Yes, employers of the illegal immigrants are the problem, if you take away the employment there would be no reason for them to be here. They the elected officials are suppose to uphold the law not break it and there are laws against employing illegals. I think they should be arrested and treated no better or worse the any other employer that decides that they do not have to adhere to the law.

Who told you that? Some legal Mexicans are protesting right along with the illegals while some just forgot where they came from. Question. What do you have against Mexicans?

no, it's not ok, they are just undocumented workers.

What's wrong with them registering with the government, or some legal organization.  They can commit a crime here and disappear back to Mexico.  It's not like they came here illegally in the first place.  (Part one)

because thats the only thing they can say to someone who disagrees with illegals being here. they know they aren't suppose to be here, and that there is no real excuse for it. So when someone says they want illegals to be deported, then they are a racist.

Illegal aliens are committing a crime against our country.\nGays commit a crime against themselves and God.\n\nI bash both!  (Verbally, not physically)

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!

I have this brilliant idea to eliminate the problems associated with illegal immigrants:\n\n1. They use services but don't pay taxes\n2. They are exploitable by employers, who threaten them with deportation, so they have to work for very low wages\n\nSolution to both problems:\n\nJust make them legal. Then no one can complain about "illegal" immigrants. They will be legal. They will pay taxes and support the services they use, such as public schools, public hospitals, etc.\n\nAnyone who is not a known criminal and comes here to work and pay taxes should be allowed to do so.

They are lame excuses that pro illegal immigrant supporters have. I always wonder if they have toilets in Mexico or any other country for the pro illegal supporters to be using that as a definitive response. Do they not have lawns, restaurants or toilets? Why can't Mexico and other countries improve their economy for its people? It is not hard to clean up after yourself, so those responses are, well, dumb.

it is against the law and should be stopped. it's not the "immigrants" i have a problem with, it's the "illegal" part that bothers me. i'm cool with legal immigration.

I dont really know, illegal immigrants are a problem all over the U.S. there are over 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States, some are in more states than others. I think that the border needs to be covered more and I think if there are underground tunnels to the United States, they need to be found and filled.

Illegal immigration. A very serious problem right now. We are being invaded, and for some reason we aren't stopping it. These illegal aliens are draining away at all of the public services that WE PAY TAXES FOR! The citizens of the U.S. pay the taxes, whilst these invaders do not. They are like leeches - and we are doing nothing to peel them off.\n\n1. They get free medical care from American hospitals.\n2. They get free food from various charities!\n\n\nBut, of course, the things that they get are not really free. Maybe for them they are, but someone is paying for them. Someone is paying for these unlawful citizens to abuse the system. The people paying for these undeserving illegal immigrants are the citizens of the United States.\n\nAnother thing - it's absolute idiocy that these invaders are calling the lawful citizens of America racists. Since when does standing up for your country make you a racist? It makes you a patriotic person!  But, in this case, it seems that some mindless sympathizers have fallen for the illegals nonsensical argument. They are actually convinced that they are racists for not supporting these people! But the very people they are supporting are draining away our culture and destroying our economy! It seems that the sympathizers want to kill our country! At the current rate of immigration, the states near the border will become majorly Mexican and will probably start demanding to join a state like Texas or California back into Mexico! If these invaders keep on coming, It will no longer be the United States of America.\n\nIt's absurd that some of the Mexicans believe that this is their country. They say that it has been their homeland for 40,000 years. They say that they are not illegal if it is their land. They tell the law-abiding people to read the history books and find out that it is their land. My history book says that we won Texas and other states from Mexico in a war. It is ours.\n\nHeres another argument that although seems reasonable, has many flaws. Some people believe that illegals are helping our economy by providing cheap labor for employers. This is true, but the money they make is not circulated back into the economic system. It's going back to Mexico. And, as the illegals pay no taxes, they aren't helping much there either. These illegals are not benefiting the system - they are destroying it.\n\n\nHere are my solutions to the problem:\n\n1. Deport illegal aliens as soon as they are found.\n2. Build a wall. The Great Wall helped the Chinese against the Mongolians. The wall that we have to build will help us with the criminal invaders that are the Mexican illegal immigrants.\n3. Talk to Vincente Fox and demand that he stops giving his people pamphlets on how to get in the U.S.A. illegally. It is happening, and it is a huge problem. Vincente Fox is a terrorist!\n4. Punish companies that hire illegal immigrants severely. If the illegals have no incentive to come, they won't come. Simple as that.\n\n\n\nEducation: $22.5 billion\nBilingual 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$131.7 billion annually. More than the War in Iraq has cost us annually. In fact, about twice as much. We've been in Iraq for 3 years. It has cost us about 277,000,000,000. Illegal immigrants have cost us 131,700,000,000 a year. And, that number will rise at the current rate of illegal immigration.\nWar protestors are always complaining that we've spent too much on the war - well, look at how much we've spent on illegal immigrants.

Illegal immigrants are cheaters. They break the rules and circumvent the laws of our land. Come here the legal way - like the 10's of thousands are and have done in the past. It's like standing in line for hours and then this group just jumps to the head of the line. And feels justified at jumpng the line...and there are those who have been waiting in line for a long time. Get in the back of the line and wait your turn...DO IT LEGAL!

Illegal immigrants are those who choose to go against the law.\nSlaves are forced to work by those who go against the law.

I have no problem with IMMIGRANTS.  It's the illegal ones who\ndon't like to pay taxes that GIVE me grief.  If there were some\nway our folk could enforce THE laws that are already on the\nbooks, we could do what is BEST for our citizens, as well as\ncitizens who lay in wait and BLOW across our borders in the\ndead of night.  If they want JOBS that pay less than minimum\nwage, they can have them!!!!!!!!!  Not a sermon, just a thought!
