immigrants coming from our southern border? Taking what is not theirs, abusing our assistance programs (that were meant for our citizens), demanding rights that they aren't entitled to. Then they have the audacity to call us lazy, racist, claim they built our country and fly their Mexican flags.  Would you go to WAR there?

Yes I would. My grandparents came here legally back in the 50's and earned their rights to be called American. They didn't get welfare from the government. They worked hard to get everything they wanted. I would be at the border with my weapon ready to use it. I say have all the illegals build a wall across the southwestern US then deport them when finished.

I agree!!! Make them bastards go back home.  Really, I don't give a damn if you are a citizen or not.  I have two simple rules.  Number one, If your ancestors didn't die for this country to make it what it used to be before Bush got his ass in office, you're out!  Second, If your ass is over here and you ain't paying taxes like the rest of us, but you still expect the government to cloth, feed, and shelter your little hellions, your ass is out!  If your ass ain't American your ass is out of the fucking country!  And being American by the way is more than just crossing some border and standing on this soil.  Your family has got to have ancestor that died to make this coutry what it once was.  Thanks to the fucking Mexicans and Bush, we are losing what we once had.

If they're here illegally, how do we know how long they've been here? Send them all South. Illegal = criminal! Adios!!

We are all humans,sadly there are some that think the color of skin or  racial origin make them better than others others! I agree that the illegals are creating a big problem in this country,I agree that many of them come here and drain our system and resources\nI sat here several hours last night,just thinking.I tried to imagine myself as a parent in a country where there wasn't much opportunity to provide for a family.A country where a large portion of the population doesn't have running water.Can you even imagine what their lives must be like if they'd risk everything to cross the desert in a semi? I asked myself "what would I do" I think I would do what others have done and chance crossing the border and then try to become a citizen.From what I am told,if you live in such a country,obviously you wouldn't have the means of applying for citizenship before crossing the border.And being that you have little or no funds the US probably wouldn't approve your paper work anyways.Would any of you stay there and listen to your children cry because they are hungry or thirsty?Or would you cross the border?Not all illegals come here with criminal intent.Although just being here is illegal,I think you might have a different view if it were you and your family!\nAnd where does the blame truly belong? Illegal immigrants have been here for as long as I can remember.We didn't just wake up a few weeks ago and they were here! Our government turned their watchful eye the other way and let it happen. Have you ever wondered why?What were they getting in return? Who was benefiting from looking the other way.Have you wondered why after all the decades ,why our government suddenly wants  to put an end to them crossing our borders? Look at the news,everytime our government or someone connected to the gov.makes a huge blunder,an event has been created to take the attention away from the blunder! When the thing with Clinton and Monica first hit the news,the next night we heard about two guys carrying viles filled with Anthrax.I told my daughter not to be scared because it was only a deversion and that it would be reported later that they had made a mistake,sure enough that's exactly what happened!So look to the news .An election is coming up,and then there's that report that our Marines have deliberately killed innocent women and children in Iraq.Have you wondered why the trial for saddam is taking such a long time to conduct? Is that really saddam or a look alike?  Do any of us really have any answers?All I can say is that as a result of recent headlines,I see this country dividing and it is scary!

You hit the nail on the head. It is amazing, however, to still see some of the imbeciles on here not being able to tell the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL!\n\nAnyway, the illegals come here knowing full well that what they're doing is wrong, but they pretend that they're not breaking the law. When we complain, they call us "racist" because we want them to follow the law, just like we're required to do. So if we don't look out for their interests, we're bad... but who's looking out for us? Ever heard an illegal complain because they're affecting our quality of life? Yet, we're supposed to feel bad on their behalf?

If they are here illegally, they should have NO rights other than to be treated in a humane manner when they are ushered out.  They need to get the hell back where they came from, and if they wish to enter our country do so legally, just like thousands do every year.  I have no sympathy for those who enter our country illegally.  I welcome those who follow our laws and enter legally, no problem with those people at all.  If someone has no compunction about entering our country illegally, what other types of illegal conduct are they going to display once here?

Lets see now. We should protect our country by having a border. We should not let ILLEGAL immagrants crossing the border no matter what race it is. We should speak english because that is our MAINE language in THIS country. But lets say Im from another country and i said all those things. Im not a racist, I am just a guy who loves his country. But since I am an American who loves his country, I am a racist. I am just sick to my stomach seeing these people calling me a racist. Dont even think about calling me a racist and all Im tryin to do is protect my country. You want to know what racist is? Racist is when you go into another country and force them to learn your language so they can help you out like lets say SPANISH! Racist and when you walk around protesting holding up a MEXICAN flag thinking this country is MEXICO. that my friend is racist.

Once again, I totally agree with you on this subject. I that when immigrants come over here and don't won't want to become citizens that they are just taking advantage of us and that their plans are to just use and abuse our economy and go back where they come from later after they have soaked up everything that they can. \n\nAlso, if they came over here b/c America is a great place, then why do they expect us to change our language, lifestyles etc....... If their own land was so unbearable to them that they couldn't live there, why do they want to turn our country into the same place?\n\n That was a great question! I know I have a lot of mad people out there who are reading this, but those are my feelings about this and my feelings will not change as long as I see my country getting run over by illegal immigrants.

