  • This will solve our bad economy? Jail employers? Cripple entire industries? Spend billions sending back 12 million people, who are going to come back again anyway? Have them dump loans, mortgages, car notes, credit card/store payments, default by the millions? Take their children who are here legally, feed & care for them with goverment money? AND have to do it all over again with us getting no where? ***LISTEN*** Theyre not going back & we arent sending them back! LEGALIZE THEM & GET OVER IT!!!

  • @StLukey7 WE DON'T THEM WE DON'T NEED THEM! There are things more valuable than filthy money, like the demographic content of your country - mainly retaining the northern european makeup of the U.S. that gave our nation its distinct political, legal, and social institutions which create our NATIONAL CULTURE! Deport them all! and Yes Jail the employers who hire them! Furthermore, with a large concrete block wall there would be no illegal immigration problem, it worked for East Germany mornon!

  • @StLukey7 If current trends continue europeans won't be a majority in this country in fourty years, consequently it's not really your problem because you likely won't be here to suffer from the resulting turmoil b/c your middle aged. In comparison, I'm young, it's my problem. It will potentially be a problem for my chidren. This problem must be fixed, it will involve state and federal law enforcement working concurrently. If you can put a man on the moon, you can remove 12 million illegals.

  • @Jsledge85 Hispanics are Europeans.

  • so you want to be like germany? go live there....the wuropean countries are always undergoing different forms of gov. and now we know that the ding dong like you in arizona who said, "we dont want them we dont need them" (sen. pierce) uhmm....he is saying...."uhm...ok i changed my mind...we do need them after all."

    YOU PEOPLE ARE TOO FUNNY. THATS WHY I DONT TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

  • @StLukey7 Leaving the country would take all of the fun, out of sweeping all of the human filfth that came here illegally ( and legally) back from whence they came. I stole that quote from a famous speech delivered by Fidel Castro. I don't know who Sen. Pierce is, but he is a hypocrite. I'm not from Arizona, I don't even live in the Western United States. You better start taking us seriously, because your friends are going to have to leave and go home soon. This is not Mexico!

  • SEN PIERCE IS ding dong BEHIND THE ARIZONA LAW. Liar Gov Brewer (look up her lies on YT) just signed the bill. Folks in TX are waking up.. where the HB12 debate was scrapped & now officially dead, & Conneticut where the dream act has passed. U BETTER WATCH IT. The tide is turning in 2011 & you better get used to having nannys teach your children spanish, being fed at restaruants, having your roofs installed, streets repaired, vegtables picked by hispanics who R gonna send their kids to college.

  • @StLukey7 Well guess what the U.S. Supreme Court just said that employment verification and the "bussiness death penalty" are legal. While the Conneticut Dream Act is a step in the wrong direction, this legislation is another reason to elect Republican candidates in future elections. Futhermore, this legislation is ridiculous during a prolonged period of economic austerity. HB - 12 is still going before the Supreme Court! Pack your bags esse, and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

  • @Jsledge85 you pack your bags and ill kick your ass as you leave. i was born here.....ese, my ancestors are from texas 300 years,...in the coming. The spanish were the first to step on this continent. you are smoking something if you think that a law is going to make someone leave....there will always be sanctuary cities....they arent going back and the 14th ammendment isnt changing.....face it, half your grand kids will have spanish lastnames.

  • @StLukey7 You're not American, your children will never be American. Under the original constitution you wouldn't even have citizenship! So, what if you were the first. We conquered, setteled, and built the U.S. This nation is the product of our hands. You live in this country because we tolerate your presence. While your right about the 14th amendment for now, it in all likelihood want survive a genuine political crisis in this country. We will eventually wake, and when we do you'll be sorry.

  • @Jsledge85 its funny how when i answer these objections incontravertibly...someone has to step foward and delete them....so much for being open minded. this is why you side is afraid to take on the LULAC activists like my self...you can not win at all. youre in over your head and it is our call when we decide to vanquish you!

  • @StLukey7 You'll vanquish us? Who is the majority in the U.S.? Who owns the most firearms? Who controls state and federal law enforcement? Who controls the armed forces? Who has access to the state/corporate infastructure needed to produce mass amounts of chemical and biological agents? Who has likely known how to artifically engineer retro-viruses that specifically infect humans with dark pigmentation since the mid-1990s? We have, that's who! We wont need camps this time.

  • @Jsledge85 this is why youre VANQUISHED by your own little scheme. You'd never agree to debate our side in a lincoln-douglas debate. you'd never be taken seriously now that you said this stupid crap. The majority of the US is for helping the immigrants getting a path to citizenship. Moreover hispanics have been involved in all inventions that you mentioned. Go ahead & doubt it. if you are stupid enough (as i suspect you are) challenge me on this & ill send you proof & youll get VANQUISHED again!

  • Blaming this on liberals or conservatives is useless.

    Politicians will change when we DEMAND that change, regardless of their politicians affiliations most politicians are spineless if they read millions of comments from angry constituents they will change their tune very quickly I promise.

    If you are against illegal immigration keep making noise, keep making comments on youtube and other social networking sites. We are the majority. (80% want something done about illegal immigration)

  • Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

    The Netherlands and Belgium are more crowded than Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and assimilating with them. Why is it only white countries that MUST be mixed. This is just White genocide.

  • This amnesty wont work for the only illegal alien (undocumented worker, greenguy, seasonal workers). Alien means: unkown origin. Even though they are people like you and I, America doesn't have the backround on them. This means if you where a rapist, drugdealer, serial murderer. You can come on down and wipe the slate clean after you commited the crime of passing the boarder illigaly as well. That's right America, this is just as shameful as laws against pedophiles. Uncle Sam spits in your face!

  • why would illegal mexicans want a greencard. then they have to be taxpaying citiczens, be convictable by laws and not deported, then American corporations cant embezzle money and tax evade, then the United Corporations of America can't defeat the cost of living raises and lower min wage to a $1.00, devalue higher education and it's goal to be a pathway to a better finicancing career or occupation; making just a simple certificate for an extra penny. It's all about company corruption and crimes!

  • It is interesting that the party who does not get the majority of the votes from the hispanic population is so concerned about more hispanics entering this country. How big of a problem do these people pose compared to the amount of attention is poured into this topic? Wouldn't our time be better spent on the critical issues facing our nation? These people didn't cause the economic crisis or the health care crisis . Lets get to the core problems and work together to find solutions.

  • Sen Barbara Jordans Bi Partisan comission came up with a dozen ways to end illegal immigration way back in 1995.

    . None of her ideas were implemented, all tabled, sandbagged and dismissed. The problem is not hard, the hard part is getting leaders to enforce the laws.

    go to numbersusa(dot)com to fax your senators for free on immigration.

    please help spread the word.

    All people that favor mass immigration benefit from it but smear those that speak out against mass immigration.

  • Hey, Americans, the videos below are your future if you don't demand an end to illegal immigration and SHAMnesty.

  • I highly reccomend that you read up on how ooorly Mexico treats its own Central American immigrants...los que viven en casas de vidrio no deben tirar piedras.

  • Its the same European Trash that infected the Americas... the gachupine spanish Zionists...

  • We need to rephrase the argument: race and national origin do NOT matter. The issue is the skill and education level of immigrants. Low-skill, high school drop-outs are a net loss for tax payers whether they are from Maine or Mexico, Pittsburgh or Puebla. And unfortunately 60% of the immigrants from Mexico are high school drop-outs.

  • I disagree .. we should stratify races by DNA ... those who have been here for 40,000 be on the top rungs... and the Eurotrash bigots, the destitute criminals and prostituted that were release from European prisons.. the overzealous clergy and the rest of the vermin that infested the Americas should be repatriated...

  • lets face it honkite eurotrash squatters & anchor babies... half of the U.S. is occupied Mexico.. accept it or get back on your mayflower... Half of the U.S Miliatary is now Mexican... some of the fools who keep demonizing Mexicans as "ILLEGAL" aliens... dont realize that there is no such thing... there is NO felony or misdemeanor status for being on U.S soil or airspace.. honkites just live in fiear.. the red scare.. the yellow scare ... now it's the red scares' turn .. coward honkites...

  • As of Jan 23 09, the US military is prohibiting US marines from visiting Tijuana, MEX. Why? Because Mexico is a ghetto and is on the verge of collapsing. Why do racist multi-culturalists always romanticize Mexico but yet then ignore reality and facts? Why is Canada a pleasant civil country, yet Mexico is corrupt and backwards?

  • 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.

    More than 380,000 "anchor babies" born in the United States in 2005 were to parents who are illegal aliens; making those 380,000 babies automatically U.S. citizens. 97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid by the American taxpayer.

  • kami... you must feel stupid saying idiotic crap like that. it's honkite eurotrash like your self who are opportunist and white collar theives robbing the country blind. I mean .. do you not realize what white trash like the leaders at AIG and the other white banksters and corporados are doing... do you think that people are worried about Mexicans when we are in 2 wars caused by honkite trash like yourself... that are costing us 2.4 BILLION PER DAY !!! Are you a court jester or just autistic?

  • 2006 (lst Qtr) INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigration

    62% of all "undocumented immigrants" in the United States are working for cash and not paying taxes, predominantly illegal aliens, working without a green card.

    95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

    83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.

    86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens.

