Ita ALOT MORE THAN THAT Cherokee Rose-\n\nPAKE(Above)\n\nIllegal immigration cuts into the wages of American workers. \nAccording to Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), who is head of the \nCongressional Immigration Reform Caucus,\n \n"Massive immigration of low-skilled, low-wage workers ... \ndepresses wage rates for people who are at the low economic end of the scale. ... \nThe overall effect will be the decline of the living standard of every American, \nor most Americans."\n\nAccording to TNRIP, the financial cost of this foreign invasion to U.S. taxpayers \nis staggering! Here is a break down of the annual costs: \n\nEducation: $22.5 billion\nBi-lingual Education: $3.3 billion\nAFDC: $2.4 billion\nSSI: $2.9 billion\nSocial Security: $24.8 billion\nHousing Assistance: $2.6 billion\nCriminal Justice: $2.6 billion\nJobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion\nOther Programs: $51.4 billion\nFood Stamps: $7 billion\nHealth Care: $1.4 billion\n\n http://prisonplanet.com/articles/april2006/050406_b_Immigration.htm\n\nThis Is ECONOMIC TERRORISM\n\nYes Cherokee We SHOULD Take Pity\nFor The Taxpayers Of This Nation That Are Too BLIND To SEE What Is Happening Right Under Their Noses \nAnd Too STUPID To See What Is Being Taken Out Of Their Pockets

Don't feel bad,we have the same problem in the US,our politicians are just car salesmen that will go to the highest bidder,we now have a president that insults US citizens by telling them illegals will not get amnesty but still get the benefits of a legal citizen,he further states they will be at the back of the line yet stay in the USA,while other immigrants that have been waiting for years are not allowed to come in

by the way you worded your question it is pretty clear you are just another american only looking out for himself.what about asking what good it would do for them?mabye there need would outweigh your greedy needs.im not saying i am for immigration infact i kinda wished all the filthy immigrants would leave my country.and no i am not from usa or mexico.\nand to snathan are you so stupid that you think if they where made legal citizens in your country it would still be legal to pay them illegals wages.it would be law the got paid the same min. wage that you get at your job.if anything you should be concerned about the labour.you do you think works harder.1)Some one who came to your country just to be able to have a job and works his ass off to do it.or,2)a fat,pimply faced,lazy,potsmoking,ignorant american who would sit on his ass complaning?i realize there are still some decent people in america but look around your big cities.im not even going to get started about that, we all see what happens in your streets.

I don't care.\nIf you wan't more benefit or make more crime more than them just do it.If you want make more baby just do it.\nJust as you know to get benefit you need valid document and valid social security number.\nWhy you don't blame to them because the didn't inspect carefully?What for they get paid for ?For chat and gossip at jobs?\nAnd why you need to post this garbage?\nThis blog is for question and answer not for sarcasm and hatred.Or maybe you just want to show of how incopetent you are and let people around the world know how american full of hatred.\nEven if they deported already then who you wanna blame?Blacks or Jews or American Indian.?\nAnd do you thing we don't know about this webs.\nUseless!\nWake up!!And do something positive!Follow the rules and law other wise just shut up.

Every person for illegal immigration should be forced to compensate these innocent people who have had their social security numbers and identities stolen by these illegals who invade our country with no care who they hurt. They should have to not only compensate the money lost from their social security accounts after they are zeroed out once the fraud is detected, but every last cent the victims had to pay taking time off work, every cent that went into photocopying documentation, every cent that went towards lawyers and gas driving somewhere to get this mess taken care of, and any other financial expenditure the victim had to cough up. They should also be forced to compensate the victims for the emotional hardships endured. They should have to compensate for the money and time spent trying to straighten out their credit ratings after these illegals have ruined them. They should be forced to compensate these victims for every single hardship related to what these illegals have inflicted upon these people. Currently, the system does not provide any compensation at all and a lot of people are never restored to previctimization status. Oh but these pro-illegals claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime that hurts no one and that we are whining when we complain. \n\nYou think these illegals care that they are hurting innocent lives? Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\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

