First if you don't want people to correct your spelling well then its simple DON'T MISSPELL.\nSecond why do people think that the only illegals are "illegal Mexican" how about the illegal people from China, Italy, Korea, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Spain, India, Japan and all of the rest i forgot to mention.\nFinally what was your question?

do you think Mexicans are the only illegals in the US?  Illegals use Mexico to cross the boarder - including Russians, Salvadorians, Guatemalans and many others.  What about the Asians which arrive in shipping containers and hide out in the Chinatown's all over the country?\nWouldn't it be better to track those within the country and have them come in legally?\nDidn't you hear what happened to Walmart who hired a cleaning company who hired illegals?  We all benefit from having illegals - how do you think you get your cheap produce?

I think it showed that they have no allegience to the US, or else they would not intentionally try to harm the economy.  However, I don't think they did...and this business about protesting until the government gives them their way...sounds like a temper tantrum to me..and one that needs to be stopped.  And this does not make me racist...it makes me sensible..illegal is illegal, period.  And to the people who are going to talk about the laws 200 years ago...times have changed, laws have changed.. Check out citizenship laws in Mexico...they don't allow illegal immigrants, much less give them drivers lisences, translate all into a foreign language for their convenience, or allow them to protest.

The whole land of the free thing comes into play. I read an article in USA today this year that stated how many millions of dollars are earned by legal and illegal immigrants and shipped back to there home country to support their famalies. Not even there illegal income is being recycled back into our economy. I am a strong democrat and have strong beliefs on this issue. My daughter is in fourth grade and has to listen to her teacher teach a lesson in both english and spanish. This is distracting to other students and not fair to our already underpayed teachers. It takes away from what we as legal US Citizens pay for. A wall is a good idea, but they will probably find a way over it. Illegal should be against the law and we shouldn't waste our tax dollars taking care of them in jail when they get picked up. I think they should be deported too thier own country at their own expense or to the expense of their country. If the Coutries of origin start getting hit in the pocket book. They will tighten up on their own borders and maybe between the wall and monetary fining it might slow down illegal immigrants. I could go on forever. But I agree with you and probably 50 percent of the rest of the US population. Not to mention the jobs they take because 10 illegals will do the work of one man in a fraction of the time for the same pay or less. Fines for employers and stiff fines should be implemented. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!! okay have to stop now.

in favor of the "good" immigrants legal or illegal.  you will notice i mentioned illegal also.  my logic behind this is...i believe that there are illegal immigrants out there who truly appreciates being here, are thankful that they are here, and really trying their best to contribute to our society and economy but are unfortunate that they do not have a way to get legalized.  many people do not understand how difficult it is for an immigrant to get a permanent residency in the US if no one would sponsor them i.e. immediate family = US citizen parents or children.  also, i'm sure all of us at one point in our lives...an illegal has helped in some way, maybe the doctor who saved your loved one is an illegal immigrant, or the caregiver of your grandparents are illegal.  however the illegals who commit crimes like murder, stealing, vandalizing, gang violence...those people are simply bad news.  so i'm in favor of good immigrants, legal or illegal...key word GOOD.

This is all trash to get the focus on illegal immigrants. The economy is going to hell because of a trillion dollar deficit from the pointless war and that is incomparable compared to the millions illegals mooch off the health care system.\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nThe rate of illegal immigration has not changed, yet all the stories suddenly switched to illegal immigrant problems in the news. This is a political switch for when blame time comes and the economy is doing horrible, people will blame immigrants instead of the massive accumulated debt killing our soldiers to protect some random countries oil for exxon.\n\n\n\nillegals work cheap. The companies get more profits. The companies have to pay more taxes. Taxes pays the illegals healthcare. Blame the companies that employ them cheap if you have a problem with that and demand they give them healthcare like any citizen. Right now they work for slave labor prices and get hurt, just like anyone else. They want to have kids and a family. They're humans, and do their best to provide.\n\n\nThe fence will be the largest most vandalized project ever and a waste of tax money. Immigrants what a better life forever. Fences won't stop them.

So, the immigrants that started the United States were legal, eh?  Guess again.  The British government declared many of their actions illegal.  Since they were British citizens. this makes them illegal as well.  Also, if we deport all of the illegal immigrants, how do you think our economy will fare?  Do you really think that citizens will take the jobs that the illegal aliens have?  There is no way.  Also, almost all, if not all of the people participating in the petitions were naturalized citizens.

