No, Hispanics are not keeping the USA from collapse.~~yawn~~\nWe won't collapse regardless. You have no strength. If you did you'd be in Mexico fighting for your rights THERE, protesting THAT government to stop their corruption. You would unite with other Latinos that support you, go to Mexico City, MX and change your country so you could be proud, but alas, you have no noble attributes. You had rather come into the USA illegally and freeload off of us. Predictions have already been made about how much your little crybaby protest will cost the USA. It will be a mere $1 million dollars which is nothing when compared to what it would take to collapse our economy. You Latinos have been slowly putting nails into your own coffin. May 1st I will watch your funerals on t.v.

Correct on EVERY thing you have said....Nice job sassy. Not to mention..It is being said that prices of goods and services would be on the rise when we deport the "illegals" from our land. If this is the case..why haven't prices gone down as a result of there illegal employment?

Earnings growth is declining, except that is, for the city bankers who are expecting bonus growth this year of 25%.\n\nThe influx of migrants from the Eastern European states is having it"s effect. They are prepared to work for a lower wage and this has a "knock on" effect. They are also prepared to sleep 3/4 to a room in cheap bed & breakfasts.\n\nInflation is at 2.5%, which is 0.5% above the target, so gordon will try to keep wage demands as low as possible.\n\nIt would be nice if, Gas - Electricity - Council Tax,etc. only increased by 2.5%, but no, these charges have gone through the roof.\n\nI read a report about a month ago, that Gas was so plentyful, that the importers were "paying" the distributors to take it off their hands. Did prices come down? Not on your life.\n\nAnyway, back to the subject, I think we should do as other countries are doing, and restrict the number of immigrant to fill only the jobs that are vacant.\n\nYou won"t get a job in America unless it can"t be filled by an American citizen. We should have a similar scheme.\n\nPut the onnus on employers to "prove" that they have tried everything possible to fill the vacancy using the indiginous population.\n\nWages going down, bills going up, more and more people getting into debt. It"s all going to explode soon.

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.

I think Americans are getting tired of the Mexican ILLEGAL invasion in our country.  It has put a huge burden on our economy, our schools and health care system.  ILLEGALS are not friendly at all and cannot even speak English.  They tend to cram 3 and 4 families in one apartment.  Americans can't get jobs in Mexican neighborhoods unless they speak Spanish.  Most of their money gets sent back to Mexico and I think they should be sent back also.

I am glad to have foreigners in my country because they are cheap labor. How many white men do you know that would work for less than 5 dollars an hour in a field under the scourching sun while crop planes drop insecticides on them while they are picking the fruits and vegetables that we eat that we pay hardly anything for. If there were no immigrants our produce and so many other things that we use and eat daily and take for granted would not be accesible because the costs would be to high. So whoever said that immigrants come and take the white mans jobs, you are full of it. They take the jobs that nobody wants, such as housekeepers, field workers, janitors, and so on, I hope that you get the point. For those that live in the U.S. remember 90% of us are descended from immigrants. Mexico is part of America, they are just South America. they did not have to take a boat to get to the America's, they were already here. If you actually look at the statistics most people that are on welfare are white women, not mexicans. I have met plenty of hispanic immigrants that are in the process of learning  English, believe me people it does not take over night to learn a language. Americans are very ignorant and stupid when it comes to things like this. How many of you actually learned a new language before visiting another country? Some of these immigrants really are here on a short term basis, they are here to make money to take back to their families. Just like any American that works or tries a new investment, all you are trying to do is support your family. Be respectful of other people, remember One Nation Under God, it is not very christian to be so ignorant.......

Life would go on... I don't think America is going to fall apart without any one minority (not that I have anything against Hispanics, or minorities in general)... I suspect this is in response to 'what would happen if illegal immigrants get mad and leave the USA.  This seems to be the line the media is running with these days, but the mass protests on May 1st didn't affect the economy in any substantial manner (the 10cent hike in gas prices has done far more than they could hope to do), heck it even made my day better, since a segment of the population wasted their time making fools of themselves protesting in the streets instead of impeding traffic on the interstate...

Ah, but I think you do get it.  As an American, I can tell you that these people are completely full of it.\n\nAs far as I'm concerned, all the Mexicans that want to, can come on up.  You're invited, by me.\n\nNever mind the ingrates that think illigals are a drain on our economy.  There would be no produce on our shelves with out them.  Americans are too lazy to go out and pick produce.  These are the morons that think Mexicans are ruining our economy and at the same time, they suppor the debt that George Bush has put us into, that our childrens children will be paying off for the next century.  \n\nPeople suggest they fix the problems in their own country, when infact we are the enablers of their poor economy when we pay their workers 85 cents an hour to make our SUV's.\n\nPeople can deny all they want, the fact is, it's racism.

We're not trying to end immigration...just illegal immigration. And once all of the current illegal immigrants are made legal...let's not kid our selves...that's where we're heading...they're going to want to stop other people from coming here illegally, because they'll see that their newly found validity affords them rights and a more decent pay, but that they are going to be competing with those coming behind them that will be willing to work for less. It's a never ending cycle, folks...where WILL we draw the line?

