illegal immigration ( Archived) (361)

I wasn't going to reply, but against better judgement here goes anyway ...

Do you know what the ramifications of deporting all illegals would be? The American ecomony would feel ill effects to losing a big part of it's workforce (low paying jobs no one else wants a lot of times).

As for language, you're in California. Have a look at the history of your state.

As for illegals having the same rights as citizens, I won't disagree with you there.

I'm assuming of course you're referring to Mexicans as this is the Current Events, Politics section. It seems to be a luke warm topic lately.

Oh, here we go again, I'm Legal, send a letter to your senator, this been done several times.

Well what are we supposed to do..just let everyone come in?? Their own country need to start taking care of their own people.

I say send them over to Iraq so they can earn it then...lol

I know what you are talking about, but I don't agree with you. Having lived in San Diego for 28 years, I grew to love the cultural differences and I took several classes to learn Spanish. I worked in Tijuana for two years, and was welcomed by most of the people who live there.

I miss Mexico and working in TJ more than any job I have ever had. and I miss the food! Many times, I was embarassed to be among the Americans driving down there in the rush hours. Most did not stop at the crosswalks for the school children to cross. They did not observe the speed limits and treated the Mexicans second rate.

Only once do I remember the horrible hurt feeling of being treated unfairly by someone because I was white. It is a feeling that cuts deeply and I wish it upon no one.

MOST of the Mexicans who crossed illegally did so to earn money to send home. MOST of them worked at jobs the high school kids would not even do.

I grew up in Ohio and learned the language enough to have fun with it. Most of the Mexican speak English, most of the world does. I do not agree with what you have said at all.

Lion a lot of them have gone to Iraq and have earn citizenship that way.

If you are not american indian, somebody on your family was a ilegal alien at one point and with out him or her, you will not be on this country.

Some of us at one point have hire one of them to fix something.

Bottom line!

They came here "illegally" and we are supposed to cater to them.

Yes Canadians too. Big personal problems for me as my house was being remodeled by a Canadian who was deported and can never return to the U.S.

I know illegals are not just from Mexico, but her post implies that is who she is referring to, since she is in So. Calif.

LOL...I have some native american blood. Excuse me but my family came over the legal way..lol

Maybe I met up with a better "class of illegals" but I never met any who expected to be catered to. They worked ten hour days, and did not claim anything more than a paycheck.
