Sure people in the government are complaining about the Hispanics but let me see any one of them work for pennys on the dollar just to house all of your friends and family.

That subject i couldn't fit all my thoughts in this text block.... But in terms of them coming over it's fine .... as long as they serve a role in our society and abide by the rules st by congress. look at the movie day after tomorrow for instance. what do you think would really happen if that were to take place? The last this is, i can deal with immigration, hell this is a country built of immigration, everyone here is from another country at some point in their gene pool, but if you are going to come across, at least do it legally.\n\nOK... the guy who's 2 below me... wow your immature i wont even begin to argue with you except these 2 things\n\n1. "THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON LEGAL IMMIGRATION, NOT LEGAL IMMIGRATION". what does that mean exactly?\n\n2. you obviously didn't read what i said whatsoever, if you did you would see that i don't condone illegal immigration you moron, i said and still say that if it's done in a LEGAL way that its OK.... i bet you had a few damn forefathers alot smarter than you who came through Ellis island. You know the next time you want to run your mouth at least take the time to read what people say and respond in a non-offensive way... you might get better responses.

WHAT DON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE THESE PEOPLE ARE BREAKING THE LAW.  When millions of Europeans came over the United States (ellis island ring a bell?), they went through the system.  They applied, they worked, they waited.  The first thing they DIDN'T do when they got to this country was break a law!\n\nThere is a right way to do things, and obviously these people have not done that.  Yes, these people have families, but it OUTRAGES me that they work here and send their hard earned money back to their families in other countries, instead of putting the money back into this country, our society that they "so desperately want to me a part of."  Because all the while that they're working here MY TAX MONEY is supporting their medical bills, school systems, and prison system when they get in trouble.  I am TIRED of paying out the *** so someone can live the American dream. WHEN DO I GET TO LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM?  When is my country going to stand up for me, an american citizen instead of giving a rip about the other countries in the world.  \n\nOur government is laying their weight upon the middle class citizens, burdening tax systems, handing out kick backs.  Did you know that 3 days of fighting in Iraq costs the American people more money than an entire years allocation of AIDS research, alternative energy programs, low income legal aid, and Headstart combined.  And now, they are more concerned about the feelings of illegals, non-citizens, who need to support their families in poorer counties.  This is not about race!!  They need to be concerned about our families, here, now, job-less, struggling to fill up the gas tank, struggling to keep food on the table.  It's not people in the ghetto or on the streets.  It's people in the suburbs too.  I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.  Please wave your flags in another country.\n\nI agree whole-heartedly with your comments.

Where I live, there is a HUGE Hispanic population.  All, if not 99% of the illegals here DO pay income taxes.  Most of them work under false SS#'s.  So...they DO pay in but cannot collect income tax refunds.  If people in America would educate themselves I wonder if anyone would be complaining.  In my personal experience the only people I have known of in my life that have worked under-the-table have been White and it was t either avoid income tax or to screw unemployment.  This immigration debate is fueled by ignorance.  The focus is on "those Mexicans" instead of on improving the LEGAL immigration process.  This isn't 70 years ago when my Grandparents got off their boat from Portugal, waited in line, told someone their name and YAY! We're Legal!!

The thing is that the employers actually seek them out and encourage them to come here and now to stab them in the back is just messed up. They are doing jobs that no one wants. People keep saying that the unemployed in America will step up and take these jobs that is bullshit the unemployed make more money off welfare and than the immigrant workers make. Also the same jobs are available to them they just aren't going for them.  There are never enough janitors I work in a hospital and getting janitors there is hard it takes forever to fill the spot even though it pays more than $15 an hour and offers full medical and vision and life insurance...yet those Americans that lost their jobs to the immigrants aren't taking that job so what the hell? Let them stay, people are just saying they are taking their jobs to make excuses.

They just approved the bill. Have these people get their working permits and pay their taxes. This way they contribute to the government. Both the workers and the government win. Everything legal, people safe, insurance companies getting richer, and maybe everybody stop bitching around and be content.

Very simple, I fired 6 employees who took off to boycott, they were not "illegal" but they were hispanic and in favor of breaking the law. Maybe the Government wont do anything, But each business owner sure can. I already replaced the hispanics who went to boycott with Americans who were interested in working, took abt 30 minutes. I wonder how they will feel tomorrow morning when they find they have no job here.

The only people that benefit are the companies that pay low wages,but the real harm is to the unskilled workers in our country,because they will never be able to get a descent wage to live,so some US citizens that are hurt by the low wages that illegal workers cause have to have a second job to make ends meet,also taxpayers are now footing the bills that children of illegal immigrants are piling up in welfare,schooling,healthcare and also statistics have found that children of illegal immigrants are 19 times more likely to join street gangs than children of US citizens.As for the comment of the prior person that it's racist to only name the mexicans,the reason only mexicans are in the news is that illegal immigrants from mexico have been parading with the mexican flag and  are claiming they will take the southern states and eventually become a part of mexico

You are a freaking basket case, Lady!!\nIllegals first off are ILLEGAL\n-pay taxes using stolen ID cards, or don't pay at all, earning wages in CASH\n-buy with cash, paying ONLY sales tax. oh,woo\n-spend money they saved by getting food stamps\n-too bad they can't use those so-called good work skills to clean up their own country\n-volunteer in all Hispanic communities, bad mouthing AMERICANS, vomiting out your LaRaza propaganda\n-they(you) speak the language of your latino country, not the National Language of the USA!!

