No way.\n\n As for they are already here excuse? \nWe have the millions to feed and cloth and medicate them. \nWe have the millions to make stupid coins to represent each state. \nWe have the trillions to trade with other countries for free and send them our food.\nWe have the money to poor millions into politicians campains.\nWe have billions to run off and "save" other countries whether they want it or not. \n\nThen We have the money to impose fines on employers and deport whoever does not leave on their own when ILLEGAL jobs from slaver employers dry up. And save our own country, so that there is a healthy country with abundant resources left to except legal immigrants into.\n\nCorporation's are and have been buying up the newstations and print the statistics. Don't believe it all. In the last 10 years we Americans have been fed more propaganda and lies than what was distributed on both sides of world war II. \n\nie: results from presidential voting polls, weapons of mass destruction, spying policies and the laws around it, politician kickbacks, politicians and their family history into oil interests. Just to name a few.\n\nTo the person who said this sampling would be all upper class that answer cuz of access to computers. Even those of us on the lower end of the economic scale, here in America can scrap together $400 for a Dell from saving for a year or incometax returns. Every Large city library in this country has turned into homeless shelters. And what are are homeless and bums doing while there? They are ALL on the computers. Hands down dude that has to be bar none the most ignorant statement I have read here, in the last few days.

You are assuming Jesus would want to become a US citizen.  That's pretty arrogant don't you think?\nFurthermore no amendment would be needed, Jews are just as capable of getting their green cards. \n\nJesus was never active in politics.  I would think he would continue this path.

Well..people who do not have any use for America..or those who hav something but too slow to get the benefit from what they hav(indonesia). Anyway just want to tell people out there to stop being racist..especially when it comes to religion. urm some people believe that Jesus is white/black but actually he's not even come from english world he's an arab okes..Jesus(ISA for muslim) was spreading Allah words but people change the bible to suit to their own need..then islam came in to guide people to the right way..

Jesus said the way  was to follow the narrow road and few will find it.  I guess the attitudes that are received on yahoo and generally in the world from some people are a reflection of this.  Jesus was persecuted and we as his followers should expect some as well\n\nConsider it pure joy if you are being persecuted for the sake of Christ!  The truth will always face opposition.  Stand strong in the Lord and don't be discouraged.

its not really the medias job. coz they never do a good job anyway. we here plenty about the starving kids in Africa, but we never hear about all the awesome things that are happening over there coz of the people who care. we never hear about the rich people who get some compassion and send enough money via world vision to pay for an entire community to have enough drinking water for a year, we never hear of the great churches who go over there and build orphanages, and dig wells and start schools and give clothing and stuff.\n\npeople dont care. and those that do care, are so discouraged by the enormity of the situation that they dont bother to help coz they dont think they can make a difference. if they only saw the awesome difference people are making already, they might be encouraged to at least sponsor one child or something.\n\nplus.... some of these poor countries? you go to one side of the country and there is NOTHING. absolutely 100% poverty, then the other side of the country is full, overflowing with riches and wealthy businesses and stuff. if one side of the country helped out the other side, it would be one awesome steady country. it would prosper. but people cant even look over there shoulder to the other side of the country. its ridiculous.\n\nthe media, suck at there job. but we cant talk. we dont bother to seek out who needs help ourselves. Education will help a little. but most still just say "oh how sad" and get a little down from it for a day or so, then move on with there financially stable eyes without batting an eyelid at ther wallets.\n\nwe need education alright. we need the bible. we need GOD. He shows us that we are to give give give give give to the poor.. and more! maybe we should put Jesus back into the classroom. He sure does the job right.

THAT is Basically what is going to turn America around, back to GOD------remember, it's only HIS PEOPLE who have to do this thing.   \nNOW isn't that funny, and the World (EARTHLY People) think that GOD's Children are PERFECT, when GOD just said for them to turn from their WICKED WAY's-----were talking bout' GOD's people, who are on their WAY TO HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't blame the Mexicans. I mean any other poor in the world would be doing the same thing if they were next to us. America is only to be blamed because they have stupid controls, and when they catch someone illegal they don't do anything instead of deporting! lol

I agree. \n\nThere wouldn't be America if it wasn't for Christains. Even alot of laws are based on Christianity. \n\nWe are the oldest demorcary because of that. We should defiently not change it.

