I am not sure I understand you but I do not think that all citizens in the US are prejudice. I want my taxes to pay for my kids not for kids of parents who do not contribute. I want people who have been waiting out the legal process to be made citizens ahead of people who say screw the countries laws I will do as I please. I want the poor uneducated US citizen to find a job that their skills can handle. I do not hate the people coming here for trying to improve their life but I hate the attitudes and ideas that many bring with them. Our laws can not  be broken just because someone decides that the laws do not help their cause. If that were allowed then we would live in anarchy.

They didn't know?????, I'm sup rise all these people who call you ignorant in the other questions you post don't have their facts straight, that is how racism begins, people whit little information trying to debate an issue they are not prepared. \nYES!!!, USA has immigrants in their armed forces fighting dangers to keep you secure. Believe it or not you can join the army with no papers at all. But they make them legal the moment they are enrolling. This is the same for workers, being in the Army its just another job Americans don't want to do and immigrants are doing it.

some people come here legally with student visa, tourist visa. Then stay here ILLEGALLY after their visa has expire.\n\nThose who come here with student visa are smarter.

If they are here illegally then they should not stay. They broke the law.

I am sorry that some people do not understand what "illegal means. You make a great point.\n Americans are ALL immigrants from another country. When we become Americans through birth or through the proper citizenship procedures, we have the right to vote on American policies and laws (at the age of 18).\n\n The fact is, we have voted and the law is that anyone from another country can't just move here without going through the proper procedures. It is ILLEGAL to do so and that is why they are called Illegal Immigrants. It is not because everyone hates immigrants.  my father is a LEGAL immigrant, am I racist against my own father? That is ridiculous.\n  I understand that things are bad in Mexico. When my Father came here, his family(my family) was starving, too.\nNot only that but, their house was bombed when they were in it. So was the shelter they moved to. Despite all of this, they still had to wait. As a matter of fact, my Grandfather had to join the American Army, too. And he was happy to do it.\n  I have a lot of empathy for people that have things much worse than I do but, breaking the law is breaking the law.\n\nI dare any American to go to Mexico and break a law. See if they are as kind to you there as we are here. Not, likely.\nOr, go to Mexico Illegally and then try to protest. You will be spending the rest of your days in a Mexican prison.

Prejudice, stereotyping and racism are everywhere, in every country. Read the news in Germany, Australia or anywhere else and you'll find that people generally exhibit negative behavior to anyone who is different. \n\nIn this country racism has had a long history. From the treatment of the natives by the Conquistadors, to the waves of white immigrants from Europe killing off and displacing the Native Americans, to waves of Italians, Irish, Chineese and many others who have been unwelcome when they arrived. It's in our programming. It takes a sincere desire to do what is just for people to work past this conditioned response.\n\nEven people who aren't overtly racist often have suspicion towards those who are different, like a burning ember in their hearts. Given any reason the ember spings into a fire and they justify their behavior based on the most flimsy and illogical of arguements.\n\nAre they illegal -you betcha. Should they be allowed to break the laws -no. BUT if we are to cry for justice, and not be hippocrites THEN we have to deal with the whole issue. Why the heck haven't companies that knowingly recruit illegal immigrants been closed down? Its no secret. We know the big companies involved. Don't want to hurt the economy, pay higher prices or mess with your profit margins? You can't have it both ways. \n\nAnd that's the problem. Because there are huge amounts of money in play by these industries that depend on illegals, and because money equals power, the issue has not been resolved. You want the benefit of cheap illegal labor? Then they deserve some basic human rights. You don't think so? Then instead of poking at the illegal immigrants, show how serious you are by attacking the rich powerful industries that use them in court and with boycotts; tackle the officials who protect these industries when it is important to their districts, or when lobbyists offer money to sympathetic congressmen to help maintain the status quo. Why talk about illegals 'not being tough enough to stand up to their own governments and coming here to protest' when you attack illegals but don't have the nerve to stand up or pay the price for the abuses by American companies.

What part of ILLEGAL do you not understand. Legal immigrants are welcomed every day. ILLEGAL aliens go home.

They break various laws.\n\n"Any person entering the U.S. must be inspected by federal officials at his or her port of entry. Any non-citizen present in the United States who violates either of these two provisions may be subject to deportation from the U.S."

