Sure you end up in one of the neighborhoods the country the doesnt care about with a bunch of other minorities, where there is lots of drugs, gangs, and poverty. But the chance for your kid to grow up, get a better education, and find good work and MAYBE move up into the middle class are a lot higher than if you are in the poor class of Mexico.

Would you rather be in the poor class of Mexico or the poor class of the U.S.?

Theyre not moving to the U.S. for a promotion or a 5 percent raise in salary. Theyre moving here because its better being poor here than in the U.S.
In the first place one can't consider themselves "poor" when living in America, not when they have a television, vcrs, cell phones and etc. Nope, they are not really poor at all. We have homeless who need our help and I would prefer we look after them than to look after any illegal.

Whats an illegal immigrant to do if they got people pushing for them to become citizens?
"You want to help us? Sure, ill march on your parade!"


Aside from that, illegals arent doing anything to "annoy" people. Theyre just working.

But certain problems in this county require a scapegoat, so they are being put in the spotlight.
They are not doing anything to annoy people, huh? This is a joke, right? Because I'll tell you something. Crap like this annoys the he11 out of me. And please inform your amigos that the flag of the United States of America is NOT to be worn as an article of clothing.

I cannot imagine that this might annoy an American citizen whose ancestors fought and died for this country.

Somehow, I knew you'd explain it to me. Thanks for 'setting me straight'. As I'm sure you'd agree, "Nobody can annoy me, unless I CHOOSE to let him". Words of wisdom.....

Next time somebody steps on my toe, I'll think of you, and remind myself, "This guy's foot REALLY isn't really on top of MINE...it's more like MY foot is under HIS".....by the same token, the illegals REALLY don't annoy us....and goodness knows, 'we' don't really annoy them, either..everything's just 'Pinche'....or is that 'Peachy'?.....no matter, I guess..