  • "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-tossed — to me; I lift my lamp beside the Golden Door." This statement is now a blatant lie & needs to be made true as soon as possible. The French made the statue of liberty and put those words on it before they gave it to the U.S It is not the official immigration policy of this country. The words should be removed from the statue.
  • If anti-racist immigrant placement programs like the Hebrew Immigrant Aid society have such a deep, anti-racist, abiding love for people of color, then why doesn't Israel open up its gates to third world multiculturalism, and diversity? Why is Israel's immigration policy ethnic Jewish-only? Why does the Palestinian minority have to live in seperate neighborhoods & attend different schools? Why is interracial marriage illegal in Israel? Furthermore, why no black people in Israel, or Hispanics?

  • Good point. Its because they don't want to be drowned out by non-Jewish people. Apparently, it only applies to Israel though.

  • The Zionist commitment to racial purity has led to expressions of bigotry at the highest levels of Israeli society that would inspire outrage in respectable circles in the U.S. An Israeli company has required thousands of Chinese workers to sign a contract promising not to have sex with Israelis. A company spokesman said there was nothing illegal about the requirement. Israeli law forbids the marriage of a Jew with a non-Jew. (Associated Press, December 23, 2003)

  • The new number to call to report employers who are knowingly hiring quantities of illegal aliens is (toll free): 1-866-DHS-2-ICE

  • WORDS ENGRAVED ON OUR WONDER FUL STATUE OF LIBERTY

    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-tossed — to me;

    I lift my lamp beside the Golden Door.

    USA: GIVE ALL THE MEXICAN LAND BACK TO THEM THAT YOU HAD STOLEN. YOU ARE TRESPASSING!!!!!

  • For one, the land lost after the mexican cession was land that was conquered by the spanish and inherited by the mexicans after the revolution. THe spanish actually took those lands from the indigenous native americans that lived on those lands, which by the way did not include the people of Mesoamerica, an area where prominent peoples including the Aztecs originated from. So how do you figure that mexicans deserve that land? Check your sources.

  • cari-regardless, Emigrating to the USA...

    WORDS ENGRAVED ON the WONDERFUL STATUE OF LIBERTY in NY harbor, USA...

    "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-tossed — to me;

    I lift my lamp beside the Golden Door."

    ...This statement is now a blatant lie & needs to be made true as soon as possible.

  • Your cause is very noble, but unfortunatly outdated and very naive. Perhaps you should look at the facts and consider the future of this great nation and the future of its people and children.

  • cari-I am looking to the future, & welcome a mostly Latina Usa. With all the room in this country we are oblicated to share it. Up until now, murderous Anglos genocided those originally on this land,& continue raping,torturing,enslaving,kid­napping & worse today. Slave labor & low wages still R making Anglos fithy rich, but they share none of the wealth with workers.Our destruction of land, water, & air in just 200years is hideous.Others civilizations can teach us what we need - How to Respect.

  • I agree that american history is a very disturbing event. I will not hold my kids or my neighbors kids held accountable of what happened long before i was ever conceived. Mexicans are under represented and we do need reform to protect those that legally live here. But this fantasy that you want is just that...a fantasy. I want my kids to have insurance, an education, a budget for loans and production. I cant have that for them if this country is flooded by illegals. (continued)

  • Mexicans being legalized will created more taxes.. a stronger more viable work force... a increase in labor, intellectual resources and middle class... but the reality is that honkite squatters from Europe dont like Mexicans so they lead the lemmings with the typical scare tactics.. boooohhh.. the martians are coming... run for it honkees... take cover .. they're gonna take your low skilled and mid range jobs.. honikites might really have to work instead of loafing and screwing off .. ruuuunnnn!

  • unfortunatly ther arent any intellectual resources in immigrant workers...thats a fact. Try again.

  • Is that right ??? I know quite a few professionals who work as waiters and domestic workers who hold licenses in other countries... but are marginalized here becuase honkite eurotrash are blithering cowards.. who KNOW that the work expectations will rise due to Mexican industriousness. .. lets cut the crap honky ... stop with the honkite scare tactics.. Orsen Wells died already...

  • i have a number of intelligent mexican friends, and i happen to be mexican too. You're just a frustrated racist.

  • contradicting yourself again coco-nut ?

  • Honestly, one of the biggest misrepresentations is "immigrants do the work that Americans won't do..."

    A more accurate statement would be "immigrants do work at wages and conditions that most Americans wouldn't want to do, for the benefit of corporate interests..." Promote decent wages and working conditions and Americans would be happy to do most of the jobs.

  • I personally have a job working on my septic systems... I've put an ad in the paper many a time .. NOT ONE honkite trash has applied.... and there are many unemloyed honkte trash ...

  • @jraider2 It's a circular problem, "corporate interests" offer low wages and no benefits because of the availability of illegal immigrant workers. If the illegal immigrants were to be removed, these same "corporate interests" you refer too, would befored through supply and demand to raise wages w/o government legislation. During the earlier half of the 20th century, the US essentially halted legal immigration at one point, and guess what? We had a 2% unemployment rate, the lowest in our history!

