Are U.S.A. citizens fed up with the "Po' Ol"  ILLEGAL Mexicans complaining, and calling us lazy,spoiled,
412465
When illegal immigrants (from all over the world) come here and ignore the laws of our country, it is a slap in the face to the millions of people who have done the right thing, obeyed the law and went through legal channels to obtain citizenship.  It's the right thing to do and everyone knows it.  \n\nWe also need to change the law about having a baby here and the child automatically become a citizen.  I think that is wrong.  And people use this as a loophole to get here.  No one is above the law.  \n\nIf we automatically made everyone legal who is already here, it would be like minting more money and just handing it out.  It would become useless.  (then citizenship would be meaningless)

You mention numerous good points. Truth is, illegal immigrants themselves (Mexicans or others) are not the problem. It is the failure of the American Gov. and the American peopele. The gov guys are too busy trying to get reelected and make some $$$$ for themselves and their families. The Messicans are only trying to better their lives ...a human trait.\nAmericans are all skuttling around taking care of paying their bills and making ends meet that they don't participate in the process of creating  security, and standards in gov and their lives to worry about immigration until it maybe is too late.\nHow can any of you, knowing that supposedly voting for what you believe in is going to determine your future, even in the greatest compassion for the poor illegals, condone immigration by only one group in the large, electoral modifying sizes that these people are coming into our country? I love compassion but who will weep for me when there is crime beyond our ability to control it, there is not housing or water or elec. or gasoline or? you name it ..because there are too many people. The maojority (amnystied illegal/not citizens will vote for social welfare programs to feed their families, give them health care etc. For Pete's sake ...these people aren't even citizens and they are demanding things. Wake up and take your country back. Let the gov guys know you're PO and your mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. And then do something about it. Find your own little way to boycott, to not support, to speak of your concerns to your compatriot American brothers and systers. Rise up and DO something. Think about it ...you will figure a way to play your part in protecting our country and way of life from an invasion. Forget the terroists in the Middle East. We have a much bigger problem with this issue here in this country. Just remember ...it's your brother, boyfriend, husband, father that is over in Irag possibly dieing for America and Americans. Think they want to come home to a world of poverty stricken, illegal types who speak a language other than English? By all means be compassionate with others of all races ...but get our nest in oder first ...then we can work on Mexico and other corrupt governments to take care of what is their responsiblity.

Sounds like you're pretty fed up with millions of people coming into your country illegally and taking jobs away from your fellow citizens.  Why are you so angry?  Haven't you heard they are only taking jobs no unemployed, or Mcjob employed American wants?  You must be a racist to resent this invasion of your country, helping to hold down wages, draining the social services budgets, straining the healthcare & the school systems and raising the crime rate.   \nDon't you realize that the money these illegal people send home, draining our economy, is Mexico's second largest source of national income, second only to the tourist dollars Americans spend down there.  Surely you realize that, unlike people everywhere else throughout history, these people want to stay at the bottom and have their children stay at the bottom.  They will never become dissatisfied and rebel.   No, it will be a first time ever in history that a group of people will like to have no chance to move up in a society.   Of course we OWE it to them and not to our own citizens.  Where do I go to apply for illegal immigrant status and get my free lunch, medical care, lower student costs, and a chance to get a better life?

For the life of me i can't understand what is wrong with America. I hear these idiots saying they feel sorry for the Mexicans, WHY? They get more from our government they us LEGAL AMERICANS do. They break the law, commit serious crimes and run their ass back across the border. I am not saying that legal citizens don't commit crimes but where the hell are we running to? Do the crime, do the time. Look at the gang MS13, the largest gang in the US, so lets see are they white? NO! Are they black? NO! So let me see if I get this right. they are MEXICAN? HELL YES!! They do NOT want to be a US citizen any damn way, they just want to take over. If they want to be here so damn bad then why the hell do they refuse to learn English and fly that UGLY ass Mexican flag. WAKE UP people, we are loosing our beautiful country to ILLEGAL MEXICANS!!!

yes but when our ancestors came they were pigs\nwho mercless;ly brutalized the native americans\nand they did not want pay work or to get the same beniftis as the natives\n\nwhile illegal immigrants in th us want the same respect pay and reward citizens gets\nwithout going throu  the paperwork \nor learning the language

You're absolutely correct!  Ans people fail to realize the extent to which these "illegals" make all of our lives easier. I hope they continue to boycott and protest.

