Have no clue. Maybe they're trying to bring Mexico here?

None of them come for fun.   How fun is it to work in construction in the dead of summer, sweating your ass off for 10 hours a day? Sound fun to you? Or how about seeding someones lawn and cutting grass, and planting flowers out in the damn sun for 50 hours a week?  Wow that sounds like great fun to me!!!   Western Union is on fire, and has been since immigrants starting immigrating here years ago, know why? because that pay check the mexicans got on Monday tues wed thurs or friday is being wired to a bank in Mexico for their wifes, sisters, daughters, sons or grand children to pick it up.  Ever walked into a grocery store and saw Mexicans lined up at the customer service desk, they're sending their paychecks to mexico.  That's what they come here for.  Lets deport all mexicans shall we??  I guess you might as well not go out to dinner anywhere, forget Chili's, or Olive Garden or your favorite barbeque place, because if we deport them all, are you gonna go back there and make your dinner yourself? They make up all our restraunts, and those roads youre driving on to take you to work everyday, are being paved by  hard working mexicans because no fat lazy ass american wants to slave out in the hot sun for hours on end.    Granted, there's your stereotype mexican, who stares at women, and says things in spanish that you don't understand, but not every mexican is like that.  They honestly come here to make a living and LEAVE.  They dont' want to stay here.  This is foreign to them.   it takes time to save up money, and most of them work 40+hours a week.   Know why restraunts keep hiring mexicans even tho they are threatened every week by the immigration office, because they come to work, and on time, and work their butts off... Did you know that only 20% of americans come to work on time everyday of the week?  Yeah, 20% out of how many millions? I'm not a mexican advocate, I'm just saying, I've been witnessed to what is going on in america and how mexicans are treated, and americans are so SCARED they're gonna come and take their jobs.  Give me a break, have you seen an illegal alien becoming a lawyer, or a doctor... please...  they take the jobs we DONT WANT..so whats the big deal?  Let them come and make some money for their families.  More americans are on welfare than anywhere else, because they don't want to work.  So you hate Mexicans for wanting to make a better life?   \n\nDo you know what it costs to become a LEGAL resident of the United States? Thousands of dollars. I'm not talking about getting a green card and working a job part time and then coming back to Mexico, I'm saying... actually applying at the immigration department, and waiting..not to mention it takes up to 10 years to even get an answer. You all need to read up on your facts. Would you want to wait 10 years to get citizenship, would your kids wait 10 years to eat, because you couldn't get decent money in the country you're living in? They come here for the money. Not to take over our jobs, homes, and land. Get a clue.\n\nFrankly, I could care less. If we become a minority, so be it. Mexicans work harder, and longer than any white folk. I'm white, and I'll tell you what, I wouldn't do half the jobs that mexicans do, for 3 bucks an hour. If you want something done, and DONE right, and not half-assed, then hire a mexican. They are always on time, they always put in more than required, and they always do a great job. Of course there's very few of them, that don't do a good job.. which is like a good portion of americans ( unemployment line is proof enough ). The way I look at it is.. If we can send troops over to IRAQ to make their government more civilized and feed other countries, etc... and all the lovely things we do for 3rd world countries, then by god we should go over to Mexico, and assist them with getting the mexican residents in mexico higher paying jobs. Their jobs over t

I agree with you on one thing (but I'll proofread mine)... "If you give people to take the path of least resistance, generally they will take it."\n\nBeing unable to use the native language of the country of one's residence renders one poor, and it's true that options are few. Soooo many people here don't learn English EVER because there are Spanish newspapers, television, books, services of all kinds, Hispanic businesses where some of the staff don't speak a lick of English, etc etc. Almost everything Southern California has to offer has a Spanish version of it. People can come here and live out most of their lives and still never learn English. A shame, that's just laziness. I mean, night school is FREE! However, there's really no incentive if everything is in Spanish. That should change, I believe that citizenship should be contingent upon learning English. No need to be a master at it, but enough to communicate decently in public.\n\nHowever, to say that they don't belong here, I will COMPLETELY DISAGREE with you. This country is for immigrants, no matter where they're from and no matter what language they speak. Once they're here, they do have the obligation of learning American ways, including the language, this is true. But how dare anyone say that a certain group "doesn't belong" in this country!!! I'm Hispanic, and find this VERY OFFENSIVE.

Consider that we are letting people into our country via Mexican border that want to honestly kill us! There is no way to monitor the vast amount of people pouring into our borders every day!These people need to be fed and housed and I have seen people receive WIC cards that I know were illegals! Diversity is a wonderful thing IF you are legal! If not, go home and try to make your country great. Take the example of the American people and do what they did...struggle to make this country what it is! Demand change! We cannot afford to pay with our lives and safety of our citizens since our national security is at stake. If you really want to become an American you need to learn the language which is ENGLISH! Do not expect to have your own language here and have people  accommodate you! If my ancestors did it ...you can too! If you are not willing to learn the language of a country you do not deserve to be a citizen of that country! We are a blend of the BEST of the whole world , we only want the best the world has to offer. You have to show you are a person who respects the laws of this country before you will be welcomed in as one of us! This means no running over the borders!

isn't that what they are doing...in a clip mexican protesters were talking about having infantry...mexico has been educating it's citizens on how to swim across the border. so why wouldn't mexico want them to fight to stay here....it will happen if usa starts deporting!!! ppl need to wake up and realize that there is an invasion of usa!!!

