I've said it before, a lot of this stuff is all an act. They obviously want things to go their way and their fellow Mexicans, Guatamalans, etc's way, so they say what they got to say to convince people. Also, no one cares about how much you love this countnry if you and tens of millions of others are here undocumented, filling up schools, having children and receiving government assistance and taking part-time or full-time jobs from unskilled or young workers. It's just like all the other emotional, sob stories. Sorry, but that can't excuse everything.
How many hope that the massive influx of people coming illegally, having kids that at some point can vote, think that some day they can use the US as a form of bailout for these Countries? With a population shift large enough that could indeed happen. Massive grants simply by having children.

I hope that they have the fore thought to know THEY will be the ones funding those Countries at that point. At hope the children of Illegals love the US more than the Countries their Parents came from.

I have the same question?! Does anyone on here watch television, probably not since I have not heard this brought up. I will, the commercial for ITT Tech where the lady from Barbados? came to this country for a better life, HOW??? We paid for her schooling through the Pell Grants?? Then she brings her boyfriend to help her make kids?!

On the other post I could not find to quote about going to another country to live: on the Discovery channel there is a show called Locked up Abroad. That would fit for most anyone in America---they hate us over there----anywhere over there!!

And they should look into cleaning out Florida of thier illegals.

<<I was meerly commenting that she at least tried to do it right.>>

No, she didn't try to do it right. If she had tried to do it right, she wouldn't have come here as an illegal alien. She would have gone through the legl process, starting in her home country.

just like the other poster that used my question in confusion, the question was in reponse to a posted statement(please re-read).

there is a diffrence in meaning in "what is "illegal immigrants?"

and ...What are illegal immigrants.

BTW I dont defend aliens, I oppose the Anti-immingrant crowd.

What is the Anti-immigrant crowd?
Are they the ones who are against illegals or the ones who are simply against any and all immigration?

1751texan,

If I understand you correctly illegal immigrants are the issue, not immigrants that come here legally following the process set forth to do so.

Is there an angry mob of anti-LEGAL immigration supporters? If so, what is their organization's name so that I may learn about them?

What I DO see are angry Americans opposed to illegal aliens coming in via coyotes, on boats, hidden in trucks, to burden our already cash strapped country.