  • I am a bit confused...if being hard working and industrious were the keys to having a prosperous, peaceful nation, why is Mexico in such terrible condition?

  • Well... lets see J.... perhaps if the US was not in mexico doing business with the Creol spanish and elite japanese... perhaps if spanish creole trash hadnt created racial heirarchys... perhaps if the caste system didnt exist in Mexico.. perhaps if Mexico didnt have a European economy that drew from it's GNP... the industrious worker of mexico would have a chance.... Revolution is the key... but what would honkees do... come in and install their puppet goverment and wait for the honkee looting

  • Because of CORRUPTION

  • @Reaper2thaaztecs . increase in intellectual resources? from mexicans? ahahahahaha yeah you really convincing huh? The group with the HIGHEST drop out rate and the LOWEST rates of fluency in ENGLISH is gonna provide us intellectual resources and a middle class.. You will provide us ghettos, crime, and teen pregnancy haha

  • (continued) can you please point out what civilizations to learn from? I dont know one type of people that would not fight for their existance. And the US is doing just that. And mexicans should fight in mexico for reform.

  • You should consider the world's future. The US is not the world. Goods can be bought and sold all across the world, why shouldn't the people move around and be able to work anywhere they please? And I mean anywhere... Brazil, Spain, Japan. That would create better jobs everywhere.

  • I know someone well want to comment to me,,,dont,,, i dont care. I am 4 generations of irish people that had to fight for a cause. My great great grandma Hill landed in New York and wagon trained to Oregon. 2 weeks before she died she told me about the trip across our great land. My point is nobody appreciates AMERICA anymore. If you dont like it,,, get the FUCK OUT,,,And leave the money here for those of us that love our country!!!!!!

  • The bill makes a lot of sense. It'll be back on the floor and it will pass this time. It should have been passed as well as the DREAM Act. This guy being a former Reagan admnistration member should know better.

  • Ed Meese?!? The same stooge who tried vainly to discover a link between violence and pornography?

    Get real.

  • this is why the dept of labor, the us chamber of commerce, the new york stock exchange, the federal resevre bank, the wall street journal, and God knows how many unions and fortune 1000 corporation are backing the undocumented workers....hey heritage how many us economic forces are backing you guys up?

    NOBODY!

  • yeah and all this folks info was delivered to me in pdf and at the end he calls me dirty names insults me and im happy to report to everyone that you arE losing the war. HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA­HA!!!!!

  • What a reasoned commentary about the Senate Amnesty Bill. Just like in 1986, the benefits come first and the enforcement will never be.

    There can never be amnesty or the United States will be destroyed because more illegals and family members will come and come. Enforce laws currently on the books and illegal aliens will self deport. Contact your Senators and Representatives.

  • I'm not against giving a path to citizenship for those law-abiding, responsible illegals who would pay a fine AND go through the normal naturalization process of learning about this country and learning English. BUT, the BORDER MUST BE SECURLY CLOSED FIRST!

  • um...well what is worse child porn and pedofelia, or driving drunk? they are both bad...doesnt mean we now take a stance against white men who download child porn disproportionately. Geez!

  • Another reason we don't need illegal immigrants here, because we have a hard enough time keeping up with the people who are here LEGALLY.

  • 100 a day are killed by trashy white uneducated Americans and at least 100 more a killed by Black American criminals so what is the point of highlighting the illegals'crimes?

  • Because you stupid FUCK! white and black people are legal Americans and Illegals should not be here in the first place...if they were not here like they shouldent be americans would still be alive ...its sad we have to explaine this to you!!!!!

  • What's with the "Trashy white"? What's with the "Black American Criminals"? We see right through you. Look in the mirror and it will reflect a true racist. What other Americans are racist? Chinese Americans? Japanese Americans? Canadian Americans? Native Americans? What you really mean is that all Americans are racist. That's not likely. You have shown us your true nature. We have no need to highlight illegals. You have done that for us.
  • The reason for highlighting illegals killing Americans by driving drunk is there ILLEGAL! and should NOT! be here in the first place. You could not figure that one out on your own? Wow what are you 5 years old? Danm now do you see why Americans are so frustrated.You stupid people could not figure out walking if someone did not give you instructions...lmfao

  • Watch this bald pro-ILLEGAL immigration hippie get blown out of the water.

    watch?v=nIpPptrJa9A

  • Are you just a fucking moron or what? It is an issue! 12 people a day are being killed by illegals,many more die each day due to illegals driving drunk,our hospitals are closing because of them.Cali has few trillion dollar debt.AND if it were not 4 illegals they would have a surplus!!!These FACTS you liberals cant handle...Read the facts jack dont try to cloud the issue

  • Please provide the source for those statistics.

  • and how many more get kill every day by legal immigrants a day you dont make sense on your comment

  • Because you stupid FUCK! white and black people are legal Americans and Illegals should not be here in the first place...if they were not here like they shouldent be americans would still be alive ...its sad we have to explaine this to you!!!!!

