BTW, is this a personal issue for you?
Parasites? Wow, strong words to call a group of people who work hard to provide a better future for their families. Nice to know you think of human beings as parasites.

Maybe that child of an illegal will be that doctor who will save your life oneday...you never know.

To answer your other question, no it is not personal. I was born and raised in New York City. So were my parents. My Grand parents came from Puerto Rico to the US in the late 1940s, and they came as US citizens. As you know (or may not), Puerto Ricans are US citzens by birth.

So, no, it's not personal. Is it personal for you?

They give birth on our soil and therefore anchor "themselves" on to our country by doing so.

If the parents are deported you think they should leave their children behind? I don't think so. What kind of family values would that be? Mexico for one thing offers dual citizenship. A U.S. born child of illegal parents should be with their parents in their homeland. If they so choose when they are 18 years old they can return here.

According to the 14th Amendment children of illegal aliens born on our soil are just as American as anyone else but I do think that the birthright amendment clause needs to be re-interpreted. It isn't what what intended when it was written. Most countries require that a child born on their soil has to have at least one citizen parent in order for the child to instantly qualify. I think this is the sane approach especially since the 14th is being mis-interpreted and abused.
You say we are forced to support anchor kids. How so? Also, you can argue that our laws were "intended" for a whole bunch of other things. I love the quote of "All men are created equal..." yet salvery was legal.

Yes, illegals who come here to play the system through their children are indeed parasites. I don’t consider all illegal aliens to be parasites, just the ones who are here to suck at the taxpayers’ teat; and there are many. Yes, it is very personal for me, because these people are using this country to the max.

Don't play dumb. You know very well that the illegals and their supporters have decided they don't like our immigration laws because it doesn't agree with their views so therefore they snub their noses at them.

Really...and those that pay into US tax coffers and never receive any benefit? Who is enjoying all that money? You act like they come and collect welfare and watch novelas...or do they go out and bust their backs working?

Now, we all know illegal immigration is not acceptable, but no need to get nasty and stoop low.
For you to be that angry where you call people parasites, it IS very personal for you it seems. And you are probably consumed by it too. Sorry about that.

Really..playing dumb. Now we are getting personal? Doesn't suprise me from reading your posts. You sound like a very bitter and angry person.

So where is the poll data which you refer to? What data do you have that you suggest that the vast majority of Latinos suppport illegal immigration. Where is the data (polls, interviews) showing this majority opinion. You make statements out of opinion or facts? If you have facts...back it up with links to the data.

And the above illegal alien losers are dragging down wages for many blue collar Americans------------especially US citizens 'of color' on a per capita basis.

Many illegal aliens collect welfare for their U.S. born kids along with us educating them and providing healthcare for them. If they weren't here and weren't giving birth on our soil our tax dollars would not be supporting them. I am not just "saying" that the 14th amendment wasn't intended to include children born of illegal aliens the amendment itself states that. Our PC Supreme Court has misinterpreted it for a long time.

People who lie around having babies and expect taxpayers to support them are parasites, and I don’t care where they are from, including the United States. NO illegal alien is eligible to work in this country. Those who do, either work under the table, or use a stolen or fake SSN. Have you considered the millions of citizens whose lives are ruined because illegals are using their ID? Or, do you have no concern for them?

No, I am not consumed. I am a concerned citizen who is fed up with this mess.

Millions? And yes, all those fake SSNs that the US teasury collects taxes on. Why do you think they invented the ITIN? To keep collecting. Let's not play the victims here.
