1. Free medical care for my entire family. \n\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not. \n\n3.

Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch. \n\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services. \n\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws. \n\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English. \n\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals. \n\n12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don’t enforce any labor laws or tax laws. \n\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.   \n\n \n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico.

I think that there are things that should be added to that letter like\n14) I will work for the hard and low paid jobs\n15) I will be discriminated\n16) I will not be proud of being an American because now I'm in Mexico. So because racist people will say bad things about me waving the American in Mexico I will not wave the American flag in Mexico.\n17) I know that I could die in the trip\n18)etc.\n\nAm I tired of it? Yes. But I usually only read the first line, and scroll down to the other answer.

"My fellow Americans, Tomorrow thousands of Government Bureaucrats will receive pink slips as I am eliminating the department of housing and urban development and the department of education.  In one swoop of a pen I will save the government millions and improve education in America.  Later today I will sign the Fair Tax bill into law, eliminating the income tax and all other pay role taxes and the Internal Revenue Service enacting a Federal sales tax to be enforced by the states.  This act will eliminate vast amounts of government waste and bring power back to the citizens of the country.  \n\nI look forward to bringing you a government that will bring you more liberty and take less from you, giving you more responsibility and freedom to live as you choose, a government of the people and for the people.  I believe as Thomas Jefferson did that 'he who governs least, governs best'"

The best thing you can do is learn to speak spanish! You will need a language credit if you plan on going to college anyway. Yes explain it is rude, because it is. Lots of non-americans do this and it is rude. I hope we pass a law that English is the official language of the U.S- I was shocked to hear it wasn't but Spanish as a second language for anglos is a reality we are going to have to live with and is here to stay. As far as Cali turning into Mexico that will never happen. Here is some food for thought..... Most of California was at one time land belonging to Mexico. (along with most of texas, arizona and new mexico) When Santa Ana lost, the land was taken by the U.S.(literally taken, soldiers and rebels going up to houses and farmsteads throwing the occupants  out by force saying this is ours now get out, but hey that is what happens in war) -- along with thousands and thousands of acres that formally belonged to Mexico. The U.S. is a nation of immigrants, and your forefathers immigrated here too. You have to expect that the demographics of our country will continue to change over time. I do think something needs to be done about illegal immigration. I also think Mexico needs to do more to develop it's own economy and corruption problems so that Mexicans would not be derperate to come here. If it weren't for those illegal immigrants, however, you would be paying $18 a pound for tomatoes and lots more for things like hotel rooms, all produce, restaurant meals and so on. If you are not liking the change in the population of where you live, this is America, nobody is making you stay here. You have 50 wonderful states to choose from, as well as any country around the world. This is something you will have to think about as you grow up.

