Whatever it takes to rid our country of illegal aliens will ultimately benefit ALL legal citizens. Sometimes, no pain, no gain.
But who's feeling the pain? Do the people going through the pain feel that way?
I think it's selfish, like Jdubsmom comment about being willing to go through a depression if it gets rid of "illegal immigrants"(who knows what she really meant by that).
Of course you'd be willing to go through it, if you didn't think it would affect you as much as poorer people.
What kind of person would rather have Americans starving and in dire poverty(while they are living comfortably themselves) as long as it meant they didn't have to deal with the nuisance of knowing about illegal immigrants.
I think America with illegal immigrants is better than America in a bad depression.
Like the article says, a year ago, there wasn't any Americans in those ranks, scraping at the bottom with day laborers. Now there is. And you guys give it a thumbs up?

One would have to be evil and sadistic to relish the thought of anyone suffering. I certainly hope our economy will not result in starvation, or anything remotely as severe. However, our economy only underscores our inability to support millions of non-citizens. We must make our own citizens our first priority.
If I have a thousand dollars in my pocket I can afford to give 100 dollars to someone in need. However, if I only have 20 dollars, I really can’t afford to give anything. It’s not that I don’t have the desire; I simply don’t have the means. Our country no longer has the means. If that sounds harsh, I’m sorry. It’s a fact.

As Americans we have not only always taken care of our own, we have wasted hundreds of billions of dollars over the decades in foreign aid to governments who don't care about their own people and their people who don't care enough about themselves to stand up and demand what they entitled to from their respective governments and countries.
Just as we the American people rise up against injustice in our country, it is not mean or spiteful to expect the same of foreign nationals who give us nothing but unjustly expect us to roll out the red carpet for their impoverished masses. As long as we provide a safety net, they will continually allow their governments to remain corrupt, and unresponsive to the well being of its nationals.
Until the majority, who are representative of the impoverished masses grow a pair and rise up against the hand full of oligarchies who control all of the wealth in the country they profess to love so dearly, as far as I am concerned they don't deserve to be treated any better than they allow themselves to be treated by their own people.
Nobody dragged them here against their will. We owe them nothing, not even a bus ticket home.

Agreed. One would have to look far and wide to find a country with more benevolent citizens. Whenever anyone is in need -- either in our country, or outside, we are eager to assist. It disturbs me that so many pro-illegals try to paint such an ugly picture of this country, simply because we want our laws enforced.
We have been more than generous to the millions of illegal aliens who feel nothing but contempt for this country. They repeatedly exhibit their disrespect by brazenly and arrogantly ignoring our laws. They march in our streets waving foreign flags and desecrate our flag, while holding out their hands to the U.S. taxpayers. I’m tired of it.
Our economy is tanking, and having millions of illegal aliens seeking jobs, only exacerbates the problem. This year alone, 1.9 million U.S. citizens lost jobs, and the year hasn’t ended yet. Who knows how many will lose jobs during the month of December. It’s not selfish to feed your own children before you feed others. Nor is it mean-spirited to refuse to take food out of your child’s mouth to give to a stranger. It’s time for them to go.

Hell, I just may go check out a farm job this spring, operating combines or other harvesting equipment.
