Do you agree that illegal immigrants (and their supporters) only prove our point more when they call us names?

BEING BLACK I SEE MANY GROUPS OF PEOPLE (NOT JUST BY RACE)LIKEN THEMSELVES AND THEIR STRUGGLE TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, BUT IT'S NEVER THE SAME, WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW THEY CAN EVEN ACT LIKE BEING IN THIS COUNTRY IS THEIR RIGHT, WHEN THEY ARE WRONG FOR EVEN BEING HERE

NOT ME!!!! I do NOT care what i am called,because i KNOW that "race has nothing to do with the way i feel about ILLEGALS!!!!! The mexican people that i know,are LEGAL citizens,who love the United States,as i do!!! They came here legally, they work and pay taxes,and pay their OWN medical!!! They do NOT even own a mexican flag,or if they do, they don't FLAUNT it in my face!!!\n Am i afraid to speak out??? HECK NO!!!!\nDo some think we're wimps??DON'T KNOW,DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ONLY reason that illegals and their supporters call everyone "racist",is because,they have NO OTHER defense for the CRIMINAL ACTIONS of illegals!!!! Don't let it get to you!! Just remember the SOURCE!!

I bet you if we weren't so strong and say Mexico or Cuba were regional powers, they'd deport us on the spot, right? But since we're the power, they come crying to us saying "don't be cruel, think about us". Double standard? Yes, definitely. The reason why we have many illegals is that we're too generous. But if we hasd illegals go to their backyards, I'd bet you they'd have fits!! We don't deport them maybe because we feel sorry about them.

Hey i completely agree with you man.  i'm sick and tired of listening to liberals complain about what is wrong and make excuses for everything they screw up.\n\nI say we deport them with the rest of the illegal aliens.  Liberals seem to cause more problems then the illegals

You're absolutely correct!  Ans people fail to realize the extent to which these "illegals" make all of our lives easier. I hope they continue to boycott and protest.

I am a legal immigrant and I respect the laws of US as much as US respects the laws of my country. Why should we immitate the  aliens' cheap way of proving that Americans aren't that smart to raise America's economy without their illegal presence? \n\nAmericans fought hard to claim this country and be the dominant one. Illegal immigrants have to help their own countries first before proving something to the Americans. \n\nAmericans don't have to march/ protest because this is your own country. Just live on and kick the illegal immigrants out.\n\nIf there will be a protest against the illegals, it should be on Thanksgiving Day, celebrate the important day of Americans.

That sounds more like a statement than a question, but here's my response. We have only ourselves to blame for not defending the borders. The illegals are just trying to make a living doing honest work. They are the hardest working people I have ever seen. People like that deserve respect. President Bush has a practical solution in his guest worker program. As a country, we need to demonstrate that we belong to the human race. \n\nIf we want to keep illegal immigrants out, then we have to defend the borders. Not defending the borders is like putting up a Welcome sign. How can we blame desperately poor people for wanting to come here for a better life? We can't. They're hard-working people, not terrorists, for crying out loud.

No, because between what they have stolen from me and what I've given, I think that I have given enough.\nDon't use the innocent children act on me either, these people did not care one bit about what they took from my children, or anyone elses children that they continue to steal from.\nAking for help is one thing, but taking advantage is another.\nI was raised that you work hard, and earn what you recieve, and as a citizen in the state of Texas, I have helped to feed, clothe, and provide electric for fans to cool their homes that have no electric service.  I did this because I thought it was the right thing to do, but as I discovered, helping people that will not help themselves, and will only run and cowar, from their home land is a mistake.\nCall me racist, you have a right to your opinion, and I have a right to mine.  And, from many of the posts that I have seen, it appears to be mostly supporters of illegal aliens that are exhibiting the most racism, against Americans of all colors.\nIllegal aliens are criminals, and thieves that steal their way across the border, with only one goal in mind, stealing from Americans what they have earned.\nAll illegal immigrants are criminals, and there are more than just Mexicans crossing the Texas border, I assure you.\nIllegal Immigration is a false term.  These are illegal aliens, if they were immigrants they would not have breached our borders, and broken how many laws in their country, and ours.  They are traitors to their own nations by abandoning it, and not fighting for thier own rights, like Americans have been doing for more than 200 years.  I do not want these kinds of people in my homeland.  Nor, does any American that I know, encluding my American Mexican husband, that would never put any nation before America.\nIn Pennysilvania there is a politican that is actually showing some back bone on this issue, because his citizen's demanded it.  Illegal immigrants maybe able to defraud the American people through votes, but we have not counted on that system for years.\nWe take it straight to the politicians, because we know that a boycott won't even raise an eyebrow, it just angers the people.\n  \nAngel Hatley\nMother of Steven Hatley

