None of that sounds like they are doing anything bad. You should stop being racist and leave them alone. The fact is that you DONT know if they are legal or not! I hate people like you, you are a horrible neighbor! Mind your own damned business!

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??

Those who demonize illegal aliens are ignorant. I have a very serious problem with illegals in this country - and those who hire them knowingly - but I have never demonized them. \n\nI respect the fact that they are trying to provide a better life for themselves and families, but do it legally. I have to do things legally, why shouldn't they? Quite frankly, if they pay all the same taxes on their income that I do, let them stay but start the process of becoming legal.

In denial!  They seem to think that it is quiet alright for them to commit a crime of being illegal.  The just do not understand exactly that being an illegal is committing a crime.  There is just no legal or common sense reasons why they want to illegally immigrate.  If their supporters are so into supporting them, why don't the supporters get together, financially, and help them better their lives in the country where they are from and not in this country as illegals.

In my humble opinion, it is the illegal aliens that are playing with fire. The Minute Men have become very popular in the last few months. They don't accually catch and hold illegals rather they report the invaders to the border patrol.

u know their illegal right?

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

Yeah, we all support them with the money we are forced by taxation to pay to meet their needs while they live tax free. And no, I don't want to support them because it lessen the amount of cash I have to support myself. What part of illegal doesn't our government understand? They need to be arrested, prosecuted and then ship them home pronto! Otherwise every American person arrested for an 'illegal' act should sue for wrongful detainment/discrimination.

Are you American?  If not, your opinion is like an arsehole we all have one.  If you are NOT American, how would you feel if the did it to yours?  \n\nI will not ever support the illegal aliens of any country that is trying to get a free ride into my country.  You shouldn't either!!!

That sounds like my situation. \nSupport what you agree with, not what you feel like you have to have allegiance to, be that your country or your family. Personally, I don't think you have to choose. The illegals don't want to be illegal, that's the point of all the political movements going on lately. They want to be citizens. So you can support America, support your right toward free speech and freedom of demonstration, and support your family all at the same time, without it being a contradiction.
588052
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 feel badly that they spent money, risked their lives and came all the way to the home of the free and the brave looking for the American dream, only to be arrested for doing so. It sucks for them. It really does. However, I also fully and wholeheartedly support the efforts of the INS and any other law enforcement agency who "sweeps away" illegal immigrants. There is immigration, and ILLEGAL immigration. There is a difference. There is a reason. I support immigration. My grandparents immigrated here not only from other countries, but other continents.Legally. My wife is an immigrant. She came here legally. My best friend married a lady he met and fell in love with while on deployment. Then had to extend his tour of duty in a war zone for 2 years waiting for permission to bring her here. Legally. Channels. Law. Rules. Regulations. I broke the law once. I went to prison for 4 years. I ask no one to feel sorry for me. And I find it hard to feel sorry for those who have to pay whatever the price may be for their own crimes. In this case, the crime is the same as tresspassing. If I enter your home without permission, I'm breaking the law. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER. The only thing that saddens me, is that they were here illegally in the first place. They could have followed the rules, and lived without fear of retribution, arrest, and deportation.

I think you already know...but here goes...\n\nI support the illegal immigrants because our immigration laws are messed up, because we have become an exclusive resort. All other countries are inclusive, we discriminate against people due to the amount of money they have...and sadly the economies of other countries are not great.

Absolutely!! Either party if they supported Amnesty aka allowing criminals to stay(illegals are breaking the law and as such are criminals)will not get my vote and I will be sure to share info about all representatives voting records for this area with all neighbors,family and friends,not getting any votes from here:)

Those of you who sympathize with the illegal immigrants are thinking with your hearts. Do you think for one minute that I have no heart? I do, but I have to think with my brain. If I were them, I'd come here, too. But the fact of the matter is that these people are breaking the law by their mere presence.\n\nTo those of you who say that they are only here to do the jobs that no one else would do. THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE!!! My father was put out of business by them!!!! He was a private contractor/painter. They charge so little for their spray paint jobs on people's homes, and they are able to do that because they have no liscence to do contractor work and no insurance and pay no business or income taxes...their costs are lower because of these things. And do any of you know any high school students who would like a weekend/evening job but can't get one at McDonald's, etc? I do! And many other places that would have hired them in the past just don't, because they can hire undocumented ILLEGAL workers. And let's not forget that they don't come here alone...or if they do, they soon send for their family...wife and 4 or 5 or 6 kids...or maybe they just bring 2 and have the other 3 or 4 here on TAXPAYER MONEY!!!! And then we have to provide healthcare and education to them!!!!\n\nI don't think that these women who stay home with their kids are lazy. I TOO AM A STAY AT HOME MOM...and I do realize that many view it as a luxury. The problem is that they have babies at our expense. They file for MEDI-CAL (here in Calif. that's the publicly funded "insurance" for poor people...and my family doesn't make enough money to afford insurance, but we don't make little enough to qualify for this, but if someone with no papers walks into the office and says "I'm illegal and have no papers," they are not turned away, they are given a plastic card that entitles them to VISION, DENTAL, HEALTH, HOSPITALIZATION, and PRESCRIPTION BENEFITS that my family cannot even afford, and how is it being funded? MY HUSBAND'S PAYCHECK!! They get food stamps, section 8 (almost free housing) and crowd our Head Start (free preschool) and public schools.\nYou say that they improve the economy? The only people benefiting are business owners, the rich moviestars and CEO's who can afford them as nannies and gardeners and can afford to go to the car wash and out to dinner, and the rest of us have to suffer living among them and sending our kids to overcrowded failing schools!\n\nThat's the reality of it.\n\nHey, abbby23 (BELOW): I don't suck, and I'm not ignorant of history, but Mexico's ownership of California and other South Western States is just that: HISTORY! Does Mexico want it back? For what? It can't even take care of the states it has, that's why you guys are all coming here! You think I don't know that I am from immigrants? Of course I do! But don't pretend that you (I'm assuming you're Mexican, because of something you say, but if not, no harm intended) aren't half immigrant in your blood...yep, read your history, girl, your daddy came to this continent and raped yo mamma!! don't like to think of it that way, do you? The point, anyway is that this is NOW, CURRENTLY, and FOREVER a LAND OF LAWS. IF YOU WANT TO COME HERE, WHY NOT FOLLOW THE LAWS. I will admit that I feel a little bit guilty, seeing that I know and love quite a few Illegal Immigrants...but the opinion I'm voicing here is from the point of view of what is best for the U.S.A. not for the people I know. Naturally, I don't want my husband's uncle - who is here illegally (not to mention his wife and two of his daughters, and several of my husband's cousins, etc.) I don't really want them deported. They're great, hardworking people. But the citizens of this country need to draw the line and get people to follow the laws. If I blatantly broke laws like Illegal

Too many!! It is irrelevant to the issue now. We have too many illegal aliens in our country, now, today, 2006 and we need to put a stop to it and deport those here. There has to be a stopping point to the law being abused. That time has come.
