Illegal aliens are people just like us, their blood runs through their veins like ours. they have familys,feelings. ever since this immigration thing has been going on,they have gotten the shitty end of the stick! they are to blame for all the bad things that go on in America.Yes I'm for the illegal aliens,and proud of it. I'm also a catholic and I was rasied to belive that we are all equal in Gods eyes! And I give praise to all those who feel the same. God bless all of you illegal aliens and your familys!

First of all we need immigrants just not illegal ones and it is no great mystery that you agree with helping the illegal immigrants being you say you are a catholic well if you can believe in a book about a guy that create miracle's but let thousands of baby die every day or lets there be wars then if that were not enough you have a almost all male group you call the church that molest children on a almost daily event.



We do not blame the illegal immigrants for coming here to make a better life for there families it is the Employers We blame. It is not the hard working law biding illegal immigrant that is giving the immigrants the bad rap it is the other criminal acts that are going on the crime the drugs that come here with the hard working immigrants.



Compassion that went out the door when they start protesting in our street demanding we change our laws

Compassion it went down with the two towers

We are called racist just because we want to secure our borders we never flew any other flags upside down or rewrite their National Anthem or called them racist names like "Gringo" we just want to secure the borders and now we are racist people with no compassion

I think screw the rest of the countries close the borders lock the doors tell every one to go to HELL

Were will it end

We have TOO many people already living in poverty in the U.S. to be even MORE BURDENED with the poor of OTHER countries WHO BREAK THE LAW AND ENTER ILLEGALLY!!!!!!!!!!!



Accordingly to some polls, some Journalists and other Economists and experts, the US is already a 3rd World Nation and has been since the 1990's.



Yes, that WAS before Bush, Jr. came into office.



Points made WHY the US is a 3rd World Nation:



* Our National Education level is not in the top 10, and some subjects not even in the top 20.



* The actually Unemployment rate is much higher than the National Average because many unemployed people no longer qualify for Unemployment and many never applied for unemployment.



* We Import more than Export.



* American Jobs have move overseas to find lower employment wages in other Countries.



* We have more Children not receiving proper Medical treatment or healthy foods than Nationally reported.



* The average debt most Middle Class or Lower Class is higher than they will ever be able to pay off in their own lifetime.



Just because most people can't see us as a 3rd World Nation doesn't mean we are not. Only history will be able to tell that.



WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT OURSELVES BEFORE WE CAN TRY TO HELP ANYONE ELSE OUT. MEXICO AND OTHER COUNTRIES NEED TO DEAL WITH THEIR OWN POOR AND QUIT EXPORTING THEM TO US!!!!!!!!!

I understand that they're people, just like the rest of us...and, just like the rest of us, they have lives, families and feelings...but none of that gives them the right to arbitrarily decide to ignore certain laws. To me, it's not about believing that illegal immigrants are inferior people, it's about the simple belief that breaking the law is wrong. It's wrong no matter what country you're from, no matter your skin color. The laws are in place for a reason and whether you agree with them or not, they are the laws and there are consequences for breaking the laws. You choose the action, you choose the consequences of that action.



These illegal immigrants could have chosen to enter this country legally, there are provisions for that. However, instead of following the rules, they chose to break them. That's their choice, that's the gamble that they took and they've got no one to blame but themselves if the gamble doesn't pay off the way that they'd like it too.

Im with you buddy, but some people have a personal agenda against this sort of thing (God only knows why) so good luck on this. I actually went off the immigration topic for about 3 weeks because the answers were so stupid and braindead.

OK: Let's make your liberal vison a reality for just one second...after all, "they have feelings"....just like you and me. Oh, how beautiful a day would be if the border gates were to swing open wide....and bring forth a tidal flood of these poor "immigrants", granted immediate US citizenship.



Six months to a year and half later: we all watch in horror as a small nuclear "dirty bomb" is detonated say....in Dallas....millions are vaporized; others die painfully days later.



And we learn that deep within that liberal tidal flood of welcomed immigrants, a terrorist cell slipped in, set up shop and easily carried out a lethal attack that paled New York's 9/11.....



....all because short sighted liberal people like YOU let your Christian compassion disregard pure common sense and blind YOU to the ever real and clear danger existant in our society and country.



Am I compassionate? Yes I am--but I have the common sense to know where to draw the line: and Mexican citizens can't just tread on US soil UNTIL THEY PASS LEGAL CRITERIA FOR US CITIZENSHIP.....and for damn good reasons!!!

Whatever happened to justice? It seems it's a principle some americans want to ignore.



You can't have compassion and Justice at the same time. That is why we have laws. We allow immigrants into the country, several thousand every year. However we cannot just allow them to come and go as they please, thats stupidity.

Sure illegal are people too but why should I show passion to illegal when they don't for us. They come and take away our children jobs. It this compassion? I don't think so. I personally do show passion to all that are here illegally. I do show respect for any and all the respect me. Illegal don't show any respect in other so they don't get mine.

You shall not oppress an alien; you well know how it feels to be an alien, since you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt. Ex 23:9



With love in Christ.

Compassion starts with our own citizens not the illegal ones. We can no longer afford this compassion you are talking about. What about the ones who have been waiting in line for years?



Other than that I respect your faith.

Compassion stopped when the party of the "Have and Have Mores" took control of both houses and the White House.

I'm catholic too. But I think God would like his people to do the right things.

I agree we should be compassionate, but when they get free education and health care it is hurting the taxpayers of the US. I am for the guest workers visa so they can pay taxes and pay their fair share, which I am sure for a chance to be legal they will go for.

Life's got so complex - people aren't thinking of their neighbors, but merely themselves. There must be compassion at some level, in everyone, otherwise what puts us apart from mere animals?

i agree. people should all be treated equally, no matter what the color of their skin is or what nationality they are. people shouldnt judge someone else if that person doesnt have a piece of paper with a pretty little stamp on it. it's not fair and totally wrong.

Everybody who breaks the law have mothers and fathers and children. Perhaps changing the law would be a wiser attack on this problem????

The illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America.



http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm



Then the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.



The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.



Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.



My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.



They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.



I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.



"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.





Cultural imperialism







We experience Mexico’s assault on our country incrementally—as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our “immigration problem.” Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and events—all of them framed by the media’s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigration’s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of “immigrant rights”—we don’t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.



Another reason we miss what’s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as “good dads,” “hard working folks” seeking to better their lives and their family’s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nation’s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.







Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.



What are these desires?



(1) Political revanchism—to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;



(2) Cultural imperialism—to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially



(3) Economic parasitism—to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.
