You are talking about millions of people who are not supposed to be here, who have neither education nor job skills coupled with a real attitude problem. In all the time I have been on this forum, I have yet to see one pro-illegal present good reasons as to why we should allow them to stay. Whining that they have been here a long time, they only want a better life, we stole their land, you would do the same thing, etc. does not constitute giving good reasons. The illegals knew damn right well that what they were doing was illegal when they sneaked across the border or chose to overstay their visa. When you stick it to the US like that, eventually the time comes when you have to pay the piper, except that now they expect us to move the goalposts in order to accommodate them. They think that if they jump up and down, screaming and throwing a temper tantrum for long enough we will give in and grant them citizenship (don't waste your time telling me about the 'fine' they will pay). They are here for what they can get, irrespective of the fact that it is always at somebody else's expense. American schoolchildren suffer when funds that should have been used for their education are diverted to pay for ESL for illegals. Homeowners suffer when their property taxes are increased to pay for it. A community suffers when the local ER closes and the nearest one is now 10 miles away. A neighborhood suffers when clown houses open up. Illegals deserve nothing except a ticket back to their homeland.
Awesome Post!!! I Can't rep you (it won't let me)..

I mentioned Plyler v Doe in another post. Please look into it. It is the interpretation of the law that requires that public school employees ignore the fact that students are here illegally.

I work in a school district that has a HIGH percentage of illegals from Mexico. We are required to look the other way as these kids and their parents take from the system and DO NOT PAY INTO the system. They DO NOT PAY TAXES! They send most of their money back to Mexico. They get a free breakfast and a free lunch and free tutoring and free books and free classrooms and on and on and they do not pay taxes. And I know it sounds cliche, but many of them DON'T speak English. They don't need to. I'M the odd man out because I DO speak English.

In New Mexico, we are required to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. I wish those who are pro-illegal immigration could see some of these kids during the pledge and their hatred for the flag, their disrespect for their host country, and their attitude of entitlement for the blessings they enjoy from a country they feel NO LOYALTY toward.

In NM, we are facing a huge budget crisis. We are looking at cutting teachers' jobs even more than they have been cut. That means EVEN MORE kids in your legal child's classroom. That means even fewer teachers, teachers' aides, and resources, because we are required by law to share with those who are not following the law by being here. I may lose my job this year because the state has gone broke paying for services that it can't afford.

Before anyone jumps on me, I'm not racist, and I don't hate. I just think that those who are trying to follow the law (including LEGAL immigrants) should recieve the benefits before those who knowingly break the law. I know that there are many MANY immigrants, legal and illegal, who love this country and want a better life and are willing to work and sacrifice for it. But until we address the FACT that there are also MANY who are here for the simple purpose of taking advantage of our generosity and lax law enforcement, this problem will continue to grow. Unless you live in one of those communities that is being overrun with illegal immigrants, you just don't know.

Many of my students drive nicer cars than I do, and wear nicer clothes. They work for coyotes or cartels, smuggling other illegal immigrants, drugs, weapons, alcohol, etc. across the border. They do not see a need to do well in school because they make a very good living, and they simply do not see anything wrong with what they do. When children are raised with the assumption that the law is meant to be broken, what do you expect?

I am considering relocating to another state because of the illegal situation here. When you have this many illegal people in one area, you end up with a lot of below-the-radar crime that goes unreported. Slavery, drugs, weapons, abuse, all of it goes on but among people who officially "don't exist." It's not safe here anymore, but the stats won't reflect it. It's only what we see going on around us, not what is reported or prosecuted.

If anyone truly thinks this doesn't affect them, they are wrong. This is a huge problem, and it is affecting all of us in ways many of us don't even realize yet.

Poor Aamericans who use to have the advantage f clinics when sck, now they are full of illegals, mostly pregnant or TB with sick kids spreading their TB around . We have been in 2 wrecks, both illegals one left the scene after hitting 5 cars at red light . The other one just grinned and walked away after hitting us while we made a turn . No license, no insurence , no problem said cops .

I really find that hard to believe. I'll bet a thousand bucks that you are making that up.

It's funny ths thread. I have been a victim of crime by whites and blacks more than "illegal aliens". Actually, never been a victim of crime from an "illegal". Yesterday I caught this white blonde kid opening up Blu-Rays at Bestbuy and putting them in is pockets. Was a pleasure telling security on him. And a couple of months ago, another white kid, college aged, pretty clean cut, trying to break into my new car. So I am more scared of white thugs in Houston than anyone else based on my experience in Houston. Go figure...

It was back in the early 90's and I was just about to go to my CLEET Training in Law Enforcement. I was working for several cities at the time doing different projects as needed. On night a couple of illegal
aliens made a pass at me as I was fininshing up for the evening and to make a very long story short, they ended up trying to purchase me while I was talking(doing my briefing ) on a pay phone , they, thinking I was a working gal decided not to take no for an answer tried again and so my supervisor ended up making an arrest or at least attempting to, they jumped him, beat him terribly in a Marriott parking lot, took his gun fired it directly at me, shot him, (he lived) stole police dept truck,it was a drug deal we had walked into. The biggest problem is the biggest difference in their belief in value of life and quality,value on, of life for children and woman who are treated like objects. This destroyed a good mans life , career and family not because the department didn't back him, they did and he received a medal of honor, he could never believe in himself again.

And I am sure there are just as many American citizens who have been victims of illegal aliens but never were a victim of a crime committed by a white, black or hispanic citizen either.

in my rational mind i would think... dammmm these johns/drug dealers are ruthless.

i think the fact that they were vioent criminals resonates more than the coincidence that they happen to allegedly be illegal.

but im confused. were they looking for a prostitute or were they in the middle of a drug deal?
i dont know any drug dealers who would bother with some p*ssy while handlng business.

i bit suspect.