I agree with you 100%! If you speak your mind , you're considered insensitive and racist! My great-grandparents came here , got a job, learned English, respected the customs and didn't ask for hand outs unlike the millions today!! It's sad really and more "real" Americans should stand up and take our country back but they won't! They just sit there and take it! I went to a immigration protest and the "illegals" out numbered us 20 to 1! Time to take it back!!

I'm sick of that race card too!!!  It's not that Americans won't do those jobs, it's just that they won't do them for as little money (which they shouldn't).  The reason that illegals work for so little is because they are illegal.  I'm sure that if you offered those jobs to homeless and unemployed Americans that they would accept.  And if they refuse to do that kind of work.... let them be homeless without any social services then.

Less fortunate? Look they come here and give so called "cheap labor", which by the way is $10-12 tax free (I don't call that cheap), then they send all that money back to Mexico where the exchange rate benifits them so they live like Kings over their shambled surroundings. What pisses me off the most is not that they came here and jumped to the front of the line of all those waiting poor and hungry to get in legally, and not that they don't pay a dime in taxes, and not that they feed off the well-fare system, and not that some of them refuse to learn English, and not that they bring their crime rate with them, but what pisses me off terribly is that they come here and demand things from OUR government like we owe them ANYTHING, and they use our humanity against us, saying we stole land from them? I'm not racist, and I'm not Anti-immigration. I'm anti-illegal immigration, and they shot themselves in the foot with the way they acted recently.\n\nContrary to belief of those who don't work construction or landscaping, Americans CAN BE hard workers. In fact I lost a tooth because two "cheap" laborers wouldn't do the work and I was working right along side of them, told them if they don't keep up with me they don't get paid. So they fought me and even though I lost a tooth, I sent one of those little F***ers running like a little girl. We do work hard and America would not be where it is today were it not for hard working citizens. If Americans are so lazy, then why is it that America is an economical giant and Mexico is still a primitive almost 3rd world country with lazy idiots that kick back and drink all day(ok that was a stereotype, sorry I probably just ruined my credibility)?\n\nAnyway don't say Amercians are spoiled. You might be spoiled, but most of us are not.\n\nHere is a better analogy: If your company was struggling to pay your paycheck, do you think you could run to another company and get them to give you full benefits and a nice paycheck without filling out an application? Hell no you wouldn't. And as for the less fortunate, if you really want to help them, go down to your local soup kitchen and cook dinner for the guys. They'll really appreciate it. Take care of people at home first, and when no American is sleeping in the cold, then we can start looking at helping foreigners.\n\nHere's something else-- Do you want another crowd of people to die senselessly a bloody and painful death? If not I would suggest  you support border control, because at anytime, one of those terrorists could come in unbeknownst to the nation by hopping the border.\n\n\n\n\nI think we've beat this issue death. None of us are listening to the opposite arguement, and it's not going anywhere. I don't know where you got the idea that there are just as many Americans working tax free. Have you ever driven by a parking lot with a bunch of Americans sitting there waiting to get work? I don't thinks so. You can't possibly live anywhere near one of the large cities where immigration is a problem. If you did you wouldn't be saying things like that, because they're just not true. I live right here in the heart of it. I live in a neighborhood, and I think that me, my next door neighbor, and one Mexican family down the street are the only legal households in the entire neighborhood. When we have problems out here, they will beg not to call the police, because they don't have papers. That means they don't work on a social security number or they wouldn't be worried about it. You don't need a social security number. The majority of them just get picked up, paid cash and dropped off. And most of them will tell you life is good back home in Mexico. I gotta give it to them for live in such tight quarters for a year at a time-\n\nAmerica has come way too far to say we're lazy, dishonest, and government dependant. That's not true at all.

