if we give these ILLEGAL aliens amnesty..in 30 years will they and their families be asking for reparations like black people are claiming..???

You have to be serious: we Latin Americans are the victims of Spanish colonialism, internal strife, etc., but we were never the victims of American slavery.  We will never ask for "reparations".

HECK NO!!!!! They ALREADY get  almost everything they want!!! They get WAY TOO MUCH as it is!!!!!! The benefits/services they get for FREE,should be going to LEGAL citizens!!!!!! WHY should we reward these LAWBREAKERS??? It would ONLY encourage them to DEMAND even more from us!!!!

The problem is that YAL don't smack the idiots that claim to be the "black people" and immediately demand reparations.\n\nJesse starts squawkin' and YAL just stand back and watch!\n\nAs long as the VOCAL "black people" all scream for more money and benefits, then they and everyone that "participates" by default are included in the group.\n\n"Default" in this case means YOUR fault.\n\nThank you for your time.

Just send them back to where ever they came from.  Here are some reasons to take that approach:\n\nArizona is the temporary home of 500,000 illegal aliens. They cost Arizona taxpayers over $1 billion annually in services for schools, medical care, welfare anchor babies, loss of tax base and prisons. Illegals use those vehicles for smuggling more people and drugs from around the world into our country. When the vehicles are recovered, they are smashed-up wrecks in the desert. If not found, they have new owners south of the border as thieves drive the cars through the desert and into Mexico as easily as you drive your kids to soccer practice. \n\nIllegal aliens displaced American workers at a cost in excess of $133 billion dollars last year according to Harvard Professor George Borjas. American citizens: College and high school kids cannot find a summer job in yard care, landscape, fast food or service jobs. Why? Illegal aliens work them at a third the wage and often, under the table. \n\nNot only do young American not have jobs; their parents are paying taxes for illegal aliens who are not paying taxes. \n\nAnnually, 75 percent of drugs arrive from Mexico at a net cost of $120 billion hard currency that leaves our country for good. In addition, our tax dollars pay $80 billion for the War on Drugs each year. It is a war that hasn’t been won in the past 30 years and drugs are as available today to your teenager as they were in 1970. \n\n***When an alien criminal gets caught for rape, murder or drug distribution, you pay $1.6 billion annually in prison costs to house, feed and clothe those filling 30 percent of our federal and state prisons—not to mention TV, movies, weight rooms and other entertainment—they enjoy while being incarcerated.*** \n\nOver 300,000 women annually arrive pregnant and drop them on U.S. soil. The American taxpayer pays for food, housing, medical and schooling for them to age 18 PLUS their mother. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, average annual cost per child K-12 is $7,161.00 and exceeds $109 billion annually per cycle of anchor babies. \n\nThe average head of household illegal alien costs you $2,700.00 in welfare money over and above any taxes he or she pays in their meager paying jobs. With 15 to 20 million illegal aliens in the USA, that figures exceeds $20 billion of your tax dollars. (Source: Center for Immigration Studies, August 2004) \n\nHow about the $56 billion in pure cash illegal migrants sent to their home countries last year and every year? That’s after their kids enjoyed free education, free lunches and free medical care paid for by you. \n\nMexico receives $15 billion annually from its worker drones. No wonder Vicente Fox sent us 9.2 million illegal alien Mexicans so far. \n\nThe lifetime net fiscal drain—taxes paid minus services used—for an adult immigrant is $55,200.00 according to Carrying Capacity Network. \n\nWith a minimum of 15 million illegal aliens in our country, these figures are the tip of the iceberg. Average bilingual education is $1,200.00 per illegal alien student. Get this! We educate 1.1 million illegal alien children each year. The American public has paid $27 billion to provide forms, ballots, interpreters and brochures for languages other than English in 2003. \n\nAn estimated one-third to one-half illegal aliens work off the books. It costs $200 million to provide for emergency health care for illegal aliens in the Border States annually. California with over three million illegals paid $79 million, and four of their major LA hospitals bankrupted and shut their doors in 2004. Texas with 1.5 million illegal aliens paid $74 million in hospital care. Georgia ran a $63 million deficit for 64,000 unpaid doctor visits to their Grady Health Care system in 2002. Georgia taxpayers paid $27 million for 11,188 anchor baby hospital births. Georgia taxpayers paid a whopping $242 million for educating illegal alien kids in 2003. \n\nWhat are the conseque

Here's an eye opener:\nSenate Bill-- the rights illegals will get:\nCurrent Bill:\n\n1. grants amnesty to the MILLIONS of illegals already here!\n2.grants amnesty to illegals FAMILYS,who live OUTSIDE the country\n3.admits HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of unskilled "guest workers",through a new "guest worker" program,with a direct path to permanent resident and citizenship!\n4.admits 1.5 MILLION\nagricultural "guest workers" with a direct path to citizenship!\n5.increases the number of employment based, immigrants admitted to the U.S. each year,by 400%!!\n6.gives the Dept.of Homeland Insecurity,the discretion to waive fines for employers who knowingly hire illegals!!\n7.allows states to give ILLEGALS,in-state tuition benefits that they can DENY to citizens who live in other states!\n8.requires consultation with the MEXICAN government,before we begin construction of a fence along OUR border!\n9.creates new student visa programs,with direct path to citizenship!\n10.allows ILLEGALS to claim Social Security benefits,for work performed ILLEGALLY!!!!\n11. Adds a 10 year 'statute of limitations' to give amnesty to illegals coming in in the future if they provide documentation saying they were here for 10 years at any future point. (This to people who have been using false documents all along.)\n12. Each of the guest workers in each of the 1.5 million person PER YEAR and 200,000 unskilled person PER YEAR program would, upon obtaining residency or citizenship be able to bring their families as well. This includes indigent parents at a time when we already don't know how we will fund old age requirements for the baby boomers.\n\nCredit goes to: DAR and yars232c Y!A members

Yes, they compare themselves to the fight for civil rights from the blacks, and that got bad comments from alot of them, as they fought to live under the same constitution, and were citizens, these people are not.\n\nSome of the leaders of the illegals are calling up to and for Armed Conflict with America!\n\nhttp://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13002\n\nTHANK YOU TED KENNEDY!!!  COMPARE YOUR LEGACY TO YOUR BROTHERS NOW!!!