It's called 'white guilt'. Ken Hamblin, the radio personality, had a lot to say on this one, and there's a bit of truth to it...we've had decades of school teachers and politicians/other public figures who've walked around basically saying that 'whites are bad, this that, the other', and that we're supposed to pay for all this stuff for 'minorities' etc. Basically, the whole thing's a Big Shakedown. \n\nThe most racist man I've ever met in my life was big n black, and then I met his mexican cousin. Some people are assholes, got a major chip on their shoulder, and it's not the 'white man's fault.\n\nThe best fix for all of this is full, 100% border enforcement. Most of the people that come to america are doing so to seek honest work. It's those that aren't that have given everybody else a bad name, and frankly it's time to update the way the whole thing's going. I hate to throw the 9/11 card, but it has its' place in this debate, too, if ya don't know where people are from, or what they're doing in your country, how do you know they're not out there, plottin' something? We've got our own home-grown kooks, nuts, and freaks, we don't need imports...if all people were honest, hard-working(as the pro-immigration people keep trying to hype it), and good to their neighbors, there'd be no issue. Since that's not the case, there needs to be some immigration enforcement done. Balkanized communities that wall themselves in and don't speak a lick of english are unacceptable to most americans, we don't want to see mini-states that are led and funded by people from other countries, no matter how much revenue's involved. There is no payoff worthy of sacrificing That Which Is America, and americans won't stand by and see the country parceled off. If that means one less commercial food processing company, so be it. If that means your neighbor being slapped with a $500 fine for being too lazy to mow her own damn grass, so be it. The illegal alien thing needs to STOP. Mexico can tend the welfare and future of their own citizens, if they can't, for some reason, with their fairly robust economy, then they need reforms so that they CAN take care of their people. The population of Mexico is 1/3 that of the United States. They can 'si, se puede' in Mexico City, see what it gets em...

If we open our arms to all poor mexicans we are sending a message... "Please come in and exploit our country, dont worry about our laws because we dont enforce them anyway."  If this happens we will become a third world country.  You cant just take all the poor people from one country and send them here and expect them to have better lives.  Thats just picking up the problem and moving it somewhere else.

My apologies to the asker of this question.  I misunderstood your intentions and was wrong to say "You have a serious problem".  After re reading your question I see my error.  Sorry\n\nNo body is blaming EVERYTHING on immigrants, legal or illegal.  There are those who come here and take advantage of our system.  To top it off, they work under the table and make a profit without taxation and without putting anything back into the system they are bleeding dry.  This is not the fault of MEXICAN's it is the fault of every American who allows this kind of thing to happen.  Black people use the system, white people use the system, everybody uses the system.  And when someone else gets something they themselves didn't then they cry foul.\n\nPeople need to grow up.  If you don't like trash in your yard, YOU clean it up.  If someone is using the system unfairly report it.  If you are using the system unfairly then you should go to jail.\n\nNo, it's not the fault of someone of ethnicity, it's everyone who complains but does nothing about it.

yes. These illegals and their supporters are blaming Americans of all colors for their pitiful existence and using this blame as an excuse to condone and justify illegal activity.

Immigrants "in general" don't suffer from humiliation or ingnorance from Americans.\n\nEntering a country without following the legal procedures OF that country's LAWS is much more serious than throwing paper on the sidewalk or running a red light. Once a person enters the country illegally that is only the beginning of the string of OTHER laws they break. Everything they do from that day forward is ILLEGAL. They must use a fake, forged, stolen or 'rented' ID to get ANYTHING. They use those ID's to get a Drivers license, a job, housing and abuse our federal assistance by getting AFDC, food stamps, section 8 housing, social security, etc.  Those people are not 'starving', they aren't coming here to just 'feed their families'.  They have other plans and it is not so  peaceful and innocent. \n\nThe don't get respect from Americans because they ARE here illegally.\n\nThey suck up billion$ in federal aid.\n\nThey disrespect our laws and flew our flag upside down beneath theirs.\n\nThey reap what they sow.\n\nThey should be deported, ASAP!\n\nYes, we are all human and we all work and are tired at the end of the day working for our families. We are doing it the country in which we are citizens and we are paying TAXES from those paychecks to support ILLEGAL immigrants who do not pay taxes, use OUR taxpaid assistance and are NOT EVEN CITIZENS of our country.\n\nIt's not ignorance nor humiliation they get from us. \n\nIt's RESENTMENT!\n\n We resent the fact we support the illegals who are not citizens of our country, we resent the way they claim they 'do jobs Americans won't do'..for slave wages, we resent the fact that the wages of our poorest, low skilled Americans wages have been depressed to 3rd world status.