  • the reality of this bill is that it was a careful compromise between political parties to reach a fair and equitable solution. no bill is perfect and there are no guarantees with any legislation. the nation is constantly changing. change is part of life. instead of nit picking over details like how many pages is a bill we should contribute to the discussion in meaningful ways to reach an ecumenical solution

  • in the first minute of this thoughtful video post i had about 6 questions. all of them with what i believe are simple answers but do not get asked or answered. why is it important that the bill was drafted behind closed doors? what is the significance of mentioning it is 300/400 pages? is probationary status the same as full citizenship? without more thorough reality checks you will continue to see mostly rhetoric

  • Mandio has spoken the truth. The average american is both ignorant and does not want to see beyond our borders that they do not know what is REALLY happening out there.

    U.S. controls latin America's economy and therefore is responsible for the mass exodus.

    To top it all European Americans need a scapegoat, otherwise they would attack Companies that hire "illegas" believe me, it would solve the problem PRONTO!

  • Quit whining. We as Americans are nothing but dumb, political party, sheep. We let our milirary brothers/sisters die for big corporations, lobbiest, etc.. to allow them to continue to fill their pockets with more and more wealth. Just watch this election? The only candidate that wants America first, Vet. Ron Paul, is being ignored by the big news media, aka Big Corporate supporters. who will you chose in 2008? Get off your butts and vote America!!

  • I agree with you...Instructors/professors anywhere are often uninformed and give out wrong information rather than say, "I don't know." I want the illegal immigrants that are here and law abiding to be able to stay; but they should do background checks, and have been here 5+ years, and pay taxes, work, and stand up for the United States; NOT THE COUNTRY THEY ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF!!!

  • we have to stop this before it totally destroys this country..we're a ntion of immigrants sure..but there are rules you cant allow this nation to be invaded by interlopers

  • Actually, our government is allowing them in and not doing anything about it because they are busy fighting for a larger wad of cash that is being burned out in Iraq right now.

  • Perhaps it will surprise you perhaps it won't but i mostly agree, the people that run this country care only about their own power and wealth and dont give a sh*t about the average american,trouble is the democratic party is in the hands of demogogues and special interest groups too,

    limosine liberals hollywood types and many of the same fragmented minority advocacy groups that threaten to divide America.

  • i'm going to surprise you maybe not, and agree,the people that run this country are only interested in their own power and wealth,trouble is the democratic party is beholden to many of the groups that threaten to tear us apart.

  • Please contact me I can show you.

  • show what?

  • Americans today are so misinformed and have a narrow view of world policies. U.S. controls Latin America. Need proof? Google "Neoliberalism Latin America". It is ironic that people say "they are invading our country" when we clearly run their country. So, before we (Americans) are quick to judge our Latin neighbors we need to step out of our American bubble and open our eyes to what really is going on. I know Americans are smart but we need to stop thinking in generalization or mediocrity.

  • Right. Americans should get rid of NAFTA, the WTO & the american politicians out of latin america & maybe there wouldn't be that problem in the u.s. those racist people need to be protesting against their government that overthows democratically elected governments in latin america.

  • Thank you. Finally someone has done their research and understands the real reason behind latin american downfall and how it affects the U.S.

  • Man, the people here in the US like having scapegoats. I'm glad you know what's happening as well.

  • Most 'legal' immigrants are also illegal - they may have a legal piece of paper but most of them break the law - they lack the skills claimed, have fake degrees from jungles in India, and they falsely keep American workers out of the workforce. That's FRAUD and FRAUD is illegal!

  • You're a moron.

  • Both sides use gerrymandering on the basis of race (among other things) to expand their power. Sometimes minorities are packed into a distric to lessen their influence in other sorrounding areas. The GOP has done a poor job of reaching out to hispanics, (w/ Bush being an exception) so it is their own fault.

    If the Dems had a bunch of Tom Tancredos on their side (and the Reps didnt) Hispanics would run to the GOP tent.

  • You live in an area that's 90% percent White, spare me your hippi spycho babble, you have no idea what you are even talking about, move to East LA for a few weeks and see how you feel.

  • I've lived in Pheonix before I moved to Oregon. I didn't like it because of the heat not because of the high Hispanic population. There is quite a few russians, islanders and hispanics in the surrounding area where I currently live.

    Do you like people making shallow assumptions about you based on your skin color? If not then why do it to others?

  • Now this guy has his facts together.

  • Its ironic that some immigrants who are fleeing from more socialist nations, would come to a capitlistic nation for oppurtunity, and then would for govt handots. But I believe that a lot of Hispanic vote Dem, because of anti-immigration rhetoric on the Rep. side, not because of Dem promises of handouts. I believe that immigrants are heaviy influeced by America's culture of individualism, & more especially in their descendants.

