True view by US Government on Immigrants.?
535735
We have a better deal when they are illegal.  Many illegals pay SS but aren't able to ever redeem it.  It's free money.\n\nIt's in businesses best interest to keep them illegal so that they can overwork them and underpay them.  So, immigration "reform" is not pro-business.  And immigration reform will cause the price of all those things that they do to go up.  So, it's not in the interest of the average American to make them legal.\n\nSo, it is just a case of:\n1) Doing the Christian/"Bleeding heart liberal" thing\n2) Pandering to Mexico.\n\nOh, and the Dems will probably get more votes in conservative Southern states with the influx of poor Mexicans becoming citizens.  The only ones that really win are the Dems and the illegals.  Everyone else loses, including America and its laws.

Well for one the government. they don't want to do anything about the immigration problem we have in the states.. They think when they some to America it is the home of the free...

Of course it is.  President Bush was very clear about giving guest workers a clearly defined path towards citizenship.  They must abide by certain rules, pay taxes, learn English... nothing unreasonable.

False.\nAll "Americans" are foreigners.

80% of Americans do not want illegal immigrants here.  If government is supposed to by run by the people, why isn't this being done?  Do you understand how disturbing this is?

I would diagree that most non-US citizens do not like us. I agree that the ones that do not like us are the most vocal right now. We have a lot of work to do, but our policies haven't really changed in the last hundred years. \n\nAs far as my opinion on the government, I absolutely love it. There are many flaws with our current parties that control the government, but we can fix it once we decide that is really what we want to do.\n\nOur government has the most promise out of any government that I can see in the world today. I just look forward to the day that we live up to that potential.

JD - At first, I didn't agree with you entirely on here, but over time, your views make more and more sense. You seem so dedicated to this cause, and so I hope you are doing more than just posting on this website. You have got the facts and figures and the reasoning. I hope you are managing to get this info into the government where it can make a difference. Thank you for persisting in your stance on this topic. Your dedication gives me hope that the rest of the USA will wake up and smell the coffee regarding illegal immigration, before it's too late.

We, Pro-Americans, must take the initiative to stand up and fight for our rights to be heard.  Everyone is always trying to be polite & not speak what they really feel.  Until we come together & force the government to listen to what we want... things will remain the same.  I can't wait until the !@#$% hits the fan!!!  America will come out on top of this invasion of "ILLEGAL" immigrants problem.

I don't think the government doesn't want latino here... the government doesn't want any more immigrants in the U.S period! since the influx of immigrants is getting to a point where it's creating problems for the economy of the country as a whole.  Why is that? well, all these people even though they're here in the country illegally, and I'm sure that their sole intention is to do well and to be able to help their family back home and to do better for themselves... however, if things doesn't turn out the way they hope it would be, and they're not getting much support from the government, some of those immigrants will ended up doing anything possible to survive, that being said anything whether good/bad to make a living and I believe that's what the government is trying to end.  It is sad because after all, the U.S is made of immigrants and to be able to stop something that a whole country was built by.. is really not a solution.  I think that although their action is understandable by trying to restrict the influx of immigrants, however... other methods could have been used to help those who sees the U.S as their only way to a better way of living.

Yes, I love it!  I look on the internet news daily for more stories like the one about the mayor of Hazelton, PA, or Sheriff Joe in Arizona, or big unexpected roundups of illegals in different cities.  It does my heart proud to see the citizens of the USA standing up against this injustice that the government has allowed to occur and get out of hand - illegal immigration.  I believe the power of the American citizens is now snowballing against illegal immigration and whether the Federal Government wants to or not, they are going to have to listen to the people whom they work for, and act accordingly.  The days of the freebies and handouts for illegal immigrants are quickly coming to an end and the smart ones will start planning their own voluntary self-deportations now, rather than wait until they are found and shipped out, possibly leaving family members behind in the USA.  Better they start planning and get themselves organized for an orderly return to their home countries before they get caught by immigration officials or the police or their landlord or their employer.  This way, if they have lived cleanly in the USA so far, without committing further offences since they first illegally came over the border, they have a hope of returning legally one day, if they go home now and apply to immigrate to the USA through the proper procedures.  WAKE UP ILLEGALS!  Do yourselves and your families a favour and return yourselves in an orderly fashion now, while you still can.  Otherwise, don't cry and whine when you get caught and shipped out on a moment's notice, when you aren't ready.  The jig is up!  Amnesty is NOT coming!!  Wake up and smell the coffee!

