You do NOT have to be an American citizen to join our armed forces. In fact, it is one way to get citizenship.\n\nRead this: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL31884.pdf#search='citizenship%20and%20military%20service'\n\nIt seems to be very difficult to find out if there are any non-US citizens on the Wall, except for American Indians.

yes there lots of hispanic americans remember the alamo where we took the land from mexico? lot of those people stayed when the new border was established so they were actually here before you were. so next time you call one of them a wet back just stop and think he just might be more of a citizen than i'm myself.

You are right. If you know history you can see the only Americans that lived there all their lives are the navajos, siouxs, cheyennes, etc. \n\nSo I do not see them protesting... do you?

By itself yes, but check my answers and others, it goes way beyond that.  On this issue I don't believe our leaders are protecting Americans as much as an illegal community and colonizers.

Hell yes there are! I live in Texas and there are aliens everywhere and most of them don't have green cards! It cracks me up that they think they have the right to be here. And, they expect us to fork out our tax dollars to take care of them.

well, foreingers are okay, illegal aliens aren't.  and seeing as how they themselves are illegal, everything they do is illegal from that point on.  Illegal shopping.  Illegal eating. Illegal sleeping.

I think they are people who have fled their countries for a better life here.  I do not think they are the biggest part of this problem.  US companies that seek them out and in some cases help them get into the country are the biggest part of the problem.  Until that is dealt with no ridiculous, under patrolled wall or fence will keep people out.  Congress (both parties) would like for us to focuus on the illegal entrants, on fences and even on beefing up security.  that is dishonest of them.  Do you ever notice how very few Senators and House members are drawing our attention to corporate America's hiring of these people?  Could it be that they don't want to upset the source of their campaign dollars?

Yes, they are human beings after all, and do a lot of the jobs that legal citizens wouldn't for the wages paid. Ms China up here must be a Republican, because to think that illegal alliens are responsible for taxes going up it's totally misleading.\n\nFirst: Illegal Immigrants pay millions of dollars in taxes each year, that are never refunded, because they are afraid that if they file, they'll get busted.\n\nSecond: You couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, have fresh produce at your local grocery store, or go to your local McDonalds to have a cheese burger if it weren't for all the illegals! They make it possible for you and me to have all these services for a lot less, due to their minimal wage jobs! \n\nAproximatelly 90% of migrant workers are comprised of illegal alliens! Good luck getting your fresh fruits and veggies delivered to your table.\n\nThe same is true to the meat packaging industry...forget your oscar myer hotdogs and spam...The wetbacks package all that for us too!\n\nSo before you go bathmouthing the illegals, think about how much money would you like to be paid to clean up a publick restroom, or take out the trash from a hospital, or spend all day out in the scorching sun picking up produce! \n\nThese people don't want to come here to get a free-ride, they bust their ass out, doing grunt jobs nobody wants, because they want to be able to feed their families. \n\nTaxes are raised, because a lot of real American's live beyond their means, by filling bankruptcy and overcharging their credit cards! Who do you think ends up paying for that? The tax payers do.\n\nThe politicians, by messing  up all budgets, and overspending with really futile things, such as a bigger retirement plan for themselves...or let's say our beloved Hillary Rodham Clinton which charges the secret service $10,000.00 a month to rent a house to the secret service agents, that guard her huge mansion in NY. Which coincidentaly matches her monthly mortage. Who pays the secret service? We the tax payers do!\n\nOf course the Politicians wants us to think that the illegal alliens are the root of all evil, because that takes the heat off them! This country was build on the backs of immigrants, and it's up to us to fix this mess.

No, it is completely illegal.\n\nInternational Court of Justice ruled that the wall was illegal and ordered Israel to tear it down. The Tel Aviv newspaper Haaretz, quoting court documents, reported that by a 14-1 vote the judges found the barrier, along its planned route, “gravely infringes” on the rights of Palestinians and cannot be justified by military needs or national security, and violates international law. The lone dissenter was U.S. judge Thomas Buerghenthal. \n\nhttp://www.icj-cij.org/icjwww/ipresscom/ipress2004/ipresscom2004-28_mwp_20040709.htm\n\n\nhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1258147,00.html

Last I heard there were 20,000,000 (20 million) illegals in the United States.  We never sent that many troops anywhere in all history to invade a county.  Therefore, it must be an invasion.

All Americans are not immigrants. Most Americans are born American citizens. The settlers that came over were not immigrants, they were just settlers. The American Indians were settlers too. The land that is now America was merely unclaimed land, therefore not a country at the time. The ones who claim we are all immigrants are either ignorant or trying a diversionary tactic to excuse people invading our country illegally, namely the illegal aliens.