Wildfl0wer seems to be on this kick that since the US is the land of the free with justice for all that illegals can march into the country and do whatever the hell they feel like. Sadly, this common viewpoint, is however wrong. And very much so. \n\nNo, we are not all immigrants, no we did not all immigrate to the US at one point in time. Most africans were brought here as slaves, while quite a few irish and other caucasian nationalities were brought over as cheap labor or indentured servants. Others are descendents from the multitude of families that were the original founding families of this nation. In all cases that doesn't make them immigrants. This is just an ignorant pro-immigration arguement that is as tired as the day is long...\n\nYes, we would pick fruit and clean houses. Guess what, prior to the surge of illegal immigration and cheap under-the-table labor that the criminals(and you are criminals, you broke the law by coming here) brought to the states American citizens preformed those jobs on a daily basis. Don't believe you're special just because your people now seem to have the perverbial market cornered on that type of labor industry. We did it before, and I guarentee you that there are legal US citizens right now who would be damned happy to have that job.\n\nAnd onto the topic at hand, do these criminals have a right to protest? No, they do not. They have no rights as far as I'm concerned. They've done nothing to earn any rights or privledges other then the cost of a tank of gas to export them back to where they came from. \n\nIf we were to protest in half the countries that illegals come from we would be jailed or worse. \n\nAnd don't fool yourselves, when you're crying out against any sort of law that is pre-established by the governing system you are in fact protesting against that very government because they were the ones to make it. Don't try to cop an excuse that you're not protesting the government, just the law because they are the same thing. Any other belief is a fallacy of logic.\n\nUntil you have a green card that says you're a citizen, you have no rights or freedoms granted by the contstitution. And depending on your line of work, even then they don't apply to you. What gives me the right to even say this? Freedom of speech, because I *AM* a US citizen. And my job gives me the right because every day I go out to defend it against the people of this world who would like nothing more then to see America in ashes. \n\nI, personally, am tired of tax payer dollars wasted on those who don't pay taxes. The money spent to educate these criminals has much better potential of use by making changes and reforms in our existing education system and raising that to a level that's comprable to the rest of the world. Quit wasting money on illegals, put it to good use teaching our legal children.

I certainly agree with you. I asked a question earlier to those legals how they can concur with the illegals. Didn't get much of a response, though.  Keep the faith. Thanks for all you did.  United we Stand, Divided we Fall.\n\nWe all need to stand strong together.

Perhaps because they see it as if the person calling them names is not respecting their position of authority.  However, at the same time, if you are not acting violent or as if you  are going to cause them harm, I still think that we as citizens have Freedom of speech to express our opinions.

This is the big problem with the Mexican argument for legalizing illegals in the US... they say that we are an immigrant nation BUT what they don´t consider is that, for example, my German, Irish, Russian and French ancestors came to the US and became AMERICANS... they learned English, didn´t send all the money they made back to their home country and didn´t consider themselves still of their original country... these illegals and otherwise legal immigrants still root for Mexico in soccer games!  They don´t consider themselves Americans but want our rights and our benefits, at our expense!!! This is not fair to us.  We have nothing to gain.  They are not entitled to the rights of US citizens - they are breaking the law.

Apparently not...from what the illegals and their sympathizers tell us.

Great question but you will not get a rational answer to support illegals.  Pro illegals will give you the same old arguments (which don't hold water), and you'll be called a racist.
1055235
What the heck are you talking about?\nI can make my own mind up about whom and what I want to be racist about.  It has nothing to do with the people that came before me.  And stop using racism as an excuse as to why people are against illegal immigration.

yes they are  A Bunch of Hypocrites\n\ni think we should adopt some of their immigration border polices !

I am hispanic, and I implore you to cast aside any idea that we should give amensty to ANY illegal immigrant.  We must stay true to the ideal of rule of law and fairness, and 20 million illegal immigrants have turned their back on that ideal.  They should not be rewarded.
