The bean fields and toilets in local facilities are being neglected by immigrants!?

You are really rude. What about the American Dream? People should be able to have a chance in America no matter where they are from or their ethnicity. Think before you speak.

It angers me that law abiding immigrants are being demonized the way they are.  They arent the problem the problem is and has been corporate outsourcing of jobs overseas.  The only problem I have is that because there are few incentives for these hard working immigrants to spread out they're not being thrown into learning english as well as years past.  By all means, come here, work hard, obey the law, spend money, and give your family a better life.

they take them for granted ... the problems are that the US, whether like it or not, permitted, whether explicitly or implicitly, illegal immigrants to be a part of the society.  \nI mean look at those labor forces in south ...   amigos in the service sectors .... If we kicked them out of the country, we would not only have a major shortage of labor, but also a major loss of tax revenue for offsetting the aging baby-boomer population.  By the way the last point would be crucial for the US to remain healthy compared to the rest of industrialized nations.

I agree with you. I think many of them come here for the exact reasons you stated. I know there are war torn countries and whatever but Britain is only a small island and there are plenty of safe countries in between us and their own country. They come here because they are practically guaranteed a good life and a job, if they feel like working, though they don't have to. I get about £300 a month in tax credits to help me stay at home with my own kids. There are people who have a problem with that when these illegals are coming in and being given brand new houses, some built for them, then they were getting those food voucher thingys but that's not good enough is it, they want the cash so they can go and buy themselves a corner shop and rip us off some more. I am all for the BNP on this one. It's not racist. It's fair. It doesn't happen in other countries. If I went to another country, they wouldn't just hand out free stuff just because I was foreign so why do people think it's racist if you don't want to do that?

Obviuosly you are one of those who think only rich housewives benefit from immigrant labor. Agribusiness and a lot of manufacturers in the south rely heavily on illegal immigrants. Why would it not go up? I'm surprised it didn't go up more, but I guess the big guys waited to see what the backlash was.

Because our benefits system is totally messed up. I read somewhere yesterday that there was some homeless woman who could not be housed or helped because she was not a priority case. How homeless do you need to be? Immigrants are a cheap source of labour, and the government is all too happy to take them in - more £££ for them you see?\n\nThis whole situation is out of control now, and it's way way too late to do anything about it.

Have you evern seen the fields in California, in Arizona? Those people working under the hundred degree weather are all Mexicans, South Americans, Central Americans, probably undocumented. So far I have not seen an Anglo doing those jobs! How about construction? Those jobs are so dangerous, so hard to do! As for myself, I would not expose my life, my health, doing those tasks, for the cheap pay. Someone has to do it.\n\nWhat are my excuses? My allergies, my "education," my pride, you name it, I got it. I prefer to work in the shade, with "educated" people, with benefits. There's a lot of people like me... I love to buy my vegetables, my fruit, at a decent price. What will we do without immmigrants? The cost of everything will get so high it would not be affordable.\n\nAlso, when I travel, I like to find a clean bed in the hotel where I spend the night. I love to eat in restaurants too. Who do you think cooks that delicious Mexican or Chinese food you and I like? Who will be humble enough to clean the mess we Anglos make?\n\nOne more point: when I grow old, I want for those people who take care of me in the nursing home to be nice to me.

Whether it is the U.K. or USA, illegal immigration an "asylum seekers" are overrunning the borders.  The best bet is to close the borders altogether.  This would also help with the influx of Muslim terrorists into these countries.  The only country I would like to see have these problems is Israel, which deserves what they get.

