i just think bush is doing the wrong thing about immigration. if you dont belong and you decideed to take the illegal path and use other peoples ss# so that you can stay then get the hell out !  stay in your country and try to make it better there . we fought hard to make the usa what it is today. dont think you can come in after the fact, be lazy and live off of us.. fight for your rights and what you deserve in your own country !

Bush hasn't done anything right.\n\nIf a person has not gone through the process under U.S. law to become a citizen of this country, then the person should have NO RIGHTS PERIOD.

illegal immigration is turning this country into something other than a 'melting pot'...with soo many new (illegal) immigrants, that are prob. going to get amnesty, the u.s. will have no choice but to limit the amount of immigrants comming from other countries around the world, to keep the u.s. from becomming over populated.. our immigration system is being overwhelmed by a single region, and i'm afraid other's in the world will see it as unfair...i will agree with them. (many people around the world have to wait years, and even decades for the immigration lottery to pick them, on top of paying all the legal fees, and seeing others break the law and get away with it is depressing)

Wow, you people amaze me on here. I don't mean just one person in particular I mean everyone! Before you begin to pick sides, please understand the other side of the argument. I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but there are some things people just need to realize man. First off, illegal aliens, yes they should be sent back because they are illegal. But people though, if their country is so much better off with our "outsourcing economy" why is it they still want to come into our country? Another thing is because they are doing the jobs that are paying low wages and yea, they are doing it illegally; but let me ask you something, what about all the americans who are here working as drug dealers, bank robbers, and criminals trying to get their money? Aren't they as illegal as the illegal aliens trying to make a living? Oh an please don't get on me with that immigrations get more welfare: to be honest with you the "caucasian populations" get more welfare and is more dependent on the state. So therefore I've contradicted myself in both ways, which explains what I'm trying to say please think before you judge, and learn before you speak. That's all....... thank you..

I am not defending Bush in any way because I hate him more than anyone I promise.  But basically they want to get rid of illegal immigrants and I completely agree with that.  But Im sure it was not said in that context or there would be a revolution right now.

You know it's quite interesting that the issue of immigration has gotten the American people all fired up like it's life or death for them, whereas when their own loved ones are sent to a war over questionable arguments, their voice is hardly heard. Yes it's wrong for people to come here illegally, and if they're here for drugs or whatever, then they should be punished. But for us to force out families that have been here for many years and are just trying to live a better life than the one they had is not just unreasonable, but inhumane. It's our duty to control our borders and prevent them from coming; those already here who can prove their worth to our country shouldn't suffer because we failed our own people during the past 20 years. Use your minds and stop spewing hate.

Just to let you know there's not only one but many who share your views. The problem is, the Representatives you voted for doesn't care at all or else, they'll not even consider giving those illegals their rights to live here! Try to contact the government representative and tell them how you feel or else, they might be thinking we don't care at all as to what happening now and even our future!

You have made a point, although in a very insulting way.\n\nDifferent people are mad for different reasons:  \nI, personaly, am not scared of the hard working illegal who sneaks across the border.  It's the drug dealers, criminals, etc, that slip in along with you.  We need to seal the border & reform immigration law so we can let the good, hard-working people in, & keep the scum out. (we have enough scum of our own - we don't need more)\nI am also concerned with those who don't learn Engish.  I think everyone should learn a second language, but that includes immigrants (illegal or otherwise).  Learn English!\n\nBut there are people who feel threatened by people who actually have a healthy work ethic as well as those who just don't want any more "beaners" in America.  Please don't lump me with either of those groups.\n\nOne illegal alien in particular was a salvation for my boyfriend's family. His mother had a stroke & needed full-time live in care. The only Americans he could afford would quite after one week, sometimes just leaving without telling anyone leaving his mother alone for hours.  She could have had an episode & died!  One lady actually stole all the jewelry, including her wedding ring, before leaving.\nIn desparation, he finally found someone who had a cousin here illegally who was willing to do the job.  She became part of the family.  After 10 years of excellent care, his mother died.  That was 2 years ago, & we still consider her family.  She usually spends Christmas with us.

your facts are not correct.  first bush wanted a guest worker program prio to 9/11, his reasoning was workers are paying taxes and bieng miss treated, rejiestered workers can exist above ground.  the fence thing, is not something bush advocated until it came out of congress in both the senate and house verisons, thus it looks like he has to accept it--do you understand how laws get created in the US?  Hitler and the wall, funny. again you got your facts wrong, hitler wanted the jews, gay, and un pure out of his country he deported them.

Bush doesn't send those illegals to Iraq because it isn't necessary.  Bush should send them all back to where they belong.  They are selfish criminals.  They don't belong here in the first place.

