Trash. America is known for its problem with its waste and is polluting. I'm not one of those activist types, but 13 million tons? Come on.

To Frell with Mexico, Iraq and the rest of the world. We have our own problems in this country that aren't being addressed and people are to blind and to stupid to see it. \n\nIllegal’s are doing the jobs that we as (99.99%) Americans don't want to do. Most Americans are lazy and have no idea what a good day of hard labor is and how it makes you feel before, during, and after. I have worked the fields and know what it is like. I know where my fruit and vegetables come from and what is involved in getting them to the tables of America.\n\nWe like are fore-fathers are being tax with out representation. In state after state after state our money is being spent with nothing to show after it is spent. In Washington State, the elected governor was not allowed to take office because of the DNC bitched moaned and groaned because they didn't win and they went to court to get there losing candidate in office. When that person got in there, they raised the gas tax by 9 cents a gallon, raised vehicle tabs by instituting a weight class tax and put a tax penalty on all land subdivision under, in most counties of $20,000 per subdivision.\n\nThe National Guard, which was to take the place of the local militia and State protection, are being used for Federal use in places and ways that the regular Army is suppose to be used for. The men and women of our armed forces are acting selflessly in the support of a government and a majority of people that it is not worthy of serving.  \n\nAnd Mexico does not have as much oil as you might think. Venezuela has more oil than Mexico does. You want to go to war for oil go there. There are better technologies to run you cars and trucks with than Oil. Water for one. Electricity is another. People need to start doing for this country first and for most. Seal the boarders and start with America First.

no but we won't be talking about it after the elections because this issue which has been around since 1849 seems to come up when politicians need distractions from the real issues affecting America such as:   corporate welfare, millions of Americans uninsured, the working poor, minimum wage increases!!, war in Iraq, WMD's, Katrina, CIA leaks, diminishing civil rights, disparity between rich and poor, using God's name for political gain, and many other issues that truly affect Americans everyday..... and not this crap about illegal immigrants being the cause of all of America's problems!!!!!

America....it would definately be number 1. Why? Because we are a divided people no matter what other people from other counries believe. See, that's where the problems stands. No one sees all American people. The news only shows you what it wants to. We as a country are in big time trouble. We have a ton of issues. Until we get our voices heard as a people we will continue to have problems.

What other problems?...\n\nThe fact that we spend billions of dollars in foreign-aid while America is rotting morally and fighting among ourselves within our own borders?\n\nThe fact that the government has not clamped down on companies and businesses outsourcing their goods and jobs overseas?\n\nThe fact that we spend millions, if not billions of dollars in Social Security and welfare on individuals who refuse to work and instead rely on Government handouts?\n\nThe fact that the federal government continues to strip the powers of the American Individual, and yet ask for MORE power in the false attempt to solve the problems of society?\n\nThe fact that the Iraq War is starting to turn into Bush's version of Johnson's Vietnam War?\n\nThe fact that the USA is no longer the dominant super-power it once was, but is being bested by China, Japan, Brazil, and Finland????\n\nNo....i don't really think so.

America has real problems and yes the undocumented WORKERS had become a scapegoat to the real problems which this country is facing :\n\n- the war on iraq : a war which seems to be eternal and meaningless . it is a fact that most iraquies do not like Americans or their precense in their country , they think that the only interest of Americans is their petrolium and just feel as stuck whit Americans like Americans feel whit them .\n\n- global warming : another huge issue which has been ignore by the bush administration and in fact has been atack as a real issue when every nation on the world knows it needs to be fix and that America is the main cause of this problem \n\n- the huge debt : one of the biggest problems and the one which will have the most lasting efects in America a country which bush recieved whit a record in money ( if anyone still wants to deny this i would like to remind u this is the reason why bush started to give money to his rich friends was the record money which he recieved , money which he did not produce ) and has rapidly become just another country where the richers is richer and the poor need to do as much as they can to survive .\n\nso are the immigrants the scape goat ? once again yes they are .

I believe this all starts at home. It is we as Americans who lack the drive,responsibility,discipline and just plain lazy. The parents of the children of America find it easier to buy fast food or just flop there kids in front of the TV so they are entertained. Therefore after generations of the same actions cause this huge epidemic. Nothing will change until American parents take action and spen more quailty time with there childern.

One of the biggest problems is that according the the PEW Hispanic research center. 80% don't even want nor do they care about being an American or following the laws in this country. These are selfish people who prey off of the sweat and hard work of EVERY American both past and present.

Focus on our own problems!\n\nInstead of make every other nation think we grow money on trees by invading other Countries, or making opinions where we were not asked, or giving away money.\n\nWe should support and submit to International Laws as the Kyoto Protocol, instead of making the impression of being too good to follow.\n\nThere are far more important issues, as:\nHEALTH care, I think the USA is the ONLY developed country that doesn't provide free health care (paid by tax payers).\nPOLLUTION, our Government just don't care, is ridiculous!\nELDERLY population, some can't even afford their medicines because their pensions are to laugh about.\n\nAlso I would start a campaign where people starts referring to our Country as UNITED STATES of AMERICA, instead of just America. Remember America is a Continent.\n\nI would make every student know more about geography, history, and math.\n\nI would raise teachers and law enforcement salaries too.\n\nI would make VOTING compulsory, that way everybody takes responsibility in the base of our Democratic principles.\n\nThanks for your VOTE.  :)

What is the rest of the problem?

you could do the current issue of immigration.  There is a ton of information (and opinion pieces) out there right now because it is such a huge issue in the U.S.

I am going to totally answer your last statement. We do need to focus more on what is wrong in America first, as long as we have people living in third world conditions right here, no homes, no running water, no food. Pitiful. Did anybody catch Oprah the other day, it is horrible how some people have to live in this country, while some are filthy rich and have more than they and 30 families would ever need. Now I'm getting the heck out of here.

I agree! It seems as though things in our government have gotten out of hand. I don't know if it would take a good president or the united states keeping our noses to ourselves. Its like we are trying to fix the world and we can't even fix ourselves. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks our America is in need of dire help. Good job for speaking out.

I think that the biggest problem America has had  to overcome as a nation is racism, which is basically fear of someone different from you. And from struggling with that problem and then conquering it we have learned to be more accepting, we have learned so much about different cultures, and we have become a better nation full of diversity and open minds.  \n\nUnfortunately, I know that there are still some people out there who still can't let go of their fear and still hold on to racism and that is truly sad. \n\nI hope I helped:)
