Why should we support people that come to the USA{America}??
Answer:
I don't believe we should support these people monetarily, but perhaps we could help them adjust to American life.
we should not.
We should not give any benefits to illegal immigrants
I agree!
In 1955, when my grandparents, uncles, and my mother came form Europe, they had to be sponsored. They had to be vaccinated, have housing, the kids had to be immediately enrolled in school, and my grandparents had 6 months to prove they could hold a job & provide for their family, or else they would be deported.
I don't think those rules are asking anything unreasonable of anyone wishing to become an American citizen.
People who come to the U.S. on a VISA must financialy show one of two things, one, they CAN support themselves, or two, they have someone to support them.
Persons on a Visa must also show a connection to their home country to indicate they will not defect or stay in the U.S. upon the Visa expiration.
The U.S. state department is harder than you thin k to fool as the U.S. is the #1 country to be in and the immigration problems proove it.
We should because we are (supposedly) a Christian Nation. Loaves and fishes, as you treat the least among you, love your neighbor as yourself, and all those other teachings of Jesus.
If it gets rid of George Bush and his ilk, I'd be happy to say we are not a Christian Nation. But if we have to keep George with his brand of Christianity, I think the least we can do is actually act according to Christ's teachings.
This question should be posed to Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the liberals.
Yes. I agree.
They must be smarter everywhere else to expect immigrants to support themselves.
Certainly smarter than our legislators, Amen.
That's the $100 BILLION question! We shouldn't be!!! People should take responsibility for themselves.
You have been misinformed. The vast majority of immigrants, both legal and illegal, are hardworking people who do, in fact, support themselves. Do not let yourself be a tool of politicians wishing to create a wedge issue for their own advantage.
We should certainly offer moral support to the immigrants, though. They represent qualities that can only contribute positively to this country: initiative, family values, and courage.
Because immigrants expect it from us. They hear how well we treat illegals so they come here in hordes.
They are smart to do so, and I think our tolerance as Americans is our own undoing.
Hense the immigration laws. But there are those that think they are entitled, and are deserving of our money and our government programs, and our markets in general.
I think that looking at this on a more local level, if I thought my family should live like the "well-off" people across town, and I went over there and told them that we were moving in and they would have to support us, put us on their health insurance, and pay us for any work that we did, I have a feeling that a door would be slammed in our faces, and we would be getting a free ride to jail.
But I guess there are those that deserve to be above the law. That mentality isn't just reserved for the rich, is it?
No, it shows how civilized we are. That we are capable of taking care of the poor and helpless. Other countries aren't as powerful, probably the ones you been to. This country was founded on helping.
We shouldn't have to support anyone who came here on their own.You are right, other countries make you show that you can take care of yourself without being a burden on their citizens.It seems we are suckers.
Quick answer; NO.
We shouldn't be. They should be able to contribute to society and take care of themselves
We shouldn't have to support immigrants. Most of the legal immigrants have means of support, or sponsors that do.
We are supporting illegal aliens via health care, education, benefits through anchor babies, etc. I want my tax dollars to benefit Americans in need.
Other nations have much stricter laws than the US. Take Mexico for example.
Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that
foreign visitors and immigrants are:
• in the country legally;
• have the means to sustain themselves economically;
• not destined to be burdens on society;
• of economic and social benefit to society;
• of good character and have no criminal records; and
• contributors to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that:
• immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
• foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
• foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;
• foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
• foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
• those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.
Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense. The Mexican constitution
strictly defines the rights of citizens – and the denial of many fundamental rights to noncitizens, legal and illegal.
We NEED to adopt the same policy.
We shouldn't.