I think that it's wrong because they entered our country illegally and they are using our tax dollars to fund their health care and various other charities. They enter our country illegally which is a crime and then they expect Americans to open our arms and welcome them. I have heard that this movement is similar to the ones that they had in the 1960's, wrong! In the 1960's the Black AMERICANS were protesting for equal rights that they deserved. The black AMERICANS were being discriminated against in their own country--they were born here and they deserved to be treated as fairly as any other AMERICAN. I am not a predijiuce person, I believe that everyone who wants to APPLY to become an American citizen has that right, however, I do not believe that it is fair to the people who are applying and waiting patiently to come to this great country of ours to see that all they have to do is enter illegally and they are home free. We are very blessed to be natural born citizens and while we do have our problems it is still the best country in the world! Could you imagine if this protesting of illegals was occuring in other countries, it would not happen because it would not be tolerated and the people involved would be severly punished. And as for the people who are sponsoring these protest--have they lost their minds!! AGAIN, these people entered our country ILLEGALY, I just don't get it, and for the people sponsoring these protests they are self proclaiming themselves as being like Dr. Martin Luther King. What a joke! What frightens me is that just by sheer numbers they might actually make it happen. This government needs to wake up and do something about this prevelant problem before it gets out of hand and our borders will be nothing but 'free for alls'. As for the saying that this country was born on the backs of immigrants, I agree, however, you need to come here LEGALLY as many millions in the past has done.

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!!

ricardocobar, I think this issue is really being muddy up by both the media and the protest groups. By what you have stated you came to this country and began obtaining legal status for immigration. This Issue is not about you, and I wish the media would stop grouping together immigrants with people that come to this country and don't do it in any legal fashion. \nYes I feel that some of the immigration rules make it easier to make people chose to come here Illegally.

I am agreeing with you totally. Our borders need to be secured and we should make it where many can be legal citizens faster but not amnesty. amnesty is just going to get more illegals into this country. We have over 500,000 coming into the US a year now illegal from Mexico, if this fu*king president has his way and grants amnesty to these people instead of stopping the flow it is going to increase because they will see that this president doesn't give a fu*k about the American people. With amnesty we will have over a million illegal flooding this country....

Be careful friend. Talk like that in here can get you called a racist. Illegal immigration has ruined the town I've lived in most of my life. We can't even take care of our own in this country, but we are supposed to give everything we have to the illegals? We have no health care for so many here, too many are homeless and/or unemployed. All I can really say is would you feed your last bit of food to a stranger and let your kids go hungry?

immigration is not the problem. illegal ones need to go any stay the hell out! i damn straight dont want any more illegals here and im sick and tired of there shit. i say get the fuck out and stay the fuck out until u get that right to be here. ALL FOR ALL ILLEGALS TO GO! we have are own americans that cant put food on the table for there kids, that work in all types of weather, we do dishes, clean bathrooms, pick fruit. i clean for a living! im even a american. i have worked many differet types of jobs. and ppl want to say i dont want my kids to have to wash dishes clean and this and that. well guys what while ur in high school ur not going to get this wonderful office job and this and that. u work in retail stores and etc. kids will work any where if theres money! and it doesnt matter to them what it is. i myself dont want my kids to be lazy. a job is a job and it doesnt matter to me what it is. it pays my bills, puts clothes on my kids back and a roof over my kids head. as a parent which there is alot americans that do this. they dont like it but the do it. so when my kids are old enough to work they will do those types of jobs.

NO it is not fair, I am think all anyone who obtains a fake SS# and ID is breaking the law (legal or not). I think it is fine for immigrants to apply for citizenship but they should do it right and it should be hard. just because they have been here for 5 or 10 or even 20 years (illegally) I don't care...no one should be treated special....if you give one dog a bone they will all want one. I am so sick and tired of this immigration crap. I am totally against it, I think they should just deport them all and let them come here legally and have clean record and speak English..\n\nmight I add for the people who think I am racist, I am not. My husband is from Mexico and he is not legal, and I am still not going for this, and he thinks since he does not have his papers I should support him .... NO WAY !!! I married him 5 years ago and we have a 8 year old daughter and he does speak perfect English, but he should still have to get his citizenship the right way.\n\nohh sorry forgot...BUSH IS A IDIOT\n\nok I take that back....I kinda agree with guy below\n\nif there is a immigrant that has a clean record and did not obtain a SS# and just worked for cash, and has been not causing any problems, then yes help him out.\n\nbut what really upsets me is these immigrants that obtain the fake SS# and ID and get credit cards and buy houses, do they understand this was all illegal...that is not acceptable to me and should not to anyone else either....
