there was a movie called "A Day Without a Mexican" where all the Mexicans in the U.S. part of California simply disappeared.  NOTHING GOT DONE!  And it's true, the hardest working, most loyal, honest people i've met are Mexicans and Mexican Americans.  \n\nLet's be honest about this, the United States likes to discriminate when it's easy to spot the person.  Mexicans tend to have brown skin, therefore, easy to rail about in the halls of Congress ("oh my god, they're taking over!") & easy to whip up a furor in the simple folk of america who have never taken the time to meet someone different.

Bravo, Liz. Kudos to you!!!!! I think we need to remove all incentives for illegal immigration, but it's not going to happen because US businesses need cheap labor, and workers who have no rights!!!

Looks to me that those stupid answers that you had answered shows that you didnt understand the question. I got his point, those that would not have the 666 will be criminals like illegals are considered now

An "illegal alien" has committed a crime by entering a country illegally. I am law-abiding and here legally.\n\nOther than that, nothing.

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.

Yeah, I already knew this before the video.  Any non-illegals that marched are just sheep that dont understand the issue at all.  Its time to get all the Illegals sent home.  Legals are great, but our social structure cannot handle this flood of illegals.  Some good news- the INS just arrewsted 70 illegals from a single builder in the Cincinnati area yesterday, and they say that more arrests are coming at other builders shortly.  They also arrested a number of the Americans that hired them, and raided the coirporate HQ to get the financial records.  Hopefully they step up this initiative nationally, and really start throwing them out.

Let me see if I have this right...\n\nYou want to address the complicated moral, ethical, and legal issues of illegal immigration, but you don't even have the intellectual wherewithal to handle a simple, hum-drum, run-of-the-mill, garden-variety social crime?  WOW!...\n\nMy apologies,... but it did catch me somewhat off-guard...;)\n\np.s.  jmdavis333, My answer was a little harsh, I admit that, but at least it made a point.  Your answer, however, is just mean-spirited.  She's already fighting an uphill battle on her  'immigration' rants as it is so please, as a matter of fairness and civility, either make a point with your posts or don't post at all.

Thank the pro-hispanic lobby on this one, what it largely seems to amount to is a 'shotgun wedding' between the US and Mexico, and american taxpayers are supposed to buy off on all this garbage and not bat an eye. Since the reverse effect is happening, well it kind of shows that the GOP's head and hind-quarters aren't very well connected anymore, or one has lapped the other, something like that...what this also brings to light, though, is all these other 'programs' that give money away all over the place, Matthew Lesko's dream-come-true, and the taxpayer's worst nightmare, wealth redistribution in the worst possible sense. I think if we're going to help Mexico, it needs to be a lot more metered, and done AFTER the border's nailed shut, so as to minimize the negative impact on american communities. I think when the House finally gets around to consulting the voters on this one, there's going to be a general consensus going back to washington that basically says 'fix the border, and forget the rest of it'. It's a nice idea to try and help others, but if that 'help' is just going to get abused, there's not much point to it. Necessity's the mother of invention, and a lot of the people that originally settled the United States didn't get much 'help', because there wasn't any. Let's not have any more of this 'give away the country to appease your 3rd world business partners' garbage....Mexico could be rolling in money(some already are, they just don't share out) and feed, clothe, and educate every last one of their citizens, probably just off their oil revenues, but instead they'd like to ride the american guilt trip into a split-level condo...time for voters/taxpayers to wake the hell UP and say 'no mas' at the polls, come november...

I'd go for the corporations and businesses, they are the next in this pyramid of breaking the law, the last would be the illegals who have been getting away with coming here, getting jobs and staying without any contemplation whatsoever. The top of this pyramid is the government that doesn't enforce Immigration laws. Lately, we have many "real problems" that our President is just not equipped to solve, they just seem to get worse.

