The problem I see with illegal immigrants from south of the border is their penchant for left leaning idealogy that they wish to implement here. Because of their culture and politics they've ruined their own countries so they flee north only to look over the political landscape in stupefying fashion and demand that the U.S. implement the same disastrous policies that they fled from in the first place.

If they are United States citizens (inmigrants or not) they can demand whatever they want, or question the government.
If they are illegal aliens they can't demand anything. Basically they can't do sh*t. ;) But isn't that like... obvious?

It's as simple as that.

Apparently you're not familiar with the recent news here in the United States. They're demanding the right to vote as illegal immigrants. They receive scholarships to universities that no U.S. citizen is able to receive BECAUSE they are illegals. Politicians, especially in California, instruct them in how to ILLEGALLY vote in elections. They receive welfare payments while illegal, all funded by ME and every other taxpaying CITIZEN. They import violent criminal gang culture, filling our streets with violent bloodshed. Their leaders openly proclaim that they are 'reoccupying' the western United States. They wield political clout over school systems and thwart efforts by them to require english be taught.

Need I say more? I can keep going.

Sorry no, I'm not up to date with the latest news from up north. ;)
But yes that's BS. And it doesn't happen only in USA, illegal inmigrants are taken advantage of everywhere; specially by the freaking politicians.
And ignorant people tend to do and ask for stupid things.
You wouldn't believe the crap we have to put up with down here too. And in Europe it's the same.
But was that the focus of this thread?

I mean. Are we going to just discuss the problem of the average US citizen despising the mexicans, or are we going to discuss illegal inmigration in general?

The only person in this thread that has mentioned 'despising Mexicans' is you, Diego.

The topic is 'illegal immigration' as the originator of this thread stated in his first posting and with the thread title itself.
--------------------------------------

You're worried about the illegals being 'taken advantage of' ? I'm worried about them taking advantage of U.S. Citizens. When they take to the streets by the tens of thousands waving communist party banners that can only mean one thing; it means their intentions are to violate our inalienable rights by imposing the same sorts of programs upon the nation that soiled their home countries that they fled.

Yes well, I guess I typed it instead of just thinking it. My bad. :p

I know it happens. Don't you?
Do you really believe those poor, undocumented, and for the most part ignorant people (note: ignorant is not an insult) that take the streets and raise party banners, know what they are doing? I bet if you asked, most of them wouldn't know the real reason they are there.
I say they are being used.

Here is a thought for you Diego. If it was 20 MILLION IRISH people coming over the border and demanding things that they have no REASONABLE right to, then it wouldn't be Mexicans at the center of this discussion. The discussion would be the same regardless of the race of people coming across our borders and breaking the law and THEN expecting us to bow down and make things easier for them.

The " average US citizen " as you put it, does not despise Mexicans. What a whole lot of us DO despise is people who break the law and then want, DEMAND, handouts and concessions.

One of the reasons that the average CITIZEN in this country can't afford healt insurance is because very few of the illegals have ANY kind of insurance. So when THEY go to a hospital, the hospital just has to eat the cost of treating them. Unfortunately the hospitals can't turn them away because some genius lawyer would sue them. Think about this, if the millions of illegals can't pay their hospital bills, then SOMEONE has to. Guess who that someone happens to be.

1. They're not 'undocumented'. Undocumented means a clerk missplaced someone's legitimate papers someplace. They're illegals.

Do you really believe those poor, undocumented, and for the most part ignorant people (note: ignorant is not an insult) that take the streets and raise party banners, know what they are doing? I bet if you asked, most of them wouldn't know the real reason they are there.


2. I'm prepared to take their word for it.

3. Paranoid? No, they openly state (the vocal leadership) that they are 'recolonizing America'. Those are not my words, but theirs. When their platforms consist of blatant aims to eliminate property rights and make slaves out of American citizens I'll again, take their word for it.

Yes I understand what you are saying. I don't know why but I think you guys are somehow under the impression that I'm defending illegal inmigration. I'm not.

In fact, if it was up to me I'd be a lot harsher on the illegals. But I'd ALSO act on having better legislation to handle the situation. But not just the present consequences. Problems have to be tackled at the root.

What? No, don't look at me. I have no clue HOW, Not now and with my current state of caffeine overdose, anyway.

I am! Knightmate, why not make that your project for tonight. Go Google up the Mexican immigration laws and post them here. I'm too lazy and am also too impatient for Octagon to come in here and post them. :-)

It's worse than that. You can familiarize yourself with the Communist Party's platform if you wish.

People would move out of the USA, because something that is not forbidden isn't fun. Lol
That's why drugs should be legal. Legal = dull. /wink

Honestly, I don't know the inmigration laws of Mexico, but I'm willing to bet they are a bit more flexible than the US' ? ;)

No worries Diego. I wasn't under the assumption that you were defending it.

Bringing us a point of view from another country with the same kind of problem ( although perhaps not the VOLUME ) is appreciated.

As far as legislating to handle the situation...perhaps you should look up how our government works. I have yet to see the government in this country effectively legislate anything. There is far too much party biased politics for anything to get done properly.