I agree, why would they want to be here then. Liberal media is anti American.. I read and watch it, but disregard it! Illegal aliens do not deserve amnesty or anymore perks from the country they disrespect.

Every person for illegal immigration needs to compensate these innocent people who have had their social security numbers and identities stolen by these illegals who invade our country with no care who they hurt. They should have to not only compensate the money lost from their social security accounts after they are zeroed out once the fraud is detected, but every last cent the victims had to pay taking time off work, every cent that went into photocopying documentation, every cent that went towards lawyers and gas driving somewhere to get this mess taken care of, and any other financial expenditure the victim had to cough up. They should also be forced to compensate the victims for the emotional hardships endured. They should have to compensate for the money and time spent trying to straighten out their credit ratings after these illegals have ruined them. They should be forced to compensate these victims for every single hardship related to what these illegals have inflicted upon these people. Currently, the system does not provide any compensation at all and a lot of people are never restored to previctimization status. Oh but these pro-illegals claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime that hurts no one and that we are whining when we complain. \n\nYou think these illegals care that they are hurting innocent lives? Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans.

Why does everyone keeps bringing the ( Oh they do the jobs no one else wants that's why we need them)in 1986 they had the same argument,so Reagan gave illegals amnesty,as soon as they were legal,they left those jobs and took over jobs that US citizens needed,not only that,the ones that stood in those low wage jobs went into welfare because they claimed they could'nt support their families(one wonders how they managed to support their families before they were made legal)don't expect this group of illegals to stay in the same low paying job once he or she is given amnesty,they will go against US citizens for any good paying job,so now expect another bunch of moochers cross our borders and claim they are here to do the jobs no one wants,DOES ANYONE SEE A PATTERN HERE

I hope they do. That fool insulted them 30 years ago and should be held to account for his actions. It would serve him right to, in his old age, have to survive on the Social Security he and his cronies have raided for pork projects for years!

I have lived exactly what you are describing.  I began 'preaching' about this problem about 15 years ago and no one would listen. I then lived in California and worked for Social Services. You can just imagine what I experienced there.  I have since moved back to my home midwestern state and now I see it moving in here as well.  It is an invasion that people and legislators have ignored and avoided doing anything about for far too long and now we are faced with a crisis.  Do I think that amnesty will have them respecting our laws?  OF COURSE NOT!  They came here illegally. That, in itself, makes them lawbreakers, if not criminals..  none of whom respect anything or anybody.

There should be no exceptions. Period. I say round up the ones who are here and ship them back to where they came from. They are a drain on our economy. I see them all the time sending most of their paycheck back to their families in Mexico. They live 20 or so to a house, so it's not like they're helping the real estate market. They're digging through dumpsters behind the grocery store adn the thrift store, looking for usable food and clothes. They're riding bicycles. Get rid of them and close the borders.

You're right,most all the illegals could be deported,over time!! Amnesty should NEVER be given to people who FLAUNT our laws by breaking them!!!  amnesty NEVER works,all it does is ENCOURAGE even MORE lawbreakers to come here!This is not even fair to those who have waited for years to come here legally!! I think,that IF there is a "guest worker" program actually NEEDED,that it SHOULD NOT automatically lead to citizenship!! The United States of America does NOT need any more citizens! And, we can not AFFORD any more poverty level,uneducated,welfare people!

Becuase America need to pay for their crime, because it's over doesn't mean their except from a crime. See it's pride of America everyone like to blame what America and their ancestors did on the "Africans". I guess the Africans killed 100 million blacks on their trip here. I guess the "Africans" shoot them, lynch, burn alive, rape, burn their homes, rob of their nationality, names, culture, customs, religion, and families. I guess the "Africans" call them Nigger, and put hoses on them, sent dogs after them. What about the Africans that put them in iron collars, worked from sun up to sun down, whip, beaten, then poured salt in their wounds, I guess it was the Africans. I could go on and on about what America and white America ancestors did. But they all have too much pride to admit it. They don't tell you that they get to benefit from 400 years of oppression to this day. America will bankrupt just repaying for the millions they kill. They will go bankrupt just for the million they mistreated. And if they have to repay for free labor bankrupt their too. If not the fact that America owe blacks anything it the fact America don't have a right to benefit from it. No one no matter what race should come here are be living off the expense of our ancestors that America still hates. The question is who will blacks back then want to benefit form their expense, everyone or just their descendants.

I think Amnesty should be granted to those illegals who have been here for over ten years and have proven to be upstanding citizens in that time, have constantly been working and who do not have a criminal record.  Those found to have a criminal record or are currently in our jails shoud be deported immediately.  Landlords knowingly renting to illegals and employers hiring them should be fined after the first offense and jailed after.  Before implementing any type of Amnesty or guest worker program however, our borders MUST be sealed!!