Exactly my point, my friend. The thing is, and I'll try to avoid sterotyping Americans as they so carelessly do with Arabs. It is un-"American" to strip so many of their liberty in the name of "freedom". It is un"Christian" to disrespect a fellow human the way that has been done. It is extremely naive to think that the Bush administration is trying to help, knowing that Bush's family has gathered so much wealth through the exploitation of petroleum. I don't see how people don't spend more time on questions like these. Questions that matter. Thank you very much, my friend. (BTW, I'm an American Citizen of a Christian Church)

I came from the Catholic family, but I don't agree with the Church on this illegal issue. The Church has no right whatsoever to meddle in the U.S affairs. Border fence must be done before the democrats take over the Congress.

not all are for illegal immigration i guess you take scriptures and justify anything but i think god would tell mexico to help themselves and admitt wrong doing in this as well!\n\nOh Lord God Almighty, the supply and supplier of faith and freedom, how excellent is Your name in all the earth. You are great and greatly to be praised. God, as we conclude this 55th inaugural ceremony, we conclude it with an attitude of thanksgiving. Thank You for protecting America's borders. After all, the Psalmist reminds us, unless You, O God, guard the territory, our efforts will be in vain. \nExodus 23:20-31 "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River. I will hand over to you the people who live in the land and you will drive them out before you.\n\nExodus 20:12-17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."\n\nProverbs 25:17-17 17 "Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house-- too much of you, and he will hate you."\n\nLeviticous 19:11-"'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly."\n\nand yes jesus said help the poor but he never said let anyone run over you.\nThe Bible never supports people tresspassing into others lands in an inappropriate manner. The Bible never supported open borders for the Bible says that boundaries were ordained of God. It was the Tower of Babel that promoted an open border system

no, it is not. However, it is anti Christian to be against illegal immigrants.

Apparently, they are fleeing a communist regime. Just because Cuba is communist doesn't mean that it is the worst country in the world for its citizens. Try Haiti. Try countries in Africa. Try Southeastern Asia. Try Afghanistan. Our immigration laws should be more compassionate and should strive to help those who are MOST IN NEED. It shouldn't help illegals that broke the law. It shouldn't help those who the US wants to immigrate here just so that the government can embarass Castro. IT HASN'T WORKED IN 40 YEARS!!!!! Cubans should go through the process LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!!

I think that it's wrong because they entered our country illegally and they are using our tax dollars to fund their health care and various other charities. They enter our country illegally which is a crime and then they expect Americans to open our arms and welcome them. I have heard that this movement is similar to the ones that they had in the 1960's, wrong! In the 1960's the Black AMERICANS were protesting for equal rights that they deserved. The black AMERICANS were being discriminated against in their own country--they were born here and they deserved to be treated as fairly as any other AMERICAN. I am not a predijiuce person, I believe that everyone who wants to APPLY to become an American citizen has that right, however, I do not believe that it is fair to the people who are applying and waiting patiently to come to this great country of ours to see that all they have to do is enter illegally and they are home free. We are very blessed to be natural born citizens and while we do have our problems it is still the best country in the world! Could you imagine if this protesting of illegals was occuring in other countries, it would not happen because it would not be tolerated and the people involved would be severly punished. And as for the people who are sponsoring these protest--have they lost their minds!! AGAIN, these people entered our country ILLEGALY, I just don't get it, and for the people sponsoring these protests they are self proclaiming themselves as being like Dr. Martin Luther King. What a joke! What frightens me is that just by sheer numbers they might actually make it happen. This government needs to wake up and do something about this prevelant problem before it gets out of hand and our borders will be nothing but 'free for alls'. As for the saying that this country was born on the backs of immigrants, I agree, however, you need to come here LEGALLY as many millions in the past has done.
