I don't have a good answer, I don't Washington does either. We do need some of them to do the work that no one else seems to want to do.

i  agree  with  you   100%,  I  DONT  KNOW  WHY   THEY  LET  ALL  THESE   MEXICANS   GET  BY  WITH  BREAKING  THE   LAW,  LIKE  THEY   DO.i  guess  for  the  same   reason,  americans   cant  get  any   help  when  they   need  it. i  think  americans  are   just   here   to   pay   for   it   all.

No one is saying that Mexicans can't speak Spanish in the streets or that they can't be proud of their heritage.  The problem is that this protest is not ABOUT Mexican heritage.  It's ABOUT Mexicans who are in this country ILLEGALLY who want to continue to be here ILLEGALLY. Also, WHAT THE HECK DOES IT MATTER THAT THE SOUTHERN U.S. USED TO BELONG TO MEXICO....IT DOESNT ANYMORE. So, how is that relevant to this debate.  It now belongs to the U.S. and there are laws that should be followed.\n\nThe protests are not a matter of free speech, because our rights are reserved for the "legal" citizens of this country. I think it is not very smart to be doing something illegal, then making it known that you are doing it. \n\nPeople who are here illegally are breaking the law. There are steps that can be taken to be here legally and they should take them. It may be a difficult process, but as we all know Freedom isn't free, and if you want it bad enough, you should be willing to do what it takes to get it through legal means.\n\nWhat would happen if child molesters decided to protest the laws against child molesting. We would all say, that's crazy! How can they be "in the wrong" and demand the laws be changed so that they can do what they want. I don't think it is right. The best way to resolve the problem is to make it prohibitive for illegal people to be here, and beneficial for legal immigrants to be here. Our laws are there for a reason, America is not a free for all...and if you want to be a part of its citizenry, then you must follow the laws like the rest of the citizens. \n\nIt is wrong for people to use emotionalism to incite riot by saying that "human rights" are being violated. How is it a violation of human rights to tell people who entered this country illegally, got jobs, and basically are squatters and cheaters that at long last, YOU MUST DO THE RIGHT THING! \n\nI think they do not understand what the definition of "Human Rights" is. They are not being treated inhumanely, they are actually fortunate. Because they are being treated as any other American Citizen who breaks the law. ACTUALLY they are being treated BETTER than any other American Citizen who breaks the law. How many U.S. citizens do you know, can break the law, admit to it, protest about it....and not be punished unless or until congress decides to re-write the law in an effort to be as fair to THEM as possible. Come on! Just because they took low paying jobs and work hard at them, does not mean that they are free to break the law. And if we allow them to do it, then the country they are so eager to live in will cease to be the country it is supposed to be. \n\nIf what illegal immigrants want to do is to work, raise families, and live in a free society. Then, follow the LEGAL process to do so, learn the language, and the culture, pay your taxes, and become an American the right way!\n\nDon't break the law and then scream victim! You are not victims. The tax payers who support social programs are victims; the people who migrate to this country and become legal citizens are victims. Illegal immigrants are people who made a "CHOICE" to do the WRONG thing, and think they should be excused or rewarded for that choice. I say WAKE UP; take responsibility for your actions, and GET LEGAL or leave.

I agree.  I can understand the desperation of their situation, but if they want to be here, they have a responsibility to follow our laws, just as Americans who go to Mexico have a responsibility to follow their laws.  Personally, I think part of the problem is NAFTA; it has caused unemployment in all three countries involved, especially Mexico.  A bad decision on the part of the government has helped to put them in this situation.  But if they want better lives, how good can those lives be if the "goodness" was achieved through dishonesty and deception?  It's still not right for them to break our laws because they would be sending us back to the U.S. if we broke one of theirs.  That's what makes sense to me.

That Their PROTESTS Are So RIDICULOUS That Their Government LAUGHS And Pays No Attention To Them\n\nMaybe They Can Learn Something From The CRIMINALS That Are Protesting In OUR Nation\n\nOr Maybe The Criminals Should March Their ILLEGAL @$$ES Back To Mexico City And Protest THERE \n\nAfter The Naked Pageant, These Criminals Would Raise A Few Eyebrows In The Mexican Govt

I personally have suggested that we adopt the very same laws as they have within Mexico for this country - esp after Fox came here talking about how he didn't agree with what our congress was thinking of doing on the immigration bills.\n\nDouble standards bother me - which is maybe why so many of his citizens leave.  That and the free ride that they get over here.....

Well I See It Like This\nIf Their Passion Were As STRONG On Their OWN Government As Theyre Making It On The US Government ....\nAnd If They ORGANIZED As Well In Mexico As Well As Theyre Organizing Here....\nAnd MILLIONS Of Mexican CITIZENS Marched In THEIR STREETS WAVING THEIR FLAG....\nThe Mexican Government Would Get Of Their A**ES And Take Notice.....They Would Have To RESPOND, And Some May Argue That Theyd Get SHOT At Or Put In PRISON,\nBut In Reality People,(Think About It)Can The Mexican Govt.\nWASTE Or IMPRISON That Many People ????\nThe TRUTH Of The Matter Is That The Mexican Government Would HAVE TO MAKE REFORMATIONS ....Cause If They DIDNT\n \n(Now Stay With Me Here Folks)\n\nThe US GOVERNMENT Would Step In(Now..In The Backs Of Our Minds, Dont We ALL REALLY KNOW THAT??)\n\nThe REASON The US Government Is So Fast To KEEP THE ILLEGAL ALIENS Here Is(Are We All READY???)\n\nDRUMROLL PLEASE\n\nLimitless ILLEGAL Immigration Is the Modern-Day Equivalent of SLAVERY, benefiting only the Conservative Corporate Elites.\n\nOK .....EVERYBODY GET IT NOW???

