ILLEGAL Immigration??? Or FOREIGN INVASION???
337361
Both ILLEGAL immigration and FOREIGN INVASION!!  These people were marching in our streets demanding that we give them the same rights as everyone who came here through the LEGAL channels.  Don't you guys see something wrong with this picture??  There is a war going on here at home and people need to wake up to the truth before it gets out of hand.  Yes it is a WAR pro-ILLEGAL immigration supporters have already stated as much.  FOREIGN INVASION?  ABSOLUTELY!!  They have already proven a willingness to disregard our laws and are marching in the streets waving MEXICAN flags.  You can't tell me that's not an invasion of America.  Wake up and smell the roses people.  We can't nor do we have the responsibility to take in and support everyone who wants to immigrate here which is why we have immigration laws already on the books.  I'm sorry that their countries are so hard up but that IS NOT our fault.  Their countries were based on immigration too (Spanish Conquistadors, duh) and they've had A LOT of the SAME opportunities that our forefathers had.  It IS NOT our fault that they didn't use them!  Oh, and I don't have a swastika as I don't see this as a racial issue but a LEGAL issue.  If those of you saying that we're all racist for not wanting CRIMINALS here then you need to get a dictionary and look the meaning of racism up.  I'm not discriminating based on anything other than that they are here ILLEGALLY, REGARDLESS of their reasons and therefore according to the laws already on the books and in effect are supposed to be deported!!  EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has its own immigration laws.  Why is America made into the bad guys for wanting theirs enforced, when the other countries are enforcing theirs???

As an American with a Mexican background I find that very offensive. All my realtives came into this country legally. And why are you just picking on the Mexicans? What about all the Asians, Indians, Middle Easterns, Russisns, Europeans, etc....who are here illegally. It's fine to leave them, but pursecute the Mexicans? You need to get a reality check and think about what you say before you say it. And just for your information, this country was created by immigrants.

Yes, I do consider it a Mexican invasion.  There are 40 million illegal aliens in the US right now - maybe more and the president says there are 7 or 8 million.  When I lived in Texas I couldn't get health care because of the illegal immigration in that area.  And I couldn't get a job because I don't speak Spanish.  I moved to Tennessee and it's a lot better here.....I am not prejudiced either.....)(

So, the immigrants that started the United States were legal, eh?  Guess again.  The British government declared many of their actions illegal.  Since they were British citizens. this makes them illegal as well.  Also, if we deport all of the illegal immigrants, how do you think our economy will fare?  Do you really think that citizens will take the jobs that the illegal aliens have?  There is no way.  Also, almost all, if not all of the people participating in the petitions were naturalized citizens.

As far as the immigration issue, I have no problem with anyone wanting to immigrate, but why all of the sneaking over? Does it just take so long to go through all of the red tape or something? Just curious. I didn't see any of the previous postings, but you are completely correct! Unless you are of American-Indian descent, TECHNICALLY none of the rest of our bloodlines originated in what is now the United States! It frustrates and saddens me to see that people are still so ignorant. Even more so when I see them passing these beliefs and attitudes down to their young children! I think there is no greater crime than that! Where did the innocence of youth go? Way to go though. Great topic!

America will not HAVE a future,if the ILLEGAL INVASION is not STOPPED!!! We ALREADY have laws against ILLEGAL immigration.they are just not being enforced!!! We have laws against companys hiring illegals,but law enforcement tends to "look the other way". What NEEDS to be done,is to have those laws ENFORCED!!! Every employer of illegals,should be FINED,JAILED,and have their businesses and assets SEIZED!!!

BOTH borders should be CLOSED!!!! But,since the MILLIONS of ILLEGALS are sneaking across the MEXICAN border,THAT is why it is such a great concern!!!!!!!!!!

Immigration is not an issue but ILLEGAL immigration certainly is... I agree with what you say but what you failed to say is these illegal aliens are more dangerous to middle-class Americans that al qaeda could ever be...the difference is blowing up a few thousand or killing the future of a whole country & it's citizens!

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.

I agree with you,mate,but it looks like we're on a loser here.Some  of the answers make a distinction 'legal' & 'illegal',but if they see an obvious foreigner in the street,they don't ask themselves that question,they think 'bloody immigrant'.A little bit of racism here,don't you think?

It is all said. No wall will stop illegal migration. But illegals don't just come from the south. They come from many other parts of the world. USA has received people from everywhere, the original settlers were inmigrants from England, and if you take a close look at your family tree, I'm sure you'll find an inmigrant among your close relatives. So why all this fuzz about. Everytime politicians want to distract the people's attention from critizicing their goofs, they take on illegal migration as a sure way of deviating the citizens opinion. So, what else is new?

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

poor girl!! People say that this is a illegal immigration issue not a racist issue, but people make it a racist issue when they make comments like "All Mexicans are stealing lazy a$$es" how can you debate with those kind of comments and say it's just a illegal immigration issue?I call BULL SH*T. and agree with you!!

I hope it's a very long tunnel .... :(  I'm sorry, but with all this shouting racist by most people who either are illegal immigrants, or for some mysterious reason pro illegal immigration, one can't but help feeling a bit peeved ... to say the least ... I mean, since when did it become racist to want to protect the borders and uphold the law of the land?

How would you know they are illegal?  Are you just making assumptions because they are different from you?  I live next door to some US citizens, and they are declining my property values, by having junk cars parked all over the place and weeds growing on their property.....What can I do?  Hope and pray they move and mind my own business and accept that some people are slobs....