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, no, we don't want you to stay.  You do *NOT* have the same rights as Americans, just as Americans in Mexico do not have the same rights as Mexican citizens.\n\nYour "papi" may work hard to put food on the table.  But, go over to the family section of Y!Answers and find all the posts from LEGAL citizens who have been jobless for a year or more.  You don't think they are jobless has anything to do with ELEVEN MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, do you?\n\nSo, no, we can't all just get along together.  Papi needs to go back home; he needs to apply for legal immigration status and wait his turn behind the other HONEST people who have already applied for legal immigration.\n\nAnd, read again the answer of 'just a mom' ~ she is very right and it sadly is very typical.  You begin by calling legal Americans names and THEN you tell us you have the same rights and we should all just get along.  What do you think is wrong with that picture?

Do you mean immigrants in the USA?  \nIf they are here LEGALLY, they can apply for CITIZENSHIP. If they are here ILLEGALLY they need to go back home (their country of origin) and apply for a visa BEFORE entering the country.

would like to correct toddcomish=the people who don't want them enforced are 1-bleeding heart liberals who need to get their own country, and leave this one, 2-democrats who want illegals to vote for which they should be jailed for voter fraud, 3-CORRUPT businesses who should be shut down and fined with jail time. Todd, we must be specific!

the refusal to assimilate; why should we bend over backwards to accommodate foreigners? no other country does that---and the whole illegal entry factor; it's not hard to get into this country, all we ask is that you pay your money and go through the established procedures; sure that could take a while but SO WHAT! lots of people have done that for a long time and effectively earned the right to live and work here. unfortunately i have had experiences like this and it really toasts my waffle! why should citizens of this great nation have to be subjected to such frustration! i don't remember reading that amendment in the Constitution...

I speak for myself when I say that illegal is illegal - no matter where they are from.\n\nBut I think you must also understand two things on the Mexican people being "picked on":\n\n1.  The "pro-illegal" people have made them the posterchildren of the "poor illegal immigrants coming to this country for a better life for themselves and their children".  So for that, you can look in your own camp.\n\n2.  The majority of the offenders are from our southern borders.  So they are more of an offender than the other countries (combined - look at the numbers once).  So the Mexican people that are here illegally brought it all on themselves.\n\nSo I think that you really need to stop worrying about the way people think of others.  If they brought it on for themselves, then I have no sympathy for them.  Sorry if that offends you . . .  No wait, I'm not sorry.  Get over it, and realize that it isn't a race issue (Mexican isn't a race), it is a LEGAL issue.  Nothing more.

First, we need to seperate ILLEGAL immigrants and immigrants that have proper papers.  For godsake, they are violating our law and no other countries will allow that. They are telling the whole world that it's ok that they are breaking the law and can be excused because US represent freedom and they want a "better life"  Dude, give me a break.  Every citizen in US want a "better life", even Bill Gate and George Bush want a "better life" Every single human being in this world want a "better life"  Even terrorist want a "better life".  Are we going to allow member of terrorist stay in our country also. If Congress allow them to stay, we, US citizens, certainly will not have "better life".

Illegals were given amnisty some years back, by another president.  The word that most people seem to overlook or don't understand is ILLEGAL.\n\nIllegal, or unlawful, describes that which is either prohibited or not authorized by law. In general, conduct is made illegal by statute, rule, or regulation.\n\nThere are various terms used to describe a person who either enters a country illegally, or who enters legally but subsequently violates the terms of their visa, permanent resident permit or refugee permit. \n\nThe status and rights of such individuals are a controversial debate based on the economic vitality, job availability, environmental costs of illegal immigration, nationalism, racism, and moral concerns.\n\n\nPlease visit the webpages below to clarify Illegal for yourself.

Yep, I heard. These are not friendly folks by whole. They already show their contempt for our country by breaking the immigration laws. These are criminals.

This is what I'm saying. I cannot believe that our legislators are allowing these people to bully them! And the immigrants themselves,(not all, of course, but many i encounter) are angry at U.S. citizens for wanting stricter laws enforced on immigration. Do these people not realize how much we pay for when they immigrate illegally? And i don't just mean monetarily either. sheesh!
