I know this nation was built upon immigrants. However, the immigrants coming here today are doing it completely the wrong way (the illegals). I love immigrants as long as they are legal. The illegal immigrants will continue to corrupt America. We allow
anyone to come in here, pop out babies like machine guns, (bonus
check for welfare, which means more money) and allow anyone born here
to become automatic U.S. citizens. Think of the U.S. as a small jar.
Think of the world as a massive glass container. The marbles
represent the people...as long as you try to put more and more in
from the large jar (represents the entire world), to the small jar
(U.S.), eventually, it will start overflowing. That is what is
happening...overpopulation is HUGE right now. The rate we are going
at, we won't ever be able to build enough roads, houses, schools,
hospitals, etc., the way we are growing. The economy is bashed every
single year. I have no idea how much the budget is for illegals, but
it has to be billions, even trillions of dollars. They come here, get
free food, health care, rob from Social Security, live off of
welfare. The more kids they have, the more checks they get, so why
not have eight to ten kids? The financial burden is horrible...no
telling how many trillions these illegals are costing us yearly. How
do we stop this crisis? Well, just take the benefits away. If we
didn't have all the FREE things to offer, they wouldn't be coming
here. The education...HAVE ALL BOOKS IN ENGLISH. Don't let the
illegals get college education...take them back to Mexico if they
can't get citizenship (it's not like it's hard in the first
place...it may be a long process, but not hard.) The unemployment
rates will continue to rise because they come here, don't work or
anything, get everything for FREE, so why should they work...they
just get everything handed to them in the first place. If they get
paid to sit on their butts eating burritos all day instead of
working, why not? Bringing more people in to take jobs...BS! If a
legal U.S. citizen needs a job bad enough, he/she will do whatever
they have to do to get that extra money. If you can't handle the
answer, don't ask the question.

The U.S.A. was built by immigrants. Unless one is "Native American" then he is an immigrant (or at least his ancestors were).
The immigrant is a necessary part of our culture; he enrichens our land with customs of his homeland and his history.
The illegal alien OTOH, is a detriment; a lawbreaker and quite a bit of the time a drug smuggler or dealer.
Immigrants are welcome.
Illegal aliens must be deported.

I really cant think or too many negative... HARDLY WORKING WAS RIGHT, we have positives, cuz look at those jobs the normal amiercan wont work, our immigrants do those jobs for little pay, that keeps our prices or potatoes and such down and affordable, they are not taking our amerian jobs, there are many of jobs hiring, so that it not a good excuss for them not to e here... most of them pay taxes that our government is able to keep form the non filing immigrants every year...
