Do you think that Illegal Aliens should come into the United States and demand rights?

Seriously NO.. It is wrong they come into this country and get on welfare which takes away from American people. Why should we pay for Illigal imagrants with our tax money to live here? We need to take care of ourt own not fork over money to people who are not even supose to be here. If you want to come into a country you should not take from that country so you can live there. AND FOR GOD SAKE LEARN ENGLISH. Don't come here and expect us to learn your language..

To come here ILLEGALLY and then make demands is utterly presumptuous, especially if no attempt is being made to acclimate into our existing culture.   Would you expect anything OTHER than a backlash to that?  How rude!

I think that it's wrong because they entered our country illegally and they are using our tax dollars to fund their health care and various other charities. They enter our country illegally which is a crime and then they expect Americans to open our arms and welcome them. I have heard that this movement is similar to the ones that they had in the 1960's, wrong! In the 1960's the Black AMERICANS were protesting for equal rights that they deserved. The black AMERICANS were being discriminated against in their own country--they were born here and they deserved to be treated as fairly as any other AMERICAN. I am not a predijiuce person, I believe that everyone who wants to APPLY to become an American citizen has that right, however, I do not believe that it is fair to the people who are applying and waiting patiently to come to this great country of ours to see that all they have to do is enter illegally and they are home free. We are very blessed to be natural born citizens and while we do have our problems it is still the best country in the world! Could you imagine if this protesting of illegals was occuring in other countries, it would not happen because it would not be tolerated and the people involved would be severly punished. And as for the people who are sponsoring these protest--have they lost their minds!! AGAIN, these people entered our country ILLEGALY, I just don't get it, and for the people sponsoring these protests they are self proclaiming themselves as being like Dr. Martin Luther King. What a joke! What frightens me is that just by sheer numbers they might actually make it happen. This government needs to wake up and do something about this prevelant problem before it gets out of hand and our borders will be nothing but 'free for alls'. As for the saying that this country was born on the backs of immigrants, I agree, however, you need to come here LEGALLY as many millions in the past has done.

I agree, illegal is the word, if they are here illegally they need to go back to their home country's and try to get here legally. We should have no tolerance for people that think that our laws do not count. There are many hard working people that want to come to the United States that are doing it the right way, and they should be honored.

No, we should not ignore this. I do believe that everyone has a right to come to this country to make a better life for themselves, but I believe that you should have to earn this right. Living with the rights that we do have is a privilege.

It is a very touchy subject because yes they shouldn't be allowed to come over and be over here illegally, but at the same time them being illegal doesn't mean that they should be allowed to be taken advantage of and exploited by greedy business owners.  And for the "the U.S. used to be Mexico" argument, that is lame because almost every piece of land was at one time owned by different peoples, we took it just as people have been taking land since the beginning of time.

No, no, and of course not. Illegal aliens are here by choice and they need to fight for their civil rights in their home countries. It also does not make you racist in any way to oppose invasion of your country, no matter what color you are or what color the invaders are.

They have a right to leave and come here legally.  Illegals appear to have more rights and privileges than American citizens.

i agree with you. My husband came in LEGALLY (he's from australia) and hasn't been treated very fairly..and hasn't been given a chance..YET..the stinking border jumpers get handed everything on a silver plater. it's just not right!!\n\nJake..thats not really the answer either..people who come in LEGALLY should be given first rights..after american citizens..not these illegals coming in now.

glad you ask me that i think they should secure the border  first and deport all who are here illegal that have broke the laws of the land hell am not getting a free ride .have no problem if they come here legal and don't break our laws .but dam something have to be done about 10 millions peoples coming in .  the schools are over crowded/they have no health care. it go higher/ they don't speak any English.they get here and break all the locals law also /hospital are always full that a problem it just crazy .this is not a race thing god know we are all Americans.it about the sovereignty of this country.

Yes I would. My grandparents came here legally back in the 50's and earned their rights to be called American. They didn't get welfare from the government. They worked hard to get everything they wanted. I would be at the border with my weapon ready to use it. I say have all the illegals build a wall across the southwestern US then deport them when finished.

I LOVE IT!\n\nWTF. (if someone reports me, you're a dumbass, because this is an opinion, and im not threatening anyone.)\n\nMexicans come to United States. Steal our jobs, bring crime, and end up in our jails. 400 illegals were taken off the street in a recent operation. We pay for jails through taxes. Jails must board and feed immates, so that's our money. They also take our school districts for granite. We pay for schools. We pay for public health, which some take that away. Sure America maybe the "promise" land, but only for the legal aliens.\n\nIf your direction to this comment is about illegal aliens, than I strongly back it. If tis about legal aliens, I firmly disapprove of it.

Of course.  A legal has every right and we should support them.\nAn illegal is a criminal by definition.  Go through the process of becoming legitimate or don't come to the U.S.\nGiven the sheer numbers of illegals, it would be impossible to deport them all, but they should pay a fine for breaking the law of the land and they should go through the process of becoming legal.  It would take a line of buses from San Diego to Alaska to haul them all out at onece.  Its just not realistic to ship them all out.  Also, given how involved they are in our economy, our economic system would suffer and be threatened with collapse if that many people were suddenly jerked out of it.

i think he should let them be.  how did we all get in.  those nations that first came to america didn't have any paperwork.  this is the land of the free, including the free to enter.  everyone should be able to do as they please, within reason.

NO!!! What makes you think that Mexicans want to be colonized by the US??\nI am a Mexican and really, I don't want Mexico to be part of the US. The fact that some Mexicans come to the US for better oportunities does NOT mean that ALL MEXICANS want to be in the US, nor that Mexicans want to loose their own identity and country for an extra couple of bucks. \nImmigration is a very complex issue and as you may nottice most of the immigrants keep their own culture and remain loyal to their countries of origin. \nIf the US tried to just take over Mexico there would be a war, I'm not saying Mexico would win but we will not go without a fight!

I agree that they should be.   I think its a double standard to even propose giving all of these ILLEGAL immigrants amnesty and let them stay.  Don't get me wrong, I am NOT against immigration, I know our country is founded on that.  However, if we just say , OK forget that you broke the law, you can stay anyway, what does that say to the thousands who came here legally - "You're an idiot for doing it the right way" \n\nCrime is crime. Illegal aliens are criminals and if we are going to give them a pass, why not let all the drug dealers and theives and murderers, etc go free too?\n\nI say round up the illegals and send em back to where they came from!

I believe that the illegal immigrants that are already here, should have the right to become citizens.  I have recently just got back from Mexico by myself because my husband was not granted his Visa.  It is really bad when people live the right way and pay taxes are punished because they have been in the United States for more than a year.  It is not right to sent all the illegal immigrants back to Mexico just because you think they have no rights.  The Mexicans just come here to better their life for thier famileis.  I have been married for 4 years and have 2 children with my husband.  He is now in Mexico and we have to wait untill he gets a waiver to come back the right way.  He has been here since he was 16 and has no life in Mexico.  His life is here with me and our children.
