Shouldn't we stop illegal immigration at all cost ?

The US has been founded by white settlers, that is why we are a western country, not a native tribe. If we let all kinds of illegals in like mexicans, africans, arabs or whatever people who don't even speak proper english the country will suffer. Immigration yes, but only legal, well educated, hard working people who speak ENGLISH.

Update:

Of course we should not expell all blacks, I'm not a racist, I just want America to remain an English spoken country and I hate crimes caused by illegals.

Update 2:

the United States was not created by native tribes, but by white settlers. I'm not concerned about native americans but about the United States of America.

    I agree that entrance should be by legal means only. The only thing I can say is that I think countries who are supporting terrorism in any fashion should NOT be allowed any immigrants to this country, nor should they own businesses or property.

    The land belongs to the people strong enough to take it and hold it.It was taken in war and it is held by power.The USA belongs to Americans.And that's a fact,its not what you want to hear but it is a fact.Nations all over the world were formed thru war.Its a historic fact.This is 2006 not hundreds of years ago.You cant change the fact that we are here ,we own the land,its ours and we aren't going anywhere.This tired old argument has been hashed and rehashed,Its old like the playing of the race card.It means nothing.Come into the new century.We live in the present not the past.I love this nation and will defend her with my last breath. I find no threat in empty rhetoric.I am not afraid of losing anything.I can and will protect what is legally mine from any and all aggressors,foreign or domestic.

    And America can credit people of all races not just white for this great country.We are all colors,all races,all heritages but we are all legal Americans.

    The white settles you are talking about are illegal immigrants, thieves not settlers. The land was settled by Native Americans and then stolen from them by the ancestors of those now complaining about illegal immigration.

    You are right that you are not a 'native tribe'. You are not natives of the USA at all.

    You also probably don't speak any of the languages of the true settlers of the USA. What makes you think that a language your ancestors brought with them across the Atlantic has any more right to be spoken there than any other foreign languages?

    You are nothing but an ignorant, ranting racist. Correction to your 1st line: The US was founded on the genocide of Native Americans and the slavery of people from Africa by White Settlers. Maybe you should learn a new language to expand your mind and try living in another country as well as studying history.

    It should be stopped but to stop it totally is unrealistic and to try to stop it at all cost will cost the taxers NOT the illegal immigrants money which should be used for more important things like education and health care. Illegal immigration is definitely getting out of hand and there should be ways that should be created then the current methods to prevent it since the current methods arent working. It would be impossible to get rid of all the illegal immigrants in this country as it would also disrupt economy severly if that was the case. So something efficient and effective needs to be in place.

    Absolutely -- we must act now.

    If we don't, then 20 years from now, or less this country will resemble Mexico and latin America. The problem with that is, there is massive corruption -- banks stealing money out of people's checking accounts. Having to bribe cops and officials just to survive. Additionally, the murder and kidnap rates are high as well as sexual crimes. That behavior is being imported into the US. The US already has enough problems, no need to import more of it.

    What people don't seem to realize is that the people who rule Mexico are not catching any flak for how they treat their citizens. The leaders of Mexico need to be held accountable for their actions. The US elites see what the Mexican elites get away, thus they are working tirelessly to transform the US into more of a thirdworld nation. As a thirdworld nation, upwardly mobile Americans (of every ethnic group) have less say and lose their clout due to buffer created by the 50 million illegals and thirdworld (unskilled) immigrants being brought into this nation.

    I agree with you to a point but the whites as you put it was not the only race that conquered the USA. You forgot about Hispanics, Chinese and so on.,and we the USA is a western country because is in the Western part of the world.For your information...Now going back to immigration ,, we can't take in every poor, sick, uneducated citizen from the world. If we do,,, our standard of living is going to suffer, is to expensive and not good for our country. Right now we could see what the million and million of citizen from Mexico is doing to our education systems, our health systems, our cities, our jobs, our economy and our way of life. And all they want is to better their country of origin with our money, the money they send to their country is draining our economy. We have to control our incoming of immigrants because who ever come have to be to help us not to take from us, like the illegal aliens are doing right now. The incoming immigrants have to come when we decide when not when they or their government wants. So lets start thinking like Americans and stop the invasion of illegals that is hurting our country, The United States of America. Good Luck.

    Your statement sh owes your ignorance but we do need to work to close ow er borders . We are a nation of all races but we have elevated oversells to higher standards which the overwhelming elegal immigrants are threatening.We have enough of ow er own problems dealing with ow er throwbacks GANGS without the Mexican drug cartels working with them. Allot of immigrants mean well but most want to get all they can & take it back to there country so they can live in luxery. I wish theyed stay in there country & work to make it better, not come here & drain ower country down.

    LOL--have you heard today's product of the public school system? If speaking proper English is the standard, we'd be a low smaller than our current 300 million!

    By your statement, should we expel blacks, since they didn't found the United States?

    As to your initial question, no illegal immigration is not such a problem it should be stopped "at all cost."
