Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, "where are the 85 billion?"  They also  contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.  According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!      \n\nTherefore, the "March 25th Coalition against HR4437 in Los Angeles," the organizers of the mega march of almost 2 million on March 25th, has called for an emergency videoconferenced meeting on April 8th between Los Angeles and any city that wishes to join the efforts toward "El Gran Paro Americano 2006."  The following meeting will take place in Chicago on April 22nd, we ask that all that wish to participate and be a part of a national effort on May 1st and beyond, to attend by finding facilities in your areas that can hold the meeting, technologically.

ofcourse.  the dem with r next to his name in the white house has already said we have to have work visas which will then imply amnesty.  sure glad I can pay for that too.  everybody has the same rights I do but I put money in for them they dont.  sure seems fair to me.

COOL!\nThat's the way it should be! The key word in all this is ILLEGAL! If you aren't supposed to be here then you don't deserve ANYTHING from us.\nI don't want to pay for your ILLEGAL brats to go to school (notice the spelling is correct!) I don't want ILLEGAL people, working in the US, taking jobs that our LEGAL citizens need. I don't want to pay welfare benefits for ILLEGAL scumbags that drain resources we should use for our LEGAL elderly. Illegal losers and scumbags cost us taxpayers millions of dollars every year...do you think that violates my rights, do you think that's fair to me? Hell No! So quit your freekin' whinning! \nIf you're here illegally you should be arrested, put in jail, raped by a big hairy ape man, and then deported to the country you came from!\nI know I'll be voting IN FAVOR of this prop!!!\nI hope the rest of WORKING America votes for it too!

They shouldnt!! They come here illegally (some, not all) expect us to pay for there retirement with social security, give them food stamps, and give them a drivers license when they cant even speak English. Do you think they heard the phrase"When in Rome..." We fly our flag, why cant they?? Give me a break

Lordzander--we meet again :)\n\nI am surprised at the vehement hatred I see posted in answer to this question. \n\nI have family memebers that would benefit from the president's proposed guest worker program (no amnesty has been proposed), due to  a major screw up with immigration forms being mishandled and no opportunity being given to refile or correct. They are not from Mexico, however they are of latin origin. They are in limbo, waiting for a response. Been waiting two years. They were here on a religious workers' visa. I know of many people who would benefit from a guest worker program. It is a humane response to a very complicated problem.\n\nNow, those of you who don't hang with farmers--will you be willing to pick the crops?  If the food goes unpicked, how much will you be willing to pay for that very scarce head of lettuce?  $5.00 perhaps, if picked by legal American hands?  How could you afford to eat, let alone pay for gas?\n\nHave you considered that unemployment is 4%, which is about 9-10 million Americans. There are about 15-20 million undocumented workers here.  If we subtract that number we still have anywhere from 4~10 million jobs unfilled.  What will happen if we don't have our illegals willing to work for so little?  Competition for workers, jobs that just don't get filled, inflation, a shrinking economy and a falling dollar. None of these are very good things--they all lead to a downward economic spiral.\n\nBut, I can see that most of you who have answered are inspired by hatred rather than facts. Learn to love your illegals and be glad they are here; they allow so many of us to live a very comfortable life.

Worse-\nThis is b/c every other potential illegal in Mexico will think it is ok to come over b/c they will eventually be automatically naturalized.  Also what is the point in paying the Border Patrol Millions of Dollars every year if this is the case?  It would be a waste of 100's of millions of dollars over the last decade in tax payers money protecting the borders.

No. America wants to push out illegal immigrants. There's a major difference.

Well, I think that if the citizens of San Francisco sit back and allow this, then they deserve what they are going to get which is a huge influx of illegal immigrants into their city and all of the costs and damages that go along with it such as overburdening of the school system, the health care system, the social services system, police/corrections, etc.  Then, I hope they won't expect the Federal Government to come to their financial aid to support all of their newly acquired citizens.  Just wait and see how much they like it when word spreads amongst all of the illegals that they can get shelter and hassle-free living in San Francisco!

Don't forget...Bush also wants amnesty and a guest worker program.\n\n\nWhich I hope does not happen..I do not support amnesty.

Illegals DO NOT have any rights and not entitled to any privileges in Amercia. If those losers think they can come here and get everything for "Free", then they are wrong. They should be severely punished in hell.

If we start legalizing immigration we are going to have another depression. What employer is going to pay an american the wages they are if they can get someone from another country to to the same job for much less. We need to start worring about what is happening in our own country. We have homeless, starving people right here in our own country. \n men and women have fought for the freedom we have here in the GOOD OLD USA it time theses people start fight for their own freedom in their own country
