you should of passed the reform dude. It is hurting you man

[kmanceltics]

@beautifulerii Yes and do you know how Arizona, Texas, and California was part of Mexico. The Mexicans claimed all the land that they saw with there own eyes. They didn't even have to have any civilization there. What happened next? In 1846 Americans moved in and defeated the Mexicans making it OUR land with our OWN laws that people must follow if they live here. Maybe you haven't seen the problems with illegal immigrants in the United States because you live somewhere where its not a problem.

White = American and Non-white= no-american?

Why some americans call themselves whites? if many many americans are non-whites like eric holder or president obama?

@Rampage368 Whites can't go to countries like mexico.

they run the risk of being arrested, and having thier families milked out of every dime they have just to have them freed and sent back. Mexico has no problem doing that to us citizens and expecting hard working tax paying AMERICANS to support illegal aliens who do nothing but take our jobs and leach off the system.

I have no problem aginst mexicans who are legal citizens but i would like americans to have some jobs too.

Most of the comments are very ignorant because they are very clueless of the reality of the illegal immigrants.... millions of immigrants cant aquire a simple drivers license or social security # and the outcome of it its billions of taxes dollars never seen..fear of driving, fear of calling the police, fear on trying to better themself's knowing any moment their dreams can be taken away...lets focus more in helpling the ppl whos help us everyday of are lifes...your stabucks attd,mechanic,waiter
