But look at how much it comes up with others here...

People can't even be clear enough with terminology, and say "Mexican" rather than being focused on illegal immigration...

You keep saying your people are here LEGALLY so I DON'T see how illegal aliens and amnesty are a worry to you.

YOu asked about "Mexicans"...

Certainly YOu've seen others commenting about Mexicans here too...

Quite a bit of the time there will be more identifiers about Mexicans than illegal aliens...

MOST illegal aliens ARE Mexican with most of the others still from LatAm. Take them away and that's 9 out of 10 illegal aliens gone from the US.

This isn't a process of just being intellectually lazy with claims...

So what would be YOur view of money legally earned (and taxed) in the United States?...
What would be your view of employment gained by ID theft or social services obtained by fraud ???

Not to mention millions wasted on legal costs and medical care obtained by criminals that shouldn't be here in the first place ????

Not to mention taxes uncollected when illegals are employed under the table ?

All that money would go into the US economy, instead of Mexico.

As long as she isn't collecting welfare, food stamps, etc. If you can afford to support her or she could support herself, I would throw the door wide open for her. That's what USA is all about!
What if that person tried to get in friends and family that had no means of support or were undesireables/criminals that could not immigrate legally
would you still support that?

This is what happened after the last Amnesty and why we're at the point we are at now.

There is a large segment of the immigrant community that would and has disregarded the laws and have aided and abbetted further Illegal immigration, not to mention supported and encouraged it.

Absolutely not. That's totally different to me. I also think E-Verify should be a federal program with very stiff penalties for employers.

Well, you refuse to identify with the word ILLEGAL. Illegal Peruvian, Illegal Canadian, illegal alien. You know, those that snuck in or overstayed documents. You do realize if we didn't have all those ILLEGALS here you wouldn't get stopped at your beloved check points. Especially the ones near the Southern border where most ILLEGALS are Illegals from Mexico. If the shortened term Illegal Mexican or Illegal Canadian bothers you I'm afraid I offer up no apology. Something tells me you have a lot of skin in this game and it ain't the legal kind. Otherwise, why isn't your beef with all the Illegal Mexicans and Guatemalans instead of Americans, legal residents and our laws?

Care to elaborate on YOur hunches of any illegal behavior on my part, or has this forum degenerated to a point where someone can make baseless allegations? Really, the laziness that many people have here to not be bothered to write out "illegal alien" has run full-course. Doing that, it covers all of YOur bases, so YOu don't have to write all of those nationalities.

YOu're a big boy, YOu can do it...

Illegal Alien is a catch all since there are so many Countries involved. That it bothers some to such an extent is amusing.

Anyway, back to Mexico being upset about how we handle our Illegal Aliens. It is one handed. Mexico needs America's dollars but we sure don't need their Illegal Mexicans We already cater to Mexico. Their people aren't special as to our immigration needs. We need educated immigrants that can support themselves and give back to our community. We don't need immigrants coming across and heading straight for the ER. Case in point

Unlimited immigration, legal or illegal would require us to completely restructure our social service network. No thanks.