I'll take a shot at it, if you don't mind Ma'am! They are looking for anything to gain sympathy and portray themselves as victims. They are extremely cunning, as their real intent is to take over by sheer population. Putting up a wall will stop them from doing this. They also feel that this is their land, much as the Palestinians feel that Israel is rightfully theirs. Their propaganda machines are in overdrive right now, as this is a make or break time for them. The Mexicans really hate us, and I think it is them that we should be wary of. Americans have seemed reasonable in their attitudes and responses to these people, but it is them - they are full of hatred and rage. To me, someone with that much hatred is a much stronger candidate to participate in an extermination or genocide.

all of this B,S, about Mexicans being illegal ? strange but unless history is wrong again the Mexicans were here before any whites or any others except Indians, the U,S, took the whole western half of this country from Mexico and many many Mexicans fought for the American forces, then their land and homes were taken by the whites because our gov, did not recognize Spanish land grants, therefore driving many Mexicans who helped and fought for America into Mexico,it would seen those yelling about Mexicans would be yelling about the Islanders here who start crying for their welfare checks before they get off of the boat, or the over one million Muslims who are a very present danger to America, and are robbing us blind thru grants, loans, etc, and are waiting for their Friends to get here so they can cut our throats,    B,T.W.  what about that wet back Mexican who threw his own body on a hand grenade in Iraq to save his American buddies? do you think any Islander or Muslim would do that? don't think so,

Honey, you are barking up the wrong tree by trying to rationalise this problem with those who are willingly crossing our borders and breaking our laws.  Why SHOULD they change this behaviour?  Why SHOULD they fix their own country's system?  They can come here, illegally, but no one seems to mind.. they can work for cash and pay no taxes and take that money back to Mexico.. AND they can apply for and RECIEVE public assistance..INCLUDING welfare CHECKS.. and all of THAT money goes back to Mexico as well.  WE are funding their country and their government only has to tell them HOW.   Don't think for a minute that this is fantasy.. I worked for the department of Social Services in California and I was REQUIRED to give them the benefits even though they were illegal.. and I was FORBIDDEN to even SAY the words 'green card' to them. why?  because it might OFFEND them!!  Needless to say, I didn't stay long.. but I did take the time to talk to many of my clients.. yes, the illegal ones [after all, they made up 90%!! of my case load] and they explained the entire process to me.. all the time LAUGHING at how STUPID we Americans are to ALLOW them to do it.  So, I know what I'm talking about.

Who told you that? Some legal Mexicans are protesting right along with the illegals while some just forgot where they came from. Question. What do you have against Mexicans?

Come on do you really think it's Bush's doing? I swear the Democrates are hypocrite especially Hilary Clinton. Sean Hannity had a tape of her actually 2 one from months earlier slamming the illegal aliens and a recent one talking about how great they are. My whole problem with all of this is that they are here illegally, why aren't we out arresting them and sticking them on buses and taking them back across the boarder. They are out of control and if we allow them to stay we are just setting ourselves up for future problems. Riots because Gee if we throw a fit and protest then we get our way. What about all the ones over on the other side who are trying to follow our laws and filling out the paper work, is it fair to them. What are we teaching these people? I'll tell you, we are teaching them that it's OK to break our laws, it's OK to protest, well I don't agree, they need to be dealt with and taught that there is no tolerance to those who would break our laws and not follow our rules. I am all for allowing people into our great country, I love my country and I understand why they want to come here but it needs to be done the right way. If it isn't then it will set a president that we won't like and will not be able to live with in the long run. I want people who will follow our laws and respect them. So me that you will do the right thing then I'm all for you coming here.

We need to strengthen our borders and send them right to the back of the line. We'd love for you to come here, and we'd love for you to make a better life for yourself in our country, but we don't like it when you work illegally (yes, that takes jobs from other people, and if you came here legally you wouldn't have to worry about making so little for so much work), don't pay taxes, and take advantage of our social services. Illegal immigrants are lawbreakers and should be treated as such.

We have problems here to take care of. What about the poor kids living in Appalachia, what about all the families displaced by Katrina, what about the kids who are loosing their dads in Iraq. Charity should begin at home. The Mexicans have had their own country longer than the United States has been a country. They need to make the changes that will bring about a better life in their own country. Why do they come here and demand that we bend over backwards for them.\n\nBilly B hit the nail on the head. The former U.S companies that moved their operations down there should be paying those people a fair wage, but guess what, they went ther for the slave labor. Ford Motor Company will be the next to go there. And they are right, they aren't our jobs, the jobs belong to the companies, they can do what they want. Isn't it funny that the big companies from America are leaving for the slave labor, and now the once unknown automakers like hyundai are opening plants here. They can afford to do that because the unions have been busted and now they can get auto workers for ten bucks an hour. Seems funny that these companies get labor cheaper, they use less people to build a car, they use less materials to build a car now, but the prices go higher every year. \nWell, the Mexicans can survive on their own, they survived a long time before we the United States arrived on the scene. I think they are attempting to destroy us from within, just like the communist said they would. Wake up America. Seal the Borders, shut the gates, stop the invasion.

HELL NO!!! You can think Iam a racist biggot if you want..I don't care. Do you think I could move to Mexico City and DEMAND ANYTHING?? Much less demand RIGHTS?  Of course not!!! Especially when someone is here Illegally how many rights are they actually entitled to? NONE!! Iam sick and Fuck*ing tired of going to the grocery store and picking up a box of something and having to turn it over 2 or 3 times to find where it's written in english. DO they have half the Shi*t written in english on there products in mexico?? Hell No Would they start printing every thing in english to accomodate me or anyone else english speaking? HELL NO! SOme (not all) don't pay taxes cause they work for cash. And to top it all off some Beaner re-wrote the national anthem in SPANISH so some Illegal wet-backs can sing it in spanish. They breed like rabbits, Let their kids run around in the stores like goons, can't speak the language, and drive around with no car insurance and stolen social security numbers  and I know what iam talking about I live in Texas BEANER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.....F*UCK EM' They need to go home.  As far as the flag waving goes the bastards don't deserve to carry the american one. And need to go home to mexico if they are gonna carry their flag...
