To nursesr4evr: These people know exactly how to go about getting a better life because their gov't gives them pamphlets  telling them how to get into the U.S..  Go to this site and look at what Mexico's gov't is telling its citizens.\n\nhttp://www.letxa.com/guiamigrante.php

Over a hundred years ago, Mexicans had to have a cow and a cart to be able to cross the border. In other words, they had to have the means to survive and travel and have some worth in order to qualify. They had to be able to support themselves somewhat. \n\nI'm in favor of feeding the hungry, but they have to want to feed themselves, and not come here to steal and break the law. They have to be willing to learn our ways and our laws and our language. \n\nIt mixes up everything, and makes laws and life pointless when we try to be everything to everyone instead of who we are and stand on the morals and values and laws our country was founded on. \n\nIt would be a big mistake to open the borders

Because Mexico makes HUGE money off it's citizens being in the US, working, and sending money back. Immigrants from Central and South America can only cost them money, so it's easier for them to just shoot them.\n\nThey ARE hypocrites, Pancha. They lobby the US for open borders while at the same time killing immigrants coming into THEIR country. Sounds hypocritical to me.

You look at the people who made Mexico "horrible", as you define it, everyday.\nIt's so enraging to see that most Americans have no idea of the large responsability their country has had in keeping most third world countries poor, through the thousands of murderous coup d'etats the US has supported, backed and even enforced (Chile 1973, Argentina 1976, Iran 1953, Guatemala 1948 - just to give a few examples), though abusive "free trade" agreements that destroy the local industry (NAFTA FTAA), through imperialist military interventions (the most recent examples in Haiti and Iraq), through proxy wars, "low-intensity" warfare, bombings and millions of covert and non-covert actions many US people (like you) are too lazy to learn about.\nThe US was built on the backs of the third world, so learn your facts before you speak.\n\nBesides...you may not want illegal immigrants in your country, but the corporate elite that rules the USA does want them, so that they can pay squat to them. \nRemember, illegal immigrants are not "taking american jobs", American companies are the ones giving them to them... If the US government would force companies like Wal-Mart to pay an equal wage to illegal immigrants, the incentive to hire them would be gone, and, in consequence, immigrants would find no incentives to move to the US (ie:no jobs for them). But you probably had already figured that out on your own, didn't you?

Illegal immigrants do hurt our country. The reason why is because they take are jobs from us and government money away from those who were born in this country.

Because there are not a million mexicans trying to come across from canada illegally every week, use our health care, schools, social services, sing the anthem in spanish and THEN go out in the street and DEMAND to be US citizens after they came here ILLEGALLY. That's why...

First, there have been documented border incursions, they are not a myth. Second, the border is not well marked in many areas so mistakes can happen. Third, the most likely reason for these incursion is illegal activity, mostly smuggling (drugs, guns, people). The Army and Cops in Mexico are crooks. Many are on the payrolls of the drug gangs. So why not provide some "protection" and make a buck?

we're trying to kick out mexicans from a country with a latin name & out of states with mexican names. its not that they are a threat, its that they taking advantage of our socialism. remember, socialism was one of the reasons we seceeded from england. the fedgov is out of our control & we dont care. the greatest weapon of the facist is the tollerance of the passifist.

This immigration matter is complex. Immigrants fleeing Mexico, are like ants soaking up our resources but Mexicans are hard workers and will do minimum wage and/or menial labor that some Americans frown upon. Our borders are not as secure as they should be and besides that, human smugglers take advantage of immigrants wanting to come here by herding them into vehicles like cattle, with no thought of safety or dignity. \nAt least 50% of all illegal drugs are smuggled from Mexico.\n   On the other hand Mexicans make up our largest percentage of legal aliens. They contribute significantly to our economy and our culture.\n    Our country needs to make laws applying to those already here and apply new statutes for future immigrants because our country is founded by immigrants from all parts of the world.

First of all legal or not they all buy food,clothes,and other products from our stores which charges taxes.we now have classes in our schools that teaches us a different language and alot of our shoes and other things comes from mexico where they were made. they work hard doing alot of different types of jobs that gives you things such as lumber, oranges,tobacco and lots of other things. so i would like to tell every mexican out there that is reading this"thank you for your hard work and products"

The illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\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. \n\n"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole. \n\n \nCultural imperialism\n\n \n\nWe experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—as a series of mini-crises, ea

The question you posed is a VERY serious one. I feel strongly that they are in cahoots with the Mexican Government with the intent of turning at least part of the U.S. over to Mexico... they are using illegals, over 20 million at this time.. to ruin the economy and force serious concessions with Mexico.

Because we wouldn't have the guts to ask and they definitely wouldn't pay. The Mexican government encourages it poor to come here by whatever means necessary to relieve it's responsibilities to it own people.