This is speech from Nancy Pelosi, who will be the new Speaker of the House. Just to give you an idea of some of the changes I hope we'll be seeing in the near future. I included the whole speech. I hesitate to call it the democratic agenda, but rather a step forward. Instead of the two steps back we've been taking for the last 6 years.\n\nIn 100 hours, the top five oil companies will take in $4.3 billion in profits.\n\nIn 100 hours, $1.1 billion will be spent on the war in Iraq.\n\nIn 100 hours, the public debt will grow by $4.9 billion.\n\nIn 100 hours, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies will gain $2.6 billion in profits.\n\nIn 100 hours, the top CEOs will earn an average of $2 million each.\n\nIn 100 hours, a minimum wage worker working 8 hours a day will earn $171.67.\n\nAnd if all goes as expected, in less than 100 hours my sixth grandchild will be born.\n\nI want my grandchild to be born into an America where government is for and by the people. I want my grandchild to be born into an America that rewards and values hard work. I want my grandchild to be born into an America where you are not labeled a terrorist coddler when you honor the Constitution.\n\nI want my grandchild to be born into an America where if the U.S. Central Command judges the situation in Iraq to be near chaos, with "violence at all-time high, spreading geographically", if the top intelligence agencies tell you that the war in Iraq is inspiring the very terrorism it was purported to prevent, and if four highly respected military newspapers say of the Secretary of Defense that "his strategy has failed, and his ability to lead is compromised...[he] must go" that you fire your Secretary of Defense and change the course.\n\nI want my grandchild to be born into an America whose government honors its duty for accountability and oversight.\n\nI want my grandchild to be born into an America that inspires innovation, that leads with dignity and diplomacy, that rejects fear mongering, and whose leaders start each day remembering that the Constitution begins with the simple but revolutionary phrase "We the people," which announced to the world that here, the people rule.\n\nIf you honor Democratic candidates with your vote today, in the first hundred hours of a Democratic Congress: We will restore civility, integrity, and fiscal responsibility to the House of Representatives. We will start by cleaning up Congress, breaking the link between lobbyists and legislation and commit to pay-as-you-go, no new deficit spending.\n\nWe will make our nation safer and we will begin by implementing the recommendations of the independent, bipartisan 9/11 Commission.\n\nWe will make our economy fairer, and we will begin by raising the minimum wage. We will not pass a pay raise for Congress until there is an increase in the minimum wage.\n\nWe will make health care more affordable for all Americans, and we will begin by fixing the Medicare prescription drug program, putting seniors first by negotiating lower drug prices. We will also promote stem cell research to offer real hope to the millions of American families who suffer from devastating diseases.\n\nWe will broaden college opportunity, and we will begin by cutting interest rates for student loans in half.\n\nWe will energize America by achieving energy independence, and we will begin by rolling back the multi-billion dollar subsidies for Big Oil.\n\nWe will guarantee a dignified retirement, and we will begin by fighting any attempt to privatize Social Security.\n\nI say this as a grandmother (of almost six) and as the Democratic Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives.

My dear American friends: I'll start by saying I am Mexican living at the border with California, that has a lot of reasons to be thankful to many USA people. I love traveling, visiting and shopping, but BY ALL MEANS would never live in the USA as I think it's the worst place to raise my children. I sadly see that racism and arrogance have filled you hearts and minds, and that education and morality are completely forgotten by most Americans. \n\nI am aware that many of my Latin folks who legally or illegally immigrated to the US are building a bad reputation for the rest of us. Personally I dislike most Mexican-Americans (often called "Pochos") not for being Latins, but rather because they got the worst of both sides. However, we must not forget that there are many others that are making their best effort and working way better than many "pure" Americans. Honest immigrants are not stealing any thing from you; they have earned what you did not. You must not forget that USA was built by immigrants from all over the world. You must not forget it was the USA who stoled lands from Mexico and native people (sluttered with no mercy). \n\nYou really want to stop immigration? Here are some tips: \n1) Start by accepting those jobs rejected by other ethnical groups (such as black, asian, italian, jewish and even caucasian)\n2) Adjust your lifestyle to a reasonable wage, instead of dreaming of becoming a millionare with a 9 to 5 minimum effort\n3) Stop using drugs (as long as most of you keep using it, other people will have a better performance than you)\n4) Stop quitting school. \n5) The world is not only USA. Therefore, there are many cultures and ways of thinking.\n6) Stop buying Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Rover, VW. Stick to Ford, Chrysles and Chevrolet.\n7) Eat no more bananas, mangoes, avocados and other food grown in other countries.\n8) Be willing to pay for consumer products what they would cost if produced in USA with the salaries you get.\n9) Send immigrants back to their countries (that might include your parents, great parents, forefathers or even yourself).\n\nI know I got a little rude, but it is not my intention to offend anyone. You have every right to protect you borders and somehow control immigration, but I just wanted to remind you how USA got to be a great nation; and that if you keep following the same path you are doing now, it will soon become nothing but good memories.\n\nI beg you to please take a step back and appreciate what you have. Read a dollar bill and return to trust God once again...

Sir,\nYou make me very proud to be an american, Bravo.  I wish more people were like you.  Good point though if you dont want to be here than get the hell out.  If you dont agree with the way we do things here well than get the freakin hell out.  If you are going to try and fly a mexican flag on american soil well get ready to get a flag pole shoved up your a$$ and get ready to get kicked out.

