Why do you think Immigration is such a hot issue right now?
Answer:
It's a hot issue because the legal residents want one thing done and the illegal invaders want something else. I am a natural born citizen and my wife moved here from another country but she followed the rules.
If they truly want to solve the problem. Shut down the borders and basically make it impossible to do anything without being legal. You want a driver's license, you have to be a legal resident. You want a job, legal. Mexico doesn't put up with illegals in their country so why should we.
If you really want to remove the illegals, institute the fair tax and they will be forced to leave because they will not be able to afford to stay.
See below as to why a hot button issue
The last part of question made little sense
My ancesters are rolling over in their graves now
What are your ancesters doing now?
BUILD THE WALL
Our conutry is poorer than it has been in the recent past. When we are doing well we are more willing to accept others. When thigs are not going well, and we are tightening our belts, we tend to be less generous and accomidating to those who compete for the same social programs and monies as we do.
What about my ancestors?
Bob has the right idea.
ask hospital reps why hospitals are closing down, it's because of illegals. my 13 year old came home the other day saying they are trying to learn spanish because of a kid (boy) who can't speak english, they need to communicate with him. the only thing i asked her if he was legal. our kids are suffering in school because of kids who can't speak and read english. if i have to i will move my kids further south to get them a good education.
Well, I think one of the issue is jobs in the U.S. There are few, and there are fewer that pay well. The big difference betwen immagration and our ancestors is that people were needed too fill the job market. People are there too fill the job market, but big buisiness wants to pay less than the minimm wage. Which there is no way one can live off of minimum wage.
Our forefathers did it legally. The min. they got here, they wanted to be Americans, and to be called Americans, and if they didn't speak english they wanted to learn english. Yes it is a hot issue, but think about this, what if we didn't have the war going in Iraq, it would be a heck of a lot hotter.
Because during periods of social and economic turmoil, such as the years of war anti-immigrant sentiments tend to flare up as people look for someone to blame of their own miserable life. We had seen these happening throughout history.
Because a lot of semi-literate idiots are pouring into our country. They won't learn English and expect us to bow down to them.
Our goddam idiot government and president just don't care. The real idiots of this country want open borders..
One would think that if we are fighting a war on terrorism, that WE COULD PROTECT OUR BORDERS!!! But we can't because we live in the United States of the Offended
My great grand parents landed on Ellis Island with the clothes on their backs, and little else. They went through medical screening before they were allowed in. They were never given any hand outs, nor would they have asked for any. They learned English and were proud to do so. They waved the American flag, not the flag from where they came from. They farmed this great land and worked hard with very little. They raised the greatest generation ever. The people of WWII. My great grandfather kissed the ground here every day of his life. He loved it so much.
These were great people. Unlike the illegals, they became part of the great melting pot, and although heritage is important, being an American was more important. This is the land of opporturnity for those willing to obey its laws. It is sad that the illegals and the people that support them don't see it that way.
they did`nt do it for the easy life I`m sorry I`m talking uk.my opinion.
Please Moody.......it's not JUST WHITE people you fool. People from every race are against this flood of illegals. There are people who firmly believe in the rule of law and I suppose some who don't think it's a big deal at all.....until something illegal is done to them and then they're the first to scream about laws being enforced for their protection. Can't have it both ways though. I want my laws enforced. Period.
One doifference.
Our ancestors were welcomed here. America benefited from them.
Right now America doesnt need uneducated scum. There is no benefits for nation. Only for them.
People are fed up with having the illegal alien criminals sponging off the taxpayer. The attitude of the illegal alien criminals is sickening. They come here and don't care that they are breaking the law. They DEMAND rights & services they don't deserve. Theyclaim that this is THEIR land, when it isn't. They show a complete disrespect for our country and its laws. They are insulting.
Note: I said NOTHING about race. This is the group of people, not a race of people.
I think that immigration is a hot issue because there are more than 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants. I have learned Spanish and made friends with many of them, and I want to say that most of them are good people. They have turned out to be my best friends. I think that this nation should focus on deporting those who commit criminal offenses and provide a pathway to citizenship for the rest. We need the workers. Another reason that immigration is a hot topic is racism. A lot of people don't want to see large numbers of Hispanics in America. A lot of states are passing mean-spirited and racist laws against Hispanics. I found one source that lists state and local laws. It appears that in Louisiana, for example, that "driving while Hispanic" is illegal. The police can now question someone's immigration status. These laws are beginning to have a negative impact on Hispanics who were born here as well. States like Georgia are cutting welfare benefits to illegal immigrants, even the children.
Because we are being invaded from the south by illegal aliens that think that they could come here and do what ever they want or take and we shouldn't complain because if we do we are all racist. Remember 9/11, well that was a hot issue then and now, this invasion and Teddy Kennedy have a surprise for all Americans next week in the Congress. He and his mafia are going to give over 12 + million of illegal aliens amnesty so they could stay here and vote for them. How do you like that?? What a liberal !!
