kill them?  Good thing the natives the pilgrims found didnt belive the same thing eh?  Kill them, really?  Whjy, b/c they want a better life for themselves and families?  When the only thing your and my family had to do back in the day was make it across the pond alive and they were let in?  Because they came over in ships and Mexicans swim or wade across a river they are somehow different?  Americans like you make me ashamed to be American.  What is it about them you don't like?  The fact they scrub toilets and make beds or the fact they wash dishes and paint houses?  Are you in the market for those jobs?  If so, then, lol, I MUST say to you, finish high school or get a GED and for Christ's sake get an associates degree and stop complaining about a part of the American society that at one time, all of our families were apart of you ignorant piece of trash.

i dunno most Mexicans are comeing here. don't get me wrong they are hard working people looking for a better life. but if this continues we will have a border war with Mexico. its already starting. i work construction. most illegals work in this field they already have immigration on jobs at least once a week here they are gonna be weeded out and that's only gonna make more problems in Mexico.personally i think they should make Mexico a territory. like they did Porto Rico. or even make it a state both would profit from this. but like you said the corruption is bad. and they wouldnt want this

You have made a point, although in a very insulting way.\n\nDifferent people are mad for different reasons:  \nI, personaly, am not scared of the hard working illegal who sneaks across the border.  It's the drug dealers, criminals, etc, that slip in along with you.  We need to seal the border & reform immigration law so we can let the good, hard-working people in, & keep the scum out. (we have enough scum of our own - we don't need more)\nI am also concerned with those who don't learn Engish.  I think everyone should learn a second language, but that includes immigrants (illegal or otherwise).  Learn English!\n\nBut there are people who feel threatened by people who actually have a healthy work ethic as well as those who just don't want any more "beaners" in America.  Please don't lump me with either of those groups.\n\nOne illegal alien in particular was a salvation for my boyfriend's family. His mother had a stroke & needed full-time live in care. The only Americans he could afford would quite after one week, sometimes just leaving without telling anyone leaving his mother alone for hours.  She could have had an episode & died!  One lady actually stole all the jewelry, including her wedding ring, before leaving.\nIn desparation, he finally found someone who had a cousin here illegally who was willing to do the job.  She became part of the family.  After 10 years of excellent care, his mother died.  That was 2 years ago, & we still consider her family.  She usually spends Christmas with us.

most people sound like they want  the new immigrant law to pass, and say to kick the illegals out and keep the legals. But i just want put say that it will not make the U.S any safer because if i recall the terrorist from 9-11 came legally to the U.S and one came illegally from Canada. think about it these people are psycho and have an abundance of money resources, immigrating to the U.S is not going to done through the Mexican border, its just not their cup of tea. if anything we should really re-assess what we are supporting here. illegal immigrants broke the law once and come to work hard back breaking labor, but the terrorist came here legally and killed thousands and we still do not see the big picture. there is definitely something wrong with America.

I don't hate Mexicans. I just don't care for illegals, be it Mexican, Canadians, etc... (anyone who is in America illegally and is a strain on our economy). You shouldn't HATE anyone; it'a such a strong word. Most people who HATE someone probably just don't understand that person or their culture.\nWhile I don't care for illegal immigrants, I certainly understand the reason they want to come here. They are usually fleeing from an underprivileged country and get free assistance from our government. America offers the promise of a new and better life. Who can say that we all wouldn't do the same thing given their situations? AND just because I understand their reason why, doesn't mean I pity them or agree with giving illegals amnesty. They should have to play by the rules like everybody else.

in favor of the "good" immigrants legal or illegal.  you will notice i mentioned illegal also.  my logic behind this is...i believe that there are illegal immigrants out there who truly appreciates being here, are thankful that they are here, and really trying their best to contribute to our society and economy but are unfortunate that they do not have a way to get legalized.  many people do not understand how difficult it is for an immigrant to get a permanent residency in the US if no one would sponsor them i.e. immediate family = US citizen parents or children.  also, i'm sure all of us at one point in our lives...an illegal has helped in some way, maybe the doctor who saved your loved one is an illegal immigrant, or the caregiver of your grandparents are illegal.  however the illegals who commit crimes like murder, stealing, vandalizing, gang violence...those people are simply bad news.  so i'm in favor of good immigrants, legal or illegal...key word GOOD.

Amen. By allowing illegal aliens or immigrants or whatever to become citizens, we're telling everyone "stay here long enough illegally and we'll forgive you." What happens when that illegal kills someone, or rapes? What do we do then? Let it go, because they have a 'right' to sexual pleasure?

I don't hate Mexican's..\nI dislike the fact that they are coming here ILLEGALLY and then want rights in this country as if they were legal.\n  Follow the laws of this country. Keep your heritage but if you live in America..learn the language, learn our National Anthem in English, pay for your healthcare, pay taxes just like you and I have to do. \n  Some of the cruel comments you mention that people are making about Illegal Mexicans are simply being made because there is some truth to it. Even if 10% who enter illegally are with crimmal background, that's too much. And that is because we are not talking about 500 or so people entering illegally on a daily basis.We are talking THOUSANDS on a daily basis. You do the math. They probably hate the fact that not only are they entering Illegally but yes, some are bringing disease, some are coming to deal drugs etc. It's not a horrible assumtion as you said. It does have some truth in it and with the thousands upon thousands entering the USA on a daily basis, this will become OUR problem. There are no background checks or health checks on these people..they are entering ILLEGALLY and can jeopardize our lives and our children's lives down the road.\n  As for people devoting comments only to Mexicans Immigrants as you said, I don't know where you live, but I have seen, with no exageration, an enormus increase in the Mexican population where I have been living for the past 30 years. This   may be why people are mainly focusing on Mexicans. They may not actually HATE Mexicans but hate the situation that this country has put itself in by allowing it to happen in such enormus numbers, most of which I might add was and is being done illegally. And this, purely out of frustration of some truth may be why cruel comments are being said.

