I "earned" the right to my opinion by being a tax-paying CITIZEN. You don't have to agree with my opinion, but there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Freedom of speech!

Something illegals know nothing about, concept of being a

TAX-PAYING CITIZEN. Not a lawbreaker!
Ok to break our laws, but not do things legally. Right! great concept, whoever came up with this great idea?

The illegals have more power than legal Americans. The legal Americans have to get in the back of the line. Globalism is taking away every right of Americans. It has cheapened your birthright which now includes millions of anchor babies that will be born so the line will get longer and you will never get to the front of the line.. kiss your birthright good bye.
Thank you for saying the truth, so many would like to deny. But i know so many people who honestly do feel the same exact way that you do.
People from all walks of life, so many without a silver spoon in their mouth, Obama's stupid line.
I feel this is such a slap in the face, to all past generations of each of our ancestors, that believed in the dream, of coming to this Country all the consequences and the negativity. But by all means doing it the right way.
And they did. Some as my ancestors went thru hell and high water to become citizens. But they did it legally and had pride.
Who would of thought, we would pave the way, to make it so easy to enter illegally. Who would of ever thought we would have a government, that does not give a hoot about illegals breaking the law to get here.! This President doesn't seem to give a sh-- about this problem, yeah yeah, he can play the games, but actions speak louder then his words.
He kisses and panders and whispers sweet nothing, the stupid ones are the ones buying what he is selling.

Yes It is as much of a legal reason as it is for the cops in all states to set up road check points to look for people who may be doing something against the law! Its that simple , we send men and women oversea's to defend our country, so why isn't it ok to use every tool they have to stop the criminal activites here in the US? . Or just take the fences down and let everyone in here that want's to come. let all the cops go , we don't need them , they don't want to enforce the laws they are charged to enforce , only the one's that will bring in the most profit. If your not here legally then go home and start the process the right way.

No, he isn't. In what way do illegal immigrants have more rights than Americans?

The sobriety checkpoints have to be set up within certain guidelines including neutral formula to determine which vehicles are stopped. That is completely different than swooping in on a job fair and looking for people with brown skin to demand proof they are citizens.

This is a false dichotomy, there is lots of area between citizenship checks targeting foreign looking people at job fairs and a complete open immigration policy.

Agreed. However that doesn't mean I should need to be prepared to prove my citizenship if I'm not committing a crime.

The truth hurts? Your birthright and everyone's is worthless today. Thank globalism and the democratic party for putting the LEGAL Americans at the back of the line.

And our ancestors didn't rape the country for free benefits . They worked hard and made the country great. Now today every legal citizen will pay the price for the waste and big government handouts to anyone who is not an American citizen. All those freebees will keep bringing in more illegals here.

We Americans know what it is to tow the line to the word legal... we are not allowed to break laws or we will be fined, put in jail or make to jump though hoops to get a new drivers license or prove who we are.. we the Americans have to make sure we do everything legally. We know what the word illegal means. If we dare cross that line we will pay. Not so for the ones who come here and break laws and our democratic president looks the other way or sues the states for going after the illegals.

Immigration status is NOT a private matter when one is illegal, and illegally employed, illegally collecting welfare, illegally clogging up ER's, illegally enrolled in schools, illegally in the US, and racking the bills up for the LEGAL citizens.

What "racism"? Illegal immigrants are now their own "race"?

Maybe you should do the great LEGAL citizens of the USA a favor and take all your illegal friends to Saudi Arabia. See how that works out and for how long.

You do realize this post doesn't back up anything you said, other than repeating the same asinine hyperbole claim. Have you been a silly drama queen your entire life?




Let's try again: exactly how do illegal immigrants have more rights than I do as an American citizen?

See Taratova post below...this is but one of many examples.

We Americans know what it is to tow the line to the word legal... we are not allowed to break laws or we will be fined, put in jail or make to jump though hoops to get a new drivers license or prove who we are.. we the Americans have to make sure we do everything legally. We know what the word illegal means. If we dare cross that line we will pay. Not so for the ones who come here and break laws and our democratic president looks the other way or sues the states for going after the illegals.
Hispanics whether they are legal or not also get away with behavior in the workplace that their white counterparts cannot. I know this firsthand from my last job. Mexican co-workers were allowed to chit chat in spanish at the same time that myself and a white co-worker were told there was no time for personal talk when "there was work to be done". They are also given greater lee-way in customer service times while we were told we had to get our times up. And countless other examples.

I suspect others could come forward with their own stories of reverse discrimination in the workplace.