  • ..."thought that economic libertarians (assuming you are one) had no problem with outsourcing."

    Partially true, libertarians are ok with US companies building factories oversees in order to compete, we are not ok with companies fleeing the US because of higher taxes or regulations. Closed borders, limited # of visas, a complicated buearucratic immigration system are all regulations of the labor market.

  • Socialism isnt good economics either. Its the goverment handouts that are the problem not immigration. Government controls on the labor market is more like socialism than capitalism.

    Deport immigrants and many US business will go south of the border as well to make sure they can get their source of cheap labor. Not only that but US agriculture will go down the toilet as well.

  • If you suspect Illegal immigrants are somewhere Call ICE *****1-866-347-2423 *****.  They are conspicuous (emphasis on second syllable) and can be spotted easily as they look like weebles.

  • I hope god judges you when you die as you have judged others.

  • Fear and ignorance is all the protectionists and xenophobes have to offer.

    America has the greatest economy and also has the greatest amount of immigration (legal and illegal).

    Learn basic economics, and get over your irrational fear of foreigners, because your hateful ignorance is destroying America.

  • I haven't read the entire thread so maybe this is irrelevant. I assume there is a debate over language and English acquistion and I'm responding to this perceived discussion.  If I'm off-target, I apologize but I hope that I've still been of interest.

  • I applaud you for your knowledge of French. Knowing a second language at any command is a very valueable tool and enriches us in many ways aside from language skills. A well known Latin American writer wrote that knowing two languages is like having two souls. Now that I know multiple languages, I agree whole-heartedly.

  • English is the language of BRITS... Nahuatl is the language of Americans.. Crakces dont know this... guess why?? , yeap!, they aint Americans... just angry hateful squatterws, whos time has come.. God Bless!

  • ....sentiment of the weak.

  • LOL.. Crackers should be removed from america, this treason should not be tolerated by any REAL american, and if you are WHITE, you aint American, so stay out of american issues Crackers, you aint american.. pay the 400 year fine for being illegal firstm then we'll lend a ear!

  • after 400 years.. Crackers are still on welfare, and getting by on the hard work of others (blacks and browns/reds and even asians.. ), i say , round up all the cracker haters and give'm over to al qaeda so they can behead them..

  • See whats happening with the jena 6.... blacks and brown will unite and kill the offspring of satan once and for all, let thanks be to GOD!!! fuck Crackers. kill one , be a hero. kill many, be a legend.. i wont.. im white, but you all should!

  • LOL.. Crackers should be removed from america, these treason should not be tolerated by any REAL american, and if you are WHITE, you aint American, so stay out of american issues Crackers, you aint american.. pay the 400 year fine for being illegal first then we'll lend a ear!

  • Yeah, yeah... I wrote the numbers down. All you do is copy and paste your silly stats and avoid a brainy exchange. You're no piece for me like that. Anyone can cut and paste anything. It takes brains to argue, support and win. You're a loser and you know it.

  • Oh, and americans like you are the reason I and many others around the globe (specially the French) have so much fun pretending we don't speak english at the local Walmart when a redneck-looking guy asks us something in English without asking us first if I can help or if we speak your language, most of you americans are so rude (because of your limited social skills) and don't know about it or simply think the world is there to kiss up: Go F@%$ yourselves.

  • actually I was in Nice last summer and tried my best at speaking to them in their language and they were still bastards. I know I was hacking their language up but i was trying my best and they should have been more receptive. I have taken many years of French, but like everything unless i use it on a daily basis I tend to forget it. The longer I was immersed in the country, the people and the language the more I could remember of the language and the more It became second nature.

  • My experience with latinos is that they are highly appreciative when you at least try your best to speak Spanish. Honestly, I haven't had a problem with French either. In fact the only way that I can speak 3 languages (other than english) fluently is from the generousity of other people whose native languages are not english. But most Americans don't even speak a second language at any sort of practical level. The reason why is simple.

  • Until now, we have never had the need to. We are almost geographically isolated. We live in a country that is bordered by both oceans, an English speaking country (Canada) and a Spanish speaking country. We've managed to get through without learning Spanish, or any other language for that matter. However, in a globalized economy such as ours, this cannot last forever. We are one of the only countries where the majority of its citizens only speak one language.

  • Many Spanish speakers DO make a huge effort to learn English. Native spanish speakers in the US also make a huge effort. But acquiring a second language takes a lot of time and effort and doesn't happen overnight. I'm resentful when people say that immigrants don't try to learn English; most of them do. I teach ESL classes every week and my classes are always full. Other acquaintances that I have constantly beg me to teach them English.

  • The fact of the matter is when you're working a 12 hour day (if you're lucky enough to have only one job) and working with people who share your language, you seldom have time to practice. You can't pay for classes because your job does not pay a good wage. But this doesn't mean the effort is not there. There is a huge influx of new immigrants, especially in Georgia. I watch as people I've known for years grow from speaking no English to speaking better than many native English.