Mexicans are not being persecuted in America. Even those that are here illegaly. Although there seems to be more public sentiment against illegals here of late. I would blame that on the media or the politicians makeing an issue of it more than anything else. ive lived in Texas all my life the illegal alien thing is nothing new.there were plenty illegals here for more more than thirty years and never heard one complaint until the last few weeks when the media started blasting it out the airways. Unfortuneately Ive noticed that the media seems to have a large affect on the popular opinion here. Why they have chosen this time to make it a major issue is beyond anything i can understand.

I totally agree with you.  Although I am very much against amnesty for any illegal.  Mexican or other.  I know many Mexicans who feel the same way.  People are just ignorant and fear what they don't know.  And some people think it makes them feel superior.  Stupid aren't they?  Don't let them get to you.  That's what they want.

I feel badly that they spent money, risked their lives and came all the way to the home of the free and the brave looking for the American dream, only to be arrested for doing so. It sucks for them. It really does. However, I also fully and wholeheartedly support the efforts of the INS and any other law enforcement agency who "sweeps away" illegal immigrants. There is immigration, and ILLEGAL immigration. There is a difference. There is a reason. I support immigration. My grandparents immigrated here not only from other countries, but other continents.Legally. My wife is an immigrant. She came here legally. My best friend married a lady he met and fell in love with while on deployment. Then had to extend his tour of duty in a war zone for 2 years waiting for permission to bring her here. Legally. Channels. Law. Rules. Regulations. I broke the law once. I went to prison for 4 years. I ask no one to feel sorry for me. And I find it hard to feel sorry for those who have to pay whatever the price may be for their own crimes. In this case, the crime is the same as tresspassing. If I enter your home without permission, I'm breaking the law. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER. The only thing that saddens me, is that they were here illegally in the first place. They could have followed the rules, and lived without fear of retribution, arrest, and deportation.

This is the country of free speech. I feel sorry for the people who are trying to escape to a better place but they\nneed to do it legally. The people who are pro-illegals\nalready have it good. They live here. I say if they want to\nsupport illegals then they should whip out their wallets and let the\ngood times roll.

Aboslutely NOT!!!  It's just an excuse for the people that are already unhappy and miserable in themselves to lash out against others.  Isn't it such a shame??

It would make me happy to see one less illegal Mexican here.

Don't know, but they shouldn't be- citizens have a right to protect their own country, whether illegal or not!  History will prove them right and their actions will be honored at a future time.  Americans are expected to be sensitive to everyone else yet, to add insult to injury, we're supposed to submit to the ridiculous whims of others.  What justification can an illegal immigrant bring for breaking the laws of other countries.- they have none b/c they have no standing to complain.  Why don't you ask mexico why they rape and pillage their southern border yet expect us to leave our southern border open.  On top of that, they want free healthcare and complain when we suggest that thats inappropriate- the rest of the world is laughing at us.  As long as american kids are deathly afraid of rotting in a mexican jail for littering or peeing in the street, we shouldn't even grant mexico an audience!  Even worse, now they're demanding that we hand deliver Dog the Bounty Hunter to them for capturing a habitual rapist that mexico wasn't even trying to capture!  Whatever- mexico should learn its place!
