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...

Expecting people to respect the law is not racist. I agree with your position, but I do care who is in the country. Respecting the law begins with not entering the country illegally. Have no fear though Democrats are going to give them amnesty and then they will all be legal. The new incoming head of the Homeland Security Committee has stated that his first goal will be to review the border fence with an eye towards scrapping the whole project. I am also sure that now that Democrats control The House, The Senate's first order of business will be to pass the Kennedy/McCain immigration bill, which will not only legalize all that are hear already, but will also allow no less than 400000 new immigrants into the country per year. The major stumbling block to passage has been that the House would not accept it and that doesn't appear to be a problem anymore.

No not yet unfortunately, i hope they pass that because these illegals are causing this country money and some might say no they are not, but the way things are going it definitely will.  Either come in legally or go away!

Immigration law reform is long overdue.  I'm more interested in what the actual law will look like after it gets out of committee (or if it can even get out of committee).  The biggest problem with sweeping reform legislation is that it rarely works and usually backfires in some form or other (See the recent bankruptcy reform legislation.)  I wish I had a little more faith in the political process to get stuff right.

I think it showed that they have no allegience to the US, or else they would not intentionally try to harm the economy.  However, I don't think they did...and this business about protesting until the government gives them their way...sounds like a temper tantrum to me..and one that needs to be stopped.  And this does not make me racist...it makes me sensible..illegal is illegal, period.  And to the people who are going to talk about the laws 200 years ago...times have changed, laws have changed.. Check out citizenship laws in Mexico...they don't allow illegal immigrants, much less give them drivers lisences, translate all into a foreign language for their convenience, or allow them to protest.

The bill should pass, this is a country of law which is be ruled by law. There should be no way for anybody to break those laws because you want to survive? The law is not prohibiting migration to America, but those who want to come in illegally. If you want to come to America, do the right thing, ask for permission from the US consular and get here legally. The argument of, immigrant doing the job nobody want to do is not correct and should not be entertain. If they want to survive they focus their energies in developing their countries and enjoy the fruit of their labor for their mother land. Or should come in legally and be documented, pay their taxes so that I will not end up paying for their education and health care needs. This is is a sovereign country of Law and these Laws must be respected and by all.

yes that is what this whole fuss about illegal immigrants is about. because they dont' want to follow our laws and become an american citizen but they want to reap the benefits of being an american citizen.

Being from Texas, I've been aware of this issue for at least a decade. What's amazing to me is how some people can't see the difference between legal and illegal. They keep yapping about how racist it is to want to guard the U.S. border. They're obviously clueless as to what this constant invasion will mean to the future of the U.S. \nBut it has opened my eyes to how much our elected politicians do not want to stop the invasion.

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.

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.....

They know,they just don't CARE!!! Why do you think they SNEAK into the country??!!! Why do you think they HIDE in the shadows?? Oh,they KNOW all right!!!! They just don't give a crap that they are breaking the LAW,and they are ALSO making it harder on those who chose to come here LEGALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope they don't build it at all.  I'm against illegal immigration, but I think there are better ways to handle it.\n\nEnforce and update the regulations and laws that make it so appealing to cross the border illegally and then get supported by the government.... there's a start.\n\nA border fence... that will be a war zone.  I'm glad I don't live close to that.\n\nWho will be crazy enough to take a job like that?  \nMaybe illegal immigrants, but I imagine the legal ones would have NOTHING to do with THAT.  Probably more likely to be built by crazy rednecks.\n\nI♥♫→mia☼☺†

I think they should come into the country legally then.  I'm not against anyone coming into this country to better their lives for them and their family...we all came here because our ancestors wanted a better life...well, accept for the Native Americans.  But the complaints have been because they've been coming in illegally, sending all their money back to Mexico, using our public services and not paying taxes.  Enough already...send them back and they either make their country better or find a way to legally come into ours.  I know of no other country which allows people to come into their country illegally and stay...but it is the U.S. which is taking flack for trying to get rid of our illegals.

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!!!

I read your rants and I cannot debate you because I agree.  However, it still is not fixing the problem now is it?  We really need to look at the practicalities of this.... It will take a process of time, but first, any illegal migrant who is in our prisons or jails, should be shipped out immediately!  No regards on this one.  Next, any illegal migrants who are already employed here should be back taxed on prove able income for the duration of their employ and the employer should be HEAVILY fined.  Then, they should be allowed the opportunity to remain and work as taxable aliens until that time they choose to gain legalized status.  They also should be required to learn the English language, since they are in an English speaking country.  There is so much more but that would at least be a start.  Agree?\n\n\nAs for those who call these illegals-immigrants- they are not.....they broke the LAW.  When you defend them because`they came here wanting to better themselves and help their families' you are propitiating that breaking laws is okay if it helps you achieve your golas, or it makes your life better.....think about it!!!  If it will make my neighbors life better to steal my refund check out of my mailbax, is that alright?  If it makes someones life better to come into your place of business and kill you to take your money, is that alright?  We cannot go around and disregard the law because it is inconvenient people!
