<description>Well, well. I see how several Americans are ignorantly and most definitely worngfully attacking the Hispanics. Why-oh-why must you be so cruel? You ridicule and hate them so much, and I know for a fact it hurts God to see His children treated this way. I honestly don&#039;t know why reasoning and love could be used to solve the problem. The thing is, many Americans see Mexicans as a threat simply because they are from another country. Let me get this right, terrorists come from Canada so we build a wall between us and Mexico? That is a sad sad day for humanity when innocent people are blamed. The only reason many people even paid attention to what was happening down there was because--oh! wait a minute, this was last commented in 2005? Such hostility!!!</description>

<description>And when you talk about &quot;it&#039;s against the law&quot; I really find that funny. We break them all the frickin&#039; time,don&#039;t act like it&#039;s any worse when someone else does. Plus,recall we killed and enslaved thousands of people only centuries ago. There wasn&#039;t much of a law about it back then,but does that make it ok?</description>

<description>Like several comedians say: If a guy who speaks little english and doesn&#039;t even have a high school degree can steal your job,then it must suck. It&#039;s not like some of our ancestors came here legally in the first place! Illegal immigrants get ripped off in their pay anyhow. What are the rest of you whining about? </description>

&lt;b&gt;More immigrants choose to leave U.S., go home&lt;/b&gt;

&quot;Tired of making little money, feeling lonely and fearing arrest, more Latin American immigrants are voluntarily returning home.&quot;

<description>OK forgive my stupidity but my question is simply this...WHY DON&#039;T THEY JUST BECOME LEGAL??? I&#039;m all for immigration as long as everyone is EQUAL in regard to taxes, health benefits, etc.  But if anyone wants to stay illegal then ship &#039;em back to wherever.</description>

<description>Ha! I discovered this week that there is now a special visa category called an E3, which is available ONLY to Australian Citizens who want to go and live and work in the US.

I&#039;m gonna get a BIG crowd of us so that we can come over there and take over the joint. Eventually, we&#039;ll have everyone in the US speaking the Queen&#039;s English. 

We&#039;ll do all the jobs you guys aren&#039;t doing well lately ... I.T. exec, Media magnate, President of the United States, Corporate CEO, all that stuff.</description>

<link>http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/05/02/131233.php#comment-718701</link>
<description>Think about this. A short, dark, big mustached Mexican sneaks across the border, dodging the Border Patrol and the minutemen. He moves in with four other family members (Also illegal) living together in a two-bedroom house in Pico Rivera. He works picking fruit or cutting grass. He gets a couple of DUI&#039;s throughout his life. He doesn&#039;t bother to learn English, just the bad words. He has children who are automatically American citizens under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. They go to school and move on to college. They obtain professional careers and have families of their own. Every Latino you know has a story similar to this one. So leave that poor Mexican alone!!! Yes, he broke the law by coming to the US illegally, but the benefits outweighed the risk.  </description>

<description>YEA, THEY COME HERE TO WORK USING STOLEN S.S. NUMBERS!

The taxes paid in to fake stolen Social Security accounts and ITIN&#039;s in no way covers the cost to legal tax paying citizens for those 300,000 anchor babies dropped in the U.S. each year, free medical care, free education and food stamps to those jackpot babies, [which by the way are &quot;second hand&quot; benefits to the illegal parent], the cost of jailing or deporting criminal invaders, etc.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, they use far more in services than they might happen to pay into Social Security or pay in federal taxes. 

Anyone who thinks illegal invaders should collect taxes paid to S.S. condones identity theft!!! 

The American people are sick and tired of the abuse to its citizens through identity theft and Social Security card theft by (mostly Mexican) invaders who assume they have the right to destroy the future job and credit history of our citizens, especially the young who will not know of this fraud until they turn 18 and apply for a job or credit!

This fact just doesn&#039;t matter to some people!
Just wait &#039;till your childs&#039; identity and credit is trashed! Will it matter then?</description>

<description>AMNESTY ALERT!!

Senate amnesty vote postponed &#039;til next week -- time to create grassroots firestorm to stop it!  

Because the House of Representatives unexpectedly delayed the Iraq supplemental spending bill late Thursday, the full Senate won&#039;t be allowed today to vote on the amnesty bill that the Senate Appropriations Committee unexpectedly took up and approved Thursday. 

Rosemary Jenks (Vice President, Government Relations, numbersusa.com) just finished reading the Iraq supplemental spending bill as it came out of committee. It would: 

*Grant a three-year work visa followed by a permanent greencard to all illegal aliens who have been working as shepherds, goat herders and dairy herders. 
*Grant a five-year work visa to the estimated 1.3 million illegal aliens working in other agricultural jobs -- plus all of their families. There is no instruction on what happens after the five years. 
*Grant a tripling of the maximum number of H-2B visas for lower skill, non-agricultural seasonal workers. 
*Grant industries an extra 218,000 additional permanent green cards for skilled foreign workers. 