I am Mexican and I lived in the US, but I was not illegal. Most illegal immigrants have a bad way of life and for them the US is the only opportunity to have a better life. I know that it is illegal and wrong, but for most of them, life did get better and it makes me feel good because I HATE seeing anything suffer. The reason why illegals go to the US is that they see the American way of life, and they wish they had such a good quality of life, and unfortunately, in Mexico, many people have a bad quality of life.

Mexican illegals are almost in mayority poor people without education. People like these are always being taken advantage of by U.S. business owners getting the low paying jobs no american would accept, and by the Mexican goverment allowing them to travel in most cases risking their lives to the U.S. so that they earn some dollars and send them to their families. And sooner or later, directly or inderectly, mexican polititians get the money. Now that few dollars multiplied by millions of mexican workers becomes Mexico politiians´third largest income. \nThe illigal immigration is wrong, but it has been this way everywhere ever since there are borders; all rich countries have a poor neighbor, and they allways permit a number of "illegal immigrants" to cover all the unwanted jobs but when the immigrants become too many, then it becomes a problem. There is a price to pay if one wants a cheep labour force and the U.S. is paying it. White americans have not learned from the past, when they bought africans to be their cheap labour force once, and now they have had to learn to live with african americans, and that was the price. This time they permitted the Mexicans for cheap labour and now they they will have to learn to live with a large number of latin american immigrants. Now, remember that americans were illigal immigrants in the northern part of Mexico but with the help of a corrupt Mexican president payed a small sum, managed to keep all that territory that became California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. How much has the U.S. really gained from those states that were once Mexico??? Did Mexico not lose??\nNow, that is the way it is, and borders are the way they are,  but at least some U.S. citizens should not be so cruel when they talk about "illegal immigrants". These are just poor desperate people trying to survive economicaly since they have no posibility in their "pueblitos". A "funny" thing is that the cruelest comments I´ve read seem to be from descendants of poor immigrants.

Why sneak in?\nBecause it's faster and easier than going through the legal channels.  Because all they have to do is walk through the desert for a few hours.  Because the system allows illegals to work here, and employers to hire them without any documentation.  Because Mexico isn't doing enough to strengthen it's own economy and has become a leech on the underside of the US.  Ask Western Union how much money is sent to Mexico if you don't believe that.\nIt's really not about race, it's about money.  People want to have money and will do whatever they can to get it.  I don't blame them for coming here, but I don't think that allowing it is good for the US.

I'll take a shot at it, if you don't mind Ma'am! They are looking for anything to gain sympathy and portray themselves as victims. They are extremely cunning, as their real intent is to take over by sheer population. Putting up a wall will stop them from doing this. They also feel that this is their land, much as the Palestinians feel that Israel is rightfully theirs. Their propaganda machines are in overdrive right now, as this is a make or break time for them. The Mexicans really hate us, and I think it is them that we should be wary of. Americans have seemed reasonable in their attitudes and responses to these people, but it is them - they are full of hatred and rage. To me, someone with that much hatred is a much stronger candidate to participate in an extermination or genocide.

You got a point there. People are so caught up into trying to get "illegals" out that they don't even think about the impact that may come. Better yet, a MEXICAN ILLEGAL who went to Iraq just got honored with the 3rd highest ranking medal a MARINE can get for saving fellow soldiers at war while he was wounded. How come no one protests about that? How come these racist hicks don't go to war since they love their country so much? why don't they die for it?

Each and everyone of us is here because our ancestors were looking for a better life. But what people don't remember is that there has always been a limit as to how many immigrants are allowed in. Remember Stanton Island and what people went through to get here, some were even turned away.So it isn't that immigration is bad or coming to America for a better life is bad, but sneaking over the border is what is bad. I am an ex-Maytag worker, the factory moved to Mexico. America is always trying to fight for the underdog and all the while we are becoming the underdog and then who will fight for us. Our jobs are going to Mexico and Mexicans are still coming and taking more jobs. I would like to know whos Idea it was to say that they are taking jobs away that people don't want, because I wanted my job.

your absolutely right...their cultural backwardness and violence says it all....do we really want them assimilated into our society..???\n\n\nliberal socialists want us to "look at individuals" who sneak across the border and break our law to do that for a better life....thats crap...it is a culture that is trying to invade and keep their own way of life with no nod at all to americas values and laws...\n\nhow many times have you heard of the mexican who shot, stabbed, or beat another person for messing with his "property"..usually a woman...and the prevailing thought is "thats just how those latinos are..hotheaded"...\n\nthey have no desire to assimilate or fit in...they just want our dollars, any way they can get them...legal or otherwise...

may be the question should now be, why do we hate illegal immigrants so much, cause they broke a law? or cause they are poorer to be legal? so does every one here think being illegal is a choice? how dumb is that, it is not a salad dressing, if they were giving a chance to be legal, they would definitely would, but we are so ready to toss judgment at the poor or the incapable, maybe ask dear old bush to make a bet easier for them, so they would come out of the ditches they live in and be a "good citizen"