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 and I do not support freebies for illegals.  Maybe one day when I can use the government services that 33% of my income is taken for I'll have a different opinion.  Until then they need to stand in line like everyone else and wait their turn.  I wonder why so many people feel that Mexicans have the right to ignore our laws while Africans who are living in far worse conditions have to wait.  I'd rather have someone here who actually respects this country and its laws.  The Mexicans have proved that they do neither.

Absolutely NO!  \n\nI posted a question earlier asking anybody to give a benefit of illegal aliens being in the US. I did not receive one.\n\nThey HURT our economy in so many ways. Some examples? You got it!\n\nThey send a large percentage of their earnings back to their home country. (The money doesn't stay in the US)\n\nThey work for less money for unethical employers. The unethical employers can then sell their product for less which severely hurts the honest companies that hire legal workers.\n\nLoOK at all of our high school students protesting to allow illegals. The illegals are already brainwashing our children to think it's ok to disobey federal laws!  What else do you think they're teaching our kids?\n\nIf an illegal breaks the law to enter our country so he can work for less than minimum wage, what would he do for $5,000 or more?  Terrorism? Smuggling? Drug dealing? Treason?\n\nNO.  Illegals aliens should not be welcomed!  They hurt our economy. They take jobs from our children, our homeless, our unemployed.  They add absolutely nothing to our society. They have nothing to teach our children, they don't add to our culture. They have nothing to add to our communities.

H-LL NO, They broke the law coming here illegally....If they came here legal I would offer help...\nThe illegals work, don't pay taxes, or support the country, their money goes back to Mexico....some FAMILIES I am already supporting on welfare, (so they can send the money they make back to Mexico)... I don't want them in my house too....If they are here legal, I would offer to help them get on their feet......Some people say we need them, that is an excuse, we have to many homeless, jobless people here that are AMERICAN, most would do any kind of work to improve their lives & get food in their bellies....I would not help any ILLEGAL people, I have & will help the hungry & donate to homeless shelters...people say this country was founded by immigrants, LEGAL ONE'S.......Peace & God Bless

EDIT TO JD 8:11 PM.....UNinformed possibly...I don't claim to know everything as YOU do in ALL your posts.  Unpatriotic..a little...we Desert Storm Vets are kinda getting the shaft....BUT...you didn't address my questions did you.  You didn't clarify the need to downgrade Mexicans, call THEM OUT as a race...and not mention any others.  Oh and I refuse to look at your BLOG...UGH...that would be continuing YOUR ignorance....WOW....I probably made a 100 people go to it.  Fight the good fight JD...our soldiers are overseas.....the welfare system is full of 2nd and 3d generation losers and I feel that both of those problems are worth addressing IMMEDIATELY....but that is just my opinion and I don't have a BLOG.\n\n\n\nI find you boring and annoying.  Here is why.....illegal immigration has been an issue for years....decades even.  Every time you post you are so up in arms and ready to protest and march and do whatever people like you do.\n\nAND JD....when I say ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION I mean ALL illegal immigrants not just the Mexicans you love to talk about and bash.  \n\nWHY....please tell me why...if this is not a race fight for you EVERY TIME YOU ANSWER A QUESTION it refers back to "those Mexicans".  \n\nAND WHY PLEASE TELL me why if this is such a HUGE issue for you....why are you posting on YAHOO Answers and not knocking down doors and handing out pamphlets.  \n\nThere are so many illegal immigrants in the US right now I would be typing for perhaps the next 30 minutes to name them all....BUT....not you.....you can type nothing but\nMEXICAN.....hmmmm....sounds a little ummm....race related to me.\n\nOh and again if this was just about ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION as you point out SO MUCH in your demeaning taunts to others....why the name calling and Mexican innuendo.  Why not an Irish joke or a Haitian joke or perhaps a Canadian joke.  Hmmmmmm sounds a little race related to me.\n\nAND finally JD.....as I continually post to your friend and cohort Cherokee Rose.....You do realize that we HUGE problems right here in the good OLE USA that need strong, opinionated people such as yourself.....why don't we try to fix what is broke here....and then work on the leak you are trying to plug up with hatred.

yes it does.... when ever money is being spent it helps the economy.  I don't agree with illegal aliens working here but it still doesn't change the fact that it does help the economy..........