Could it be that yours did it legally and some of the others are jumping the line, preventing good people from entering the country? Could it be that Americans regardless of color are loosing their country by puppeteers, that are being paid through contribution to sell America out? Of course it is all very democratic...One should read the planks of Communism and compare it to what is currently going on! All of our ancestors paid taxes, served in every war, and worked for what we have...Also any country that cannot control it's borders is no longer a sovereign nation and has no national language! I'm 1/4th Irish and anybody that does not agree with their propaganda regardless of race, by the way is labeled a racist! All of us are still struggling!
Most people like to "discuss" it because it sometimes gets the tempers flaring. They can get their aggression out this way and forget about their miserable lives for a moment...I only say this about the ones who turn it into a big racial showdown. Not to reasonable people.
Immigration is a hot issue because over 15 million undocumented people have illegally entered into our nation and are changing the culture and demographics of the USA forever.
Along with those who came here illegally, there are those who would like to harm us, and because we don't know where anyone is, it will be difficult to measure the security of this nation until the problem of illegal immigration is addressed.
If your forefathers came to this country legally, they had to have health examinations to ensure that they did not import any communicable diseases into the general population, today those health guarantees are gone. Noone knows why there are so many outbreaks of e coli, salmonella, food poisoning, and food contamination at the field level (e.g. the unclean spinach issue a few months ago), but it is happening with regularity.
We have to look out for the protection of citizens of this nation above all.
President Bush's sister-in-law is a Mexican and he has nephews who are Mexicans. That's why. He doesn't really care he is letting everyone in. He's outta here in 2008 anyways!
The diference is many today cross without papers and/or authorization. In this day in time; especially after 9/11, poeple are realizing the need to protect our borders from those who wish to harm us. While most Mexicans wish no harm (let's face it roles reversed I'd prob take a swim across the river myself) there are also smugglers of various sorts including those of human traficing both free and slave.
At best this is a law enforcement issue. At worst this is a military one. I don't get involved much because I am neither.
Please dont bother writing your comments with facts that are not known.. Please list the sources used to get the info. because everyone can make up things... i agree with everyone though, something must be done..
Thanks for listing your sources guys. Its good to see the proof.
Each Illegal aliens cost taxpayers $57,000 during their illegal stay in our nation, they do get food stamps for American born anchor babies, they get medical treatment for free and don’t pay their bills, 86 hospitals in CA have closed including the hospital I used to work at because of non-citizen non-insurable peoples, (illegal aliens). Treatment for multiple drug resistant TB cost $250,000 a year, and almost all of these people are illegal aliens, new cases are citizens who were exposed to the deadly disease, not only do illegal’s destroy our cities infrastructure with their over breeding, they fill our schools, all of the schools in the last 20 years were built do to their population growth not ours, increase in crime by African Americans can be attributed to job loses by the black community, millions of jobs are networked away from citizens and set aside for cheap illegal alien labor that floods from across our southern border, and don't try that fruit picking ****, only 1% of illegal aliens work on farms, this is the Truth, don’t water it down, don’t try to hide it away from the eyes of the people, we all ready know what’s going on, and its time we do something about, if our government won’t then its time we create a new government by the people and for the people.
My fellow Americans, We are in the fight for the very existence of a great people, the American people. Americans are of many colors and ethnicity but we all call ourselves Americans, not Mexicans, not Koreans, not Germans, we are Americans nothing else. We have liberal Americans, Conservative Americans, libertarian Americans, Socialists Americans, many beliefs and ideologies but we are Americans all the same. We believe in Freedom, we cherish our right to bear arms, we express the right to vote if we so choose to do so, but a great people has been called to account. We have grown weak, our enemies have surrounded that city upon a hill, and have laid siege to our nations cities. One by one cities have declared their loyalty to the Nation of Mexico, one by one sanctuary cities are born from the ruins of once great cities, cities built by Americans for Americans. Our borders have been overrun we stand now on the brink of a great revolution, we must now more then ever send a message to the Politicians of Washington, we are fed up and we are not going to take it anymore! We will not stand by as our nations cities infrastructure is collapsed under the weight of the illegal alien scourge, hospitals are overwhelmed, schools are bursting at the brim, the cost of living is at an all time high, crime is up, are prisons are rioting, killer gangs, drugs, aliens, and disease spread unchecked across our Nation!
If you did one thing important in your life, it will be to fight this endless flood of illegal aliens, stand united with your brothers and sisters of America, The United States the People of this great experiment must become United in our resolve to end this madness, bring order to our streets and communities, we must our we will perish. We cannot fail, our we will watch as our nation burns to the ground, if we must then we will put down our very lives, and that of our children’s lives, we must risk our fortunes, and our own safety, this is a fight that must be fought, everything is now up to our generation, it is our time. I call upon all Americans take up arms if you must, but fight damn you fight, spread the word, Americans must stand united, don’t give in don’t back down, every generation has its revolution its time for another one.
Those that choose to separate themselves from the great body of America, are not Americans, they add additions to the front of the Title American, to separate themselves, we must prepare for the coming war, it will be bloody, but it must occur, we must take back America for Americans ONLY!
With Honor and Respect