Not only Muslim countries, ALL immigration needs to be curbed!! The whole immigration system needs a good overhaul. Its common sense that as a small island, we cannot sustain the huge influxes of immigrants,no matter where they come from!!\nImmigration is now on an unprecedented scale. \n The pressure on our borders continues. Demand for visas has risen by 33% in 5 years and is now 2.5 million per year. The economic benefit from this inflow is very limited. Government arguments are fallacious. Immigration is not essential to our economic growth. It adds to economic growth but also adds nearly proportionately to our population so that the benefit to the host community is small. \nImmigrants will have little impact on our ability to pay pensions in future. The Turner Commission dismissed this argument for the simple reason that immigrants too will age and require pensions. Their financial input to the Exchequer is, despite government claims, approximately neutral. \nImmigration is welcome to many employers because it holds down pay levels, especially for the unskilled, and contributes to lower interest rates. It can also be a source of cheap skilled labour with no training costs. But it is the tax payer who picks up all the costs of the extra infrastructure required. \nTo the extent that immigration holds down wages it makes it more difficult for the government to achieve their stated aim of moving from welfare to work the 1.5 million unemployed and the 2.7 million on Incapacity Benefit. There are now one million young people in Britain who are neither in work nor in education. \nAre immigrants doing jobs the British will no longer do? No. In large parts of Britain where there are few, if any, immigrants British people are doing all these jobs. The fundamental problem is the benefits trap. Wages are held down to a level where for some there is little benefit in working rather than collecting benefits. Wages should be allowed to rise to make lower paid jobs worthwhile and to encourage productivity. Increasing productivity is the only way that a nation can become richer. \nThere is growing resentment among the native population of whom 70 – 80% wish to see a tougher immigration policy. They feel that their concerns are being ignored, or dismissed; only 10% feel that the government is listening to public opinion on immigration. The ethnic population is also concerned about the direction of events. A majority of them (55%) also wish to see tighter immigration control. A majority of the population (69%) feel that Britain is losing its own culture.

Well I'm doing my bit! (36 weeks pregnant with my first baby!)\n\nIt scares me to hear that we "need" immigrants because of an ageing population.  I've already seen East European immigrants monopolising the unskilled job market round here and leaving many skilled people unemployed or stuck in minimum wage jobs because immigrants do the skilled jobs for less.  I've seen immigrants being given social housing while British families are homeless.   I've heard Polish immigrants laughing and bragging in the pub about how they can make out like kings in the UK and how the Brits are "lazy" and they don't care if their presence here has a bad effect for jobs, housing etc.\n\nThe thought that the Government may use a low birth rate as an excuse to even further flood our country with the poor and needy of other nations and strain our resources even further fills me with dread.  I shudder to think what the UK will be like when my baby is an adult and looking for work.  By that time I think we might have emigrated - its probably the only chance we have of a decent life and well paid jobs.  Sad really as I love my country and resent being pushed out of it.

At the moment immigrants are a large portion of our work force in this country.  This contributes to our Gross National Profit.  Because they are here doing jobs that Americans will not do it helps businesses make a profit and stay in business.  A lot of people want to complain that they are in our country taking jobs away from us, but I find this to not be true.  If Americans would do any job that was asked of them and not expect a doctors wage for a janitors job businesses would not look for this cheaper workers.

YOU ARE A WISE PERSON! To point out that its not an issue of them taking our jobs! because..HOW HARD IS IT REALLY TO GET A JOB AT MCDONNALDS WIPING FLOORS? i think alot of the racial americans are ashamed because the immigrants who work hard put alot of lazy americans to shame

And then they get deported. Yay! *golf clap*\n\nSeriously, who cares if a Mexican takes a janitorial job under the table for virtually nothing. Are you gonna clean those toilets? Who cares if an illegal immigrant is taking up space? Deport him if its a problem, but please people... stop b!itching about the illegals. They are illegal. They get deported or they scramble to make a life here without any government services. Either way, who cares?

when my grandparents came to this county they could not, by law,speak German outside there own home or they were in trouble ,they had to become American citizens or get deported, had to learn English,and had to have a job. They worked hard for 50cents a day. No food stamps, no help, and no free ride.When today's people coming here do the same I'll say they can stay,the Plains Indian part of me ,says i want every one to go back where they came from.Because they sure haven't improved anything being here.

We were duped into thinking "migrant workers" came here during harvest and went back afterwards. That, as we have found out recently, was NOT the case. They DIDN'T go back, they stayed and abused our welfare systems, brought in extended family members and produced their 'anchor babies'.  They settled in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado.  The rest of the USA was not aware of it until the media brought it to our attention.  Then we started noticing the subtle changes to our own cities, towns and communities. Some of us have started paying attention.  Some refuse to take their heads out of their butts and really see what is going on under their very noses.
