Don't you think that we should give illegals these things?

Not until black people are given their 40 acres and a mule. Seriously. We do way too much for foreigners in our country but won't take care of our own people. It's sickening..and I don't have any problem with their race, ethnicity. Just wanted to clarify that.

yes, but president fox  (of mexico) should pay 1/2 the bill and the illegal employer the other 1/2, plus fines.  let's recoup some money for our needy (children, elderly, ill.) make a solid statement.  or it will continue to happen, just more covert.

No but we should not give them rights they have not earned. You seem to be very well informed.

No-he wants what others tell him. It is wrong so many people who take from our country and not pay. We spend billions (YES BILLIONS) on Aid (for illegals)-food, medical(thats why we pay more)housing, look this up on web. Its allowed for the children's sake. Granting amnesty will not solve problem. We must secure boarders-have guest work passes (so they can work and pay taxes) and we must not give services to others of other countries till me can help those here first.--Wake up! People here can not get their medical needs met. Is that fair to them? We need some order and fairness (especially to those here). But Bush will do what the others (money) want-he is a figurehead not a true Boss. And the government will go the way of the money-how they can get more-not what is needed.

The whole land of the free thing comes into play. I read an article in USA today this year that stated how many millions of dollars are earned by legal and illegal immigrants and shipped back to there home country to support their famalies. Not even there illegal income is being recycled back into our economy. I am a strong democrat and have strong beliefs on this issue. My daughter is in fourth grade and has to listen to her teacher teach a lesson in both english and spanish. This is distracting to other students and not fair to our already underpayed teachers. It takes away from what we as legal US Citizens pay for. A wall is a good idea, but they will probably find a way over it. Illegal should be against the law and we shouldn't waste our tax dollars taking care of them in jail when they get picked up. I think they should be deported too thier own country at their own expense or to the expense of their country. If the Coutries of origin start getting hit in the pocket book. They will tighten up on their own borders and maybe between the wall and monetary fining it might slow down illegal immigrants. I could go on forever. But I agree with you and probably 50 percent of the rest of the US population. Not to mention the jobs they take because 10 illegals will do the work of one man in a fraction of the time for the same pay or less. Fines for employers and stiff fines should be implemented. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!! okay have to stop now.

Why have you given this bunch to us? I don't understand your question.

US immigration officials should take a look at those.  If Mexico wants to be that harsh to other country's citizens, well by golly, we should be that harsh to theirs!  Maybe then we won't have so many Mexican migrant workers crossing over our border illegally to get free education, free medical care and free housing.

You should get the 10 points because you are Absolutely correct! We need this celebration because the retailers can cater to the millions of illegal Mexicans now in this country. I guess if you make enough money off of something it really doesn't matter how wrong it might be for the overall health of the country. One look at our government under Bush and that should say it all.

The same 11 million reasons we pay out of the+_)(*&^%$#@!\nIf they're illegal,send'em back where they came from,and\nmake whoever take care of all of them,and see what !@#$%^&*\nthe U.S. has to put up with!.

give them their rights

I think we should use technology to assist with illegal immigration. At one point in our history we had the room and need for a huge immigrant population, but those times are behind us. We need better border control for our economy and our safety.

Yeah, we all support them with the money we are forced by taxation to pay to meet their needs while they live tax free. And no, I don't want to support them because it lessen the amount of cash I have to support myself. What part of illegal doesn't our government understand? They need to be arrested, prosecuted and then ship them home pronto! Otherwise every American person arrested for an 'illegal' act should sue for wrongful detainment/discrimination.

no i dont think it should be for people to lazy to get a job...why should we give people money for free

I tend to agree.  This crap is pissing people off...and it's squandering any good will many of us may have had in regard to the plight of illegals.

Honey, you are barking up the wrong tree by trying to rationalise this problem with those who are willingly crossing our borders and breaking our laws.  Why SHOULD they change this behaviour?  Why SHOULD they fix their own country's system?  They can come here, illegally, but no one seems to mind.. they can work for cash and pay no taxes and take that money back to Mexico.. AND they can apply for and RECIEVE public assistance..INCLUDING welfare CHECKS.. and all of THAT money goes back to Mexico as well.  WE are funding their country and their government only has to tell them HOW.   Don't think for a minute that this is fantasy.. I worked for the department of Social Services in California and I was REQUIRED to give them the benefits even though they were illegal.. and I was FORBIDDEN to even SAY the words 'green card' to them. why?  because it might OFFEND them!!  Needless to say, I didn't stay long.. but I did take the time to talk to many of my clients.. yes, the illegal ones [after all, they made up 90%!! of my case load] and they explained the entire process to me.. all the time LAUGHING at how STUPID we Americans are to ALLOW them to do it.  So, I know what I'm talking about.

I agree 100%. WE should be getting the government fund first and foremost. If they want them things then their country needs to come up with them. We have homeless and jobless people right here in the US that were born and raised AMERICAN and they can't get money from the government. Look at how they are treating most of the veterans, alot of them are homeless now, because after the war, they had nothing and no where to go. We like in a broken country and it needs Jesus

Of course they should be protected, they are American citizens and they deserve protection same as the rest of the American citizens do - they pay taxes.  Seal the borders and deport ALL illegals!