I am sick of seeing all these illegal Mexicans. They are in the US and CLAIM they want to be here BUT....... I find that to be an out right LIE. They don't respect us, our flag or our laws. I have seen them say themselves "They are taking their country back" If that is not enough to prove their intentions then I don't know what will. They are soooooo proud of Mexico but obviously to chicken shit to stand up and fight for their own country, so why in the hell do we want them here. I DON'T!!!! This is the only country that would put up with all this sh!t. thanks to our panty-waste government. Any other country would deport them or shoot them.

They are here already.Why would we even try to deport them all.Regardless of whether they broke the "law".That "law" has never been enforced.So why is eveyone screaming for the cops,all of a sudden.(here comes the sob story(They have lived here for years,decades.They have children that were born here.Most have been productive members of this society.They own homes and have no ties to their home countries.It is ridiculous and silly to say,"send them packin".\nNow not everyone had an opinion on this until the marches and the protesting.I would like to know why that pissed so many ppl off.They do have a right to do that.It is in our Constitution.Even if they are not citizens.\nLast.I am a citizen and I don't know where some ppl got their arrogance from.There is racism involved,and if you have ever experienced racism,you would know it doesn't feel good when someone hates you just because of you ethnicity.And it is even more fucked up when they think it's funny.Maybe I expect too much from my fellow? Americans.

I think that the immigration law is completely idiotic. This country was built upon the combining of different cultures and people and for you to say that you are going to limit that is absolutely wrong. \n   Also the main group of people this is going to affect is Mexicans who come over here to work in order to support their families. If this law passes it would be absolutely devastating not only to them but to this country. The jobs that they do are jobs that most Americans find to be beneath them and are not willing to do. So who will do those jobs? Will Americans as adamantly as they are proposing this law will they rise up and dot he hard manual labor these people do .. I think not...

I have several hispanic friends that agree with me when I say...\nI think May 1 is a great opportunity for the citizens of the United States that need jobs to go and apply \nWhy should we give immigrants that are here ILLEGALLY so many privileges. \nWould Mexico give me those special privileges? Absolutely not. \nIt makes me angry that they call this movement "The Great American Boycott". You are not AMERICAN if you are not a citizen! Call it the damn "Mexican Boycott"!!!\nI have a great idea! Let's have America boycott illegal immigrants for one day! No jobs, medical care, etc. I bet it would hurt them a whole lot more than it would hurt us. \nDon't wave your Mexican flags and then ask to be Americans! If you want to be an American then you better show it and waving your countries flag is NOT the way to do it! If you are so proud of your country and where you came from...STAY THERE!!!

Definitely against.  I think there are way too many illegals in our country to make them all go back to Mexico.  I don't think they will go back without a fight.

Some Mexicans love it enough to break the f***ing law!!  GODDAMMIT!! I am SOO F***ING tired of hearing about this "rights for illegal immigrants" bullS**t!  they broke federal law coming here, then have the gall to say they want citizenship?? F**K THAT!  I dont care!!  I pay my f***ing taxes, and dammit, build a big f***ing wall if you have to.  There are too damn many illegals in this country now, and I live with more than half of them in SoCal.  For God's sakes, with the immigration protests, illegals brought down the American flag at a SoCal High School and raised the Mexican flag, with the US flag underneath, and upside down.  If you proud Americans aren't pissed about that, there's a problem.  That is BULLS**T!  and i think our f***ing president, despite being a MORON, should understand that, and PREVENT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, not grant known felons CLEMENCY!

there are illegal immigrants,legal immigrants and hispanics that were born here protesting. so you can't assume that the protesters are illegal.

Agree with Terry, we need to make a statement.  The people who protested against the immigration laws, some were illegal foreigners, some were legal and some were US Citizens. The political parties making the decisions on this are adding up the votes! I don't think we can kick out all working illegal immigrates, it could hurt America and it is really not human.  We can close the borders though and we can make the ones here pay for the process to make them legal and also we can make them pay taxes as we do. If they choose to send what they make back to Mexico or wherever their home country is, they have that right. Many people seem to be so one sided. Have you stopped to think what tax benefits the US would gain by taxing ten million plus immigrates that are currently not paying taxes?

I hope that this new law gets past through, that would make them all felons. Then they could go back to thier countries and sit in jail. They should have arrested all the illegals yesterday and deported them pronto.\n\nI think that they are breaking the law and should be punished. They don't deserve anything special for being where they are not supposed to be. Just because they crossed the border doesn't mean anything. They are not citizens, and they have no rights. \nIt should be like India, a tall razor wire fence, patrolled by the military, and if they jump over, shoot.