  • It just takes time. It takes people who are willing to volunteer their time to teach it. I am a full time student. I am taking 21 credit hours, that's seven classes. I work 30 hours a week. But I still find the time to teach English classes twice a week because the demand is there. I work exclusively with a 6 year old girl from Mexico three times a week.

  • am one of twenty volunteers and all of our classes are full. I help organize a library in a community highly populated by spanish speakers. Everytime I go to the library, there is hardly room to sit because people are there studying, you guessed it, ENGLISH.

  • What would really, really impress me here...(and would definitely show me you're not a typical american) is if you could, at least try, (I mean, I know what to expect, but humor me) to get your ideas across in any other language (forget spanish, that would be unfair)... or is it that americans have always thought to themselves: "why do I have to bother? let them do ME a favor and speak MY langage... I can say "hello" "I don't speak your language" and "please" in 20 languages... and you?

  • OK, now you're actually thinking: You're right it's Iraq not Irak (that's the spelling in spanish and got carried away but bet you didn't know that right? Yes, you're right again, It was the Japanese, not the Chinese I gess I like the chinese better, sorry again. And California signed on behalf of the whole country? that would be excellent news even if they came from you.

  • Je parle francais un peu. Mais je ne suis pas bon a parler francais parce que j'habite en etats unis et je ne parle pas chaque jour. Et vous, quelle autre langues vous parlez?

  • parlez vous

  • Your spelling isn't exactly something to look up to:... ... "this ideology would ad to the success of our..." ... did you mean: ADD?... ... ... mettled?.. did you mean MEDDLED? I'm a native spanish speaker who has never, ever been to the US or any other english-speaking country and this is my command of your language, what's your excuse for not spelling right? And let us not digress... please.

  • yes I meant meddled.  Like as in,"If it weren't for you meddling kids and your dog, I could have gotten away with it."

People will go where they won't be fu#%&@. There are a couple things you can do though: Cut your dependance on mexican labor to 0% and get your fat asses out in the fields OR shut up and take it.

  • The lifetime fiscal impact for the average illegal is $55,000 to the American taxpayer. In a five-year span you personally pay around $11,000 a year to illegal aliens every year.

    As disturbing as these statistics are our do nothing politicians in Washington still refuse to do anything meaningful about it.

    And it's not that the stats are not available to them, and all of you for that matter, they were compiled by the F.B.I.

  • I like your numbers. (don't know if their real though, it's easy to type nonsense here by radical, racist and ignorant people) The fact remains the same: You have not travelled enough OR you have travelled blinfolded OR only travelled to rosy, well developed touristy destinations OR you don't care about the social impact (in the world at large) of american imperial policies in the name of democracy and freedom OR you're a Bush supporter OR You're incredibly dumb.

  • Immigration will continue growing simply as a result of american neo-liberal foreign policies which intend to make the poor, poorer and the rich, richer. This is not your planet pal, Americans have been the strongest proponents of globalization, there you go, globalization is globalization, with all its consequences, good and bad (immigration is one them) not only the ones you like or the ones which are convenient to you. So, start growing accustomed to it cause I can't see a way to stop it.

  • Every person in this planet has a right to have a decent, dignifying way of life, what makes you better than any other human being? People will continue to go from places where opportunities are scarce (a direct result of neo-liberal economic models) to places where chances are better. Unless this economic model stops (which I seriously, seriously doubt), migration -legal and illegal- will continue. Mark my wordws, open your eyes and stop being silly.

  • US citizens are getting precisely what their government has bargained for for very long now. You did not expect things to continue being this uneven in the world for long, did you?, Well, if you did, that only proves my point: You have not educated yourself enough and just don't get it. The Theory of Chaos establishes how complex systems (like society) behave over time... ... out of space here... more on next coment.

  • Very complex systems like society MUST regulate themselves or simply disappear. In a nut shell: The big fish will die if there's no small fish to feed on. The question here is: Who wants to be the small fish? and the US has been the big fish for a while now... how long will the system hold before a social collapse? You better start praying for things to even up before that my friend, if they don't, your greatgrandchildren might end up being "aliens" themselves.

  • Did you get it now or do I have to continue breaking the news to you and taking you to places you don't wanna be? It's incredible how people can be so insensitive to the situation around the globe. Millions starve around the globe while McDonals and other major fast food chains discard hundreds of tons of food every day because it no longer conforms to the american standard.

  • So, all in all... why has illegal immigration not only stopped but increased over time? Simple... american companies will continue to hire cheap labor AND american politicians will continue to "harvest" the immigrant vote AND You lazy american workers have grown way too accustomed to you post-industrial, information-based economy and lifestyle to even consider, for just a quick second, working the land with your own hands and swet old-style. You got what you paid for.

