Did you know that one of the diseases that Illegals are bringing into this country...?

Again we are stereotyping the illegal alien.  Are we to believe that no one coming to this country by legal means will never someday have TB?  We even have citizens that have come down with this disease.  I take the issue of Illegal Immigration very seriously, yet most of my answers on this forum about this issue have left me defending those who are being persecuted by those asking questions the way they ask them.  There is no single group that holds exclusivity to being responsible for being the Illegal Immigrants in this country.  We tend to blame Mexicans, however every country South of the U.S. and Mexican border are basically 100% hispanic and all except for Brazil speak some form of Spanish or another so yes many of the Illegal Aliens come from our hemisphere as it is close for them to do so, however we have illegal aliens from every country in the world living and working here.  There are a lot of good reasons for not wanting undocumented people in your country and health concerns are among them, but do not go at this issue from a biased direction because it is not only one type of people who come here illegally we see only the poor and sick as being the problem and maybe the majority are, however we also have some well off people living here illegally as well.  We can not just bundle up this problem and place the blame on one group of people.  The government is not going to be able to remove the ones we currently have in this country and unless they decide to put some actual money into the problem it is not going to slow down in the future.  America still has jobs when many other countries do not and as long as America has jobs and money we will have people coming to this counry to fill them.  You want to end this problem fill these jobs with Americans and the illegals will return home, yet this will never happen when being on welfare can be a better deal than working at these jobs are.  We have made this problem and have lived with it for years and years and now we can see that it may threaten the security of our country and we want something done about it yesterday.  Well fact is that those who mean us harm were probably already here before 9/11 happened and we started looking at this.  They could be anyone's neighbor or someone you work side by side with and you will not know it until it is time for them to act.  It is too late to close the barn after the cows all got out.  This has been a major issue for all of my life and I figure it will remain long after I am gone.

Most definitely! Granted I am not Pro illegal immigration, but illegal or not, they are human beings just like the majority of us. I have helped several 13 yr. old children who had been walking so long, their shoes were worn out and the blister were so raw I wanted to cry. A friend (nurse) fixed them up, we fed them, and sent them on their way. They were just children for God's sake. I would hope that if I (or my children) were ever in that situation, someone would help.

Nope we keep it. We just remove the disease (illegal immigrants) that is infecting it. If you let a disease remain too long it starts to spread and take over and destroy the host. Gee isn't this what we see the illegals doing now?\n\nDEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS\n\nENGLISH ONLY IN AMERICA

Be careful friend. Talk like that in here can get you called a racist. Illegal immigration has ruined the town I've lived in most of my life. We can't even take care of our own in this country, but we are supposed to give everything we have to the illegals? We have no health care for so many here, too many are homeless and/or unemployed. All I can really say is would you feed your last bit of food to a stranger and let your kids go hungry?

Mexico is all for their citizens slipping into our country and 'earning' money to bring back to their country.. what better and easier way to bring in the bucks and help their economy? As a matter of fact, the Mexican government, for the past few years, has been issuing a pamphlet to it's citizens instructing them on how to 'avoid injury and possible death' when crossing the border to search for employment.  OUR government knew about this pamphlet all along but did nothing until just recently when American citizens began raising hell about it.  EACH illegal who comes to this country takes IN approximately $2700. MORE than they pay out in taxes.. IF they pay any at all.  That totals to somewhere around $10 BILLION dollars each year! OUR government.. WE taxpayers.. are shipping $10 BILLION to Mexico for nothing!  Illegals put a strain on our system that is very near to breaking it.. they stress our hospitals [they have no insurance], they stress our schools [we have no government allotments for non-citizens but they still gain something resembling an education] and they put a nearly choking stress on our penal and judicial systems. Where illegals gather, the crime rate jumps nearly 75% in some places.  And as if all of that weren't bad enough, illegals are solely responsible for actually bringing LEPROSY back into this country..among many other untreated and untested diseases.  We MUST do something!  Each one of us has the power to make a difference.. at the very least we vote out the members of our government who turn a blind eye to this problem.. but even better.. raise your voice! Write your representatives.. again and again ..for as long as it takes to make them listen.  If we sit idly by and do nothing.. then we have no one to blame when the primary language in this country becomes Spanish.

If only it weren't for the TB, we might have a solution for illegal immigration.  Right on man!

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.

Dont you know it is illegal and you could go to prison. There are enough illegal immigrants coming to our shores without you adding to their numbers.
