You do realize that our ancestors fled from Europe, right? The situation 200 years ago was FAR different than today. It doesn't make sense to relate the two.

How can you say Carlos is lazy and looking for a handout? They can't receive federal aid due to a lack of Social Security Numeber. On top of that, most Mexican workers manage to work here, pay their living expenses and still have money to send home to feed their families in Mexico. Sounds pretty hard working to me.

Hey Jon, Is it cool if I stop by your house some time, crash on your couch for a while, and raid your fridge? Well, you probably already have lots of people doing that already huh?

I mean, how could you turn away a homeless man. And he shouldn't have to ask to come in, so I guess you don't even bother with locks on your doors huh?

Or do you have different principles for your house than you do for your country?

No, of course you don't. You have convictions.

What's your address?

Well I am native ameican and white so I have a claim both ways. I se your about founders, but the nation people are breaking into is popular because of the settlers like it or not. Mexicans are not breaking into borders south of mexico and yes there has been racism like chinese exclusionary rules. Racism is not what we should be about. You want to be in america, learn english com the legal way and I welcome you as a brother whatever color

NOT only what you said, but also illegals pay taxes that they never file a return for, they tend to use fake ss numbers to get jobs, so when tax time comes around, the federal government receives millions of dollars free from these people. Not to mention when they pay for gas or other things they buy they pay taxes on.

no one says they are not hard working most are, but illegal is illegal and if i could i would shoot carlos as he crossed the border. There are ways to do it legally
