obeirn1:  Fianlly someone with a brain on here.  I agree with you 100%.  Here is the trouble with this immigration debate, to much prejudices, and racisits trying to run the country.  Also some of these "haters" as I have so affectionatly called them, tend to go with what the neighbor says without investingating things themselves.  Like most things, when people jump to conclusions, this whole thing will turn out to blow up in the "haters" face.  People dont realize that it is not just "Mexicans" here illegally, and if you look at the problem more, you will se that it is actually our own Governement (INS policies) that prohibit the majority of these hispanics from gaining papers.  Look at it from their side, if your kids were starving would you not do what you had to do to feed them?  Now if you cant afford food, how on earth are you to afford thousands of dollars for papers, when the wages in countries like Mexico are 5 bucks a week....people just think they know all when they refuse to see the tarnish on the coin.  ~~To answer the question, I am ashamed that as a whole, americans think they are somehow better than the rest of the world!~~

Well.. really it all boils down to control... and money.\n\nPeople don't like not having control of who is in their country, and the government doesn't like losing tax revenues on undocumented workers and their taking advantage of public services that the don't help pay for. This can make some social services unavailable for citizens because of the strain it puts on the system.\n\nSome people argue that they steal valuable american jobs, but most of them are day laborers or farmworkers because they don't have the paperwork to get a decent job. SOME americans do need these jobs... but a lot of unemployed people are not looking for that kind of work.\n\nIt is also hard to control a bunch of people that don't know our language well (some speak great), have different cultural values, and are not familiar with our laws.\n\nIf they are caught and deported, it would seem like a short term problem, but there are always more coming, with no end in sight, so the problem itself is long term, even if the people aren't.

Hey, I don't know where you are looking, but I see lots of Asians in the fields, not just Hispanics.  Maybe don't see too many whites doing that but that is because they are more often educated so they don't have to do such menial labour.  Anyways, you say they pick our food for us like you think they are doing it as a favour to us - I don't think so!  They are doing it for the money they get paid, and don't give a thought to who is going to eat the food.  Anyways, now I hear that the illegal immigrants are bringing in diseases such as TB and so, quite frankly, I'd just as soon they NOT come pick my food or prepare it in restaurants.  They need to immigrate legally so they can be tested for these diseases and not be allowed in if they have them or are carriers.  Anyways, when you see these minorities picking the veggies in the fields, it is not because they really love to do that slave labour work, it's because they have no educations and so can't do anything else.  I'm sure they would love to sit at a desk in a nice comfy, air conditioned office, rather than sweat out in the fields for a couple bucks.

I will boycott nothing, because I don't care how much any person whines about illegal immigration.  I personally have heard no complaints about anything.  And either way, if we start whining about Cinco de Mayo, we become just like the people whining about immigration.

I think there is a reason it is called Illegal Immigration. I think all of the protesting is rediculous, if these people want to be in this country, do it the right and legal way. Basically, all they want to do, is cut inline in front of all of the people who have been wanting and waiting to be a legal ciztizen of this country. All the employers who are angry about harsher punishment for aiding an illegal immigrant SHOULD get in trouble, if all they are looking for is cheap labor. This is a country that welcomes immigrants with open arms, if they will just go through the process. I heard that they speculate there are up to 12million illegal immigrants in this country, that is total b*llshit. If they want to live here, they can pay taxes just like the rest of the country. Protesting because you think its wrong...are you insane? You are protesting in a country that you came to illegally. If you want to live and work here, it must not be so damn bad, huh? Give me a break..

If they have somebody to feed them, they don't sleep hungry.\nIf they have somebody to employe them, they become employee.\nIf they make any mistake and are caught, they get punishment and are deported.

I agree. the companies that hire them should be punished not the poor people that just want food on their tables. but shame on the presidents of all those countries were illegal immigrants come from because they dont do anything to stop the problems they have in their countries and no wonder why people leave their countries trying to find a better life for their families.

Don't worry about these idiots! They are hypocrites by using the word illegal! I bet half these people use some drugs of some kind or have broken the law!  All they can do is sit here and bicker amongst themselves about how much of a "threat" illegals are ! That's all they can do! Talk is cheap! They should go complain to the government for their insecurities! Illegals don't bother me the least bit, because they have in no way threatened my job or well being! The ones that I know are on no kind of public assistance or using any stolen ss numbers! I have more important things to worry about, like a morgage and my job and family!

This is only an issue because these people are too lazy and don't want to work for anything. Illigals are even getting gov assistance, and now we are makeing it so that they don't even have to learn english. that is a good question tho... why ARE we bickering over legalizing a bunch of free loaders who can't communicate with the general population? Yea, that will be good for the country *scoff* But we can't deport them! That might hurt their feelings... god, america is really irritating me lately!

