There is nothing wrong with immigrants coming to america to work, as long as they do it legally and abide by our immigration laws. My wife's parents and grandparents came to america from Germany in 1954 and legally set up residence here in the United States. They have been proud legal citizens of this great nation since 1956. Immigration is what makes this country rich in history. As a nation we need to make sure that all who enter our borders follow the same rules and laws that citizens are required to abide by.

This is true. I believe that no immigrants speaking of mexicans in paticular since this seams to be the problem right now. They do not pay taxes they send all their money back to mexico, which in return hurts our economy. If the government makes any new law alowing this, i believe that that will cause much anger because they are basically saying come into this country illegally we wont do anything about it.

I personally have to agree with both Tim & Brad. It doesn't sound like racism, just facts.

There is nothing wron g with being raciest. You can't help it if you don't like certain people. The truth hurts but I totally agree with Tim and Brad to. But I also think if they don't want to follow our rules they can just leave.

Immigration is good in ways and bad in ways. it is good because they go for the low paying jobs also but it is bad because now our health care has to take care of more and if they are not legal then they want to go to our school and our parents have to pay taxes for students whos parents probably are not even paying taxes. So there is ups and downs about immigration.

Immigration is crazy cause they need to go back to there own country.
