why are people making only a few dollars a day having children? this country is not an international welfare check!

Vivski and Jobezee,

Don't worry about the naysayers calling you racist. That's a tactic they use when they have no argument to stand on.

illegals do not pay taxes...unless they are paying them on a false security number...which, i may remind you, is social security fraud....another law that illegals are breaking...until you or someone who you love is maimed, injured or killed by these criminals, you will never understand the cost of this crime.
my ancestors immigrated from england in 1639, and i am proud to be an american, i do not oppose immigration, i oppose the invasion of my country by a multitude of people who do not respect this country enough to first follow the law, and do it legally...people who refuse to respect our flag, people who demand rights that they do not deserve by being here illegally call me a racist, and i will tell you, you are ignorant...let them move into your house, and we'll let you support them with your hard earned money, and pay for their medical aid,something that most americans cannot afford.

But when you undercut our wages, it is like the past with unions, when scabs would go in and work for a lower wage to have a job, and undercut wages. You'll work for no benefits, too. MY ancestors worked to get a HIGH standard of living here. Now, illegals are breaking that down. I thought this country learned something about slavery from the past.

And, you'll get no sympathy from ME, because my ancestors came here, and there were NO social services, no one spoke their language, and my dad was a little boy who had to go to school and learn English on his own, and he did. My grandfather worked in the mines, and then later had the money to send for his family. All done legally. No free healthcare. No free food. No freebies. Just hard work.

Agreed. I live around these people. I can't get a decent nights rest because they all drink after hours and raise all kinds of hell at night. I've had many of them arrested for public intoxication only to find them back here the next day.

Because the government wants them here. If the government didn't want them here, they would be gone. Too bad we can't all stop working and live off the land. A few months of no taxes would slow the government right down.

You know the same people on here who are supportive of the illegals probably are the same ones who can afford for now to still be separated from this issue. The same ones who vacation in the Mexican resorts and think "wow what a pretty country" when theyve only seen 2 square miles of it. They can afford health insurance, live in an upscale area, and live on cloud nine while the nation goes takes the fast train to extinction. Dont worry, if it hasnt affected you yet it will come.

But hey its been a great 200 and some odd years as America.