The approximately 40 million illegal immigrants in this country definitely hurt the economy.  \n\nThey took away a lot of jobs like roofing and construction jobs from the American people.  You used to see two white or black men putting on the roof.  Now you see 14 illegal aliens on a roof - all making below minimum wage.\n\nAnd most of their money gets sent back to Mexico.  That hurts the economy also.\n\nIllegals have put a real stand still on health care for millions of Americans.  I had cervical cancer while I lived in South Texas.  The doctor's office gave me an "emergency" appointment for 6 months away.  They couldn't see or treat me and the entire building was filled with illegal aliens and their 8 to 10 children. And of course the mothers were all pregnant.\n\nWell, I took my belongings in a bag and took the Greyhound bus to West Tennessee to live our the rest of my life.  They gave me surgery immediately and today I am cancer free.\n\nI would have died if I remained in South Texas.....)(

I think it is a little extreme, but I can understand the frustration.  Here in Texas, I get annoyed when people of Hispanic origin refuse to learn English, and our society and government enables them to do this by not requiring immigrants to learn english, and even forcing government employees to speak spanish.  Also, our local and national businesses learn spanish to accomodate those who do not speak our language.\n\nI am all for immigration....that is what the makes the U.S. An intresting place to live, but I doubt that if I moved to Mexico or Spain or any other spanish speaking country, that they would learn english to accomadate me.  I understand why they would not....pride in their culture...we have the same and would appreciate immigrants having enough respect to learn it.  After all, it is free from our government.  \n\nSo, I guess my final thought on your question is that I agree that it is a little extreme to forbid it, but at the same time, I see why and understand the reason.\n\nTake care and God bless.

I am hispanic, and I implore you to cast aside any idea that we should give amensty to ANY illegal immigrant.  We must stay true to the ideal of rule of law and fairness, and 20 million illegal immigrants have turned their back on that ideal.  They should not be rewarded.

Your right we mexicans are very united and we believe in family. We will work as hard as possible to abe able to give our families a better life. I see it every day when American decide to kick out there 18 year old or I also see American divorced parents who either mom or dad do not want to help support there own children. I see more homeless white folks then anything else. In California I do not see a mexican begging for money why because me have to much pride for that. Our saying is We will rather die on our feet then live our lives on our knees. Please give respect to the people who are making your economy stronger. As for people who say that the dont pay taxes. Well guess what i work in a tax office and there are ways they do it. The apply for EIN but they are never able to receive disabilty, social secuirty or unemployment. They don't complain. If we do send illegals back then you american will be paying $75.00 for a bag of tomatoes.

The economy in this country is already horrible. It's going to keep getting worse. The politicians don't care because they will keep benefitting from the situation while more Americans plummit into poverty. There will be millions more homeless people and those who are wealthy will continue to say it's the poor's fault, spouting the usual lies.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.\n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.\n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

No you cannot put an end to any of it. I work for the state and I volunteer at food pantrys and I have seen with my own eyes that Hispanics get more medical, welfare and free food than any other nationality. Meanwhile they are driving Hummers, Escalades, Ford F150's and Dodge Rams, Their children run around the office I work in watching television on the cell phones. Now do not tell me that illegals do not get aid and do not tell me they pay taxes. The legal immigrants do but not the illegals. In my office we had two American college girls come in for assistance and they were turned away. They did not want foodstamps, welfare or anything for free, they were there for medical reasons and they were denied help. No in the good ole USA you must be a Hispanic female not in school having baby after baby and getting state assistance. While your husband is out undercutting an American out of a job.

Well it's pretty simple but clearly you are just an ignorant ass. Let me ask you one question. Are you a Native American? \n\nThey are probably here for the same reasons your family came to be here persecution, hardships, a shot at giving themselves and their families a better life. Do you realize the chances and danger they face trying to get into our country? This should be a complement to all of us. We have such a wonderful country that people are willing to take incredible risks just to be here. Should we punish people for wanting a better life?\n\nI will also say I am a car salesman. Let me tell you I'm all for them getting Social Security cards. Most of the Hispanic people (I'm assuming this is what you are targeting) I have met in through the business work very hard and long hours so they can provide for their family. Most have at least Tax ID's so that means we are collecting tax's from them so why not allow them the rights and freedoms we enjoy. It's a shame that I cannot sell them vehicles because they do not have SS cards. Also I have several banks that will only loan money to Hispanic people. Do you know why? They do so because the Hispanic community has a much better rate of paying their bills unlike most of the "Americans".\n\nI have one final question for you. If we didn't allow anyone into our country how would that benefit you?

I definitely think you are right on track.  Latinos are definitely defiant.  Streets in the United States are becoming more and more filled with garbage because of the growing Latin community.  I am originally from El Salvador, but my wife and I share your views.  We are not getting enough respect from the Americans because we are NOT AT ALL respecting American Laws.  And it has to do a lot with education.  Maybe the MASSES of latinos living in the United States are mostly uneducated classes looking to enhance their income and actually fleeing their countries.  That makes for a big chunk of people looking very bad in the eyes of the public.
