        you know that most of those people could easily get a "working visa" so they can work in america and all they have to do is renew the thing like every 5 year's. I personally dont' see anything wrong with that at all. I do see a problem with people coming here illegally and then bitching because they can't stay. Of course they are going to complain, druggies that get busted also complain about them getting busted because they only had an 8ball of coke in the car when they got pulled over. I think america should definitly send these people back and give them chances of getting a "working visa".

        I also noticed when my ex-girlfriend was here and me and her went to her country in south america (ecuador) she didn't have a friggin passport and she paid the guy off with a 50 dollar bill and he let her go back into her country without any penalty (I am glade because I wouldn't of known what to do there) hehe.

          It makes for a hostile work environment for americans.Illegals use their status against american workers and are always "telling" on honest americans in hopes that we will just leave our american jobs.I work for a company who condones this behavior amungst illegals and american work forces."As long as the work gets done who cares?".If you do care, you are labeled as a racist.If you have aggressive demeanor and are white, you better just laugh in your sleeve.

              Anti-immigrationism is fascism. Let the mexicans in, and make sure they open lots of mexican restaurants; they have better salsa, and a work ethic the rest of us need to take notice of. Anyone complaining about "illegal immigrants" and basing their prejudice on "the law" (which has rarely been an important consideration in this country) is a sucker. sorry, your emotions are being manipulated. If you want to stop immigration, help their original countries' economies get back on the ground. The US war on Anticapitalism (which has been going on since 1946) is poorly conceived, and is creating the situation that leads to massive immigration in places like the US and Europe. But we have room for them, do you really want to work the night shift at the gas station or to "process" animals in slaughterhouses? If you are opposed to illegal immigrants, the best things you can boycott are a) commercial meat, and b) new construction

                Legal Immigration is a good thing! Illegal immigration is breaking our laws!

                Without the enforcement of the all of our current laws, the USA will turn into the very countries that these illegals fled from! Once America is just like their countries, where will they go to and live? America, land of the free is only protected by the rule of law.

                Sometimes, (as I taught my kids), to be very careful what they wish for, because they might not like the actual results of their wish, in the end! These illegals might not like the end results, who will replace them as cheap laborers? How long will they have labor protections?

                The illegals here need to go back home, stand up and fight for their own freedoms and more jobs for their own countries.

                  Zaph and others gave you, those of you who are for illegals becoming legal citizens. What we consider the legal way of coming to the States. A law is a law, whether you like it or not. Those who came in Ilegally deserve the punishment that is coming to them.

                  Those of you that want the illegals given amnesty. Spit in the face of every last American that came to this country legally. You don't care that you are spitting in thier face either. That is truly amazing, since "They" are immigrants too.

                  Oh I get it if they follow the law and do it right. They are not worthy of your praise. Only those that we consider that have a plight that are worth our effort. So you guys are telling everyone of the Legal Immigrants that they are trash and the true migrants are those coming illegally?

                  We know exactly where your priorities lies.

                    As for jobs that Americans wont do. I know of several companies here in Dallas. That fired their LEGAL workers and hired the cheap mexican labor. Cause they wanted more money they would be making by selling the houses for a high price. While at the same time cutting labor cost in half.

                    Or how about the Fort Worth city workers who sued. Tarrent County for the hiring of Illegals over Natural Citizens. Oh that was a big time case. Hiring Illegals cause they could get away with not conforming to the States wage laws for State Goverment Workers.

                    Better really think about what jobs Americans wont do. Cause I see all kinds of Americans doing jobs that Illegals wont do. Like cleaning out the toliets in the Fast Food Joint they work at. Oh there are some that have good work ethics. But really I have worked with some of these illegals. Don't think they all work hard cause they have lazy people just like the rest.
