No. First off,this is america and americans need jobs so put some americans to work .Second,there is way too many foreigners taking what precious few jobs we do have.third, dont enough american companys outsource enough of our jobs outside of america? And most importently How can we trust our security to other countries? We Americans,and I do mean all us Americans, I dont care if you are black,white,brown  or green if you were born in the U.S.A then you are American I think we need to gather up and tell our leaders that enough is enough and that we are tired of selling our country to foreigners one piece at a time and that we want america to be owned by Americans once again!

i agree with you.  just because my ancestors were immigrants doesn't make me one.  I was born here in this country, so i am american, my ancestors might have been german or irish, but i am american.  it's like saying anyone who has had ancestors who fought for germany is now a nazi.  That is not true, so it cannot be true for immigrants either.  People who say that ususally are immigrants and want to make everyone the same, but guess what,\n\nI WAS BORN HERE - SO I AM BETTER THAN YOU!!!

Yes, they also live in the USA and they also pay taxes! We are all the same, immigrants are not aliens from outer space, Why can't people understand this?

Because America is quickly graying--and believe it or not, there is a real labor shortage in this country.  Without workers, this great nation is set to precipitously decline.  We certainly need to expand our tax base (workers provide this tax base) and the only way to do that is by immigration.  If you look at New York City for example, it is only through immigration that New York would have grown.  It is truly a vibrant, economically & culturally rich urban area that generates tons of cash for the region & the country as a whole.  The only way that this has happened is through immigration.

everyone in the americas is the descendant of immigrants, unless you are a first-generation immigrant. the so-called "native americans" and "first citizens" as well as the "pre-columbian indians" migrated across a land-bridge between alaska and siberia (across what is now the Bering Strait) between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago.

Yes they are.. Imagine that you live in a neighborhood and your house is being robbed by vandals and the police don't do nothing about it,, wouldn't you defend your property. Well this is what the brave American citizens are doing, defending our country from just about the same, illegal immigration, drugs smugglers, terrorists, criminals, etc. And they doing it free of charge. These brave Americans are called The Minutemen, the name they took from another brave Americans that fought the English in our Revolutionary War.

Americans didn't immigrate from 99% of anywhere.  Basing your question on a false statment will net false answers.

Yes it does prove that. Also the belief that god wanted american's to have the country span from coast to coast. The american mentality was they were doing the "barbarians" (Natives) a favour by converting them and taking over their land.

Over the two and a quarter centuries that the USA has existed probably yes. The people who sneaked in have by and large helped build the economy, raised families and led blameless lives. Look at it logically: If you came to a country without a green card wouldn't you do your best to keep your nose clean and your mouth shut lest you were found out and ended up in a cell waiting to be deported?

The world is changing, and there are more immigrants in this country than ever before. Census reports show hispanic rsidents as growing rapidly in numbers. This is difficult for the economy because of the expense to educate immigrant children, and provide Medicaid & housing for immigrants. However most of them come here just looking for a better life. Can you blame them?

NO!!\nOMG!! S.O.S.!!(same old $h*t) The dinosaurs were here then the prehistoric man walked across the Bering Straits during the last Ice Age (15,000 to 30,000 years ago)and became the oldest KNOWN inhabitants of the North American continent. The Europeans came, saw and conquered the Native Americans (cruelly and unjustly). There were no laws on immigration at that time.  The Europeans formed a government, voted, elected leaders, passed laws, built this country from a wilderness. Those people passed a law later on immigration. That law says you must enter by legal means. Documents must be filed, legally processed, they must pass citizenship tests and be sworn in under oath before a person can be a citizen. It is an expensive, time consuming process. It is that way for a reason. People must be screened, their criminal records checked, medically checked for disease.\n\nI am a Native American. See that word "AMERICAN". That means I am a citizen of the USA. I am a natural born citizen. Those people who's ancestors came here are natural born citizens, too. They are NOT immigrants. You might be, but they aren't. Immigrants are people who were not born citizens. They are from another country. If they become citizens and have children here, their children are NATURAL BORN CITIZENS, not immigrants, either. Immigrants have been welcome in the USA. But our country can not take 800,000 immigrants every year and have the resources to sustain that many people. We must reduce immigration of all kinds back to 200,000 people per year or this country will be another third world nation by 2050. I don't think even the illegals would like that.

I believe most Americans do like immigrants after all that is what our country was founded on.  What Americans do not like is people (immigrants if you will) that abuse the welfare system.  I say don't come if you can't pay your way.  And learn the language please.

Yes. Illegal immigrants flooding north east to get the hell outta Aztlan and into the U.S. It's not about the land that "we stole," it's about the infrastructure and social systems (education, health care, etc.) designed to help citizens that the illegals come for.

It occurs to me that there are DAMN few people in America that are not decended from immigrants. If we had a bunch of illegal white people living and working in the USA, no one would be upset about it.

There are not that many here anymore in America, except for in the old Eastern Seaboard, and the South which never really got that much immigration; they consider themselves to be just Americans. At first the majority of Americans came from the British Isle, but then they were overshadowed by all the other groups. In fact, the most common nationality in America is German, followed by Irish and Italians. People have English roots, but they are mixed with other things as well that are more recent with regard to immigration, causing them to celebrate maybe being Italian more than English because grandfather and grandmother so-and-so are from the "Old Country" and they bring the culture more alive.\nI personally don't think the American Revolution is to blame, it's just that the English mixed in with other groups and simply assimilated.

I totally agree with Angela and Monica. Americans talk about immigrants like Hitler and the Nazis did about the Jews immigrants come to the U.S. in search of a better life and all the bad things you hear about immigrants like them not paying taxes or being lazy an uneducated are lies I came to the U.S with my family when I was 7 at the moment I'm 13 my dad always pays his taxes on time and he works extremely hard he leaves at \n7 a.m. and comes back at around 10 p.m.and the thing about us being uneducated that's a lie and Americans you complain but as I recall you stole this land from people who already lived here you stole their land exploited and killed them and one more thing some Americans think that just because an immigrant comes to this nation he can't love his homeland and his flag to those people I say \nVIVA MEXICO AND THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