Rosemary says you don&#039;t have to have spent much time in the fields to 
qualify for Feinstein and Craig&#039;s amnesty. 
You only have to meet ONE of the following three criteria to get the amnesty: 

*Earned $7,000 working in agriculture during the 2004-2007 period. 
*Or worked 863 hours in agriculture during the 2004-2007 period. 
*Or worked at least a little bit in agriculture on 150 different days during the 2004-2007 period. 
That amounts to an average of $1,750 per year ... 
*... or 216 hours per year (the equivalent of 4 hours per week) ... 
*... or parts of 37 days per year. 

DO THEY THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE STUPID AND THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY ACCEPT THAT ILLEGAL ALIENS WORKING THAT LITTLE IN AGRICULTURE ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF AGRI-BUSINESS IN AMERICA!!!!!! 
PUT A STOP TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!

<description>After careful review, anyone with a even a modicum of logic can come to no other conclusion: illegal immigration must be halted, illegal immigrants here now must be deported and legal immigration needs decreased from the approx. 2 million allowed in per year currently.

Please review &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esrresearch.com/Rubensteinreport.pdf&quot;&gt;this report&lt;/a&gt; on the FISCAL COST OF IMMIGRATION by economist Edwin Rubenstein  released in April 2008:

A partial summary of the report:

The impact on 15 Federal Departments surveyed was: $346 billion in fiscal related costs in FY 2007.

Each immigrant cost taxpayers more than $9,000 per year.

An immigrant household (2 adults, 2 children) cost taxpayers $36,000 per year.

Legal immigrants were not separated out from illegal immigrants for the fiscal impact study, but if they had been, the fiscal cost per ILLEGAL immigrant would be even more shocking than the figures quoted above.

The most extensive and authoritative study, prior to economist Edwin Rubenstein&#039;s &quot;The Fiscal Impact of Immigration&quot; (April 2008) , is the National Research Council (NRC)&#039;s The New Americans: Economic, Demographic and Fiscal Effects of Immigration (1997). 

The NRC staff analyzed federal, state, and local government expenditures on programs such as Medicaid, AFDC (now TANF), and SSI, as well as the cost of educating immigrants&#039; foreign- and native-born children.

NRC found that the average immigrant household receives $13,326 in federal annual expenditures and pays $10,664 in federal taxes--that is, they generate a fiscal deficit of $2,682 (1996 dollars)per household.

In 2007 dollars this is a deficit of $3,408 per immigrant household.

With 9 million households currently headed by immigrants, more than $30 billion ($3,408 x 9 million) of the federal deficit represents money transferred from native taxpayers to immigrants.

Our national immigration policies have to work for the United States.  While improving the plight of the world&#039;s poor is a laudable goal, the finite resources we have available to fulfill that goal would be swamped if there wasn&#039;t some orderly and manageable system in place to limit entry into the United States to what this nation can actually support.  The more illegal aliens that are permitted to subvert the immigration system, the fewer immigrants we can accommodate who might actually produce a positive benefit for our country.

The more we become a nation of illegal immigrants, the deeper we fall into anarchy.

<description>Why should even one American citizen suffer a crime of any sort at the hands of an illegal alien? (NOTE: Over 50,000 Americans have been killed by illegal aliens since 9/11 by either murder or drunk driving) Every single crime committed by an illegal alien is completely preventable by enforcement of our immigration laws. 

Our country, America, suffers a crime every time an illegal alien takes their first step onto our soil. That is intolerable to me and the vast majority of the American people. The only legal, moral and viable solution to illegal immigration is &#039;attrition through enforcement&#039;. That&#039;s accomplished by simply enforcing the law. It&#039;s currently illegal to employ illegal aliens. It&#039;s also against the law to provide some state and local services to illegal aliens. Imagine that, by enforcing the law, illegal aliens will be without jobs and their gravy train of benefits they are so adept at accessing. It would be exceedingly hard (impossible, really) to remain here without a viable source of income. They found their way here; they can find it back home. Its called self-deportation. And it works...just look at the droves of illegal aliens leaving Oklahoma and Arizona. Those that don&#039;t self deport are ID&#039;ed if they commit crimes and deported. 

No rocket science is needed to solve the illegal immigration problem. The issue is not complex nor impossible or extremely costly to deal with, as the illegal aliens, their huggers and advocates would like for you to believe. Simple commitment to enforcing laws we already have on the books will work. 

The more we become a nation of illegal immigrants, the deeper we fall into anarchy.</description>

<description>Well, I do know that everybody has their own opinion. Anyways, I really do not think that illegal immigration is bad. Being Mexican I know how much we suffer just to live a better life. Many parents in Mexico leave their children just to come to America for a while and get some money for food and stuff. By the way if you think that immigrants are taking all the jobs, well they really are not. If you look at the majority of immigrants they work as gardeners, construction builders, etc. If we did not have a gardnere who stays allday under the sun, then we would not have any fresh food to buy. On the other hand many Americans work as Doctors, or other cool jobs. Therefore, I believe you really need to think about it and read more. Cuz what I wrote is just a little info about the real thing.</description>

<description>The U.S, should overthrow the Mexican govt.
and try to change their govt and economy to be like
the U.S. Then they would&#039;t have to go anywhere
for a better life. It is a waste of a good country
to let Mexicans try to run it.
