Why should my wife and I follow the law for immigration if I can cross the mexican border and get it free?

It is a totally unfair situation. These illegals are flooding our schools and health systems. They are a source of cheap labor so that Americans are losing jobs to them. It is infuriating. I hope you have written to your senators and congressional rep. about it. I have. For more info go to www.loudobbs.com

I agree. If you want to come into the US you do it legally and you have to obay our laws. OOPs you already broke one. You came here illegally. Laws are for a reason. If everyone got way with breaking laws the US would be like the Country you are trying to flee.

First off let me say that I am a white American. I live in  Southern Oregon and speak both english and spanish. I have many Legal Mexican-American friends. That being said. If you sneak into this country you are breaking the law!!! Deport them. My legal Mexican friends moved here seeking better wages and did it legally. Additionally they are very fine people who I am pleased to have in my community. They follow the letter of the law. They are model citizens. They do not like criminals who sneak into our country.

she will have to divorce. Their marriage is legal as long as they married "de civil" by the law. Alot of couples from mexico may say "mi esposo/esposa" (my husband or wife) and that they are married, when they are only living together. Make sure that they are actually married. If they are by the law in Mexico, they will need to divorse, otherwise they cannot think about getting their papers here.

If she is a Mexican and can run fast then crossing into the USA shouldnt be a issue.  Look at the 20 million or so that have gotten already so she will do fine as long as she ducks low and runs fast.  Even if she gets caught the USA's catch and release policy will allow her to go free anyway so why worry just let her to croiss over.  if caught she is free and if not caught then she is ion free so she wins both ways.  Even if sent back she can cross over and over again until she suceeds...........

It's not easy to get here legally. In order to be granted a right to come here legally you have to show proof that you are wealthy (or at least well off) in you country. They want to know you have an incentive to go back. \n\nThe majority of people who are crossing here illegally don't have the assets needed. That's why they are coming here...in search of a dream.\n\nThey are here doing jobs that most of us would not want to do. If anybody who was born here, and educated here, feels they are being robbed by illegals (who probably don't even speak English) then I have to say that particular person has real low expectations of themselves. I don't think we should blame others for our own failures.

Overcharged or not, we didn't mind paying the fees in order to be together, the price is worth it. I mean instead of having a lavish wedding just pay the immigration fees and enter legally, who needs the headache of doing something illegal?

If you can come here LEGALLY, we would not have a problem, then you could be an American/Mexican, You would have to pay taxes, I know you don't want to pay, cause then you would have no money to send to Mexico.....So if you want to BREAK AMERICAN IMMIGRATION LAW'S by coming here illegaly, we should put you in jail for 6 month's & then deport you.....If the immigrant's that came here legally read this: Good Luck, God Bless, Hope all your dream's come true.....My only problem with illegal people is they broke our law, WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE OUT SIDE THE COUNTRY, DOING IT THE LEGAL WAY? THE ILLEGAL PEOPLE ARE MAKING IT HARDER FOR THEM & THEY ARE NOT BREAKING OUR LAW'S

Why not a closed-border advocate? Open borders with Mexico means Mexico's problems become America's problems. No 'shotgun marriages' to Mexico, please...\nSupport the US Border Patrol!

Nooooo, until they take out the amnesty clause, I don't ever see it passing the house.  We can't reward criminals, otherwise the whole damn country of Mexico will hit the border and try to get in.

Good question.  I'd like to hear some good reasons why they think it is acceptable too. Personally I don't think there is ANY valid argument that will fly for coming here illegally.  I'll check back.  Thanks for asking.

As a liberal married to a man who is half-Mexican, it sounds like an excellent plan to me!  Before we give the conservatives the boot, we should grab their money as they head over the border.  Many of them are crooked CEOs who obtained their wealth by stabbing everyone else (not just Mexicans) in the back.

Forget it. You are dealing with Mexico, Mexicans, drug lords, crooked police, crooked lawyers, crooked judges. You will definetly not get any belongings back. The police took them and are either wearing the clothes or someone in the family is, all the other stuff has been shifted around. I lived there for years, and there is no justice system except what happens with a gun. The Federales and 'police' are criminals with a badge and a gun - they make the equivalent of $4 usd a day. You think anyone there cares about getting justice or helping an American? No way.  Don't forget, you and your wife are the bad guys, the rich Americans who treat Mexicans badly ( we know that is not true but they think that way ).  Sorry about your problem, but Mexico really is the wild west.

I am not sure ,is the illegal immigrant in love with me as I am with he or she. I have heard alot of them would seek out an American citizen to get their legal documents for free and after they get what they want then the marriage goes south. so beware of "love with an illegal immigrant".I am in south Florida and it is illegal immigrant central.

My wife is Philippina and we are trying to get her visa.  It is taking a long time.  I don't care what country you came from, if you are legal.  If you are illegal, you are breaking the law, end of story.  When My wife and I lived in Japan, we had trouble getting a visa for me.  So we both left.  Because If I had stayed I would have been deported if I had been caught, and so would my wife.  Regardless of the fact that she had a visa.  Breaking the law is breaking the law.  Don't complain when you are caught.

If I Had To Leave My Country To Make A Living In Another,\nI ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT Immigrate To The Other Country ILLEGALLY...\nI Would Take The Right Steps To Enter That Country In A LEGAL And ORDERLY Manner And NOT BREAK The LAWS Of That Nation\nI Would File The REQUIRED PAPERWORK And Make CERTAIN That ALL My Actions Were SUPERVISED By That Nations Government Until They GRANTED Me CITIZENSHIP LEGALLY\nI Would NOT Work In Another Country UNDOCUMENTED And Become A BURDEN To The TAXPAYERS Of That Nation\nWe KNOW Why There Are Immigrants In America Today\nBut We CANNOT ALLOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION To BURDEN Our Economy Any Longer\nWe have both the RIGHT and the MORAL OBLIGATION To STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION In Its Tracks\n\nHeres A Question For You\nIf We Allow ALL THE MEXICANS(I Mean EVERY LAST ONE OF EM )\nIn Here (Because We KNOW They All Want A Better Life)\nThen What Would Be Left In Mexico??\nA CORRUPT Government With No Citizens??\nA Nation Of NO PEOPLE??\nInstead Of Marching In The Streets Of The US,(Armed With The Flag Of Mexico) Why Arent These People Protesting In Their OWN COUNTRY For BETTER TREATMENT As CITIZENS \nWHY Must The US TAXPAYERS Shoulder The Burden Of A People Oppressed By A Corrupt Government?