Sounds good. Take names and empty their pockets and bank accounts to help pay for the deportation expenses.

obeirn1:  Fianlly someone with a brain on here.  I agree with you 100%.  Here is the trouble with this immigration debate, to much prejudices, and racisits trying to run the country.  Also some of these "haters" as I have so affectionatly called them, tend to go with what the neighbor says without investingating things themselves.  Like most things, when people jump to conclusions, this whole thing will turn out to blow up in the "haters" face.  People dont realize that it is not just "Mexicans" here illegally, and if you look at the problem more, you will se that it is actually our own Governement (INS policies) that prohibit the majority of these hispanics from gaining papers.  Look at it from their side, if your kids were starving would you not do what you had to do to feed them?  Now if you cant afford food, how on earth are you to afford thousands of dollars for papers, when the wages in countries like Mexico are 5 bucks a week....people just think they know all when they refuse to see the tarnish on the coin.  ~~To answer the question, I am ashamed that as a whole, americans think they are somehow better than the rest of the world!~~

WE JUST NEED TO CUT OUT ALL GOVERNMENT FUNDED PROGRAMS, AND MAKE PEOPLE START WORKING FOR THEIR MONEY, INSURANCE, AND FOOD.  I HAVE TO WORK EVERYDAY, MY PARENTS STILL DO, MY GRANDPARENTS DID.  WE ARE AVERAGE MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY AND I THINK ITS UNFAIR THAT WE HAVE HAD TO WORK HARD OUR ENTIRE LIVES AND HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING FOR FREE. WHERE AS MEXICANS AND ANYONE ELSE ON WELFARE, MEDICAID, FOOD STAMPS, WIC ETC. DO NOTHING!!!  CUT IT ALL OUT EXCEPT GIVE IT TO THE ELDERLY AND HANDICAPPED AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.  PEOPLE ARE TOO DAMN LAZY NOW A DAYS, IF YOU CAN GET SOMETHING FOR FREE WOULD YOU WORK??

i think it's pritty stupid.  i know i lived in Texas & there were tons of mexicans that came over from Mexico.  For the most part, they were all pritty good people.  Working 2 to 3 jobs tryin to support their families back home.  I know they take alll the money, no taxes & what not, but still .. it's not as bad as idiot Bush makes it out to be.  I say spend money on other things, not a frickin wall.

I do not agree with this guy^^^^^yeah they might have been doing all these great things but you have to remember that in those times, mostly all women stayed home and took care of their children while their husbands went to work. Nowadays most women work all day...because a lot of them choose to..to have more money...so if all these women start working the income goes up in a home...the prices for living go up and it's a never ending circle......most of them have NO time to come home, being tired, and clean houses which is usually populated with 2 or more children. So they go and hire a nanny.....and not one who will charge a lot....one who will charge them a lesser amount because they don't want to empty their pockets.......IT's all about being selfish and you know that. Why do companies hire employees who will work for a lower wage?....cause the more money you got the more you want to have and keep....and a lot of these companies have people who invest their money on them and an investor wants results, profits,.....and if the person who is in charge of running the company is not giving them the results that they want.....well they have a great chance of loosing their job to someone who is competent and can give them the output and results the investors want. Don't start blaming all the mexicans for america's problems, as far as I know, mexicans aren't the only people immigrating to america so stop saying it's thier fault. All this blame should be put on the US GOVERNMENT, and you know why! They are aware and have been aware for the past 40 years that there is a shi* load of immigrants coming in through the southern, northern borders....coming in through our ports, and even people who come here as tourists with a passport that never go back.....and they didn't and still haven't done anaything about it...so if you say that americans are so great because they have done so many things for this economy...well where were they when they elected the president and their senators? Because it's the american people who chose them...not us....(the immigrants).....so for this guy up here if you want to blame the immigrants I say do some research before you start typing away....the only ones responsible for this are the Greedy Coroporations/companies/investors and the GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!!

Yeah, me too... all of their lavish lifestyles and cushy jobs.  As a white male, I am sickened that these immigrants get all of the power, money, and jobs.  I try really hard to avoid paying taxes just so immigrants can take tax money and use it on... ummm... the occaisional trip to the emergency room and for a seat in a classroom.  Giving a human being the ability to live with some kind of dignity while I'm swimming in my ignorance really makes me mad!

There are things happening in Pennsylvania from what I hear.\n\nIt's time for the people in this country to get up off their butts and go out and do something about it if the federal and local governments will not.\n\nI am sick of the damned whiners and do-gooders who take the side of the illegal mexican immigrant criminals.
