Do you acually understand what this is all about?

Let me ask you this...........have you lived in a community the was run down and taken over by Illegal Immigrants?
>....I have.

Have you had your ID stolen by Illegal Immigrants?
>..I have....and it took years and $ to staighten things back out.

Have you lost a job because of Illegal Immigrants would work for less?

Have you been in and auto accident with and unlicensed/uninsured Illegal Immigrant?
> My son died in my arms because of a Hit-n-Run caused by an Illegal Immigrant


I do have to agree with you in one part.........
It depends on what side of the fence your looking at.
I lived in Arlandria in Alexandria, VA near D.C. It was one of the few places I could afford. I only lived there for one year, but it was mostly illegal immigrants and they acted like I was a hooker. I was a woman who lived alone, independent and unmarried. Everyday, and I mean everyday, I was accosted by El Salvadorian men staring or grabbing at me. It drove me crazy. They would also constantly hang out in the parking lot sitting on their cars and drinking and eventually getting arrested. They had ten people in the apartment across from me and were very loud. I am a D.C. native and never minded all the different cultures, but after living there for years and seeing how bad the illegal immigration problem is getting, I have been very anti illegal immigrant. It also irritates me that they have so many children and receive social services and section 8 housing that some citizens cannot get. The problem is definitely getting worse. I moved to FL about a year ago and its bad here also, but nothing like the DC/Northern Virginia area.

I do not feel sorry for these people. They get food stamps, section 8 housing and they work. If they cannot feed their families, stop having so many kids! I do not care if you are CAtholic or not!

I left Socal after 35years because of the over crowding of Illegal Immigrant. And I moved to OK, because of the new Immigration Law HB 1804

Sassyone has not experienced any of this, so Illegal Immigration doesn't affect her at the least. So because we are for enforcing our laws and serve what ever comes with those laws,to those who rightfully deserve it, we are nothing but hate groups and racist.

Her additude would be completely reversed if Illegal Immigration had some kind of affect on her.
She doesn't know it yet, but that day is coming.

I have worked with Russian and Spanish immigrant customers. And it is annoying when they make the effort to come here for our benefits but have little or no desire to learn our language. In my opinion, to be able to stay here, from no matter what country they are from, they should have 5 years to learn our language (passably) or go home. Das vi danya.

It is somewhat strange because I live in Arizona and in a border town.
Now I did say hate, but I don't think I said racist. The hate here is so strong you could cut it with a knife. Like you said, I have not had any
bad experiences with them at all, maybe they can tell that I don't hate or look down on them.