Immigrants are great, but these are ILLEGAL ALIENS.  It looks to me like a great opportunity for INS to find all these lawbreakers in one place and initiate arrests.  With our being told which companies HAD to shut down completely or partially, that the Attorney General, Homeland Security, or whomever is responsible for fining companies who do hire illegal aliens, really just have a list now that they can follow. \n\nThe protest offended, but didn't really affect me, or the town in which I live.  The following things bothered me:\na.  these protests were for ILLEGAL ALIENS, NOT regular immigrants.  Their PR machine was great in blurring the lines here.\n\nb.  The Mexican flags were still very prominent.\n\nc.  I was soooo tired of seeing all the posters written in Spanish!!!!!!  And the signs that were translated to English were often very critical of this counry that they claim to love so much.\n\nd.  One of the organizers, last name Rodriguez I think, was on some TV shows the day before.  He made very negative comments about the U.S. in general.  It seemed he was leading up to the one comment that made me wonder about the REAL agenda.....he said, paraphrasing, that the southern part of the U.S. was STOLEN from Mexico, and that the people just wanted to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.  Okay, we did fight and confiscate land way back in our early history......but wasn't just about every country formed by gaining land from somebody??  \n\ne.  The whole thing would have been so much less significant, had our media simply refused to give these demonstrations wall to wall media coverage!!\n\nf.  Do these illegal aliens have the constitutional right to assemble like this?  This is just a question I wondered about.......they are not citizens.\n\ng.  IF these folks are really protesting for rights, better conditions, etc., well, I can't help but be curious as to why they don't just demonstrate in their own countries where conditions must be worse.  Couldn't they use this energy to focus on problems at home?\n\nh.  I can't help but wonder WHEN the LEGAL CITIZENS of the U.S. will step up to the plate, care enough to organize as efficiently as these folks, and take our voices and opinions to the streets, all the way to Washington D.C.\n\nWhew, got some of that off my chest!  I understand the plight of these illegal aliens, and this IS a country of immigrants, but it's also a county of laws.  What do you think would happen to us if thousands of U.S. citizens decided to sneak into Mexico, Colombia, Venzuela, Russia, China, etc., and march on their capitols & make demands for rights while waving American flags and speaking mainly English?  How about trying that in Cuba or Iran?  \n\nWelcome to all immigrants, just do it LEGALLY!  We do have a process in place for that.  Many of us feel that we and our country are being greatly disrespected by the ILLEGAL ALIENS. (I am ever so tired of the term "undocumented workers"..............does that mean that we citizens can drive around freely with no drivers' licenses, and simply be "undocumented drivers"?  Political correctness can get way out of hand.\n\nI just about forgot one other thing that burns me, and that's the so-called Spanish version of our National Anthem!  This is not a translation, the lyrics are totally different.  This is the United States.  We speak English.  A common language is necessary for assimilation.  And our National Anthem should be sung in English!  What's next, translating our Constitution, the Pledge of Allegience, etc??

I AGREE!  I'M SO SICK OF PEOPLE CALLING THE AMERICANS ILLEGALS TOO....NO WE ARE NOT...WE WERE BORN HERE.

You have made a point, although in a very insulting way.\n\nDifferent people are mad for different reasons:  \nI, personaly, am not scared of the hard working illegal who sneaks across the border.  It's the drug dealers, criminals, etc, that slip in along with you.  We need to seal the border & reform immigration law so we can let the good, hard-working people in, & keep the scum out. (we have enough scum of our own - we don't need more)\nI am also concerned with those who don't learn Engish.  I think everyone should learn a second language, but that includes immigrants (illegal or otherwise).  Learn English!\n\nBut there are people who feel threatened by people who actually have a healthy work ethic as well as those who just don't want any more "beaners" in America.  Please don't lump me with either of those groups.\n\nOne illegal alien in particular was a salvation for my boyfriend's family. His mother had a stroke & needed full-time live in care. The only Americans he could afford would quite after one week, sometimes just leaving without telling anyone leaving his mother alone for hours.  She could have had an episode & died!  One lady actually stole all the jewelry, including her wedding ring, before leaving.\nIn desparation, he finally found someone who had a cousin here illegally who was willing to do the job.  She became part of the family.  After 10 years of excellent care, his mother died.  That was 2 years ago, & we still consider her family.  She usually spends Christmas with us.

