People from all nationalities will participate in the marches tomorrow. Pastors, Lawyers, Doctors,sheiks, taxi drivers, factory workers, fruit pickers, immigration advocates,... just to name a few, will participate in the marches. Majority of the marchers are gonna be legal immigrants who have been through the system, some American citizens. I think majority of illegal immigrants might stay home just to stay out of trouble. One thing most people don't realize is that these people are not criminals. They just want a part of the American dream. I bet there are some of them who even want to join the military to fight for the US. Majority of immigrant haters have no idea of what's outside of the United States. When one travels to a different country, one bacomes like a fish out of water. Having immigration issues makes it even worse. You become more like your own prisoner. Home sweet home; there is no place like home. The point I'm trying to make is that America is greatest nation in the world and these people want to be part of it. They risk their lives, leave everything behind just to be part of this great nation. You'll be surprised that some of the illegal immigrants were lawyers, judges, teachers, nurses,doctors,engineers, and so on and so forth; they leave it all behind to adopt this great nation as their home. Not all immigrants are unskilled like people thought. I'm not talking about just Mexicans. I'm talking about immigrants in general.

people who are born in a specific country are citizens of that country because of a birthright..who cares if they are from parents of illegal immigrants.....the only reason these people are illegal immigrants is because of the stupidity of Customs & Immigration in the US....think back to how our countries were formed....from the dregs of society being banished to other lands...THAT is our first history....so be careful who you tarnish...he/she just might be a distant relative

why would they do that,if you can just imagine for one moment>your people too were illegal immigrants,what if we had maned all of the borders to this country,you would not be sitting in that chair where you are now but,someplace Else and we would be asking ourselves these questions about you.

Because people is too freaking stupid to see pass their noses. Our nation was established by IMMIGRANTS! Jez!? Give me a break! I have friends who are immigrant workers and let me tell you been an immigrant is not easy at all, yes they do pay taxes, yes they do work their butts off doing what "little white boys" doesn't like to do! Immigrants are the reason why the US is the way it is, if it wasn't for them the US economy would drop inmensenly! I wish that all the immigrants did went back to their home countries...and I want to see the US survive! As soon as ALL the immigrants are gone the US is going to go downhill. Because the US depends of those immigrants as much as the immigrants depend of the US. It's a vicious cycle and you know what people....It's giving us the way of living that we have!

Why Oh Why! do so many people come up with these asinine, inane, and totally ludicrous scenarios to justify illegal immigration. You are making a comparison where there is absolutely no correlation between the two situations. Remember it is ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION that this country has a problem with.

Each and everyone of us is here because our ancestors were looking for a better life. But what people don't remember is that there has always been a limit as to how many immigrants are allowed in. Remember Stanton Island and what people went through to get here, some were even turned away.So it isn't that immigration is bad or coming to America for a better life is bad, but sneaking over the border is what is bad. I am an ex-Maytag worker, the factory moved to Mexico. America is always trying to fight for the underdog and all the while we are becoming the underdog and then who will fight for us. Our jobs are going to Mexico and Mexicans are still coming and taking more jobs. I would like to know whos Idea it was to say that they are taking jobs away that people don't want, because I wanted my job.

I think you are a very compassionate person. A lot of people are against illegal immigration simply because it is "illegal." However, in reality they go on with their lives each day with little or no problems coming from illegal immigration. I know several immigrants (legal and not) and all are very hard workers and really nice people. I understand that not all of them are this way, but I've had nothing but nice things to say about them from my own personal experience.\n\nI do agree that we need to get a handle on illegal immigration, but we shouldn't be hateful towards those who are coming here illegally. They don't come here thinking "Oh, I want to be illegal, I want to hurt Americans and their economy." They come here to make better lives for themselves. Everyone wants to know why they can't just come here legally. Not only is it not as easy as everyone thinks to come here legally (you know this from experience), when you're completely poverty stricken and your children and family are starving, I doubt you're really going to be willing to take the necessary steps to coming legally. A lot of time they're in very desperate situations.

Why do you have to make your question about an illegal immigrant, if you say you love immigrants. Why can't you just make your issue on the mere fact that this person is harassing you? Take action on that matter with the proper authorities. I was surfing the web for answers and came across all of the ridiculous questions people were asking about illegal immigrants and I felt I had to respond. I thought America was the great melting pot. It was made by people from different countries. Yes some will say they weren't illegal. No one was considered illegal back then. People could come and go into places as they chose. Why can't others do that today. I know there are a lot of issues with terrorists but they seem to be from a certain country. We still need to watch each person carefully just as we need to watch all of our own citizens who murder, rape and abuse us. The Mexican immigrants trying to come into the U.S. are only trying to make money for their families in Mexico, to send back to them. The country is very poor. Why do we as Americans get to go to Mexico and live there when we retire? I have researched Mexico and seen that many elderly people go to Mexico to retire. They have made large retirement villages there. They live rich lifestyles because it is cheap to live with such things as paying $15.00 a week for a maid. Can you believe that? Why do we get to go there and they can't come and live here? We as Americans get to travel many places to visit but we see nothing wrong with that, we're Americans. Why do Americans think they are above the rest? I don't know! Look at all of the movie stars like, George Clooney, who has a house in Paris, or wherever it is, then there's, Angelina Jolie, with her many houses in different countries. All of the stars do that, just like a lot of other non-famous people do. I was reading another question about the child support that was closed. I know someone who is an illegal immigrant from Mexico and the American girl is in the process of getting child support from him. I also know that all of the illegal immigrants who work here in the U.S. get paychecks and each of those paychecks has money taken from it for taxes of sorts, just like ours. This has happened for many years. Where does all of this money go since they are illegal, to the government and to the American people who are receiving retirement checks monthly. The illegals will never use that money because they will not retire from here when they get old. America is using the illegals just as they are using us for help. Why can't we go as we please as long as we abide by the laws of each place. If we don't abide just use the jails; like we use for all of the other millions of American inmates. \nWhat is the wrong in them being here? Only that people here are still prejudice and will always be; even the people who go to church, pretending they are so good. God didn't make us all so we could hate each other. We are all the same just spread throughout the world. Sure we are all shades of different colors, we have to be. Each part of the world has different climates and our skin has to protect us from it. People with very pale skin couldn't live as all of the village people in Africa do without being burnt daily. The skin tone protects each person from the climate of each region. Americans were just lucky enough to live in a climate that has both cold and hot seasons that don't effect our skin as much.\n\nSorry I used your question as a venting tool.

America has many more than "2 kinds" of people, as do the UK and most countries of the world.  The concept of the "melting pot" of society has been going on for many, many years and the influx of immigrants to all countries has increased as time has gone by and technology has increased.  For some people, it has been the prospect of freedoms not found in their own countries that has lured them to new shores, for others, just a sense of adventure.  But the histories of all countries are rich with the stories of their immigrants.  Pick one and start reading about it!

If I'm not white, they hate me. If I'm from another country they hate me. They don't seem to realize they were immigrants also.

Pancha, you see, people like Hellow Hellow (Stupid name i may add), are afraid of immigrant workers because they are insecure about their own being, the bill that you where referring (Which these stupid hell ow hellow fellow run to the google and research in two minutes) was a Smokescreen to put to rest in a nice way the fact that America Depends on those workers in order to survive, and not offending the insecure population. The will continue to happen because these nation was founded on that principal. Immigrants have created this nation and continue to preserve, whether this idiot HellowHellow wants it or not.

It occurs to me that there are DAMN few people in America that are not decended from immigrants. If we had a bunch of illegal white people living and working in the USA, no one would be upset about it.
