This article is so untrue. Who ever made these studies hasn’t been around much.If you’ve been a victim or know victims of crimes commited by these people you’d keep your opinion to yourself. These illegals are as helpful to our country as fungus is for our feet. Only thing is that we buy our remedies and they use resources meant for taxpaying Americans.

I forgot to add that grandma also learned English, maybe broken english but she tried hard. Most people just want to be able to live and have enough to feed their families, and if they are sincere they’ll strive to do that, and not send the money to Mexico.
Too many liberal bleeding hearts in this country that fail to see what they are doing to further the amnesty is just wrong for the Mexican people and other illegals and for us. But cut out the hate talk, it doesn’t accomplish anything.

Hey, I love my border brothers and sisters, I believe they have a right to come and live here if they choose, but my grandmother waited her turn and became a citizen the right way. I love my country and it tees me off when it’s laws are violated. come on now, if you want to be in this country, come in through our front door, not the back “servants entrance” Let’s lay the blame where it should be laid, at the feet of athe Mexican government, every one except Vicente Fox (who didn’t do that much for the country either) came into office poor and left rich after raiding and raping the wealth of Mexico. Then they criticize our govenment and our laws on immigration. Try to break their immigration law in Mexico and they’s throw your behind in jail so let’s stick together and do it right.

I wish I could attribute this quote to the right person, because it really holds true…”Good fences make good neighbors”. It’s simple, sign the freakin’ guest book, have a VALUABLE and NECESSARY skill, LEARN the language (I speak 4 languages because when I visit other places I have the courtesy to not expect those who live in there home country to speak English so how about you show me the same respect).

The highest source of foreign revenue going into Mexico is what illegals living in the USA send “home” to Mexico. Hence, they don’t contribute to community enhancement by putting money back in the communities where they live.
They are responsible for hospitals closing in the Southwest, welfare drain and anchor babies getting benefits that should be reserved for American citizens.
We should take a tip from Canada who revoked automatic citizenship for anchor babies in the 70’s.

Joe has it right for the most part. But the problem is hardly restricted to Mexicans. East Indians and people from the mid-east are coming over on Student visas and then never leaving, then they bring their 42 relatives and 100’s of thousands of them live here. They do NOT embrace America, they just embrace the free ride they get here. They do not try become Americanized, they not only don’t learn our language, they don’t wear our clothes, they want books, and movies, and schools all in their own language. They basically want to build another India and considering the pigsty they made out of their own country, I certainly don’t want them here trashing ours too!!

“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

No where does it say:”Under the cover of night using fraudulent documents”.

If the Lib’s get their way, we will all be speaking Spanish soon.

How can you behave like a Mexican and expect to live to the standards of an American? It is impossible, you are what you think you are and you live your life accordingly.

Ever driven in one of “those” neighbourhoods? What country do they remind you of? NOT the U.S.A that is for sure.

WE ARE AT WAR WITH MEXICO AS WE SPEAK whether you care to believe it or not…..”Border War”…..”Drug War”…..against whom I ask?….Mexico and her people, that is who.

MEXCIO AND HER PEOPLE CAUSE THE MOST HARM TO THE U.S.A. ON A DAILY BASIS THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY OR PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, ever growing and unchecked.

Radical islam has nothing on the illegal aliens as far as destroying our country MEXICO IS OUR GREATEST ENEMY and must be dealt with immediatly in the harshest of manners.

I was reading some of the comments. As for the 30% of illegal immigrants commiting crimes..do you have stats for that? Where can I find it? I’m doing a paper on immigration policy and could use that info for my presentation. My e-mail address is info@millermediators.com. Appreciate your assistance.

What a bunch of BALONEY ! My property taxes are going up 26.5% in 2008. My health insurance 15%. My car insurance 12% (no accidents or tickets). The State is going to be 660 million in the hole this year. Why do you think all this is happening? Can we keep this up?

Immigration is a complicated issue. Immigration to a wilderness area is usually motivated by the aquisition of commodities in short supply for example land, minerals, etc. Pioneers were usually self sufficient individuals willing to face rigorous hardships. Immigration to a populated area is totally different proposition. These individuals in my opinion, are escaping hardship for the most part. The one factor that must exist for succesful immigration is room for expansion. Room for expansion no longer exists in my opinion for the obvious reasons of over population and all the associated problems. Today a better life, higher standard of living, civil rights and all the relevent freedoms must be established globally. There is no easy way.

“MSM does not mention the 310 lives saved by the Minuteman search and rescue teams”

If the government didn’t restrict immigration, we wouldn’t have thousands of people dying in the attempt to live in a free country.

“the prison population (illegal alien) is now at 30%.”

How much of that stems from making the peaceful movement of people between countries illegal? Also, I’m guessing that many of those “criminals” were engaged in the peaceful import of various substances that politicians have deemed immoral for the masses.

“However, it is not about race, if someone comes to my house I expect that they knock and then it is my choice to let him in, same with immigration.”

This is not a valid analogy. You can stop people from entering your house, but you don’t have a right to stop people from entering mine if I invite a foreigner to my home or business. Right are not subject to majority rule.

While many anti-immigrants are motivated by thinly-veiled racism, the anti-immigration movement is not entirely racist - it’s also motivated by lazy American workers who would rather keep competitors away with guns than complete with immigrants in a free market.