  • LOL.  Everything you wrote assumes that all U.S. citizens are an affluent relative of paris hilton and has never worked a hard day in his life. Why do you just assume that americans don't do their own farming on their farms. don't own their houses, don't work minimum wage jobs. To bad everything you stated doesn't matter. This is about people who do not respect our laws, our social systems, and our people then expect to be rewarded fro their despicable behavior.

  • I meant to say,"assume Americans own a house."

  • The minimum wage here is 5 dollars a day. That's what the least qualified worker makes an hour in the US. From there, it's safe to assume most americans don't know what starving is. Do you know UNESCO's definition of extreme poverty? well, 70% or more of mexicans fit in that category. Your fault? maybe not. Can you do something about it? doubt it. Can you stop illegal immigration, you can bet your butt you can't and you won't as long as thing go the same way.

  • Despicable actions? The american agricultural production would simply collapse totally should mexicans decided to stop working there for two weeks, and if you don't know this already you should read about it, said it before and will continue to repeat it: You are ignoring everything around the matter, you just wants things to continue like they are. The bad news for you is: NOTHING IS CONSTANT, BUT CHANGE. Change is what you dislike, get used to it. You have no choice.

  • It's funny how you mexicans feel slighted and blame everyone else for your country's woes but don't do anything to fix it. Instead you run from it like the pussies you are yet continue to say mexico is the best. LOL why are you proud of a country you run from? does that make sense? It is not America's fault Spain imposed a cast system there that still persists to this day. It's the lazy ass natives fault.

  • You wrote: "It's funny how you mexicans feel... bla, bla bla" ... ... I Must've touched a nerve there... sorry. You now want me to believe you're "laughing"...(yeah right!) That's what people usually do when faced with brutal reality and they can't handle it. How old are you by the way? You are either too green to understand or too rusty to care. Either way, there's nothing you can do. It's alredady 17 million "aliens" in the US and the number will happily go up. Who wants to throw a tantrum?

  • My use of your language might've lead you to believe I live in the US and ran from mexico. I live in Mexico and don't even think about going to your racist place ever, don't need to. Doing fine, so much that I can spare an hour to make your life a little more miserable than it already is. Why don't you get it? Mexicans will continue to cross the border for many reasons you or your government don't want to hear about. Have you ever heard of Karma?... Swallow it!

  • It's the US against the world. Ask anybody who's finished college (by the way, have you?) if they believe the US is handling international affairs decently. If americans continue ignoring other peoples' rights, then some of them will realize: "if you can't beat them, join them"... Why is this that hard for you to get it?

  • I can SEE, either you are blind or you want people to belive you are. I have good reasons to be grateful now after reading your comments. I started this whole thing with some resentment but you have successfully managed to turn it into... a softer felling of compassion becuase of your shortsightedness and mental handicaps.

  • And, well... it's just a shame that even in the US... with all your great nation's goodies and wealth, you cannot buy yourself a new brain, can you? That's one of those things one is born with. Sorry you got less of it than some of us ignorant, despicable, smelly Mexicans. Not every mexican is easy to handle buddy, surprise!!! (watch out next time you blurt nonsense in front of a mexican while you're on vacation here, it might be me)

  • Who's laughing now?

  • I am. HEHEHE you spent an hour refuting the truth. Me and 90% of the U.S. citizens could care less what you think. And you're right, there is nothing constant except for change. We are ramping up for mass deportations using ex-military bases as detention centers. As well as sealing the border. Amnesty will never happen, it would start a civil war.

  • You really are something. Sealing the borders? I thought you were at least a little sensible... Anyone knows that's wishful thinking. If you don't care, then stop replying, don't bother, that simple. (or am I pushing your butons?) Which truth are you talking about? Your shortsighted one? A civil war? LMAO... That really is the best redneck joke I've heard this week besides Glenn Beck's... you really have me in stitches! Stooooooop!..

  • And please do me a favor, will you. Read my posts and reply to my opinions just as I have done, nut just go on brain-farting.

  • All you do is call me names or say that logic is a lie cause you have no good reason or argument for rewarding criminals. It is cheaper and better for all parties involved to Report & Deport ILLEGAL ALIENS--- National I.C.E Number: (866) 347-2423

  • What logic? American Logic? like not signing the Kioto agreement? Invading Irak and planning to invade Iran? nuking the chinese in 1945? Killing millions of veitnamese over nothing? The logics of tortured prisioners in Abu Ghraib by your beloved army forces? The attacks on the twin towers concocted and executed right from the very White House? wasting food when people die of hunger? Segregating blacks until the 50's? Is that the logics you're talking aboout?

  • First off, california signed the kioto agreement mr.smaty pants. iraq is spelt with a q and I was agianst the war and bush's illegal and evil regime from the beginning. We never nuked china mr.smarty pants, you might be thinking of Japan.
