If you were an illegal immigrant, what state would you prefer to live in?

I would pick Southern California.  The mayor of one of the largest cities in the world (Los Angeles) is on your side. The County of Los Angeles and the City of Los Angeles have passed ordinances that protect you over the legal citizens. There are also a number of cities that have passed ordinances making the cities into safe zones that will resist any attempts to deport or punish illegal immigrants.  You will also have no trouble finding people who speak your language as just about every nation has some enclave in the area.

How about an illegal alien.  I would like to take a whack at one of those.

Oh my god don't get me started on this subject.  I would love to start a group of people who rounded up illegal immigrants, tied them up, threw them into the back of a truck and then dropped them off in the middle of Mexico.  I don't mind immigrants.  But the ones who sneak in here illegally don't deserve to stay.  I'd love to go to a protest!

Legally or Illegally?

I'd like to move to an English-speaking country, Ireland (it's so green) and New Zealand (because it's a small paradise) would be my first choice. I also love Nice (French Riviera) and London (I've been there).\nI live in Poland.

Which direction. Going south requires nothing. No ID, no car, no money. Going north requires a Coyote, money, a safe house, etc.\nI have previously lived illegally in Mexico for two years. I was never asked by anyone what my resident status was. I got a job in a Mexican hotel and rented a house and had all my utilities hooked up. Still no one asked me for any papers.

I most certainly would not go. Another analogy would be burglary. The burglar invades your home, takes your stuff, sends the stuff to benefit someone else, then burglarizes another home to do the same thing. Illegal immigration is the same thing, just on a much larger scale.\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. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

II live in Texas and I feel the same way, that is why I keep writing to the governor of Pennysilvania, asking him to please run for President.  His name is Edward Rendell, and in his state landlords who house these illegals are fined, and the illegals deported.  If there is a second offense the property is taken, and given to the community for low cost housing. \nAny company caught hiring illegals recieves a big fine, and loses their business licenses.  \nAll of the schools are being forced to check the legal status of all of the children, to make sure none are enrolled under stolen identities.  And, he is just now celebrating with his state the largest tax cut ever recorded in the state.  He has taken a hard line when it comes to protecting his people, and this is the kind of president I want.  His people told him that they wanted the illegal Alien laws enforced, and he did it.  He is a real politician for the people, and that is what America needs.  No more candidates telling us they don't care what we want, they have their own agenda, and it does not include the American people.\nI went to every politicians web site that I could find to see what politicians are out there that we as Americans might want as Candidates.  After an exhuasting search, and reading the same crap over and over, I finally came across Mr. Rendell's web site.  I looked over his agenda, and believe me, I haven't seen that kind of interest from a politician in his people since, never actually.  I have heard of them, but I thought they were a myth, like illegals being immigrants.  I've wrote his office to ask him if he is running, and I awaiting his response.  I might not live in his state, but I want him as my next president.  No more Bush's or any of his crooked comrads.

No, you should wave the flag of the country that you want to stay in...If you are that proud of the country you are here illegally from, then why did you come here?

I dont think either should be illegal. If people want to come to this country for a better life why try and stop them?

Can't think of another country that would be better to move to. The freedoms, the rights, the economic freedom and opportunity (while it lasts) are still the best in the USA (until the government finally slouches into the hell of full socialism).\n\nThe only other ones I'd consider would be maybe Switzerland or Japan.

Yes, and kindly start in the Los Angeles County area of California. They are committing an illegal act and as any American citizen can tell you, if I were committing an illegal act I'd be arrested, prosecuted and jailed. ALL ILLEGALS NEED TO BE SHIPPED HOME AT THEIR COUNTRIES EXPENSE.

Why in the world would you want to come to the states?\n\nMaybe we could just swap citizenship, I'll take your place and you take mine?

I would move and stay a citizen of my present country.

i want illegal immigration under control more for economic and security reasons... im not racially motivated at all. i didnt mind the status quo, but i dont want these people to be legit bc that's going to mean that we add 10-15 mill low income people government assitance who pay little in taxes  which will equate billions of tax dollars being spent. also, its not good to have people moving in and out of the borders uncontrolled, especially in the last few years with all the terrorism crap.\n\non a side note, i love it when people accuse me of being a racist for being anti immigration or not understanding the issue, because my mom's family immigrated here from germany in the 1960s so then i can turn around and call them racists for thinking i have no connections to immigration bc im white.