With all due respect, I support educating American Citizens with my tax dollars before educating foreign students. Obviously, your ethic values and efforts greatly exceed those of many of my own countrymen, but Americans continue to fall farther and farther behind other countries. While I salute and commend your efforts, my financial support remains in hope that more American Citizens will adopt YOUR values and work ethic.  Good Luck and may you reap the benefits of all your dedication, but don't ask me to back you financially.

Mexicans are not the only illegal immigrants in this country you have Asians, Latinos, Africans, the list goes on and on oh and Latinos can mean Puerto Rican, Cuban, Guatemalan, Salvadorian, etc. so please people before you begin to comment on a topic make sure you watch some news and know what your talking about so you don't sound too stupid.

In our post 911 world the borders of our country need to be controlled. \n\nTax Evasion, they don't put any money into the tax system, they just take. Many of them take the money they make and send it out of the country, so the money doesn't go back into the economy.\n\nWho knows what diseases they are bringing with them.\n\nThey bog down our schools with their children without paying taxes.\n\nThey are breaking the law by being here illegally, do you think they care about any other laws that we have?\n\nThey are taking jobs from us and our children. Don't listent to others that say they are taking jobs that americans don't want. If that were true they would be working at McDonalds for 5 bucks an hour.\n\nThey will band together and force their own agenda.\n\nNo country in history has ever survived in tact from an invasion the size as the one we have now. Yes it's an invasion, it's closer to a migratioin like birds and animals do than it is an immigration.\n\nNever before has the question of an "Official Language" been asked in this country. WHy is it an issue now? Because there are so many mexicans here and most of them can't or don't want to learn english. \n\nSay what you want but if these mexicans don't want to be Taxable US citizens. If they did they would be lining up at the Immigration office instead of marching in the streets waving the MEXICAN FLAG in our face!\n\nThey are making a mockery of our government and our good will as a people.\n\nThere are those illegals that feel strongly that the USA pushed them out of THEIR country!\n\nWould you think better of people that stood up and fought for their rights, or those who pack up and leave when things get bad? The Mexican government squanders the mexican peoples money and is as corrupt as the day is long. Why don't they fight for change in their homeland rather than come here and send back money!\n\nDo you realize that there are an estimated 20 million illegal Mexicans in this country? 20 MILLION !!\n\nThis invasion MUST BE STOPPED! If you care about your children and their future in this country.\n\nThink very hard before you join others that support illegal immigration and want to give these people a free pass in this country.\n\nYou will pay dearly for it later.

KEEP ON POSTING,JD!  DON'T LET THEM CENSOR YOU! THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS TO BE REMOVED!!!\n\n#3.) MEChA and La Raza (and others)..The most imminent threat. They infiltrate our schools teaching their propaganda to our young people. They teach about the fairytale of Aztlan and how the Mexicans are engaging in a steady, infiltration of our towns and cities to take over the USA or "La Reconquista". Those slithering into our neighborhoods are the "Trojan Horses". They will one day rise up against the USA as the majority and they WILL take our country if AMERICANS don't wake up and pay attention. IT IS HAPPENING NOW!!\n\n#4.) Hugo Chavez - Teaching Eastern terrorists Spanish so they can blend in with Mexicans crossing our border. They have already entered our country are set to strike at us at any time. Our Border Patrol have caught some of them who are connected with Eastern terrorist groups, no telling how many have already slipped through our porous border. We're sitting ducks.\n\n#1 and #2 (tie) - I'm not sure which is the worst or most threatening to us. Our Intelligence and Military are our first line of defense against them on foreign soil and they are a threat to us but I have confidence in our Military to keep them at bay THERE. Although I beleive some have infiltrated our country through the Mexican border with the aid of Venezuela, I don't feel they are as much a threat at THIS VERY MOMENT on the lives of AMERICANS. I'm not the "all seeing, all knowing" so I could be wrong about it.\n\nThey are ALL threats to the American people, our culture, our heritage, and our future. Unless we stop all illegal immigration, close our borders, deport all illegal immigrants who are here and reduce ALL immigration, we will not be able to control who comes here, where they come from, why they are coming here or the numbers. We cannot be the welfare center for the world. We cannot be the homeless shelter for the world. Our taxes nor our natural resources will support innumerable amounts of indigent people. We have got to take care of AMERICANS and the natural resouces we have. If our financial support to other nations is stopped, if our financial care of our own country is depleted, if our natural resouces are drained, who would we be able to help then? NOT ourselves or anywone else! What good would it do to put our own country into ruin to aid 4.6 billions poor people, when that aid would not even make dent anyway? NONE. We have to take care of our own citizens, FIRST. We must reduce our immigration back to 200,000 people per year in order to keep population at a rate in which we can provide natural and monetary resouces without depleting those resouces.\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=...\nhttp://immigrationcounters.com/........\nhttp://usawakeup.org/howtodestroyamerica...

