I hate to say it because I LOVE THE U.S.A. too, but we have people in this country going without medical care, in fact a LOT with either none or limited health care and not enough money to pay without going without other necessities, like food. We aren't taking care of our own either. We are far too busy giving free medical care and monthly checks to those invading our country. We as a country have always been very big on taking care of other countries poor and starving while we watch our countrymen die. I'd like to see some of the big companies currently handing out money to lobbyists to make sure they can hold onto their cheap labor force, turn over some of those big profits to the once middle class, now lower class they have created with their greed.

You are so correct. The problem being also is that it is not so slow anymore.

Excuse me Nea1 but the title of this forum is "Immigration" not "Illegal Immigration".

It is posts like this from BetuliaJ, that really make this whole thing a shame.

Whenever Americans generalize and blame a race, religion or ethnicity there will always be so many good immigrants you offend, if I were a legal Mexican-American reading this forum I would be very offended just like BetuliaJ here.

Be careful lumping all people together...Americans have done it to black, asains, islamics...and now mexicans. It is pretty shameful and provokes the question "will we ever evolve?".

I'm proud to be an American and I'm also proud to be Hispanic, but I don't like to be lumped in with those who come here hating this country and looking for a scam or to take advantage of all the wonderful services and aid that are available for those who really need them. ( We never did, by the way). My parents are the most honest, hardworking, decent,law abiding people I know. And we grew up with those values. I'm proud of my Mexican heritage and I speak fluent Spanish. My children know about their Mexican/Colombian (I'm married to a Colombian/American) culture as well but we are 100% American. And this is our home. I say this because with all these Immigration issues (problems) we all get put in the same group, and we are not all the same. And by the way I've never had a chip on my shoulder about being Hispanic nor did I ever feel discriminated against REALLY! or maybe I just didn't notice it. (I grew up in So. California)....Oh wait there was this time on a Halloween night in Laguna Niguel (OC) where my brother lives. A man lied about running out of candy only when my children when up to his door. I forgot about that idiot. ANYWAY... I now live in North Florida, near Jacksonville, and there is a lot more prejudice here but I still choose not to notice it too much. Because like I said this is our home as well and we have every right to be here. One of my brothers has fought for our country, we contribute with our time our talents , our hard work our ideas..... and our heart to this great nation.

You lump everyone together. So, why is it ok for you but not for others? You call anyone who happens to be against illegal immigration racist and that is lumping people together with the true racist, who happen to be part of the La Raza team and all.

Was I talking to you directly?

I call anyone who just talks about illegal Mexicans a racist candidate, especially the ones who come here complaining about how many kids they have and how they park close to your car, with their flag flying, overly attacking the latin culture like many threads here have done.

So let's talk about others besides just Mexicans illegals for once...heh? I posted a link that shows other non-Latino illegals and it gets no press. What gives?

Yes, lumping people together is always shameful.....but a very easy mistake to make. Sounds to me like you're doing quite a bit of "lumping" yourself---I'm an American, and you seem to be "lumping" me in with a whole lot of people I disagree with......

This has been addressed before a few times and maybe you will read it this time. You will not see groups of any other illegal culture in our streets demanding rights they are not entitled to, burning our flag, saying our country belongs to them, calling us names and fying the flag of a foreign country. IT IS ONLY MEXICANS AND YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THE FLAG THEY RAISE.

WHY?

Simple question...and it shouldn't be very hard to answer since you are so sure of yourself.

You really need to read the links in these threads. The top 10 threads have a number of links in them.
If you cannot find any I am sure that anyone would be glad to post some links for you to websites that show the criminal activity and heartache that is being caused by illegal mexicans. They and their President have waged a war aginst the USA and All Americans and must be stopped.

Here is one for you:
An ex-felon and illegal immigrant deported five times will make a final exit if County Attorney Andrew Thomas gets his way.
County Attorney Wants Death Penalty for Illegal Immigrant

Another:
Police break up $31 million Hazleton cocaine ring

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM - Associated Press Writer

ALLENTOWN, Pa. --
A northeastern Pennsylvania cocaine ring that allegedly rang up sales of more than $31 million over three years was broken up Thursday as law enforcement officials announced charges against 40 suspects.
State Attorney General Tom Corbett said that some of the suspects are believed to be illegal immigrants -
Police break up $31 million Hazleton cocaine ring (broken link)

If you would like more heinous ones they are there.
Thanks
