Illegal Immigrants in Plainfield

[Anon]

I'm sure many of these people are hard working but they are taking lots of taxpayer money. At the hospital they get free health care paid for by taxpayers. The jails have lots of them.

All of them need to be deported.

ok, then you pick the lettuce anon, or at least agree to pay triple for your food. seriously, that's the choice. illegals work for the pay that citizens won't, and that's why inflation is nonexistent for domestically made goods that don't relate to petroleum.

We Americans have spoiled ourselves bringing our stardard of living to a confortable having everything for nothing, but now that the economy is in a dump, we are looking for ways to justify slavery again by allowing ilegals to come in the US.

America is for Americans and those who wish to become Americans! Individuals who were legally invited to come here by our government. The rest are parasites ... they mean us no good! They are in it for what they can take from us not what they contribute. Unless you call Hospitals nationwide having to close down. Overtaxed educational system. Bankrupting the social service programs that were never meant for them in the first place!
They became criminals by crossing the border uninvited ...and the seriousness of their criminal activities increases as they obtain false papers to avoid detection!
They are not our responsibility< they are the responsibility of their own goverments!

Contrary to popular belief, immigrants do not take away jobs from American workers. Instead, they create new jobs by forming new businesses, spending their incomes on American goods and services, paying taxes and raising the productivity of U.S. businesses. Immigrants are good for the economy, not the other way around.

* A U.S. Department of Labor study prepared by the Bush Administration noted that the perception that immigrants take jobs away from American workers is "the most persistent fallacy about immigration in popular thought" because it is based on the mistaken assumption that there is only a fixed number of jobs in the economy.
* Experts note that immigrants are blamed for unemployment because Americans can see the jobs immigrants fill but not the jobs they create through productivity, capital formation and demand for goods and services.
* Immigrants pay more than $90 billion in taxes every year and receive only $5 billion in welfare. Without their contributions to the public treasury, the economy would suffer enormous losses.

I have no problem with people who have legally immigrated to this country through the proper channels. These legal immigrants who were invited here, to live and work and build a new life, by our government, for the most part are an asset to America!
Those parasites who came across our borders were criminals when they crossed over here and with every breath they take here. They are bancrupting educational, medical and social services meant for US Citizens. All across this country of ours, they are slowly destroying our quality of life!
A New York Times poll a while back found out that 75% of all Americans are angered at their presence. I myself will not deal with any company who sends me correspondence that is both in English and spanish. I have many, many like minded friends!

where did you get this fact from ? most immigrants legal or illegal, send most of their money back to the native country and spend very little on american goods.

[i agree]

Mass immigration and particularly illegal immigration is this country's response to slavery. Some things may have changed but the cheap labor based on people from a specific ethnicity who can't represent themselves has not.
Illegal immigrants create an unsustainable system at the core of our economy. Nobody works for peanuts willingly forever. Eventually, the resentment and despair will cause pockets of violence and corruption that will affect all of our daily lives. This response has been seen in every culture that has ever migrated to these shores and the fact that La eMe is the largest gang in the country shows that the cycle is just continuing.
Illegal immigrants also upset the balance of the world on a global level. If the US is siphoning cheap labor from its neighbors and naive immigrants then the rest of the world will feel entitled to do the same as well in order to compete.
We are essentially contributing to the extreme growth of a population of nomads. All they have is their family and cultures. They leave their homes behind for a place that doesn't want them. We're already footing the bill for this now, but it's just the beginning.
It's time to stop worrying about the racial distractions and get down to business. We can't support ourselves anymore so it is foolish to think that we could support anyone else. Put a moratorium on immigration period (except through marriage) and give everyone VISAs. Let them use our services freely; we just need to pass the bill on to their countries of origin instead of making it a US taxpayer issue.
