A better idea is to send the immigrants back to where they came from. They don't have any business in the UK. After all, the English and the Scots are the indigenous people there.

Mexican Nationals, like many immigrants \ncome to this country to improve \nthier lives and to help their \nfamilies back home. Legal or \nnot the \nemployers they work for, take taxes \nout of their pay. Again taxes \nhelp the US.\n\nLegal or not most immgrants cannot \nqualify for public assistance \nprograms for many reasons. \n\nTherefore the people out there who \nthink that immigrants are draining \nthe system need to stop watching Fox \nNews and read research papers \nand look a governmental spending \nrecords and history.\n\nIllegal immigrants don't apply for \npublic services because they \ndon't want to get caught by the \ngoverment and get deported. \nImmigrants like most poor people \nonly go to the hospital when \nthey are really sick or its too \nlate. This is just a flaw in the \nsystem. \n\nIts the same with education most \nreccent immigrants do not \nsend their kids to public schools. \nI hate to say that America \nis stupid country for funding \nmost of it schools by property \ntaxes. Other countries around \nthe world use several methods \nof raising money for their schools.\n\nWhat is really  happening in our \ngreat country is not immigrants! \nIt's our political leaders! \nImmigrants are not the sole cause \nof what is bad in this country!\n\nFor one, they are the ones out \nthere busting their asses to make \npeanuts. They work all the jobs \nthat Americans would cry and \ncomplain about if they worked \nthose types of jobs (picking \nproduce in the fields, \nconstruction, and other hard \nmanuel labor)\n\nWe are all immigrants (unless \nyour a Native American) \nand America wouldn't be  what is \nnow, without immigrants, \nlegal or not!\n \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_the_United_States_of_America\n\nYes...there are bad immigrants who \nbreak the law (steal, rob, \nmurder, drug dealers, illegal gun \ndealers and such) \nBUT most are hard working people \nwho want a better life. \nI have benn around INS for quite some\ntime now and It is irrational how people that \nactually know about immigration \nlaws, such as federal immigration \njudges, immigration lawyers and \nlots of people that work for the \nINS are in favor of immigration as \nlong as it is \ndone legally, but the goverment and congress\nare not makin any progress on laws that\nwould promote to legalize illegal aliens\nsuch an amnesty, but yet the congressmen \nand the president are \ndiscriminating illegal immigrants and \nblaming them for draining \nthe system, when they know that the \nactual cause of all the economic \nproblems here in the US is war on \nIrak that bush started a few years \nback.\n\nDo you people realized that he spent \n200 billion dollars on the Irak war \nalready, that is a lot more than \nanyone could expected, including Bush, \nand now you see on the news that \nillegal immigrants dont pay taxes and \nthat they drain the system, when Legal\nor not most immgrants cannot qualify for\npublic assistance programs, and \nthe real truth is that\nthere is more white people living \non welfare than any other minority, \nand that includes African-american, \nHispanic and Asian, \nIllegal immigrants do pay taxes \nwhenever they go to the store \nwhen they get their paychecks \nthey get a tax cut also, \n\nAnd can you tell me when do \nthey get those taxes back?  hardly \nnever \nbecause the majority of immigrants \ndont know how to declare their \ntaxes but there is also Illegal \nimmigrants that declare their \nincome taxes and that is completely\n legal just do some research on \nhow being an illegal immigrant \nyou still have the\nresponsability and the right to \ndo your income taxes just like \nanyone else livin in this country, \nbut no one has the time to look at \nrecords see for themselfs the real\ntruth.\nThe truth is that the \ngoverment is making once again the\nwrong choice or just looking\nto blame the immigrants because he\nspent to much money in the Irak war\nbut instead of spendi

Sorry to hear your personal opinion about them. Well in general all nationality suck in one way or another so its not really something to pounder on. Nobody is perfect. All you can do is accept the fact that they do exist with you.\n\nCheers...

Are you talking about immigrants or trespassers?   (That answers your question, I believe.)