Si, mi amigo, yo consento con usted. But at the same time the people that hire the illegals are sonegating taxes and taking the opportunities of those there are legal, the employers know that they can pay these people under minimum wage and they have not to pay benefits. I understand that their respective countries are not the best thing in the planet, but you know what, they are DEMANDING things(protests and isultingactions) from the government, and I am sorry it is not the U.S.' job to be the babysitter of the planet. I also agree that they wnat to better their lives, but there is a Legal way to do so, hentz  immigration laws and procedures.I had to do itthe legal way so can they!!\n\np.s.: It is unconceivable to think that in a country with 240+ million people you will not be able to fill up the jobs of those 19+ milion that right now are illegal here! \nLets use an example: 50 years ago before there were so many illegal immigrants in the country some of those jobs done by them right now had to be done by americans. And you know what? there are no reports of people complaining about the prices of vegetables , landscaping- illegals work construction- (which I may say, real state is overvalued right now, but that is a different argument).And more, the employers hire illegals so that they can maxime their marginal revenue, not because they want to charge less money from you.

Well, for one thing, waiters and waitresses have to deal with snotty business executives who THINK they are better people than the waiter, and treat them like dirt.  And the waiters have to just take it if they want to keep their jobs. (Same applies for the poor way they treat and talk to their own employees.) They are doing a service for them so that they do not have to cook your own food or clean up after themselves.  And if they do a decent job, then yes, they deserve to be paid a salary that is decent enough to live on. Do you business executives think that the job the garbage man does is not important enough to pay him a decent salary?  Ok, try living without garbage pickup for 6 months, and having to haul your own trash to the dumps.  \n\nI have worked in many places where I hear the executives whining about how they cannot keep good help.  Well, do they TRY to?  No, they pay low wages where the person has to work a second job just to make ends meet. And they look down their noses if that employee gets any kind of financial assistance.  Well, to me, it is not a reflection on the worker, it is a reflection on their stingy employer, who wants the work done but doesn't want to pay a decent salary for it.  So of course when something better opens up, they leave.  \n\nANY working person deserves to be paid at least enough to meet the cost of living - and I do NOT mean living in a slum!\n\nMaybe if employers would recognize that they NEED even the "lowliest" employee to make their business run, things would be a lot better all around.

To come here ILLEGALLY and then make demands is utterly presumptuous, especially if no attempt is being made to acclimate into our existing culture.   Would you expect anything OTHER than a backlash to that?  How rude!
486968
No, it did not change my mind. Most who protested are illegals (many were not) and by protesting and leaving the job for a day they thumbed their noses at the very people who gave them jobs (illegally or not, they were given jobs). Biting the hand that feeds you to use a cliche.  Also, they are here ILLEGALLY, that means they are in violation of our laws. I commend those who came here legally and fought long and hard for their citizenship, so we are now just to hand it over because they are protesting? What about all those people who have studied and worked hard to become citizens?  What a slap in their face.

Because legals take their citizenship for granted and don't go to high school, then complain how their jobs are stolen. Look stupid (I'm talking to people who say their jobs are being taken away), go to school, than you wouldn't have to compete for a job that somebody that doesn't know English but just has a good work ethic. Jobs are not being stolen, who had these jobs before? Immigrants!! So stop being retarded.

I am glad to have foreigners in my country because they are cheap labor. How many white men do you know that would work for less than 5 dollars an hour in a field under the scourching sun while crop planes drop insecticides on them while they are picking the fruits and vegetables that we eat that we pay hardly anything for. If there were no immigrants our produce and so many other things that we use and eat daily and take for granted would not be accesible because the costs would be to high. So whoever said that immigrants come and take the white mans jobs, you are full of it. They take the jobs that nobody wants, such as housekeepers, field workers, janitors, and so on, I hope that you get the point. For those that live in the U.S. remember 90% of us are descended from immigrants. Mexico is part of America, they are just South America. they did not have to take a boat to get to the America's, they were already here. If you actually look at the statistics most people that are on welfare are white women, not mexicans. I have met plenty of hispanic immigrants that are in the process of learning  English, believe me people it does not take over night to learn a language. Americans are very ignorant and stupid when it comes to things like this. How many of you actually learned a new language before visiting another country? Some of these immigrants really are here on a short term basis, they are here to make money to take back to their families. Just like any American that works or tries a new investment, all you are trying to do is support your family. Be respectful of other people, remember One Nation Under God, it is not very christian to be so ignorant.......
