What do you think about legalizing Immigration?
Answer:
Illegal "Immigration" is a misnomer.
Immigration has the connation of LEGAL entrance into a country.
Illegal means Illegal.
Actually only something like 24% of farm laborers are illegals.
Also, I have never, EVER, seen a Hispanic on the show Dirty Jobs.
MS-13, cocaine, racism, all that can stay in South America, because sorry, but a number of illegals do do that.
WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
i say deport all illegal aliens now
NO Amnesty
i think ur right.! im indian and most of family is over there and right now i do noe that america needs the indian military for the war, at least thats what i heard.
I think you are wrong. Immigration has always been legal. I and many people have no problem with Mexicans comming here. We just dont want them sneaking across the boarder. Not paying there fair share and living off of the kindness of others. If you immigrated here legally then I am proud to call you an American. The boarder should be secured.
No..My heritage is American I am born here and that is what I relate to. If we paid Americans more we wouldn't have to pay Mexicans at all for any jobs.
You people don't want to give to this society all you want to do is take, and don't give me that BS that we can't get along with out you!
Immigration already is legalized! There is a specific process.
Immigration is legal, if you come here via legal channels.
"Calling an illegal alien an"undocumented immigrant"
is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist."
The work will get done one way or another.
Mexicans can migrate legally or not at all
We do not need more immigrants, legal or otherwise. We will get along just fine without them. NO AMNESTY!
Immigration is legal!! That's why there are LAWS that deal with it. Nothing gets done?Oh...you must mean in the E.R. , the welfare line, most hospitals, Medicaid offices..Hey, I'm not Hispanic, but I don't expect to stick up for my German, French and Scottish ancestors because I'm AMERICAN!! Get it!?!
No, the U.S. needs its own people to work. And the people need fair wages to earn a decent living. We have more unemployed citizens than we do illegal immigrants. You do the math. It's not about laziness; it is about practicality.
I think you should drink more of that Mexican tar kool-aid. I think you listen to too much propaganda about how much America needs Mexico. America doesn't and never did need Mexico. Exactly what have Americans never got done?
And exactly what did those Mexicans do for Mexico?
If Mexicans are such hard workers, what the hell is wrong with Mexico?
I think you are way off base. There is no excuse for breaking our immigration laws. We have legal immigration. But there are maybe 12 million illegals in the US who did not bother with legal immigration.
The illegals are pulling the US down, not building it up. American employers are exploiting illegals by paying them illegally low wages. Illegals do a lot of jobs that are not really needed, like landscaping, baby sitting and house cleaning. These things can all be done by the people who hire illegals. About 76% of the people working in agriculture in the US are citizens or legal aliens.
There are currently about 150 million people employed in the US who are not illegal. A lot gets done without counting work done by illegals.
Can't remember where I read it but the US reached it's peak sustainable population level in 1978. The amount of births pretty much equaled the number of deaths and the system ran relatively smoothly.
We should have closed the door then...
what part of 'NO AMNESTY' dont you get?
what the hell's wrong with you?
We already have a legal immigration process.
Plenty gets done without illegals in this country.
Immigration IS legal, just not the way so many Mexicans do it. And by the way, the very idea of the U.S. not getting anything done without Mexicans is ridiculous. just think how much more we could get done if we didn't have to track your criminal butts down and send you home!! And since you asked, I think you're full of frijoles.
Total Crap!
We never needed Mexico before and we don't need Mexico NOW.
Mexicans need us and our jobs and our comfort and our life style.
They fought a war to be independent from USA and if they want to help a country then they should go home and make changes in their OWN COUNTRY!
Immigration is not illegal--get your facts straight.
ILLEGALLY entering the country is A CRIME and should be punished by arresting, detaining, jailing and deporting ALL immigrants who are here with out LEGAL PAPERS!
WE CAN PICK OUR OWN STRAWBERRIES!
I agree with Ben C:" If Mexicans are such hard workers, what the hell is wrong with Mexico? " LMAO!
you don't make any sense - your rationale for legalizing immigration is so mexicans can work here and if they don't nothing will get done...wth?..Maybe you want to get back to the economics book and see what kind of effect legalizing immigration would do to our society.not only the economics (i.e., standards, wages) of our society but security as well as drugs..You're hispanic..okay...but that doesn't mean that you have to "stand up" for legalization of immigrants.
We need Smart Borders, and Bilingual Education.
Doing it the wrong way should forfeit any chance for many years. Besides, there is normally a surplus in agriculture most of the time.
Here's why I am opposed to legalizing illegal immigration in US.
1). Too many illegal Mexican gang members in US such as LA
2). It would be rewarding ALL illegals, even those who do illegal activities.
3). More illegals will cross the border and this process of legalizing illegals again will continue
4). The state of California cannot afford them: hospitals will still close down because too much spending on poor people. Our English speaking generation will degrade because the Mexicans will speak Spanish all the time and slow the class down.
5). Too many people, not enough jobs because of competition.
6). MAKE those using welfare who are able-bodied and not mentally retarded do the job illegals are doing. (have you seen how able-bodied most homeless are in San Francisco?)
Also, they're going to want higher paying jobs, equal opportunities, more money, more leisure time and then who's going to fill those positions.
We have laws to prevent chaos. This is chaos, which we do not want.
Have you seen on TV their major protest where they carried too many Mexican flags? You know where their loyalty lies.
First of all, your question is mis-worded. Immigration IS legal if the immigrant goes through the LEGAL channels to become a citizen. The question should be: What do you think about amesty for ILLEGAL immigrants?
My answer to that question is I do NOT support amnesty for illegals. They are sponging off this country. They need to go back to their country. We would do just fine without them.
The correct terms are legalizing illegals. Sure why not. There is always work. People on this site answering your question are not really concerned about unemployed people. It is just another excuse.They are stuck in the " what about me" stage.
That is your opinion not a fact !!
If every illegal left, AMerica would still be OK
Everything would get done !! Saying that it would not is a lie
Immigration IS legal you brainiac! You just have to apply for it LEGALLY.
The point, apart from being a drain on society, is that if you want to work in the US, then you do so legally. Illegal immigrants use our roads and utilities and infrastructure and services yet do not contribute to their funding.
Beyond that, the border is highly porous meaning that not only are the illegal landscapers and roofers jumping it, so might terrorists. And the harsh reality is that they likely already have done so and are just waiting to strike.
I think your statements are ridiculous. Things got done just fine before the Mexicans started flooding this country. It was legal Europeans who built this great nation.
NO AMNESTY!
