Oh really, well, tell that to my forebearers who were sharecroppers in the South at the turn of the 20th century. They picked cotton like everyone else. They were poor, tired, hungry, and AMERICAN CITIZENS.

I am so sick of these bleeding heart liberals who are destroying our country and our way of life with their defense of CRIMINALS. Do you not understand the word 'illegal?' That means, it's against the law.

My stepfather worked honestly, obeyed the law, and paid taxes for nearly 40 years. Yet, you'd rather defend CRIMINALS. According to you, they are the only ones entitled to health care when they are sick.

You know what, I'm finished with this discussion. I wish we could deport these liberals along with all the illegals. Let them go live in Mexico since they "hate America first."

Bleeding heart liberals, huh?
I don't think so. Companies benefit from this cheap labor and make $$$$$$$$ of them. Go to the eastern shore of MD and look at the illegals there, who is benefiting, it's companies like Perdue etc. What is the Bush administration doing to keep illegals out? Nothing - except paying lip-service.

What about all the AMERICAN CITIZENS that would love to be building roads and highways, picking fruits and vegetables, working in kitchens, watching kids, picking up trash, and landscaping (anyone's) mansion but can't find jobs because the illegals are doing them for lower, tax free wages. I don't want to hear the "these are the jobs Americans won't do b.s." Why don't we let the American people decide for themselves what jobs they want and don't want because when the illegals are doing them, the Americans don't get the choice.

But see, that's it...the "lower tax free wages", those that are the employers would rather have illegals doing it cheap and tax free, than paying legals a decent wage.

Oh here we go with the same endless excuse. Who will cut the grass, who will pick the crops. Give me a break.

Give good reasons why they should be here or should be entitled to suck off the taxpayers of this country.

There is no reasons!!!!!!!

Hypothetically speaking, if the illegals already here in the US were to be made "legal" through some form of legislation, would that not defeat the purpose of their presence in the US now? If I were an illegal demanding my rights - guess what? The first thing I'd do if I were "made legal" is start demanding and earning legal wages. Then who will 'pick the tomatoes and mow the lawns' for dirt wages?

And that is exactly the problem. Both the liberals AND the conservatives have their agenda's for wanting illegals here, and we the American people pay the price.

I have said it before. It's the companies and Corporations that benefit. I am all for letting only legal immigrants in, but it won't happen.

Excuse me, what rights would that be? This is disgusting.

Last year in Dallas, there was a huge illegal rally on (you guessed it, MayDay, i.e. the day of the communists.) They held not American flags, but Mexican flags. Yes, they marched the streets of downtown Dallas with their Mexican flags held high. I'm sorry. No, actually, you know what, I'm not sorry. This is not Mexico, this is America. You don't march our streets under the banner of a failed nation. If you want to be American citizens, march under the American flag. How dare you DEMAND your "rights" while marching under the flag of a foriegn country!

I don't know about other parts of the country, but here, in Texas, these people are taking over. Many parts of Dallas resemble the Third World nowadays. They not only drive illegally, but many of them drive drunk and have killed many people here. It's in the news everyday. We can't deport them. We send them to prison, sure. Another taxpayer expense. House and feed them in prison for their cirmes first, then deport them. I'm sick of it, and so are many others. People in the bleeding heart sections of the country may not understand this.

Would you please try to comprehend, ladies and gentlemen, that your country is indeed under attack, not necessarily from Islamic fundamentalist (though I admit that is a threat), but from south of the border. California and Texas are both already pluralistic states. They're coming for you next. They're coming.
