Fire them on the spot! Even if they are supporting illegal immigration, but are a legal U.S. citizen...they are still saying criminal activity against my country is ok. Why would I want someone with that mind-set working for my legitimate business? Hell no!

poor girl!! People say that this is a illegal immigration issue not a racist issue, but people make it a racist issue when they make comments like "All Mexicans are stealing lazy a$$es" how can you debate with those kind of comments and say it's just a illegal immigration issue?I call BULL SH*T. and agree with you!!

Truth is illegal mexican workers are "the new slaves" like black people were at one point.There is a high demand of illegal workers and Thats why they are here! People want to pay for cheap labor and thats why they are here. But why just focus on one group??? what about the italian illegal immigrants? and what about the germans? and the polish? and the chinese? or japanese? my point is that people discriminate against only the mexican workers and then (and this bothers me a lot) they come off saying "OH I'm part german and part ecuatorian and part this and part that" Your ancestors were immigrants too at one point or another FACE IT! Unless you have 100% indian and only indian (native american) from before the british got here indian You come from an immigrant background. I think they deserve a chance ONLY if they want to STAy here and learn the language and pay taxes and not borders hop,work and then go back. If they want to truly become american citizens I say YOU DESERVE IT!! and YOU SHOULD GET A CHANCE!!

Si, mi amigo, yo consento con usted. But at the same time the people that hire the illegals are sonegating taxes and taking the opportunities of those there are legal, the employers know that they can pay these people under minimum wage and they have not to pay benefits. I understand that their respective countries are not the best thing in the planet, but you know what, they are DEMANDING things(protests and isultingactions) from the government, and I am sorry it is not the U.S.' job to be the babysitter of the planet. I also agree that they wnat to better their lives, but there is a Legal way to do so, hentz  immigration laws and procedures.I had to do itthe legal way so can they!!\n\np.s.: It is unconceivable to think that in a country with 240+ million people you will not be able to fill up the jobs of those 19+ milion that right now are illegal here! \nLets use an example: 50 years ago before there were so many illegal immigrants in the country some of those jobs done by them right now had to be done by americans. And you know what? there are no reports of people complaining about the prices of vegetables , landscaping- illegals work construction- (which I may say, real state is overvalued right now, but that is a different argument).And more, the employers hire illegals so that they can maxime their marginal revenue, not because they want to charge less money from you.

I've had the chance to work with "legals" that come to the USA seasonally to earn an honest decent living...and I can tell you that they really really appreciate being here and they want to do nothing to hinder their chances of coming back year to year...so the "legals" are really upset with the illegals as they risk messing up a good thing for those who have paid the price to get here and to work here by following all the laws....they believe the illegals will force the USA to shut down the borders and they would all be the poorer....yes they do see the need to control the borders....

Illegal immigration. A very serious problem right now. We are being invaded, and for some reason we aren't stopping it. These illegal aliens are draining away at all of the public services that WE PAY TAXES FOR! The citizens of the U.S. pay the taxes, whilst these invaders do not. They are like leeches - and we are doing nothing to peel them off.\n\n1. They get free medical care from American hospitals.\n2. They get free food from various charities!\n\n\nBut, of course, the things that they get are not really free. Maybe for them they are, but someone is paying for them. Someone is paying for these unlawful citizens to abuse the system. The people paying for these undeserving illegal immigrants are the citizens of the United States.\n\nAnother thing - it's absolute idiocy that these invaders are calling the lawful citizens of America racists. Since when does standing up for your country make you a racist? It makes you a patriotic person!  But, in this case, it seems that some mindless sympathizers have fallen for the illegals nonsensical argument. They are actually convinced that they are racists for not supporting these people! But the very people they are supporting are draining away our culture and destroying our economy! It seems that the sympathizers want to kill our country! At the current rate of immigration, the states near the border will become majorly Mexican and will probably start demanding to join a state like Texas or California back into Mexico! If these invaders keep on coming, It will no longer be the United States of America.\n\nIt's absurd that some of the Mexicans believe that this is their country. They say that it has been their homeland for 40,000 years. They say that they are not illegal if it is their land. They tell the law-abiding people to read the history books and find out that it is their land. My history book says that we won Texas and other states from Mexico in a war. It is ours.\n\nHeres another argument that although seems reasonable, has many flaws. Some people believe that illegals are helping our economy by providing cheap labor for employers. This is true, but the money they make is not circulated back into the economic system. It's going back to Mexico. And, as the illegals pay no taxes, they aren't helping much there either. These illegals are not benefiting the system - they are destroying it.\n\n\nHere are my solutions to the problem:\n\n1. Deport illegal aliens as soon as they are found.\n2. Build a wall. The Great Wall helped the Chinese against the Mongolians. The wall that we have to build will help us with the criminal invaders that are the Mexican illegal immigrants.\n3. Talk to Vincente Fox and demand that he stops giving his people pamphlets on how to get in the U.S.A. illegally. It is happening, and it is a huge problem. Vincente Fox is a terrorist!\n4. Punish companies that hire illegal immigrants severely. If the illegals have no incentive to come, they won't come. Simple as that.\n\n\n\nEducation: $22.5 billion\nBilingual Education: $3.3 billion\nAFDC: $2.4 billion\nSSI: $2.9 billion\nSocial Security: $24.8 billion\nHousing Assistance: $2.6 billion\nCriminal Justice: $2.6 billion\nJobs Lost by Americans: $10.8 billion\nOther Programs: $51.4 billion\nFood Stamps: $7 billion\nHealth Care: $1.4 billion\n$131.7 billion annually. More than the War in Iraq has cost us annually. In fact, about twice as much. We've been in Iraq for 3 years. It has cost us about 277,000,000,000. Illegal immigrants have cost us 131,700,000,000 a year. And, that number will rise at the current rate of illegal immigration.\nWar protestors are always complaining that we've spent too much on the war - well, look at how much we've spent on illegal immigrants.

