You do realize that this whole illegal immigrant thing is just a bunch of BS to divert our attention from...?

Only half in jest,you're entitled to your wrong opinion.seriously, Iraq has\nbeen a big problem for a few years,& we are probably taking a butt  whipping.Vietnam,redux.But I strongly disagree that the border/illegals thing is a non issue.Back in 1986, there was an amnesty declared for all the millions of illegals that had snuck over the border. The arguments back then were similar(with the exception of terrorism).Some things are still true-illegals still take some jobs that americans dont want. But they also take jobs that we can & will do. FYI, reps from the govts of honduras, guatemala and mexico expressed displeasure about our border security & said our policies violated the human & working rights of citizens of these countries. READ THAT LAST SENTENCE AGAIN. Mexican border guards kill guatemalan illegals by the truckload, then mexico complains about US??? IS THIS THE UNITED STATES OR Los Estados Unidos De Mexico y America Central???

believe us we are we are beating ourselves up for letting it get this bad , lol as far as tv goes all i see is tear jerker stories about the poor illegals . our side is hardly covered but that doesn't matter because most Americans are sick of illegals come legal or not at all.  and i think the media is starting to catch up with the rest of us. it  could have been all that demanding and stupid move to change the national anthem , or flag thing ? or could  it be old news is no news anyway i would like ask you the same question no criticism about mexico strange

Immigrants are great, but these are ILLEGAL ALIENS.  It looks to me like a great opportunity for INS to find all these lawbreakers in one place and initiate arrests.  With our being told which companies HAD to shut down completely or partially, that the Attorney General, Homeland Security, or whomever is responsible for fining companies who do hire illegal aliens, really just have a list now that they can follow. \n\nThe protest offended, but didn't really affect me, or the town in which I live.  The following things bothered me:\na.  these protests were for ILLEGAL ALIENS, NOT regular immigrants.  Their PR machine was great in blurring the lines here.\n\nb.  The Mexican flags were still very prominent.\n\nc.  I was soooo tired of seeing all the posters written in Spanish!!!!!!  And the signs that were translated to English were often very critical of this counry that they claim to love so much.\n\nd.  One of the organizers, last name Rodriguez I think, was on some TV shows the day before.  He made very negative comments about the U.S. in general.  It seemed he was leading up to the one comment that made me wonder about the REAL agenda.....he said, paraphrasing, that the southern part of the U.S. was STOLEN from Mexico, and that the people just wanted to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.  Okay, we did fight and confiscate land way back in our early history......but wasn't just about every country formed by gaining land from somebody??  \n\ne.  The whole thing would have been so much less significant, had our media simply refused to give these demonstrations wall to wall media coverage!!\n\nf.  Do these illegal aliens have the constitutional right to assemble like this?  This is just a question I wondered about.......they are not citizens.\n\ng.  IF these folks are really protesting for rights, better conditions, etc., well, I can't help but be curious as to why they don't just demonstrate in their own countries where conditions must be worse.  Couldn't they use this energy to focus on problems at home?\n\nh.  I can't help but wonder WHEN the LEGAL CITIZENS of the U.S. will step up to the plate, care enough to organize as efficiently as these folks, and take our voices and opinions to the streets, all the way to Washington D.C.\n\nWhew, got some of that off my chest!  I understand the plight of these illegal aliens, and this IS a country of immigrants, but it's also a county of laws.  What do you think would happen to us if thousands of U.S. citizens decided to sneak into Mexico, Colombia, Venzuela, Russia, China, etc., and march on their capitols & make demands for rights while waving American flags and speaking mainly English?  How about trying that in Cuba or Iran?  \n\nWelcome to all immigrants, just do it LEGALLY!  We do have a process in place for that.  Many of us feel that we and our country are being greatly disrespected by the ILLEGAL ALIENS. (I am ever so tired of the term "undocumented workers"..............does that mean that we citizens can drive around freely with no drivers' licenses, and simply be "undocumented drivers"?  Political correctness can get way out of hand.\n\nI just about forgot one other thing that burns me, and that's the so-called Spanish version of our National Anthem!  This is not a translation, the lyrics are totally different.  This is the United States.  We speak English.  A common language is necessary for assimilation.  And our National Anthem should be sung in English!  What's next, translating our Constitution, the Pledge of Allegience, etc??

well, foreingers are okay, illegal aliens aren't.  and seeing as how they themselves are illegal, everything they do is illegal from that point on.  Illegal shopping.  Illegal eating. Illegal sleeping.

I'm with YOU!!!! And as for the OTHER two people on here (we ALL know who the two are, it's the same old two step!) They, and others like them,can't see the TRUTH about illegals,because they are totally CLUELESS when it comes to the FACTS,about why the MAJORITY of Americans are ANTIillegal!!!!!!!!!!!

The NANNY dropped it?? You think its somkind of payback for this Immigration thing?What if all the illegal immigrant nannys drop all the kids of rich people on the on their heads at the same time!!!!We would be a country of idiots!!!

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.

No. It's not worth the hassle of going thru the charade.  \nPretending for Immigration is a full time job.  You have to become a professional liar to get and keep your story straight.  Not worth it!

Its the title Illegals they don't like-that is the turn-off. Didn't you read your last posts?

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?

This is some of what you are seeing in the news today about securing our borders, and prosecuting illegal immigration.  One of the new bills broached would actually scope in on the traffickers of illegal immigrants.  I hope it goes through, but other than some low budget movies there is not much publicity on the subject.  It should be paid more attention....and if you really care about the subject you will be the one to bring the attention.  Do some research, write a paper, and get it published...it's that simple.

HAHA...\n\nMy Idea Exactly...\n\nOr MAYBE WE SHOULD LAY DOWN A MINE FIELD TO STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION...

I have seen those types on here too. One of them, when she doesn't have a response, just says "don't believe everything you read". With the huge amount of data showing that illegal immigration hurts more than it helps, it is amazing that people living in America can still support it. These people are fighting for illegal behavior. These are undoubtedly the same people who lean on their horn when someone cuts them off on the highway. they are hypocrites.

Whatever it was it probably needed sinking.We all need to made aware of Illegal Immigration.I think you can place Illegal Immigration on the same level as Pearl Harbor.  Talked about it for years and then Boom.We've been talking about it for years. Everyone knows what happens when you awake a sleeping giant.It's history people.

You make the same mistake others are, regarding this issue.  The word ILLEGAL is conveniently being forgotten.

hmmm.....don't see many of the regulars answering this question/statement do you.\n\nanother aspect of this immigration topic we have yet to pick the scab off.\n\nI love it.\n\nOh but I have to add....they are all going to post quickly with "illegal".....though that had nothing to do with the question.....that is going to be your basic answer.\n\nLMAO\n\ngood post!