I will tell you and everyone else why in my opinion they act the way that they do.\nBecause they choose to be criminal trespassers with the very first step they take into MY wonderful country. And once they have gotten away with that first criminal act, it just seems to come naturally to them. They still have all the basic needs of any person in a foreign land, food shelter, clothing, transportation, etc. How would you go about getting these things? Find "your" people, they will be sure to help you get the things you need, legally or otherwise for a price.Thats the problem, Americas lacadaisical attitudes towards criminal tresspassers, allowing them to flood this country with absolutely no penalties other than a free meal, some water and a free ride back accross the border 1/4 mile. We have created a criminal culture with our apathy towards these people, now we are all upset because they have finally become so bold as to actually demand to be recognized as citizens simply because they have been sucessful at remaining undetected for so long.\n       They are not "illegal immigrants", "undocumented workers", or any other of the politically correct terms they prefer to be called. \n        They are criminal tresspassers within the boundaries of a sovereign nation.  And all who support them, or aid them are to be considered traitors to this nation . \n        They are all criminals and no one will ever convince me otherwise. \n         They will remain criminals until they become inmates.

i think immigration is great for our country, but the problem with ILLEGAL immigrants is that they don't pay taxes, but still use public services. that really sucks. as far as im concerned, if they really wanted to be here they would\n1.apply for citizenship\n2.learn our language\n3.become a part of society\nand for all you people who think everyone is just pissed at the mexicans, i don't like illegal aliens from ANY country. immigrants from every country are overstaying their visas, people just tend to focus more on the mexicans because there are more of them than others

so i guess we should tell the irish and italians and all those other people that immigrated in the past maybe they should go to. sorry you are so fixated.  hopefully some day you will make a friend with an alien and hear their story.  good luck

most probably haven't been or have yet to feel the effects of this problem most don't understand economics ,sociology, etc. we are labeled as racists but i think we have treated them pretty well. we just want everyone to come according to our laws. when you go to a friends house you just don't go in there and demand things, same thing here. they have a big country but expect us to change laws let more come in all the while doing nothing to improve their own land.and its ok if they run their country the way they want.\n\nNo other group has refused to become American more than Mexican illegals. I'm sure when we had a flood of LEGAL Italian and German immigrants nobody had to "press 2 for Italian" or "press 3 for German". I'm so sick of pressing 1 to hear my native language. Come here legally and become an American and learn English. I want people here who truly want to be here. For those of you who have come legally (like my great-grandparents), welcome and God bless you. Those of you who couldn't careless about our laws, you should be treated as law breakers and sent back to your native land.\n\n\n"Immigrants in past centuries came here to become Americans, not to remain foreigners, much less to proclaim the rights of their homelands to reclaim American soil, as some of the Mexican activist groups have done.... Today, immigrant spokesmen promote grievances, not gratitude, much less patriotism.

never could've said it better.\n\nmy family and i are immigrants, too, but we all came here with appropriate visas - we didn't cross borders, climb fences, or swim across channels...we worked here with appropriate documentation/work permits, paid taxes, and did not misuse the benefits system...that's why i take the same stance and feel very strongly against illegal immigration.

I am totally for immigration; however I feel as though signing the guest book is a must.  This is what our country was founded on and I think we should still be open to new people, but at least let us know your here.

I feel they should be allowed to come here, but they have to do it LEGALLY and LEARN ENGLISH!  Don't come here to mooch off free medical care and everything else we pay taxes for!  Come here LEGALLY, LEARN ENGLISH, and MAKE A LIVING!  It is just a pet peeve of mine!  I have a question about why immigrants WON'T learn english, it is still open for answer!

I think it is good for the country. They will be paying taxes (11 million of them). These taxes will help the people who are on welfare. This will remind all people in USA (exception the native Indians) that everybody in this country is from immigrant beginning. Remember the Irish drought...the Jewish migration after WW2...the slavery era...Columbus... etc. Everyone in America came from immigrant beginning. \nAnd now after few generations in USA, we forgot that we are once an immigrant or our ancestors were once an immigrant to this country. What if the native Indians won during those days and our ancestors were forced back to where they came from or they were killed by the natives? \nI hope that when people start complaining about the immigrants (legal or illegal), they should look at themselves first.

Some of the people expressing their thoughts before me has forgotten where their ancestors were from and the ways they got to the USA. Others probably don't know thanks to whom they could eat a salad this morning that they paid a few cents for. A couple of them probably just said "bye bye" to the contractors they hired for a half of the market hour rate to remodel their house and finally could seat by the computer and criticize a little bit the immigrants. What can I say? God Bless America!\nPS: As a Polish legal, but a non-citizen US immigrant, I maybe should not even use my right to free speech here, since some of you said I don't have one. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

On one hand, I feel compassion for the undocumented immigrants who are really just trying to make their lives better by coming to America.  Many of them are not bad people.\n\nOn the other hand, I also feel that they must face the consequences of staying in the US illegally.  They must get punished for that, but such punishment must be done in a humane manner.