Hell no! Mexico is trying to take over the USA as it is. Look how many are SNEAKING across the borders now, if we were to give them duel citizen ship, that would be a night mare, then who is next? Canada? I say lets keep the USA as she is, the proud, the free and the home of the brave. Not the nation that has open door policy, (Hey everyone we don't care how many come over and take over our nation, just walk right thru the door and its yours for the taking)  come on, whats next? This is our America, our country, not theirs, they already have their own, why give ours up so easily?

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!

I hope it's a very long tunnel .... :(  I'm sorry, but with all this shouting racist by most people who either are illegal immigrants, or for some mysterious reason pro illegal immigration, one can't but help feeling a bit peeved ... to say the least ... I mean, since when did it become racist to want to protect the borders and uphold the law of the land?

I've heard similar.\n\nI heard that they're looking to allow professionals to emigrate, but make it harder for others.\n\nIn other words they only want to let in people that are gonna improve their economy, or their health service, etc...

How can you be a racist for not wanting ANY ILLEGAL PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY....GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD, THEY BROKE OUR AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAWS BY COMING HERE, then they say Mexico is so GREAT, If it is so GREAT, GET THE H-LL OUT OF THE U.S.A.   I can see being proud of your heritage, but if you were SO impressed with Mexico, then why did you come HERE??   GET THE F-CK OUT, GO BACK TO THE SO CALLED GREAT LAND OF MEXICO.............and YES, I expect to be called a racist for stating a proven fact, I lived in the barrio of San Jose CA....This is not only to Mexicans, all illegal immigrants....It is just the majority are Mexican...

You know, that is so funny that you posted this.  I posted a question just like this and people called ME a racist and I am an immigrant from the Ukraine!  I am not even WHITE!!!  I posted the websites for hispanics for legal immigration, Vietnamese for immigration reform, etc.\nHEre's a letter from a retired Border Patrol Agent who had the balls to say it like it is!\nA retired border patrol agent shows some common sense\n\n    This letter sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border \npatrol agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being spewed \nfrom the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible representatives.\n\n    Dear Senator Frist:\n\n    There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal \naliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran \naliens.\n\n    #1.\n    Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are \nvery vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen. \nMexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home \ncountries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as \nemployment, medical care, in-state tuition, government subsidized housing \nand free education for their offspring. Their main attraction is employment \nand their loyalty usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and \nsubsidized by middle class Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits \nof American residence without paying the price.\n\n    #2.\n    There are no jobs that Americans won't do. Illegal aliens are doing jobs \nthat Americans can't take and still support their families. Illegal aliens \ntake low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence home, share expenses \nand send money to their home country. There are no jobs that Americans won't \ndo for a decent wage.\n\n    #3.\n    Every person who illegally entered this nation left a home. They are NOT \nhomeless and they are NOT Americans. Some left jobs in their home countries. \nThey come to send money to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 \nbillion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens. These \nillegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of \nthe law and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation. Those \nwho brought their alien children assumed the responsibility and risk on \nbehalf of their children.\n\n    #4.\n    Illegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy. Illegal aliens \nconstitute less than 5% of the workforce. However, they reduce wages and \nbenefits for lawful U.S. residents.\n\n    #5.\n    This is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born \nAmericans. While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by \nimmigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not a nation on \nthis planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another.\n\n    #6.\n    The United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are \nnot immigrants by definition. The U.S. accepts more lawful immigrants every \nyear than the rest of the world combined.\n\n    #7.\n    There is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote". Hispanics are white, \nbrown, black and every shade in between. Hispanics are Republicans, \nDemocrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents. The so-called \n"Hispanic vote" is a myth. Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic \nvote is a dead end.\n\n    #8.\n    Mexico is NOT a friend of the United States. Since 1848 Mexicans have \nresented the United States. During World War I Mexico allowed German Spies \nto operate freely in Mexico to spy on the U.S. During World War II Mexico \nallowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S. from Mexico. During the Cold War \nMexico allowed spies hostile to the U.S. to operate freely. The attack on \nthe Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today \nMexican

We're not trying to end immigration...just illegal immigration. And once all of the current illegal immigrants are made legal...let's not kid our selves...that's where we're heading...they're going to want to stop other people from coming here illegally, because they'll see that their newly found validity affords them rights and a more decent pay, but that they are going to be competing with those coming behind them that will be willing to work for less. It's a never ending cycle, folks...where WILL we draw the line?

racist want white supremacy, the people you and I encounter with want illegals out because they think they are avoiding the law, which might be true, but still they don't know of any hardships these people go through when risking their lives to cross the border. I am not making excuses for them but realistically how are they going to point out all illegals? Hard workers who are illegals come here to do what their little prissy hands won't, and they say illegals are taking their jobs. i highly doubt they and their ancesstors sprung from US soil, literally.

I am pretty sure that they dont want a "lawless nation" they want better immigration! The government has to let more in, then they wont have to come in illegally.
