Immigrants need to get some respect

IT is now clear that John McCain will be the Republican nominee for president. The improbable resurrection of his candidacy - overcoming major leads by his opponents in the polls and in fundraising - occurred ...

Just curious Gary, how many ILLEGAL aliens does your business employ?
It is not 'anti-immigrant retoric', it is illegal aliens whos exploding number will eventually bring this country on the brink of something terrible. You Gary should realise already that more and more citizens have gotten very angry and this anger will not go anywhere, it will only grow bigger and bigger. And then I'm afraid, things can get ugly...God please save us all...

I agree with the premise that immigrants should get respect. And as we respect the immigrants we should strongly condemn the ILLEGAL immigrants who denigrate the efforts of those who paid honor to our country by observing our laws and rules. Why shouldn't there by loud and irate voices over the plundering of our country? Our resources are being stolen; our hospitals and schools are overwhelmed, and our culture is in the toilet. Every community should be organizing and VOTING OUT every elected official who does not support enforcement of immigration laws.

The only respect illegal aliens "deserve" is a "Get out of America Free Bus Pass" on board of the "Straight Talk Express".

I do respect immigrants.

However, along with tens of millions of other Americans, I am beyond outrage over the invasion of Illegal Crimi-grants that has dumped 15 -> 20 million Crim-aliens and freeloading, social-services sucking parasites into the U.S..

The law-abiding U.S. citizen and payroll worker is getting absolutely spanked.

I came as Legal Immigrant into this beautiful Country through Brownsville, TX., in 1962 a week before JFK was assassinated in Dallas. I got drafted in 1969 and served in the US Army in the Viet Nam Era. Now a U.S. Citizen I am proud to be an American without forgetting my culture which is Hispanic. There is nothing wrong with the illegal aliens people are beginning to hate specifically Brown color, they don't realize that Haitians, Arminina, Jews, Nigerians, Africans, Congolians, Asians, Koreans, China, Japan, Russians, Germans, Arabians, Iraqis, Iranis, Italians, Turquis, you name it we got people coming from all over the world illegally into this country why the hatred against the Latinos the only people working in the cold weather in the farms making sure we have food in our table every day. Lou Dubbs is against Latinos but he loves Mexican food of Margaritas. Bottom line yes there is a lot of ill-hatred against Latinos but if you watch Tru TV (Court TV) COPS you'll be the judge who commit the most heinous crimes against elderly and young and even against cops.
When I was in the Military I learned no to hate my neighbor nor my friends and I never did. And and tough that same lesson to my family three Daughters and to my only Son who is now presently in the U.S. Army just finished 15 months tour in Iraq and going in December to Afghanistan, he has no problems with no one he gets along with everybody.
So Stop the Hate and Love or say Hi to your Neighbor or your co-worker or friend,just say hi and smile, HATE WILL GET YOU NOWHERE, PEOPLE WILL HATE YOU INSTEAD AND YOU WILL HAVE NO FRIENDS, INSTEAD ANGER WITHIN YOU.

Yes, we do have illegals here from other countries. But 85% of them happen to be from Mexico.
It's the illegals from Mexico we've seen marching in our streets, waving flags from their homeland, refusing to assimilate, embrace our culture or learn our language.
They have put a Mexican face on illegal aliens in this country!
Btw...it's kind of difficult to talk to your neighbors when they don't understand what you're saying.

Respect my ass. Illegal immigrants have no respect for the laws of the United States, so they deserve none in return.

The ILLEGALS are CRIMINALS.

The ILLEGALS do NOT belong in the United States.

It's that simple.

The point is not that illegal is good but that who the government chooses to let in legally is an equally big problem. This needs reforming.

That is not what Clinton, McCain and Obama think. The voters decided that one long ago.

Adapt the recent Arizona Employers Sanctions Act. Employers are mandated to use the federal ssn verification system. If they don't, they are liable for criminal prosecution. Make the environment such that illegals will have to look elsewhere to settle down.
The laws on the books make sense. Just enforce them.

How do you explain the support for Ronald Amnesty Reagan, George NAFTA Bush, Bill NAFTA Clinton and George FTAA Bush? Every four years America votes in someone seeking open borders ala the EU.
Obama, Clinton and McCain are cut from the same cloth. An anti-amnesty politician could never be nominated by either party.
It happens over and over.
Do you know how many folks would be here in south Florida if illegals were rounded up? It would be a vast empty wasteland. The same goes for Texas, Arizona and California. Talk about a depressed ghost town.

Hatred of immigrants, legal or illegal, is not the problem, make this clear. The problem now is just too many immigrants, in other words, too many people and overpopulation. Overpopulation in some countries results from a high birth rate. Overpopulation in the United States is resulting from immigration.
Legal or semi legal immigrants also drain the taxpayer through the social service systems.
The welfare deluxe refugee program comes from the state department:
Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration
WWW.STATE.GOV/G/PRM
Low interest business loans, one of the benefits, helps fund "Little Ethiopias."
Search for article "The Word's Retirement Home" and see how wealthy elderly immigrants, no English never worked or paid taxes here,are coming here to retire on our welfare systems.
Search for articles pertaining to elderly Chinese and welfare use, or Russians on the refugee plan. As one hispanic woman said to me "People complain about hispanics getting welfare, but Russians get it for life." Also read "The Baby Registry of Choice" about Koreans flying in to have citizen babies. Overlooked is the rapid growth of the Korean population here. How are they coming in so fast and so many? They can fly in and qualify for (oppressed minority) business loans, hard won by the civil rights movement they never participated in.
Armenians and Russians on programs live in the better neighborhoods, not with the poorer often black and hispanic groups who must be receiving only coach class welfare.