Short answer... yes.\n\nLong answer... The government really needs to look at having the "right type" of immigrants permitted entry. Back home in Australia, the government has a restriction on immigration. You have to prove that you have the funds and/or job to support yourself and won't be sponging off the government and taxpayers. Over here, it just seems that they'll let anybody in and then give them a house and benefits too. And just from what I've seen, a British person has to first prove they don't need any help before they get some. I'm not surprised British people are leaving the country in large numbers.... they seem to be becoming a minority in their own country.

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

This is very true, but the government is more focused on mexicans because A. They are a poorer country B. Mexicans have snuck illgal drugs over the border and C. The Natalee Holloway case hasn't helped many immagrents around the country. Basiclly, everyone is just afraid of new people and what they may bring to the U.S. I am not mexican, but i do believe that every human was made equally and everyone deserves a fighting chance. I agree that not all mexicans are bad, just the very few percentage that don't know how to deal with some problems. I mean, if you think about it, if you were a mexican dealing with an oppresive government (no offense) and poverty wouldn't you want a safe haven? I know i would try anything to get to the U.S. We in the U.S. have to understand what they are going through and put ourselves in their shoes. I totally agree on the fact that mexicans aren't the only immagrants. I just think the government is afraid of be overthrown or having another terroist attack. Though my ideas may not represent the american people, i still agree that this illegal crud needs to stop soon.

My parents were not legal Immigrants, but I am. For myself it wasn't that difficult, to get here from Scotland. It took effort and a lot of paper work, and a sponser, to guarantee, my welfare, for the first six months.\n I got a job early, and put no burden on my sponser. But I was covered by his generosity.\nOther legal immigrants from other nations, had the same problems as I did, some worse, due to the old quota systems. But they too all waited in lines, saw Doctors, got X-rays, filled reams of paper work, and did the right thing.\nIt angers me to see those illegals, sneak, or really, openly cross our borders.  They seem to think they are entitiled to do so. They see no crime being committed, and other latinos who were born here, or whos parents, got here, illegally or legally, try to help them out, and can't see what they are doing to our health system and schools.\nI think the politicians are working hand in glove with businesses, to supply this latest form of cheap labor.It lowers all our standard of living. See how expensive health care is now, if it's even available, and out pension plans, going down the tube. All of this isn't all due to illegal immigration, but it certainly isn't helped by it.\nWe need to control our borders and immigration. What other country would allow over twelve million illegals amongst them. \nI have no bias, against those people who are just trying to better their lives, for them and their families. But how much better would it be, if they did that in there own Country.\nMexico, could easily be a first world country, given its natural resources, and the skill and hard work of their natives. But their Government is too corrupt, and so few own the majority of the wealth of their nation, and aren't willing to share, it with the less fortunate amongst their people.

Don't confuse the American government with the American people.\n\nWe don't have the greatest government in the world, just the one that most people want on their side.  The world asks a lot of our government - come first in time of disater, stand up against tyranny, pay for the common good, help without question. When was the last time you heard that the first people in to rebuild a fallen damn or drop medical supples were from New Zeeland or Greenland? The world asks a lot of America. \n\nMost Americans want what most citizens of the world want. We want the ability to provide for our families, feed and clothe ourselves and have lives that matter. Yes, we have idiots that don't know all of us can eat and provide, and it isn't a wrong thing. But know that 99% of Americans are decent people who want what's best.
