should the Mexican government  be accountable for the damage that the illegals do to our country?

I don't think Mexico has done anything wrong-- what would be the need?

I don't think the illegals are to blame for our bad economy. This country has lots of laws that makes us a good target for leeches. \n\nLike for example the law that says hospitals shouldn't turn away anybody who needs treatment or medical procedures. People from all over the world come to America to have expensive surgeries and don't pay a thing. We have no way of making them pay because after the procedure they just fly back home. Who ends up paying the bill? We do. Taxpayers and insurance money.\n\nThose countries that America has been in war with before, we help those people too, let them in here and give them money and benefits to start with. They also have special housing. I know a lot of them. \nI have a friend who manages an apartment and she's got a lot of people from another country on the list of those who can benefit of just paying $600/mo for an apartment priced $3,000 for the rest. They were even bragging that the US government would pay them $500/mo  per child if they go back to their country, give birth and raise their children there. Where would the US government get the funds then? Who let them in here in the first place and gave them Visas? Our country did. Illegals can't do that here because they wouldn't have the right to do it and they wouldn't have benefits these people does.\nThere's a lot of things going on in our country that politicians don't change. They only think about their pockets. Election comes and they promise things but never delivers.\n\nWe created our bad economy because we just didn't care enough to voice out.

I cannot believe this question to be serious in nature. \n\n\nEvery person for illegal immigration needs to compensate these innocent people who have had their social security numbers and identities stolen by these illegals who invade our country with no care who they hurt. They should have to not only compensate the money lost from their social security accounts after they are zeroed out once the fraud is detected, but every last cent the victims had to pay taking time off work, every cent that went into photocopying documentation, every cent that went towards lawyers and gas driving somewhere to get this mess taken care of, and any other financial expenditure the victim had to cough up. They should also be forced to compensate the victims for the emotional hardships endured. They should have to compensate for the money and time spent trying to straighten out their credit ratings after these illegals have ruined them. They should be forced to compensate these victims for every single hardship related to what these illegals have inflicted upon these people. Currently, the system does not provide any compensation at all and a lot of people are never restored to previctimization status. Oh but these pro-illegals claim that illegal immigration is a victimless crime that hurts no one and that we are whining when we complain. \n\nYou think these illegals care that they are hurting innocent lives? Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American fl

While legal immigrants should be afforded these services because we allowed them to be here. Illegal immigrants should not be afforded these rights because they are breaking the law and mostly working under the table which does not put back into the tax pot.\n\n\n\nAs for your first answer, I would say yes, we are all looking at our southern neighbors because those are who are draining these services. Yes, the employer should be held accountable, but I also believe since they broke the law simply but not using legal means to get here,they should be held accountable also. To add, if someone wants respect then respect the law you can be hard working, by you are still disrespecting citizens by not coming her by legal means or better intentions for our country.

If it is good enough for Mexico...then it's good enough for them to abide by.\n\nI'm so tired of the hypocrisy...Sick and tired of the Politically correct mentality...\n\nEveryone should commit to abandoning the "I'm sorry" behavior...always apologizing for being an American.

That's what I say. Tear it all down and give it back. Let them flood in and see what good they get out of it. It will be as pathetic as the rest of Mexico.

yes. These illegals and their supporters are blaming Americans of all colors for their pitiful existence and using this blame as an excuse to condone and justify illegal activity.

i think if you are legal you should be treated fairly. but if you are not legal you should be deported back to your country untill you get the necessary documents. this doesn't just mean mexicans, its every illegal immigrant. i believe everyone needs a chance, they just need to do it legally.

no its not fair they took the time and money to do it right what if they cry we want a refund lol when will it end ? should we not have the right to decide as Americans and should we just change our laws to suit these people what about the next generation of mexicans, and i know not all illegals are mexicans, but the fact is most are own it and what about that next generation ? will they not also want in since no one is fixing mexico  are we only promoting more corruption?
1035848
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.

I believe Mexico would be forced to improve if we secured our borders. They have a current economic policy of getting rid of their poor people by sending them here, which is obviously uncaring and irresponsible. If we stopped being their welfare state, maybe they could improve the lives of their people.

The mess belongs to the people living in the United States of America. And the people should clean up the mess. We can force the politicians to annex Mexico into the United States of America. See the plan at http://annexmexico.org

If you think the illegals are eating into the welfare state resources, perhaps we should eliminate the welfare state. That would solve many problems beyond the subject at hand.

The Mexican Government can very well afford to take care of all of its own people. Their oil industry is the second richest in the world next to Saudi Arabia. The Mexican government is exploiting its own people making things hard for them to survive at home and then encouraging them to migrate in droves to the United States. Their agenda is two fold. One is that they want to take back California and Texas and they are using their citizens to come here in such numbers that we cannot keep up with it. They are also organizing the illegals here to protest that we have a problem with their illegality (Mexico would never put up with us doing that to them) and with the financial burden they are imposing on American tax payers. The second agenda of the Mexican government in pushing out their citizens into the United States is that the illegals send back over a billion dollars a year to Mexico and that BOOSTS their economy BIG TIME. (It HURTS our economy BIG TIME). Too many people here have been fooled  into thinking that the poor Mexicans have no alturnative but to come here or starve. NOT TRUE!!!  Vincente Fox is a snake in the grass. He is greedy and uses his citizens to take us over and get richer and we don't even know it.  And we, as compassionate a country as we are, we still should not be used like we are bythe Mexican government.