Funny it is all us "lazy Americans" that did all those jobs before! Hmm yea I beleive its all the LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and born Americans that created this "land of Milk and honey" that the illegals run to. \n\nBush has made sure our economy has stayed rock bottom , media lies about new jobs being created when they are merely seasonal jobs or fast food. Starve them and they will come, is and has been his tactic. So our young people are forced to join the military to fight this b.s. war and run our countries debt up more. Were else will they work? \n\nTHERE ARE NO JOBS! Illegal immagrants around here are working at Taco Bell! Gas stations, Wendy's, road construction, housing construction, cleaning services, day care! We cant get government aid for ourselves and our children when we can not find any work. We can not even get a Taco Bell job now! I have dozens of friends who have built houses all over this state all their lives, and now are lucky to work one or two months a year cause illegals have their jobs. Was it because they didn't want them? NO, as a matter of fact no one even waited to ask them if they did or not. They show up for work after the ground thraws and are told to go home. And yes for the sake our kids we would work it!!! And have been for years. The truth of the matter is there are large numbers of Americans in their 30's and 40's with hs diplomia's and many with college that cannot find work now. Job statistics are and have been manipulated (lied) about for some time.\n\nThe Illegals do not come into this country and stay on the tomatoe farms... They run to any employer who will take them, and send there women to the welfare office for government aid. Destroy a large percentage of rental properties, Sell some mexican swag on the side and do not go home after harvest time in most situations. Why should they? We hand them the keys to the city! \n\nWe spend billions on medical care, food, housing, prisons. They send all their money back to Mexico. Lower our wages and work standards and are now filling job slots we Americans need, now that all American jobs worth a damn are now "outsourced" or "sized down". How can you use someone who illegaly came over here knowing all this? They arent forced to illegaly jump our boarders and come here to work. Hell they can grow tomatoes in mexico too. And do! Most of our winter produce is now Mexican grown in Mexico. Hell they now have handbooks on how to survive in America now, it's printed by the Mexican government. Very few of their employers legally withhold taxes or SS. Most are contractor type jobs. And it's time a few of you get your heads out of the clouds, cause this whole situation has been corrupt for some time. We don't abuse and use them, corrupt employers might. The illegals think what they are being offered is great! And that is why the employers also need to be punished and fined. \n\nThey come here Illegally and expect we owe them food stamps and medical care! Do we get this when visiting their countries? Hell no! Everywhere the American goes now we have "sucker" on our forheads. We can pay for it all! Lower their import taxes into our country or remove them all together. Send them food that our government won't even give to our poor, send them weapons and training. Yea we can do it all ! Now they have the nerve to march in our streets with their country's flags! Demanding they have rights here and the right to come here by whatever means they choose and act as they choose. The problem has been let to go on so long, and catered to for so long they now seem to think they are intitialed to EVERYTHING WE HAVE INCLUDING PRESSURING OUR POLITICIANS! When was the last time you picked up a product or a set of instructions without having to search for the English text? \n\nIs this just directed towards Mexicans? NO, but what other country is flooding our boarders illegally and now marc

Whatever you racist panama chick! (Arrogant, too. To think of yourself as so Chula!) Don't generalize about white people...that's called racist!\n\nThe number one thing that pisses me off on this issue is that they are here illegally, but to call them illegal aliens is not politically correct, so we have to call them undocumented. ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL! \n\nThe second thing that pisses me off is that anytime a citizen who happens not to be hispanic calls for our borders to be secure and keep illegals out, we are called racist! I'm not racist...my husband was born in Mexico, our children are now a mixed breed...and I don't know of any White Supremicist that wouldn't beat me over that fact alone.\n\nThirdly, we are told that they are only here to do the jobs that no one else would do. THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE!!! My father was put out of business by them!!!! He was a private contractor/painter. They charge so little for their spray paint jobs on people's homes, they have no liscence to do contractor work and no insurance and pay no business or income taxes...their costs are lower because of these things. And do any of you know any high school students who would like a weekend/evening job but can't get one at McDonald's, etc? I do! And many other places that would have hired them in the past just don't, because they can hire undocumented ILLEGAL workers. And let's not forget that they don't come here alone...or if they do, they soon send for their family...wife and 4 or 5 or 6 kids...or maybe they just bring 2 and have the other 3 or 4 here on TAXPAYER MONEY!!!! And then we have to provide healthcare and education to them!!!!\n\nAnother thing that really pisses me off is OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS acting like these ILLEGALS are their concern insead of being concerned about middle class America...who are the ones who suffer from these people being here. At the protest downtown....MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA betrayed the city that just elected him by speaking to the crowd as if they were heroes instead of LAWBREAKERS!!! And Calif. Assemblyman FABIAN NUNEZ was right in there, too! Speaking so proudly that he was going to represent these people....THEY ARE NOT HERE LEGALLY. THEY ARE CRIMINALS. THEY ARE DEAD WEIGHT!\n\nI DO NOT NEED THEM! I mow my own grass, take care of my own kids, clean my own house, cook my own food, wash my own car, paint my own house. Don't claim that white people are the only ones complaining when they are the ones hiring them. I'm white and I'm not hiring them. I'm not benefiting from them. The only people benefiting are business owners - many of which are not white, the rich moviestars and CEO's who can afford them as nannies and gardeners and can afford to go to the car wash and out to dinner, and the rest of us have to suffer living among them and sending our kids to overcrowded failing schools!\n\nGo Ahead, call me racist...I know you want to.

They are lame excuses that pro illegal immigrant supporters have. I always wonder if they have toilets in Mexico or any other country for the pro illegal supporters to be using that as a definitive response. Do they not have lawns, restaurants or toilets? Why can't Mexico and other countries improve their economy for its people? It is not hard to clean up after yourself, so those responses are, well, dumb.