the illegal ones have no right to be here ....PERIOD !!\n It is an insult to the many who have gone through the legal channels...try to get into Mexico illegally and steal their jobs,health care,governament grants,change their language & all their road signs and see were it lands you.\n I am not racist....I just believe the USA has allowed way too many to come here illegally....a few years ago a Cuban boy ,in Florida,was taken by the SWAT team,sent by sweetheart Rino...and sent back to Cuba to a father he didn't really know....how much money was wasted on all that?\n The people who are REALLY discriminated against are the Christians...they are not even allowed to display a nativity scene at Christmas time ?? The 10 Commandments are a hate crime...say God bless you and you offend someone...I just wonder how much money & time our nation has watsed on all this...when our nation was founded for the Christains to have the freedom to worship,without the government stepping in and controlling the churches....Seperation of Church & State was written so that wouldn't happen..yet it's turned & twisted now to make it the church HAS to OBEY the courts(governmentally ...appointed judges) or be sent to jail,fined,told they are "haters".....Now that's REAL discrimination in action !!\n Round up all those with Visas and those who are here legally,put a VeriChip in them...to keep track of their expired status....when it's up...home they go....the ones who can not prove they have a LEGAL right to be here...send them back home.helping the leagl Americans find a job....it's .cheaper than suporting them with free medical treatment,housing & food....which every hard working tax payers has to pay for...while our own LEGAL citizens go without.

I have no problem with legal immigrants, they make America well...America. However, illegal immigrants are clearly breaking the laws and should be treated as such. But, what makes me most upset is that they break the law and are given benefits that citizens are not even given. This is not fair, they are stealing from America.

its not illegal if they do it the legal way. there is a process that needs to be done to immigrate to the US. These millions of people who come here illegally every year are cutting in line in front of another thousand or so who are trying to come here the legal way. All counties have policies on immigration, not just the US. Do you think that it is easy for an American top immigrate to Mexico? NO they are worse then here

Your point is?  \n\nThey are not Citizens of the United States. If we are discussing illegal immigrants who are Mexicans, they clearly didn't want to stay in Mexico, they wanted to come to the United States of America. If you are trying to use a word game as a claim to citizenship entitlement, you are just being silly.

There is a vast difference between legal immigrants and illegal aliens. This country has some of the softest rules about applying for citizenship or temporary status compared to other countries. When someone comes here and does the right thing they are in a different group as the people who come here illegally and break the law. They should NOT be on the same line, they should get precedence and the illegals should be rounded up as they get on line for their green card, put on a bus or plane and sent home.

Against illegal immigrants. Why? because they are breaking the law.

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?

I'm in total aggreement with you !!!!!!! everyone in this country immigrated or descended from immigrants... but they came here LEGALLY ... huge difference / key word!!!!\n what gives these illegals this sense of entitlement???they  have convinced themselves that America is part of their country...and believe they should be able to travel back and forth freely... if we were to   immigrate to their country illegally, we are treated as criminals ! yet they expect better treatment from the USA...try protesting  in their country or   holding their countries flag upside and under our flag in their country... lol... you know darn well it would not be tolerated!!!!!!!!! then they think we will miss them if they leave ..... miss what ?? the money they send back to their real country???? the jobs that would go to our unemployed ??? the handouts they get from our government/ and orginizations that could go to our own poor????the  illegal criminals filling out jails????? miss what??? My grandparents came thru Ellis Island, were put thru hell, became citizens, worked hard,spent their money on our economy, LEARNED THE LANGUAGE.... and became legal Americans who flew the American flag high and proud!!!!!!!! raised  children that fought in war for this country......most Americans do not support these illegal immigrants,most legal immigrants do not support them ,.....the ones supporting them are other illegals,  people here on visas,people who received the last amnesty given, and  friends /relatives/and others of their particular ethnic background...

I understand how frustrated you may be.  Im glad you made the distinction that you are sick of Illegal immigrants. There are many good immigrants that came to this country and did things legally.  Thats what we need to promote. LEGAL IMMIGRATION. I would like to see the national gaurd put on the borders to stop the madness with illegals coming into this great land illegally.
