If they come legally they are welcome, but if they come undocumented, they need to go back.

Now, you are a Mexican person that I can try to understand.  However, I also feel as Hayleylov does about your "loving Mexico."  If you love Mexico, why did you leave it?  If you love Mexico, why don't you go back there and try to help that country?  Why don't you just admit that Mexico is an awful country because they don't love or help their people?  If they did, their people wouldn't be making tracks to the USA for a better life!  I would understand you more if you said that you love your people and your culture, but that you don't love the government of Mexico and that you want to do something to change things back home.  I like that you seem to understand how the American citizens feel about the marching in the streets of the illegal immigrants and the waving of their flag while doing so.  However, you also say, "I want our country to thrive here and some day we can have mexican people in the senate and we can help more of our people and become stronger but not by hating them it wont happen that way my people lets me nice to them."  That whole sentence is offensive to American citizens!  No, you should want your country to thrive in Mexico, not here, and you should fix the government of Mexico, not state how you want Mexicans in the senate [in the USA] - that is not the way into the heart of Americans. That still sounds like you are "taking over."  Stop that kind of talk if you want to be accepted in the USA!  I, also, am from two countries - I was born in the USA and now live in Canada, having immigrated (legally) to Canada with my family many years ago and I have legal citizenship of both countries. I also love both countries very much!  However, I did not come to Canada saying that we Americans are going to take over Canada and place our American people into positions in the Canadian government, etc.,  Yes, be nice to the American citizens and talk about how much you love the USA and your mother country of Mexico and how you hope to make things better for your people in Mexico one day.  That is a much better and more acceptable way to be speaking when you have come to another country.  Believe me!

Nope. To me, it is just a terrorists gateway. If millions of illegals can cross this border with no problem, how easy would it be for the Al Queda to come on over here from Mexico? I agree with you 100% If it does make us "racist" than so be it. I serve this country with pride, and to see them crossing this border illegally and flying their flags and not bothering to attempt to learn English is a slap to the face for me.

I'm a black Latina,I am also 1/4 Mexican so I look at these people as fellow human beings and fellow Latinos. I will not turn my back on them whether legal,illegal,etc. I also deal with(all nationalities) people from all walks of life on a daily basis and I know the poverty and conditions they experienced in the old country.Just think 50 years ago people used to feel the same way about us blacks,people may say the situations are not similar,but they are.

Yes, this is a yahoo war because I am totally against illegals right to work in the United States and every AMERICAN, it does not matter what race, should feel the same.\n\n But, however I do like tequila!! And usually end up on the floor!!\n\nBOOBOOLUBEAR, THAT HAPPENS IN OTHER COUNTRIES TOO!!!DUH!!! AMERICANS CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT TO BECAUSE WE PAY FOR THAT RIGHT TO BEAR CHILDREN AND I BELIEVE WE SHOULD SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN. THE MEXICAN GOVT DOES NOT SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY!!!!!

I agree but the invaders here had to go on a long-ass ship ride, they deserved a break.  And honestly i am tired of hearing about that crap because it was a long time ago, those people then need to hear about it not the people today.\n\nMexicans are most definitly invading here and now!

You did a great job at summarizing my feelings too!  I definitely agree with you.  Remember, United We Stand, Divided We Fall.    And I thought the time spent in history class with wasted. I am beginning to see some similarities here.  I still don't understand how any red-blooded American can sit idly by and allow this to happen.  I have become very vocal with my congressmen, senators, representatives, etc.  And you know, they actually act like them are glad to hear from me. The more people they have telling them how they feel about the situation, the stronger our (We the People) voice will be.  \n\nP.S.  I would only go to Mexico and do those things you mentioned if I had a death wish!!

marabierto1961 is partially right and wrong the 12 million illegals are to blame but I've heard that some people in the mexican government give people manuals on the best ways of sneaking across the boarder, how much food and water to bring, landmarks and stuff like that!  As of the other stuff he said he must be suffering from a cranial rectal insertion complex, cause he is completely wrong!

I'm getting deja-vu. Didn't you ask this question already ? I remember answering it also. Many people feel bad for Cubans because they are suffering under Castro's tyranny. Not to say that Mexicans aren't suffering as well. Many of the Cubans that come here already have family members here to help them. The main thing is the Communism issue. This country has always hated Communists,this is why,in my opinion Americans are more accepting of Cubans.

I am not  against the Mexicans that want to work over here i am fed up with all the free loaders. I think Americans are fed up with all of the Illegals, not just the Mexicans. Sept, 11 was a sad day and thousands of people lost there lives.  One of the hijackers who was an illegal the day after he flew the plane into one of the towers he got his visa. There are over 12 million Illegal immigrants here. That means 12 million people that do no get there polo shot, measles, ext. which might means what.

I know what you feel like.\n\nA friend of mine owns a restaurant, and has an Albanian chef.\n\nOne minute he his nice, and in the blink of an eye he is throwing plates and shouting.\n\nJust this week he slapped my girlfriend. Unfortunately, the police are now involved so I can't get my own revenge... it sucks.

I think it probably depends more on where you live, as to how you feel about it. Most people closer to the border, our fellow Americans, aren't to happy with ILLEGAL immigration. Always remember to say legal or illegal, that is the issue, not immigration.

never could've said it better.\n\nmy family and i are immigrants, too, but we all came here with appropriate visas - we didn't cross borders, climb fences, or swim across channels...we worked here with appropriate documentation/work permits, paid taxes, and did not misuse the benefits system...that's why i take the same stance and feel very strongly against illegal immigration.

This is a very interesting question, and of course have more than just common sense involved on this.  I understand good and bad feelings, but just let me tell you a little bit about me, then probably you can change maybe not all your feelings but at least you can know the human part of one of that "illegal immigrants".\nI came in here to California in 1994 and since I came, I have been discovered how hard is to get a good lifestyle because the language barrier, also the culture and laws and why not, the racism but not from americans, racism from the people who came from other countrys who have some good economic position.  Is like when the salmon goes back to have their eggs agains the water flow.  After few years I decided to learn English for myself, and also to give something back to my "host-country" then because I really like the emergency services I got involved into the American Red Cross as a Disaster Services Volunteer (I have to respond to shelters or places like that when is needed), also I'm a communications volunteer for the Los Angeles Fire Department, I'm volunteer for a Search and Rescue team who help LAPD and LAFD assisting in medical stand by and search for elders and/or kids who get lost and recently I went to the school to have my Emergency Medical Technician certificate just to assist any person in case of an emergency.  In the last months I found a kidnapped girl, I assisted in 3 traffic collisions helping the victims to keep breathing and avoid shock.  My personal vehicle looks like an ambulance, I have emergency lights, all my first aid kit, whatever needed for first response and also I'm trained to help my neighbors in case of an earthquake.  In my professional life, I work in a company as a Graphic Designer and I'm starting my own company.  I'm reporting my income tax every year, I keep my money here in the country, my kids are on the Honor Roll on their schools ("I'm a proud parent of.." stickers are in my car's bumper next to the Fire Department sticker is) and also all the time do my best to be friendly with everybody.  But... I'm an illegal immigrant.  That's true; for administrative reasons, I cannot reach any protection status here.  But, I don't care, I'm living here and I have to serve to this country like my own one because this country make possible for me to have a decent life style to grow my kids and to be a good person. Like my batallion coordinator on the fire department say: "you do more than others, who are americans, do for this country".  Do you still have bad feelings agains ALL illegals? or I can be at least the possibility for you to think a little bit about what other immigrants do for this country?
