Is the illegal immigration invasion getting worse or better in your hometown in state? Please state where you from with your answer.

Lets find out the elected officials who are ignoring the will of the people and let our voices be heard that we all have had enough of illegal immigration destroying this country.

We should start a petition or an organization and get united on this issue and help get our country back.

If we all unite then we can win this issue. Lets start a website and start contacting our leaders.

Note: I am not interested in any sort of hate group. No racism or bigotry please. Let's stay professional.

The illegal alien invasion is worsening here in Virginia. I'm interested. I live in Alexandria but was raised in Hampton.

I live in Queens and will soon be moving to Houston. It is insane here. I get on the subway to go to work in the morning and I am practically drowning in illegals and their anchor babies. None of these kids speak english and a lot of them have a little Mexican or another Central American nation's flag on their backpacks. All on my tax dollars. Unbelievable.

There are myriad anti-illegal immigration organizations across the country that do not espouse racism or hatred. They are at the forefront of this debate, and are instrumental in the defeat of amnesty-laden legislation. I’m not sure if posting links would violate the TOS of this site -– so I won’t. Just Google “anti illegal immigration organizations.”

I don't think the illegal immigration invasion is getting any better anyplace. Some places their are not to many to none, But it's not because they went back to Mexico we just have not been invaded yet.

The BIG OC!!!!! Problem has been here for years. Our politicians are not ignoring the problem compared to politicians from around the country. OC has some of the best representation in senate and assembly to combat the problem.

I live just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah and everytime I go to Salt Lake it makes me sad how awful the neighborhoods look, the houses are run down, no grass, lots of cars. It didn't use to look so bad. It is getting worse here in Bountiful too. I cannot go anywhere without hearing LOUD conversations in Spanish and my husband being asked to interpret at almost every visit to K-Mart or Wal-Mart. It seems to me our Governer doesn't give a crap he has his sights on trying to green us all up here.
BTW, jpimus I was just thinking the other day how everything gets said over and over on here some may say it better and longer but we just keep saying the same things over and over. It is nice to see someone taking some action and REALLY wanting to do something. Thank you!

I always find this topic interesting and here's why:

How in the .... do you know who is in the US legally and who's not?

Do you know that there are canadian and british illegal immigrants?

In the same way,
I speak spanish to my kids everysingle day of the year and I'm an american citizen.
Does speaking spanish make me an illegal immigrant?

If you get pulled over by a cop, can you prove that you are an american citizen?

OF COURSE speaking Spanish doesn't "make [you] an illegal immigrant". It's not about hating Latinos/Latinas or any other Spanish speakers. It's about protecting our country from the inevitable damage that a flood of illegals--and they could be illegal Chinese, illegal Greek, illegal SWEDISH--is causing.

Ahh the template for the illegal rant/borderline racist post:


1) First the content:

2) Then "no race/bigotry" disclaimer:

3) Finally, the reality of your post and its underlying discrimination of the group you so disclaimed against:
