i like know to where all you people above me live because my state has been invaded ! try being hit by them and they have no car insurance  , try losing jobs to them because of evil companies ,try  going to the Dr. without insurance ,try not paying taxes, try having your social security number being used by a illegal and be told by the social security office they cant do anything about it ,try having 10 of your relatives living in a two bedroom house along with your family and see if child welfare doesn't come after you , (ok who would want too lol) try driving without a license. try having 2 million of your friends and you sneak into mexico and start making demands and see what happens ! try  owning land in mexico ! i could go on but i think you get the point !  my sisters kid was hit by a truck  full of mexicans and they drove off and left him  there, and the police said they couldn't find them and they would most likely wouldn't ever be able too. because the truck they were driving had stolen tags and they are illegal and its hard to trace people with no papers. and my sisters insurance had to pay for the hospital bill and what the insurance didn't pay she had to pay out of her own pocket.\n\nso you guys are living in some kinda lets all hold hands under the Christmas tree and sing a who ville song while you think we are the Grinch i am not against immigration just illegal immigration \n\nthese are just a few of the problems illegal immigration can cause to take in millions of people besides us and the legal immigrants without social ,economic,population  ramifications is stupid and unrealistic \n\nthey have their own land and they are protesting us thats crazy

They are not vigilantes, they are Americans trying to defend our nation because our government won't.\n\nSend money to their cause or go volunteer if you can. Also, send a brick to your congressman and urge him or her to build a wall and stop the invasion of America!\n\nAnd for those of you who think they are shooting people, educate yourselves. They are standing watch because nobody else will do it. They call the border patrol when they see an illegal alien crossing into OUR country so they can be escorted back into THEIR country.

First of all, you twit, Mexico isn't a "back door"... Now... if you look at Oregon... hundreds of miles of border... Pacific beach, and Canadian border, and ONE Border patrol officer. ONE. You are worried about Mexico??? \n\nSecond, I don't think we have to worry about the Mexicans crossing our borders WITH GUNS.\n\nMexico can't KEEP their people in their country, so I don't think they want to TRY to take over the USA, cause as you saw on the news, there are MILLIONS of MEXICANS who will NOT go back. They wanna be here? Let them fight for it.\n\nThird, yes, we are "occupying" Iraq, and Afganistan... Iraq... Well, they say we are trying to "make it better for their people"... If they want it "better" they should have to fit FOR it, like WE did 200+ years ago...\n\nAfganistan... We NEED to finish the job there.\n\nEDIT***********************\n\nRosita, who answers this question after I did, is an IDIOT.\n\nGeorge W. Bush is NOT finishing a war his father started in 1994.\n\nWTF did you come up with THAT crap???\n\nHere:\nThe First Persian Gulf War, Jan.—Feb., 1991, was an armed conflict between Iraq and a coalition of 32 nations including the United States, Britain, Egypt, France, and Saudi Arabia. It was a result of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990; Iraq then annexed Kuwait, which it had long claimed. Iraqi president Saddam Hussein declared that the invasion was a response to overproduction of oil in Kuwait, which had cost Iraq an estimated $14 billion a year when oil prices fell. Hussein also accused Kuwait of illegally pumping oil from Iraq's Rumaila oil field.\n\nThe UN Security Council called for Iraq to withdraw and subsequently embargoed most trade with Iraq. On Aug. 7, U.S. troops moved into Saudi Arabia to protect Saudi oil fields. On Nov. 29, the United Nations set Jan. 15, 1991, as the deadline for a peaceful withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait. When Saddam Hussein refused to comply, Operation Desert Storm was launched on Jan. 18, 1991, under the leadership of U.S. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf.\n\nThe U.S.-led coalition began a massive air war to destroy Iraq's forces and military and civil infrastructure. Iraq called for terrorist attacks against the coalition and launched Scud missiles at Israel (in an unsuccessful attempt to widen the war and break up the coalition) and at Saudi Arabia. The main coalition forces invaded Kuwait and S Iraq on Feb. 24 and, over the next four days, encircled and defeated the Iraqis and liberated Kuwait. When U.S. President George H. W. Bush declared a cease-fire on Feb. 28, most of the Iraqi forces in Kuwait had either surrendered or fled.\n\nAlthough the war was a decisive military victory for the coalition, Kuwait and Iraq suffered enormous property damage, and Saddam Hussein was not removed from power. In fact, Hussein was free to turn his attention to suppressing internal Shiite and Kurd revolts, which the U.S.-led coalition did not support, in part because of concerns over the possible breakup of Iraq if the revolts were successful. Coalition peace terms were agreed to by Iraq, but every effort was made by the Iraqis to frustrate implementation of the terms, particularly UN weapons inspections.\n\nIn 1993 the United States, France, and Britain launched several air and cruise-missile strikes against Iraq in response to provocations, including an alleged Iraqi plan to assassinate former President George H. W. Bush. An Iraqi troop buildup near Kuwait in 1994 led the United States to send forces to Kuwait and nearby areas. Continued resistance to weapons inspections led to bombing raids against Iraq, and trade sanctions imposed on Iraq remained in place, albeit with an emphasis on military-related goods until the second Gulf conflict.\n1991 YOU IDIOT.\n\nOh... that was probably BEFORE you were born...\n\nLet me explain, HUSSEIN attacked a neighboring PEACEFUL country, overtook it and refused to leave. The UN

that's to long they need to be voted out they are tearing our country apart by not protecting us from our Mexican invaders. Especially Edward ( I like my scotch) Kennedy.