Here it is:\n\n Good evening. I have asked for a few minutes of your time to discuss a matter of national importance: the reform of America's immigration system.\n\nThe issue of immigration stirs intense emotions and in recent weeks, Americans have seen those emotions on display. On the streets of major cities, crowds have rallied in support of those in our country illegally. At our southern border, others have organized to stop illegal immigrants from coming in. Across the country, Americans are trying to reconcile these contrasting images.\n\nAnd in Washington, the debate over immigration reform has reached a time of decision. Tonight, I will make it clear where I stand, and where I want to lead our country on this vital issue.\n\nWe must begin by recognizing the problems with our immigration system. For decades, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders. As a result, many who want to work in our economy have been able to sneak across our border and millions have stayed.\n\nOnce here, illegal immigrants live in the shadows of our society. Many use forged documents to get jobs, and that makes it difficult for employers to verify that the workers they hire are legal. Illegal immigration puts pressure on public schools and hospitals, strains state and local budgets, and brings crime to our communities. These are real problems, yet we must remember that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are decent people who work hard, support their families, practice their faith, and lead responsible lives. They are a part of American life but they are beyond the reach and protection of American law.\n\nWe are a nation of laws, and we must enforce our laws. We are also a nation of immigrants, and we must uphold that tradition, which has strengthened our country in so many ways. These are not contradictory goals. America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society at the same time. We will fix the problems created by illegal immigration, and we will deliver a system that is secure, orderly and fair. So I support comprehensive immigration reform that will accomplish five clear objectives.\n\nFirst, the United States must secure its borders. This is a basic responsibility of a sovereign nation. It is also an urgent requirement of our national security. Our objective is straightforward: The border should be open to trade and lawful immigration and shut to illegal immigrants, as well as criminals, drug dealers and terrorists.\n\nI was the governor of a state that has a 1,200-mile border with Mexico. So I know how difficult it is to enforce the border, and how important it is. Since I became president, we have increased funding for border security by 66 percent, and expanded the Border Patrol from about 9,000 to 12,000 agents. The men and women of our Border Patrol are doing a fine job in difficult circumstances, and over the past five years, we have apprehended and sent home about 6 million people entering America illegally.\n\nDespite this progress, we do not yet have full control of the border, and I am determined to change that. Tonight I am calling on Congress to provide funding for dramatic improvements in manpower and technology at the border. By the end of 2008, we will increase the number of Border Patrol officers by an additional 6,000. When these new agents are deployed, we will have more than doubled the size of the Border Patrol during my presidency.\n\nAt the same time, we are launching the most technologically advanced border security initiative in American history. We will construct high-tech fences in urban corridors, and build new patrol roads and barriers in rural areas. We will employ motion sensors infrared cameras and unmanned aerial vehicles to prevent illegal crossings. America has the best technology in the world and we will ensure that the Border Patrol has the technology they need to do their job and secure our border.\n\nTraining thousands of new Border Patrol agents and bringing the m
