GLOBALIZATION\n\nThe politicians are being bribed to destroy America, we call these bribes campaign contributions. Monied interests who want to unify the Western Hemisphere into a single trade bloc from Canada to Chile have been supporting politicians who will make laws and policy decisions to bring about this goal. For years the ground work has quietly been laid, NAFTA, lax border enforcement, foreign aid to developing nations to impoversh those nations and make them subject to foreign money manipulation.\n\nWith the flood of illegals in the US the main opposition to this trade bloc, the US middle class, is being eliminated. Soon the middle class will vanish and there will be no group with the political will to resist the New World order being constructed against our interests.\n\nSo by allowing this massive influx of people into our nation it will destroy the middle class and stop the opposition for these trade blocs and ultimatly a New World Order.

The govment was afraid that lots of people'd end up without clean toilets and grannies and grandpas wouldn't move around their homes anymore. Plus that they'd have to fine all those employers who hired the illegal immigrants- imagine it was someone who funded their campaigns!\n\nCan't be too careful these days, perhaps another Abramov indictment on their hands.

I think things have become much more tense since the Immigration March a month ago.  The immigrants see the move to deport illegals as insulting--rightly or wrongly--and the whites are resentful of the demands made on them.  Things will get worse.  But the short answer is that they don't want to go back because they know life will be worse for them if they do.

I think it showed that they have no allegience to the US, or else they would not intentionally try to harm the economy.  However, I don't think they did...and this business about protesting until the government gives them their way...sounds like a temper tantrum to me..and one that needs to be stopped.  And this does not make me racist...it makes me sensible..illegal is illegal, period.  And to the people who are going to talk about the laws 200 years ago...times have changed, laws have changed.. Check out citizenship laws in Mexico...they don't allow illegal immigrants, much less give them drivers lisences, translate all into a foreign language for their convenience, or allow them to protest.

NO. MEXICANS WOULD FORCE US TO LEARN SPANISH AND LEARN MEXICAN HISTORY, WORST YET, THEY WOULD HAVE ALL OF US DEPORTED, FASTER THAN WE CAN SAY "I AM ONLY HERE FOR A BETTER LIFE."

I ABSOLUTELY believe that now is the time to make it official.  If we don't do it now, there will be too many Mexicans and others that may change it.  If we do it now, it will be ensured forever and it will be all over with.  Good question

Because some people just couldn't let go of the past and move on to the future. That is why racisim still persists to this day.

As those who rule what is now Mexico conquered lands from those who preceded them, the United States conquered lands that those who rule Mexico in the 1840s.  A major difference today is the way the two governments treat immigrants, that is legal immigrants.  \n\nVisitors and immigrants to Mexico are absolutely outsiders virtually forever, the Mexican government intent is to not assimilate them into their society.  In the United States the intent is to assimilate them into our society as rapidly as possible.  The only challenge is that of legality of the immigrant.  The current challenge is that the numbers of those who have come to the United States have swelled to unheard of numbers and most are undocumented immigrants.  These individuals are (for the most part) needed as part of the united States economy but should be “documented” both for the good of the United States and the immigrant (e.g., to get a living wage and benefits).  The reason for this is the way that Mexico is treating its own poor, that is, empowering them to leave for subsistent income.  \n\nSolutions will be found to address and solve the undocumented nature of the immigrant challenge and to control the increasing influx of such immigrants.  As that occurs, assimilation will occur as the younger people will become more a part of the cultures within the United States and while they will remain proud of their heritage, most will opt to remain in the United States (becoming full citizens) rather than return to areas of Mexico with less opportunity for their children.\n\nThe solutions to this are primarily two areas.  One is to control the border so that assimilation can occur are a easy pace and, to assist Mexico to change their economy so that these individuals will remain in their own country because of increased opportunity.  The United States might be able to assist with this by creating incentives for U. S. based companies which have developed branches in other countries to move those branches to Mexico.  This will assist creating new opportunities in Mexico developing a strong middle class with increasing purchasing power which will increase a more balanced trade between the United States and Mexico.  This type of goal is attainable because the Mexican people are intelligent and hard working with a desire for a better future.  The only question is, will the rulers of Mexico allow such a development.\n\nConsider the ultimate result of such a program, The three countries (with differences) Canada, Mexico, and the United States, increasingly working together as a block.  This would eventually draw in other Central American, Caribbean, and South American countries into a Western trading bloc unmatchable across the world.  \n\nWhile all such things as the current situation cause concern and challenges, they should be viewed as opportunities to develop new directions to ultimately enhance individual liberties.

because of the billions of dollars  sent back from the usa by these same poor  peoples to the Mexican government for their families . it's a win win situation for this corrupt Mexican government

That's a loaded question. Illegal immigrants of all races are deported. Mexicans and Americans of Mexican descent are not targeted. A lot of the illegal immigrants that come through do happen to come from Mexico.

This is just a guess. You may try with the Mexican government as many of the Spanish came there from Mexico and not directly from Spain.

According to a recent report on BBC TV it seems that some of them are facing having to leave the country as they do not have 'permanent leave to remain' on any basis other than their work. If the work permit is taken away (as it has apparently been in some cases) they may face deportation. \n\nHowever there are certainly protests being held, and the situation may change as the morality and legality, not to say lack of 'joined-up government', of the politicians' actions is challenged.

yes, but the house shouldn't be fooled with 'you get what you want now, we'll get what we want later', it's the same thing.\n\nFelony convictions, deportation, even more laws to strip citizenship.  If they want immigration, fine, but not unlimited or uncontrolled legal immigration.  There must be an objective study or studies done on what and who and how many types of legal immigrations there should be that subjectivity and bias are kept out of the results as best as possible.