This question is so much fun .... thank you for asking.\n\nThe federal government refuses its responsibility to defend our borders. Most state governors refuse to take action. We get the same response from city and county leaders.\n\nAnd the suggestion is to prosecute private businesses ? \n\nDid you consider jailing government employees that give social services to illegal aliens ?  Did you consider jailing school administers or hospital official for providing services to illegal aliens ?\n\nOnce again .... Government fail to perform their duties and private businesses are prosecuted. Thanks for the good laugh.

I totally agree with you!!  Why are we babysitting these illegals?  They broke the law by coming here without papers so-----once caught for anything, if someone isn't legal get them the hell out of here!  Come on!!  Mexico won't give us back their people when they murder ours because they don't want their people put into our death penalty system, but yet they think it's ok if their people break our laws and ruin our healthcare system.  Why do people expect us to cater to these individuals?  Do it legally or stay where you were born!

For one thing, the Mexican border is a lot bigger and more strongly populated than the middle of the Nevada desert.\n\nAlso, I doubt that just shooting everyone is the correct answer.

Well..... I commend our government.. Look around at other countries I mean you would be killed in some of the countries for even posting something like this. We have so many rights and take them for granted. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our troops for protecting me and my family.

Officials are not allowed to kill, except on self-defense. If an official murder someone without reason, it should be jailed. If someone tells you the army is shooting at illegal immigrants who try to cross, they are lying to you (apparently some people want to implement that in the US). Illegal immigrants are caught and deported. There is impunity and violation of human rights, including murder, but that is in violation of the mexican laws, there is no way the government or the congress have commanded to shoot people in the border.\n\nNow, the Mexico-Guatemala border ain't exactly a nice place, there are gangs, drug smugglers and corrupt officials. So, it's not surprise that there are dead people, dead innocent people. The same happens in the border of Mexico-USA.\n\nI lived in that zone a few years ago and people who tries to cross and are caught are jailed and then deported. That's what the officials are allowed to do. I never saw or heard of a "shoot'em illegals" kind of thing. That's plain BS.\n\n"If their destination is Mexico, which it never is, they would have to contend with Mexican Immigration Laws. If you are not familiar with these, here is a link."\n\nAn example of ignorance (or maybe shameless propaganda). A lot of people from central america crossed illegally to Chiapas state to work in the coffee industry for better salaries than what they had in their countries. Some others headed to Quintana Roo state to work in the tourism industry.\n\nYou can read the reports of Human Rights in the links I added below, those state what are the current situation of human rights in Mexico and what are the serious problems. It states the main issues about "law enforcement" and abuse of the authority. Any abuse (assaults, rapes and murder) in the border is considered that, an abuse.

pretty sticky area of law. i presume you are in the states, try contacting the American embassy in Mexico, and talk to someone in the legal dept, If your life is being threaten, (print it all off),there could be some action taken with the police  there,If  there is charges applied, you might have to go there and testify, this will cost you, I hope this helps out , but call the embassy any ways it cant hurt.... good luck with it  C

I am not Mexican, but my husband is and we have a house there too, I cant think of a way to be sure that he fulfills his promises, if you ask anyone in my husbands town in Tlaxcala, they will tell you that all politians lie. They have lost all hope for their government. I would suggest that people NOT let the government go back to PRI, what did they do for the people all those years that they were in office? It will take any person more than one term to fix the problems! I just worry that all this fence building is only going to seperate Mexico and America more, the tension was always there, but it is getting ridiculous!

Bravo Dave....When Mr. Reagon said those immortal words, the whole world respected our government, and what we stood for.  Now-not so much as a "security issue", but as a "political issue" our government wants to secure the Mexico/USA border.  Why has no money be allocated for a Canada/USA border?  Isn't Canada where they recently broke up a terrorists cell?

I think you are the gal having a legal mexican bf... Some of us do not forget the word illegal actually I say it and often and I do not agree on how some actions are being taken to solve this issue ,as well as on the american side as on the Mexican/ sud american side. To secure your borders is ok but the way some americans attack them and refer to them is unacceptable even those patrolling and shooting , or those who throw things to ppl while marching no matter what ppl are free to express themselves specially in USA , am I not right? You can not talk about 3er world mentallity and are just showing a bit of missinformation for you to know Mexico belongs to the 2nd world countries.Unfortunatly most of the ppl who cross are ppl who couldn´t really study much and americans do wrong by stereotyping every person cuz of a small group.Not all the ppl in USA have a first world mentallity I can tell I Live on a first world country. Anyway it is not a matter of pin pointing anyone it is a matter of making ppl understand on both sides that the best is to reach an agreement in which both sides will get benefits.

Come on these people are oppressed, downtrodden, and most have a low level of education....they are afraid.....they have corrupt officials that do not mind coming into a town and leveling it down and killing the people within who revolt against them.  Look up the state of Oaxaca Mexico to see that this is a recent happening in the news........& tell me that they haven't tried. In fact once before there was a civil uprising in which the USA took sides with the Mexican government and sent troops to reinforce that government against the people.....hence the word "Gringo"  The common people did not want our Army there who were dressed in green.   The people shouted "Green"  "Go (leave)
