Do you illegals out there think it is ok to come to American when you so choose to?
Answer:
Well said! Earned a star for this question.
Why can't illegals seem to understand that Americans have no problems with immigrants who come to the US as long as they become US Citizens, learn to speak English and adapt to the American way of life like the MILLIONS of immigrants did when they came here!
Cassie for President!
They need to come here legally!
Learn the language, work hard, etc.
Thats what all of us have done including our ancestors!
SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE
It's always prettier in hindsight isn't it?
When our families came here, there was no legal/illegal status. It was whoever was presumed healthy and sane. Passports weren't even needed until 1918.
A brief glimpse at immigration history shows that it wasn't that simple. I would suggest studying up on NYC during that heavy immigration to understand the disease, filth, and unemployment that plagued the city during that time.
However, the beginnings of social work were formed during that time wherein women such as Jane Addams and Dorthea Dix started foundations that provided job training, English lessons, etc. to people thus helping out.
If you want something similar I would suggest going out and volunteering with immigrants in order to change that. It would be better than ranting on YA.
I have a son-in-law to be who has put out thousands of dollars to attorneys and filled out reams and reams of paperwork, all in order to legally stay in this country. Of course, he is a European and is willing to follow the law. Why should HE have to do what is right while millions of illegals flow in from Mexico to overrun our schools and hospitals? Why should THEY have preference over Africans, or Asians or Europeans or anyone else who wants to make a better life here? What makes a Mexican more entitled than an African?
Each illegal is stealing a place in this country from someone equally as desperate to be here from somewhere else. It's NOT FAIR!!!!!!
If you want an answer, you'll have to post in Spanish.
See I think that most illegal immigrants come here looking for work. I do agree that they should try to adapt to our society.but we are the land of opportunity.I dont recall "only for Americans" behind that statement!
not that i don't agree with you, but don't you think this site would be better utilized when real questions were asked? besides, it was written in English, the only people going to read it are probably American. my advice would be to eat some Prozac and take you're propaganda to a political site. you are wasting all of our time.
Yikes! While I do agree with you that the illegals shouldn't be here and I'd love to see them all get deported, I do think that a lot of them work and work hard doing jobs that aren't very glamorous and don't pay much. Nothing makes me more irritated then having to deal with someone in this country who "no speak English". And, it really pisses me off that they have a million babies regardless of how poor they are. In a way, yes, I agree they do bring down this country.
To summarize, I agree with you except for the part where you say they are lazy and don't work. I do believe they work hard.
hey man, chill. honestly that **** is harsh. You got to understand, and look at the other side. How would it feel to watch your family in the threat of death daily. What would you do for you child? Burden the most powerful government in the world slightly?
Besides an assault on illegals over MyTend.com isn't going to reform/change the system. It will only insult people, and hurting has never helped no one my friend, no one.
immigrants are not the problem, people just dont like the huge amount of Mexicans and think that it should be a fair amount of polish and others as well
and our borders have been exploited and our government backs the Mexicans and not our border patrol
The USA has lost their train of thought meanwhile dumping the us down the drain. all you people who put this person down for asking this ,are part of the problem.
its the gift of God right to ask.
You say: "But our families came here, learned the language and got jobs. Never had taxpayers support them."
History shows us that this is actually not true. Many European immigrants did NOT learn the language. Their children often had to translate for them, and many of the people that were already here complained about it. They did not always find jobs either. You have the stereotype now of the unemployed Mexican (which is not a very accurate stereotype, but that's beside the point). Well, it used to be the unemployed Irishman that was the stereotype, and later it was the unemployed Eastern European. And the idea that taxpayers did not have to pay for these people? Ha! That's pretty funny. What is funnier is that most people who hate immigrants today make the same arguments about immigrants that used to be made about their own ancestors. That's a fact.
In any case, I feel very sorry for you. You are obviously very ignorant on this subject. It is sad to think that so many people feel so strongly about something they know little about. If you are going to be filled with hatred and prejudice, at least study up on it so you'll hate something that is real. You can find dozens of books on the subject of immigration history, and you will basically find that these Mexicans are no different than your great-great-great grandpa.
agreed! your 100% right!! the immagration isnt the problem right now its the illegal mexicans invading the united states,and not willing to learn english,and commiting crimes.
Shut up and stop complaing because there is alot of people who come here to work and can't wait 10yrs to get there papers. so get used to it because i see no change coming. plus don't call me some lazy *** becaue i do work. and go to school i also pay taxes so don't call all illegails bad.
Just a simple case of sissyf**ks who can't band together and make a difference in their own country, and instead come swimming, tunneling, crawling, and begging over here. And because they know there are a lot of lily-liberals in high places, and the illegals hide behind the excuse that they needy helpy because mi bambinos are sicky, that they can do it with little threat of deportation. Well it will only get worse until we put strict conservatives in the high places. We need to put Vietnam vets in those places, not McCain-ish softies, but hardnosed tunnel rats and grunts who are pissed off. They have been through this before, trying to help a country out, and getting overrun and crapped on instead...time for serious thought of militia civil war...
First thing, taxpayers don't support them, "illegals" can't get any kind of financial help. Not even students that need help to do to college. Second, many "illegals" do work or go to school. They work picking up the veggies we eat, cleaning our yards, all laboring jobs. I have a question for you, how are they bringing this country down? Yes I do understand that they are a "some illegals" that are no good. People are criminals, low liefs, and lazy, but that kind of person is found in all branches (citizens, residents, and illegals).
Janai - taxpayers DO support illegals. Illegals have children and we pay for them to have those children in American hospitals. Then we pay for those children to go to school, get medical care...among other things.
Hospitals are going bankrupt. Schools are having to close down gifted and talented programs for American citizens so that we can accommodate all the ESL programs.
If you really want to know how much illegal immigration costs American taxpayers, take a look: http://www.immigrationcounters.com/...
you are wrong in so many places. I'm American and most of what you say is random, you don't know what is actually going on. Everyone in the US (except Natives) had family who immigrated here. they are only bringing you life down because you think about it too much, get a hobby. and also, their government won't support them, that's why they are coming here. and getting off their "lazy A**" and getting a job won't help their government help its people. you need to pick up a book.
