegal weapons,female slavery and a host of other cancers that we can't see yet cross with those illegals.We have to secure our borders,all of them.If you are serious seek an Abagado.I think that's how you refer to an Attorney.I have friends from all over the world seeking citizenship the proper way.WHY CAN'T MEXICO AND YOU.GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND I MEAN THAT

in Italy we say "wash the dirty clothes at home", that's to say never speak of family/personal problems in public...\nBut in this case, since America/the US are not behind an iron curtain, You cannot really apply our proverb: with global communications every country is quite visible by anyone else.\nIt is true that Disneyland is in the US, but the US are not Disneyland... \nRant if You've reasons to rant, and approve if You have reasons to.\nSometimes even some "dissonant" opinions may be beneficial to the system, while "yes men" are seldom or rarely anything worth.\nThat's all about "freedom of speech"... something You invented in the US, uh? ;-)

Too True. Why not? the 'West' continue to enjoy the fruits of exploitation whilst turning a blind eye to the exploited. In having it in your face you will at least not claim not to know. Africa frnakly needs to take it's own affairs in hand and kick out the exploiters.

Americans are how we from the United States are formally known throughout the world.  In my travels to England and Germany I always wrote my nationality as "American".  If I had written "United Statesian they would have laughed and asked me to correct it.  When Europeans refer to our country they call it "America".  No other country seems to have a problem with this but Mexico.  The misnomer "United Statesian" comes from the Spanish "estadounidense", an immigration term which replaced "norteamericano" ("North American, another incorrect immigration term for us).  \n\nMany Mexicans argue that Mexico is part of the American continent so they have the right to be called American too.  Well, they´ll run into problems if they travel out of the country if they put "American" as their nationality instead of "Mexican".  If you go to Europe you will never find a French person insisting that you call them "European".\n\nThis "United Statesian" ridiculousness is just a result of Mexico´s purported hatred of us, yet hypocrisy in their strive to be more like us by calling themselves Americans too.

Bcoz the poor pple from USA has a country without a correct name.\non the contrary think about this............United States of America.. \nThat means all the STATES (countries) in all AMERICA. It is a name that at least another 2 countries in AMERICA have.\n1.. United States of Brazil...and are in AMERICA\n2..United States of Mexico...and they are in AMERICA also.\nSo, we can make a concourse, a competition between all the people from the 3 AMERICAS (North, Central, and South) to try to find a more original name to USA.....

Who's to say that all illegal immigrants from South America are unskilled? That's a poor conclusion. Yes - people who are skilled and come to the US legally are better for the system than those who are not. But legally or not, many come to the US to escape prejudice and discrimination in their own countries (which is ironic the come to the States.. but that's for another conversation). So why already greet them with stereotypes? Especially from people who perhaps are trying to leave behind similar issues.

Everyone in the continent of America which includes north, central and south american countries are american. When I lived in Mexico the people always say themselves as being mexican but also american. the oficial name of Mexico is The United Mexican states of America. \n\nLos Estados Unidos Mexicanos de America.

Realistically there is actually much more crime in Europe than the U.S., in the U.K. alone there is one half as many reported crimes as in the U.S., and the U.S. has more than 5 times more people.

Most of those are illegaly in America.. in other words.. they may live here.. but are not americans. \n\nI am mexican american by the way. I say shame on those mexicans who don't support the contry, yet get bent out of shape when we want them out of the contry. \nThey can come back.. but do it legaly.

I think you are the gal having a legal mexican bf... Some of us do not forget the word illegal actually I say it and often and I do not agree on how some actions are being taken to solve this issue ,as well as on the american side as on the Mexican/ sud american side. To secure your borders is ok but the way some americans attack them and refer to them is unacceptable even those patrolling and shooting , or those who throw things to ppl while marching no matter what ppl are free to express themselves specially in USA , am I not right? You can not talk about 3er world mentallity and are just showing a bit of missinformation for you to know Mexico belongs to the 2nd world countries.Unfortunatly most of the ppl who cross are ppl who couldn´t really study much and americans do wrong by stereotyping every person cuz of a small group.Not all the ppl in USA have a first world mentallity I can tell I Live on a first world country. Anyway it is not a matter of pin pointing anyone it is a matter of making ppl understand on both sides that the best is to reach an agreement in which both sides will get benefits.

Both UK and USA are being over run by third world people. Worse they think they are doing us a favor. I still can't figure that stupid statement out yet. \nMost of the ones we get are illegal they are out numbering the legals. We also have towns that are all one race you'd think you just crossed the southern border. We do have great weather but they aren't coming for that its welfare here too.

It rests on "might is right": whoever is holding the most guns, writes the laws.\n\nSo Europeans immigrated into America and took possession of the lands, refused to sign most treaties with Natives and broke the ones they signed, etc.\n\nYet now they want to use the "rule of law" argument, which is mighty hypocritical coming from law breakers themselves.\n\nSo, in the end, the occupation of the American continent rests on "might is right" principles, and at this point the power is shifting from the white majority in the USA to the brown majority in the continent taken as a whole.\n\nExpect a rough ride.

illegal is illegal...no matter how we sugar coat it...it's still illegal.  if we're going to change the terminology "criminal" is appropriate.

I believe the laws which the United States of America upholds on companies within it's territories CANNOT be enforced in other countries...\n\nIt does not matter where the company is from...but where it is located.\n\nHow do so many "American" companies get away with "slave labor" when over-seas?

That is why we have to be very careful about who we put in charge here in the States. people say we should be more open like Europe. Well look at the end results. European crimes are getting worse and worse. But we should be striving to be like them. Whatever is happening in Amsterdam is just wrong and not acceptable. We need to have people fighting for the children. Where are they? Probably too busy having abortions or fighting for the rights of trees.

It is a very touchy subject because yes they shouldn't be allowed to come over and be over here illegally, but at the same time them being illegal doesn't mean that they should be allowed to be taken advantage of and exploited by greedy business owners.  And for the "the U.S. used to be Mexico" argument, that is lame because almost every piece of land was at one time owned by different peoples, we took it just as people have been taking land since the beginning of time.