If you are suggesting that building a wall is ridiculous, I agree with you.  That proposal is impractical and only serves to fuel the arguments of advocates for illegal immigration like yourself.  It's an argument that confuses a very simple issue, with a very simple solution.  Illegal immigration would cease to be a problem if employers were heavily fined and jailed for hiring illegals.  That's why illegals are here.  Employers increase their profits by hiring them and the government lets them get away with it.  No jobs, no illegals.  When the jobs dry up, these illegals will return to their country on their own, and there will be no point in others coming because the incentive would be gone.  The few illegals that might remain here after these measures are enacted, would be here only to try to milk our welfare system, but that could easily be handled by making it a felony to do that.  Most of them would decide to leave and those who didn't would be thrown in jail and then deported.  End of problem.  No need for a wall or troops.  No more ammunition to fuel silly arguments from apologists for illegals.

your wife broke the law and was caught. She was penalised and should have been. When they said she had to go home, what was the part that was misunderstood,  was it the  "GO"  or was it the "HOME"?  I have a little sympathy, but not much. My wife came here the legal way and it took her over 2 years to accomplish this. Taking responcibility for your actions is all part of being an adult and a good citizen. Now you wait. It may not be fair, but I don't like the fact that 12 million illegal aliens have flooded accross my insecure borders and I have to deal with that bit of unfair news myself. Suck it up.

Oh I see you decided to speak English again. Good for you. \n\nTo answer your question: I think this illegal immigrant situation became a monster slowly. In other words, at first only a few hundred people were sneaking across the border daily. But over time, it has progressed, kind of inconspicuously, into a few thousand or more per day. It is one of those things that most people don't notice until one day we wake up and see that our world has totally changed and we didn't see it coming because it happened so slowly over time.\n\nBut once it was brought to our attention, we found that we needed to do something about it. No double morality here.\nIllegal is illegal,whether it be drugs, underage drinking, or a parking ticket. If it is illegal, then I am having a problem understanding what the big misunderstanding is.

I am hispanic, and I implore you to cast aside any idea that we should give amensty to ANY illegal immigrant.  We must stay true to the ideal of rule of law and fairness, and 20 million illegal immigrants have turned their back on that ideal.  They should not be rewarded.

This is actually not a question. It's a partial statement. Just because you put a ? behind it doesn't make it a question. Some people have been getting reported because this is against the YA! community guidelines. However, I will try to respond to your non-question. I believe that this is one of the most reasonable questions? statements? partial statements? to be voiced around this community. I think this could be a very viable OPTION. Of course, not every "illegal" may meet all of the requirements, just like not all Americans meet all of the requirements. If there could be a few more reasonable options in place, this might have a shot at working. \n\nI appreciate the explanation of your plan, no matter how brief it was. It shows actual thought and foresight and a solution for their families as well. It's not just rhetoric and propaganda meant to incite people. Not everyone will agree with this suggestion, as someone has already called you a name because of it but at least it's a viable thought/option.\n\nThe statement from someone that said there would be money required out of your pocket to teach them English shows the amount of ignorance in our culture. If they knew any Mexicans they would know that the majority already speak English, as well, if not better than many Americans. I know not all of them do but if they don't their kids do and they learn it from them. All of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins) including my grandparents spoke English and spoke it very well. There were no communication problems. In fact, every Mexican family I know that came from Mexico speaks English.\n\n\nP.S. I was trying to be nice by informing you that there are others who have reported people for not asking "real questions". I still do not agree that your question was one whether it was in the form of a question or a statement. That's not the issue. The issue is what others might do, not me.\n\nI still find your solution to be a refreshing change. I think it tries to make it a win/win situation for both parties involved. Not everyone thinks outside the box. I believe both sides of the issue need to have more of this sort of thinking.

I understand how frustrated you may be.  Im glad you made the distinction that you are sick of Illegal immigrants. There are many good immigrants that came to this country and did things legally.  Thats what we need to promote. LEGAL IMMIGRATION. I would like to see the national gaurd put on the borders to stop the madness with illegals coming into this great land illegally.
