Some of you might say," Well why do you get a better job?,"or" Why dont you go to school?" Well i can't get a better job because immagents come into our country and take all the jobs. I can't go to school because i can't get a better job to pay for it and i can't very much if any finacial aid because all the immagants and illegal aliens come into our country and take all of our government aid.

yea i agree. public schools are too crowed. but is that really their fault? i don't think we should blame them for trying to make their life better and trying to end up in a job where they won't underpay them and where the white man won't complain that they only got the job because an employer will pay them less. i think this is more the government's fault. populations will always be growing with or without illegals. thus, we should build more schools.



but illegals do contribute financially. [maybe not much but they do.] they work under fake social security numbers but they pay taxes just like me and you. plus, what about their living expenses? they pay for things just like we do. and on top of that, their cheap labor helps the economy because since goods are produced at a lower price, people buy more, therefore, helping the economy even more.



i have no idea what you mean. because no one would come the US get a job, earn a little money, then move back to mexico. the conditions are horrible there. the only thing i could think of is that they send money to their families. but is that really such a horrible thing? if you knew your family was in need, wouldn't you come to their aid any way you can?



easier said then done. coming here legally come take months if not years. plus it costs money. if someone is in dire need of improvement in their life, they're not gonna wait around for a year or more trying to get the money & waiting on the government to help. these people don't have much to begin with and if they need help they're gonna take matters into their own hands in the only way they can, illegal immigration.

being the country that others look at as the land of opportunity isn't a bad thing.

It's hard to blame them for wanting to come here. They take all the jobs Americans don't want and they work damn hard. Many of them pay taxes even though they are not citizens. My point is you shouldn't be mad at them. It's more a failure of the Mexican government to keep Mexicans in Mexico and the American government to prevent them from getting in.

They can't do that anymore because those jobs are taken...Also, illegals may be unskilled labor when they get here, but they aren't stupid. they learn valuable trades and then they make sure that only their friends and relatives get hired on construction sites. For every dollar illegals make, costs American taxpayers $4. and those taxes they are supposedly paying.....You have to have a social security number to pay taxes so what they pay ends up going NOWHERE.

The people, the taxpayers are being taken advantage of at every turn. A climate of political correctness has opened the morons currently serving congress to even consider allowing these leeches to remain here in the country. They have shown a blatant disregard for the rules and laws of our society, and there must be a price for this.
