I'm asking AGAIN: NO other "Hispanic" country's not good enough for your kind, Lopez?
A criminal act does not make one a criminal.
America is a shining example of what other countries should strive for but we cannot accept everyone who wants to come here.
Shut off 99% of all immigration and take care of Americans.

How about making them all pay $10K to stay here and require them to pass a English class and make it fair. If people from the Caribbean have to learn the language and culture here, people south of the border shouldn't be exempt.

If you come into any country, without any legal papers I,e no permissions, do you want to be rewarded with a green card and some state benefits?


If you break the law, how would you want the law to react?


Legal immigration is what should be encouraged. The law must be respected. You can't come to a country and the first thing you do is to spit on their laws.

People who cross the border for American benefits are TAKERS.
Crossing the border illegal makes them ILLEGAL TAKERS.
THIEVES.
Burglars.
Invaders.
Parasites.

And please if you come to the USA legally, don't expect that everyone should learn your language and traditions and hopefully your traditions do not impede on the American values.

I disagree. They need to go back home. Americans need their jobs back. By legalizing them it would negate our annual quotas for legal immigration for the next 10 years.

No, because they've cost us more than $10k to be here.

They are called Illegal Aliens because it is ILLEGAL the way they entered our country and expect to stay here and get all the free handouts. They choose to ignore that fact.

All they want is to cross the border and have us roll out the red carpet. If we refuse, then we're considered racists. Too bad, so sorry, so sad.

There are a multitude of foreigners trying to enter our country legally and they've waited for years.

We need to follow the immigration laws that Canada has enacted.

FREE HANDOUTS like those that TRUMP got from all of us for all the years that he faked businesses, didn't pay his creditors, etc.

I don't condone illegal aliens at all, but it's far worse to me to conduct business the way TRUMP has. Our scumbag-in-chief doesn't deserve any "honeymoon" period.

Which laws has Trump broken that he has been convicted of? Seems to me his convictions would have prevented him from being elected President. If you don't like people taking advantage of the laws, elect people who will change the laws.

The scumbag in chief is the one who paraded illegals on the stage. He is the one who has doubled our debt. He is the one that has caused everyones Health Insurance to skyrocket.
Trump may turn out to be scum bag in chief, but that has yet to be seen.
