How do you feel about illegal immgration?

I live in Southern California and I noticed the following things:\n\n1.  The freeways were unclogged and hence faster than I can remember in twenty-fives years.\n2.  Although impossible to see, the freeways were also safer than they have EVER been since thousands and thousands and thousands of uninsured illegal Mexicans were off the streets\n3.  There were no fights on the campus of my high school\n4.  Walking around I hardly saw a single Mexican out and about--it reminded me of when I was attending my university classes--I never saw any Mexicans then either\n5.  A few Mexican shops were closed for the day (boy that will teach us white folks a lesson won't it?)\n\nOver all it was one of the greatest days in recent memory.  If the illegal Mexicans wanted to show us what it would be like for a day if they weren't around, I certainly learned that lesson!  \n\n\nIt was divine!  I say they should have one of these ridiculous protests twice EVERY week.  Then we will learn!

I don't ever remember saying that was ok, I feel that it is horrible that happened. it must b hell going through that everyday. any one that does something like that should be punished. and if they or illegal they should b deported, in none of my answers have I said a crime like this is ok, look at my q&a's. I understand u r angry but I dont understand why you r attacking me. I didnt know them. I was born in the U.S. I feel for u. do you really think any one in their right mind would laugh that off. and you know this is personal but its not like anyone here knows me, but I was assaulted by an illegal neighbor, while my kid and I were sleeping on the couch. and yes I hated mexicans for a long time, I had different therapy, EMDR, but I came to realize its not all of them that r bad. I'll never be the same but I cant keep hating them all. I am so sorry for what you have been through no one should go through that.I dont even think u know y your attacking me. but u dont know me r what ive been throug either. and my deepest prayers r with you. \n\nhave you ever heard of E.M.D.R you should it can be helpful

Sounds great to me, although on the news there've been people that have turned in illegal aliens repeatedly to INS and the government never even investigated. But hey it's worth a try.

Yes. It is OK. But the illegal immigration should be persecuted as criminal.

Oh my when I or anyone I know start looking at people who look different than us and trying to decide if they are illegal or not.....well that is the day we should just shut ourselves up in the house with our cats and Dr. Phil.\n\nI am so glad that I and those I love are so completley oblivious to "that" part of this immigration crap.  We don't judge people and think they are OBVIOUSLY ILLEGAL because they play "carnival music"....we play boy bands a little too often ourselves, or park cars in the driveway (we have quite a few that my husband calls "fixer uppers"), or comment on how many live in a home.......we don't have alot...but would hate for someone to comment if all 6 of my husbands brothers and their families came to visit.\n\nIt is all general.....some just distort the details to fit the circumstance.\n\n\nPeace.

First of all, thank you for fighting for this country. I'm sure you have your reasons for feeling the way you do and you are totally entitled to feeling like that. \n\nSecond, after reading the answers left here by "infamous" ppl in the immigration category who are know for their "beliefs" I can honestly see why you feel the way you do. \n\nLast, many don't want to admit to being racist and that only shows they are cowards. Best of luck to you in Iraq or wherever you might be serving. Many are good at judging and expecting others to die for them which is ironic since they themselves won't do what you are doing.\n\nI dont think you said anything about illegal immigration, did you? you said immigration in general not illegal but here they go again.

you shouldn't feel guilty...no country just lets ppl come right in. usa needs to protect it's economy, schools and hospitals. what is happening in ca will eventually be occurring throughout the nation if nothing is done to keep out illegals. http://ailf.org/ipc/fairdistortion.asp http://humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13889

no! it makes me feel less safe in my own daily environment, and i know a lot of people that feel the same way. not only are the nsa's domestic spying operations illegal, but they are irrelevant, if not counterproductive, to achieving a real sense of security for the average american.

As you would be exploiting someone who did not yet have the capacity to make an informed decision, I would be against it.  Same reason it is illegal.

I wasn't sure how I felt about the boycott but after seeing the number of people who are against it and the whole immigration mess, I believe it may very well be a valid way of getting a point across. I know most people say their major beef is with ILLEGAL immigrants, however, I feel that the majority of those illegals would much rather be legal. Our and their government makes it hard. If it were so easy to fill out papers and become legal people would do it. There are many roadblocks. In the meantime while red tape is being strung across every thing in the world, they still need to work and feed themselves and be able to have a normal life, therefore, their illegal status. I don't believe that the HR 4437 bill will be as easy as it sounds.\n\nI am Mexican, born and raised here by parents who were born and raised here. My grandparents were illegal immigrants who worked, paid taxes, paid their own medical bills and were not on any form of welfare. It took MANY YEARS for my grandfather to finally get a legal status and my grandmother barely got it about 3 yrs ago, which was shortly before she died. I dont speak Spanish, dont have a loyalty to Mexico and I love my country. However, I do not think sending them all back is the answer! When my daughter who is 1/2 mexican 1/2 white asked me about staying home from school I said no. Now though, I am changing my mind about it and I believe I will let the schools lose some money by not sending my 5 kids to school. Schools that I pay taxes to help support. If everyone did that, I believe it would show just a small sliver of what could happen. Problem is I don't think everyone will.\n\nAnyway, I think it's great they're trying to find their voice. Even though they're not officially members of our country, they are still members, whether people want to acknowledge that or not. For all the good they do I believe they've earned the right to be heard. There may be many people who will say they don't want them here anyway but the silent majority (business owners) know they don't want them to leave. If the wages of the avg. American worker are being brought down because Mexican nationals will accept lower wages, think what would happen if magically they all disappeared. Sure, the wages would go up but the companies that relied on staying in business due to being able to pay lower wages will go out of business. A LOT OF THEM! That would mean the unemployment rate would skyrocket. Lines full of American workers who no longer have a place to work. There is no easy answer to this situation. I do believe there should be a system of checks and balances so that not just anyone can come here, namely terrorists. However, the Mexicans coming here to work are not terrorists and even the $$ issue can't be completely valid because there are still and will always be WAY more of us(Americans) than there are of them!

I have worked in resturants, and dug graves, worked on a farm, drove truck, in a factory, and worked some construction, I would do it again if able. I wonder what some people do not know about the word ILLEGAL. it is scarry that criminals are allowed to just roam in the US without knowing who they are or what they are up to.