Of course not. How could you possibly know?\n\nI know the following story: in 1962 an Algerian student in the USA was accused of "threatening behavior" against another motorist and was arrested. \n\nAs it happened, Algeria had become independent a few days earlier and his father had been named Algerian ambassador to the USA.\n\nIt took an hour or so to prove that fact, and he was released by reason of diplomatic immunity.\n\nThere are thousands of hypotheses that could make an "illegal" alien non-deportable. The most common is the Geneva Refugee Convention (1950). Only a judge can determine if an alien is deportable. You cannot.\n\nAnd read this: \n"A Border Watcher Finds Himself Under Scrutiny\n"A man who boasted of capturing 12,000 illegal immigrants faces lawsuits accusing him of harassing and unlawfully imprisoning people."\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/24/us/24border.html

The specifics are spelled out in the United States Federal Laws they say, there is only the "legal immigrant" and the "illegal aliens".  \n\nThere is no such thing as an undocumented worker or immigrant that is just in the distorted minds of illegal aliens supporters!\n \nFEDERAL LAW:\n\nThe law: US Code Title 8, Chapter 12, subchapter I section 1101 &\nsubchapter II section 1325\n\nImmigrant: an individual who has received permission to enter and\npermanently reside in the US. The written permission document issued\nby the US government to the immigrant after successfully completing\nrequired health tests, financial checks, and criminal investigations\nis called a visa.\n\n\nAlien: an individual in the US who is not a US citizen. After\nentering the US, the "immigrant" becomes an alien.\n\nIllegal alien: Anyone in the US in violation of the law. The illegal\nalien has intentionally chosen to violate the law and lacks the\nevidence VISA that they have observed all US laws in entering and\nremaining in the country.\n\nMost illegal aliens enter via the US-Mexico border, either alone or\nwith a smuggler. Other illegal aliens entered the US legally under a\nstudent, tourist or other temporary visa (promising to leave at the\nend of their "visit") and chose to remain after their visa expired.\nWhen the temporary visitor chose to "overstay" their visa, they\nbecame an illegal alien. Their original "legal" entry doesn't give\nthem upgraded status from the more common illegal border-crosser.\n\nBoth are illegal aliens, both are violating US immigration laws, and\nboth are subject to deportation.

It is interesting to me that the current protesters appear to be remarkably similar to those who protested the Vietnam war, i.e., basically uneducated, unwashed, unemployed individuals who, seemingly out of boredom, took to the streets to piss and moan about freedom for others.\n\nThey seemed to ignore that they were in a country that allowed them to do that without fear of repercussion.\n\nThey were predominately Liberal Democrats and many of them were supported by wealthy parents who failed to teach them anything other than\nhow to develop a "ME FIRST" personalty.\n\nIt generates in people who work for a living a sense of Deja Vu.\n\nMost of the Viet Nam protesters who are not still living on an inheritance are either on the dole, homeless, or working at minimum paying jobs.

They used to fly the Mexican flag in the apartments here. It was inside the metal screendoor, but it was still very visible.\n\nI came from Vietnam, but I am now an American citizen. I do not fly a Vietnamese flag; I fly the American flag. And anyone who comes here and insists upon  flying their home country's flag ought not do so. But you are asking to write it in law.\nWell, there are ways and means of dealing things without passing laws. The people themselves can make it know that they do not accept such behavior from the immigrants. Stand up for what you believe! If bullied, why not try bullying back?

This is the problem with illegal immigrant they are loyal to their country of origin and all they care about is that country. This is the reason they don't care what they do here in the USA, legal or illegal, all they know that this is not their country and they don't care. Experts say that we the American people have to wait two or three generations of their born in order for them to be loyal to the USA and that's not even guarantee. Mean while they corrupt, steal and drain our economy. You cannot served to god because when the time comes you are going to hate one of them, you have to pick who you are going to serve.Do you think that fair, I don't. I'm an American, proud and will give my life for my country. I almost did in Vietnam as a Special Forces officer.

Don't know, but they shouldn't be- citizens have a right to protect their own country, whether illegal or not!  History will prove them right and their actions will be honored at a future time.  Americans are expected to be sensitive to everyone else yet, to add insult to injury, we're supposed to submit to the ridiculous whims of others.  What justification can an illegal immigrant bring for breaking the laws of other countries.- they have none b/c they have no standing to complain.  Why don't you ask mexico why they rape and pillage their southern border yet expect us to leave our southern border open.  On top of that, they want free healthcare and complain when we suggest that thats inappropriate- the rest of the world is laughing at us.  As long as american kids are deathly afraid of rotting in a mexican jail for littering or peeing in the street, we shouldn't even grant mexico an audience!  Even worse, now they're demanding that we hand deliver Dog the Bounty Hunter to them for capturing a habitual rapist that mexico wasn't even trying to capture!  Whatever- mexico should learn its place!
