should illigal immigrants come to this country free

[investyourtimehere]

Illegal immigrants should be deported.

When I was younger I would say no.

But truly, with the exception of Native Americans, we are all immigrants.

And many immigrants come here due to persecution or poverty.  They just want a decent life.

However I do believe they (immigrants) should be expected to learn English within a set amount of time.

I have no problem with them coming here and don't think it needs to be for free either. I think the monies they pay for the testing, etc should be put back into paying for the education, healthcare, etc of immigrants instead of relying on monies that were set aside lawful people living here already. I also feel they should learn English because in the end it's just smarter to learn English. In every country in the world kids are taught English because that's what is used mainly while doing business.

NO!

Illegals are used by businesses!! They are here illegally so they are afraid to report problems with landlords, employers or anyone else that can become rich on their backs. Here are just a few of the things that can and do happen to people who cross our border illegally.
1. from the south the coyote charges a large amount to "help them" and can blackmail them for years after they get here
2. employers can pay them less that minimum wage, work them with no overtime breaks and give them no benefits. If they are lucky they do get paid.
3. Landlords can charge what they want, make not repairs, allow overcrowding and substandard housing
4. Coyotes promise women that their children will be americans but to protect their children they are forced into prositution.
5. The drug cartels threaten illegals here with the lives of families left behind unless the illegal helps the cartel by selling drugs.
6. Just because illegals come thru the southern border does not mean their country of origin is south of us. Illegals that have been stopped on our    southern border come from over 30 countries.

We have a terrorisim problem and if you don't think they are crossing our southern border think again.

If there's an issue of asylum or etc present, then yes. if not, follow the proper channels

[bigfoot951]

Absolutely not.  If Obama was trying to ruin are country he couldn't be doing a better job.

I believe that illegal immigrants should be allowed to come to our country with the understanding that there will be some tests, and other conditions that are fair to the recipients. If we know our history, this country was already settled in various parts before Columbus and his boys stumbled into this country. So we all are illegal immigrants either by omission or commission.

they  should have the same rules as us

       People are under the illusion that deporting illegals and shutting down borders makes us safer.  Do you really think that someone has to come to this country to hurt us?  Do you really think that there are not already people, some american citizens, who could cause damage if they wanted to?  The war on terrorism is a farce and nothing more than those in power (corporations) gleaming profits from war spending.

        As far as illegal immigrants taking american jobs...gimme a break.  Our jobs are going overseas and so are some of our educated people.   The jobs left in America are Walmart greeters and waitresses.

no. i think there should be some kind of process... oh wait there is. i understand its really bad in mexico, but its getting bad here too. i was poor, in a tent and pregnant, ech day i went to the food bank, dshs, or the multi service center it was full of mexicans who couldnt speak english. people get turned down for the help they need because it seems like mexicans and russians and koreans over took the public service system and its not fair to honest working people who fall on hard times. luckily i got myself out of my situation, but i just think they need to be regulated better. i understand that native americans were taken over by the white man, the "all powerful*" white man, who is not the minority. it just pisses me off.


*im not serious
