they are lazy.... come the hell on... they live here for like YEARS.... and they never have the time money or care to try to learn our language, got and march there as$es to the office to find out how to become an american citizen.\n\nEveryone claims they are doing no harm.... OK then answer me this... they get knocked up in mexico and in the 8th month they come over her and have a kid for free and clog up the medical system and who fronts teh bill?  THE AMERICAN CITIZEN.  they take almost all of their paycheck and send it back to mexico... our economy takes a hit and Vicente Fox is laughing as his people (illegals) ship american funds and support his crappy countires GDP.\n\nThen when i send my kids to school they do not the best education that they can becasue some illegals kid who does not want to learn this language and prob will not amount to much in life, takes all of the attention..\n\nUse those marches as a round up and send them back to where they came from... if they wanted to be a citizen they would have found that office..... not the welfare office.....\n\nIF THEY WERE CITIZENS I WOULD LISTEN TO THERE ARGUEMENT... THEY ARE NOT... WHY DO WE NEED TO LISTEN

I can't believe the extent that people will go in order to justify illegal immigration.  You guys will find any excuse to justify breaking the law.  \n\nAnd how is Made_in_America's statement racist?  I also saw the news and they stated it was Mexicans, not Americans, bringing in the drugs.  \n\nAs far as the lame excuse about "whites" buying drugs, if drugs weren't here, there would be nothing to buy.  Stating that "Whites" buy drugs is a racist remark in itself.

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 have worked in resturants, and dug graves, worked on a farm, drove truck, in a factory, and worked some construction, I would do it again if able. I wonder what some people do not know about the word ILLEGAL. it is scarry that criminals are allowed to just roam in the US without knowing who they are or what they are up to.

English should be the national language and there should be fines for any business or company who knowingly hires illegals and for any landlord who knowingly sells or rents to illegals!!\n\nWhat part of illegal is so hard to understand?????????

No.  ILLEGAL means ILLEGAL. Not only did they break the law coming across borders, but to work they have had to get fraudulent documents which is a felony charge for everyone else

It seems that over time people use the term "illegal immigrant" very nonchalantly.\n\nLet's analyze this phrase for a moment, shall we?\n\nOK, the first part- illegal-Prohibited by law.\n\npart 2- immigrant- A person who leaves one country to settle permanently in another.\n\nLaw- The body of rules and principles governing the affairs of a community and enforced by a political authority; a legal system.\n\nSo it is against the law...hmm... DUH!! They are illegal! AKA not allowed! AKA forbidden! AKA it is not okay!\n\nNow was that so hard?

I found the following definition of illegal immigrant in:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&q=define%3Aillegal+immigrant\n\nIllegal immigration is the act of moving to or settling in another country or region, temporarily or permanently, in violation of the law or without documents permitting an immigrant to settle in that country. ...\n\nBased on the above, I think it's about time! But I'm only referring to the ones who have not committed any crimes.\n\nMany of these immigrants have been working for 5 years, earning less than minimum wage and have not committed any crimes. They should become citizens.\n\nBelieve me, some people who are citizens just because they were born in the US, cause more trouble than some of these illegal immigrants.\n\nLook at the Welfare system. Can you honestly say that all of them were illegal immigrants at one time?  How many Americans are on Welfare?  How many drug dealers are American born?  \n\nI must stop now.

I am sorry that some people do not understand what "illegal means. You make a great point.\n Americans are ALL immigrants from another country. When we become Americans through birth or through the proper citizenship procedures, we have the right to vote on American policies and laws (at the age of 18).\n\n The fact is, we have voted and the law is that anyone from another country can't just move here without going through the proper procedures. It is ILLEGAL to do so and that is why they are called Illegal Immigrants. It is not because everyone hates immigrants.  my father is a LEGAL immigrant, am I racist against my own father? That is ridiculous.\n  I understand that things are bad in Mexico. When my Father came here, his family(my family) was starving, too.\nNot only that but, their house was bombed when they were in it. So was the shelter they moved to. Despite all of this, they still had to wait. As a matter of fact, my Grandfather had to join the American Army, too. And he was happy to do it.\n  I have a lot of empathy for people that have things much worse than I do but, breaking the law is breaking the law.\n\nI dare any American to go to Mexico and break a law. See if they are as kind to you there as we are here. Not, likely.\nOr, go to Mexico Illegally and then try to protest. You will be spending the rest of your days in a Mexican prison.

What makes you think someone is automatically racist because they are anti-illegal immigration?  Illegal immigration doesn't consist of one race or ethnicity or religion, it consists of all people living in a country illegally and undocumented.  What makes you think that person doesn't just care for this country?  If that's true, then you can call me racist as well.  What about all the legal immigrants and hispanic citizens of this country who are anti-illegal immigrant?  Are they considered racist as well?  From the statistics I've read, 56% of legal hispanic citizens are pro-illegal.  So I guess the other 44% are racist, right?Seriously, people need to do research on what the definition of illegal alien means.

What people failed to understand was that no one is opposed to legal immigrants, but many of us are opposed to illegal immigrants. There is a BIG difference between the two.

You must be a nonlaw abiding person. Illegal means illegal. They are breaking the law. So how are they helping are economy?

It doesn't surprise me.  The public discussion is so corrupted by silly partisanship that the truth about immigration is hard to find.  BTW, my wife is from Mexico and she is against illegal immigration.  Larry Kudlow has written a column that does the best job of getting it right so far.
