I feel a lil insulted, not to the guy who asked the question, but to the answers. You guys act as if you know how illegals think

" they expect USA to pay for there expenses" obviously ur not an immigrant so how do you know?

I'd like to make a few things clear

1. immigrants are not free loaders! A freeloader is basically someone who asks for money, but when people ask them they say no.

2. Most immigrants DO pay taxes, its propaganda AND steryotyping by saying all of them don't.

Exceptions:

*they get paid under the table, this is not the fault of the worker, its the fault of the boss

*they don't have a legal job, if you don't have a legal job ur not required to pay income taxes.

3. This is my hispanic homeland! and I am not gonna be made an illegal in my own homeland!!!!!!!!

4. a few facts you should know

• Illegal immigrants don't increase your taxes.

A more open immigration policy will not lead to a flood of new immigrants

Mexican immigrants are not criminals

• Immigrant workers do not take jobs from natives or lower the overall working wage.

5. The delaration of independence says that man is born with natural rights that god gave them and we can not take away

These rights are life libery and the puruit oof happiness

immigrants are people and they have natural rights as well, and they come here to try to earn happiness which is what the pursuit of happiness is, and we have no right to take that away from them

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe what I am reading. This is all so ludacris! Check this book out.... it will give you a lot of insight on illegal immigration. http://www.amazon.com/His-Panic-Americans-Fear-Hispanics/dp/0451224140



So here is how I feel. Every single day that you go to the grocery store and make purchases, you are supporting illegal immigrants. Because these are the people that come here and work in the fields and pick grapes and pineapples, and veggies at an extreamly low rate, so we can have cheap produce.

Number two.... our country was built on the backs of illegal immigration.

Number three... it is extreamly hard to enter this country legally across the southern border. Latin America has some of the most corrupt places on earth. It's not lik eyou pay a fee and it's treated fairly and you can enter.... no way!!!!!

It actually cost a person much more to enter illegally than it does legally. I promise you!

Illegal immigrants are paying there taxes too! At least here in NC. Ok, so wheather youre legal or not, you can call up the goverment and ask for a tax ID number (ITIN #) as long as you have your birth certificate....it doesnt matter where it is from. The goverment issues you this number (its a 9 digit number just like you rsocial security). Thats how they get jobs at fast food places and open credit and file taxes. I know, because my husband took one of those courses to do taxes and he had over 100 hispanics this year with their tax id numbers. It;s not illegal to do that. Our old neighbor does taxes for hispanics and he had to hire americans to come in and work for him because they had over 2000 illegal immigrants filling taxes. They are opening a new branch in 2009.

There is a huge misconception of illegal immigrants. They help repopulate areas that everyone wants out of. They create a cycle. They keep places going. They go to work and pay their lanlord and then go to the grocery store and go to the movies and so on. So they are putting money in the economy.

People shouldnt be so quick to judge.... because every single perosn comes from an illegal alien at one point at a time. If you dont believe what Im saying check it out for yourself...

This just shows how the goverment supports them. So Im tired of hearing how the government wants them out, but I guess they really need all these illegals after all or why else would they have done this...http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/itin.html.



People should really do their research...honestly... they mostly speak from word of mouth and so on. They are just repeating only one side of what they hear on tv.

If you EVER want any more info or have nay questions please feel free to email me. I have done my research.



Ohh yeah................. Illegal Immigrants are abusing our hospitals and they are having children here and throwing them on medicare and medicaid and that drives me freaking bonkers..... so that is a huge downside.



Good Luck!

Illegal immigrants are a drain on our society. Right now, we pay 257 billion for these freeloaders. They also set a bad example for the people who immigrate here legally. They should all be deported. We need to get more vigilant about this, or let the bleeding heart liberals pay the tab! The weak minded people who say, illegals pay taxes is ridiculous. All they do is take. This nation is being rocketed into poverty paying their hospital bills and paying for thier children's education. It is time to deport the illegals and seriously reprimand those who will employ them.

If we want more people to come here legally then it needs to be easier to come here legally than it is to come here illegally. Right now, illegal immigrants have little incentive to go the legal route because , for one thing, there will always be greedy employers who don't care where their workers come from as long as they come cheap and, for another, there is far too much red tape involved in the legal immigration process.

Of course not. Nobody should be able to break the law simply because it's easier to do so.



Why not?

Because it causes quotas to be lowered for legal immigrants across the world



Because these aliens are not vetted for criminal background. Legal aliens are checked to make sure they are not criminals or terrorists.



Because these aliens are not cleared of communicable diseases. Legal aliens are health cleared prior to being given a visa. Diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and leprosy are making huge comebacks in the US after being all but erradicated.



Because these aliens work illegally. They are able to do so because they (and their employers) are not paying all applicable taxes and insurances. This causes wages in certain jobs to fall below the poverty level.



Because these aliens cost on average $50,000 each, above and beyond what they put into the system. At this rate, whole states will be bankrupted by the end of the next decade or even sooner.



Because these aliens take money away from our education system that should go to legal residents and citizens. The many special programs needed to educate the children of illegal immigrants and the additional funds that enable the schools to communicate with their parents take away from programs such as music and art.



Because these aliens are responsible for the rise of identity theft. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the US and one of the most costly and difficult for the victim to deal with. Once a social security number is stolen, the true owner of that # can be denied services for themselves and their children, be denied credit, be denied government tuition loans.



The list goes on and on. There really is no benefit to illegal immigration outside of the benefits that unscrupulous employers get by cheating the tax man and undercutting wages.

No, they should not. All people who live in this country should be willing to follow the laws of our country, and if they come here illegally, that shows that they have no regard for our laws. If they break our laws by simply coming here, why should we expect them to follow our other laws once they get here?

Illegal immigrants should NOT be allowed in this country unless they wish to work their way upto getting citizenship and their greencards. This country is not a free country and not the richest country on earth to support the illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants come here and expect the government to pay for their expenses. Our country is already couple of billion dollars in debt because of the war. Illegal immigrants do help and bring the country down. Our government is slowing down because we are taking the time to deport the illegal immigrants.

No



It is criminal behavior that costs the taxpayers money, they take jobs away from vulnerable Americans, and if they don't respect us enough to enter legally, they arent the type of immigrants we want.

(http://wwwcis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html)



4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school

education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!

11. During the year 2005, there were 4 to

10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border; with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from terrorist countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine,and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.

12. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.

http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/publications.php?b=deportation _





13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. _ http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm_
