Lawdawga, you are absolutely correct and not confused at all. Illegals have no rights at all. For some unknown reason, they seem to think they have rights. Some of them have even said that the States have no authority over them. I'm for rounding them up and holding them in barbed wire the same as the Japanese got right after Pearl Harbor. I can't understand why some of our Senators and Congresspersons fail to understand what "illegal" means. The United States should break off all diplomatic relations with Mexico. Mexican President, V. Foxx or Fox is encouraging the illegal entry into the U.S. Let's put the troops down on the border with orders to shoot to kill. The Border Patrol does not have enough personnel to stop the flow across the river.

Do you know WHY illegals find it necessary to come here? Do you know that the ONLY Mexicans who can get visas nowadays are the rich ones with lots of land (most of what rich people have is actually "old money")??? Did you know there are NOOOO jobs in a lot of Mexico? Did you know the hospitals tell them that their dying children can get no help if they're poor? Did you know the police down there are money obsessed and could really care less about law abiding? More and more innocent Mexicans are getting killed by this corruption (especially the narcotics-dealers!) Most of the illegals trying to get over here are just trying to escape their own government.. YOU COMPLAIN because we happen to live in a wonderful country, but put yourself in their shoes.. I believe in getting rid of the Mexicans with drugs and bad records no doubt.. But others are just trying to have a life without worry. "Sueno Americano" American Dream

There is suffering all over the world, poor people all over the world, countries with no jobs all over the world, do you suggest we allow everyone, in every country, that can't make a living there, to emigrate to the US? If these people can't come legally, don't come, I don't care what their conditions are. To address another of your posts, contrary to your beliefs, not all houses in the US are, or were, built by the Mexicans, I cut my own grass, we clean our own house, I paint my own house, we do our own laundry, watch our own kid, and if all the illegals went home tomorrow, the effect would be a lot less then you believe.

I yam what I yam....Popeye

Yea, i understand what you mean.. it's a good point, but these guys are already here and they are not hurting anyone, honestly. Mexico is a country bordering us. We are no North America without them. I don't believe in deporting the harmless ones, but the REAL criminals. I am not saying open the borders, not by any means. I do agree with a lot of what those who do not like them here say. But I don't think heartlessness is necessary.

And about my other post: I'm proud to hear that you take care of your house and lawn.. and your kid.. (although i don't know how the kid relates) But not everyone is you. Mexicans work fast and efficiently.. And that's what a lot of people want. That's why they're hired. Not so much because they work for less, but because they beat deadlines and such. I know many that work for around $20/hr making over $1000/week.
Otherwise, your point is a really good one, and with that, the borders should be closed and the illegals should not be granted amnesty. But for the ones who have a link here (american spouse or family), they should be able to obtain a greencard somehow... of course they would have to prove a clean record and length of time here...
i'm gonna be honest with you, i am just defending people i know...

If things are so bad why not fix them. If enough illegals stayed in Mexico and did not send their hard earned money back, the Mexican government would have to reform.

Re read what I wrote.. about being KILLED.. about being POOR.. the government? It's more the drug dealers that run the country. And unfortunately, we're their number one customers over here. Sad, but true.. The dealers will kill anyone who tries to change the way the country runs. Take the case of Luis Donaldo Colosio, for instance. He was a presidential candidate and was all about stopping the cartel and drug dealers and make Mexico a just country. Then, he was shot in the head in Tijuana during a campaign. His assasination is a result from angry and determined drug dealers. It would take a miracle to change the country.

... and they should be treated as such. Deport all criminal illegal aliens now!!

If they get deported, I hope every house and everything they've ever done gets torn down as well.. All food services will slow down.. Your house will be torn down.. all though we americans buy houses we can't even pay for, resulting in losing them anyway, right?

I don't agree with a lot of illegal stuff either, but I'm no heartless racist.. Illegals only made our economy go up, it was our elected congressmen, presidents, etc.. that made it drop. You sound like one of those people who see corruption and murdering in other countries and think, "sucks to be there" and then changes the channel to see what else is on.

What have illegals ever done to you? I can garuntee that they duck out of our way all the time cuz they know how unwelcome they normally are. And for the ones who choose not to learn english, they should stay out of the way until they can communicate properly.

As far as the illegals marching, i think it's stupid.. if they are here illegally, they are stuck with no rights and that's just life. They're lucky to be here like they are, so they need to just stick to what they're doing and not cause some dumb scene..
