Immigration Debate - Humble, TX

[Bobby Hopper]

My vote is based on doing what is best for my country. Upholding our laws is of importance to me also. Anyone who opts for people of a certain race, color,or political view to enter my country merly for gaining an extra vote down the road is not only a racist but a destroyer of the United States

[bobby Hopper]

Arizona is following the law. It's as simple as that. What part of illegal do the left-wing not understand?

[E.B.V]

No,I don´t.Mexicans come here to work not to hurt no one.If there were no mexicans here in the U.S. the people who really have papers are not going to work in the sun or construction. Citizens only want to work in the air conditioner and not outside.If really mexicans were not here working their wouldnt be houses build inthe U.S at all.

Do you really believe no one is willing to work outside? There are plenty of youths that I know that would love to mow grass or work in a fast food place, but all the mexicans are taking jobs for lower than minimum wage and employers won't hire someone for more than $3 an hour.

[Josh]

Mexicans are taking jobs for lower wages that youths want and need.

[Immigration Reformer]

Mexicans are coming here illegally, then having all these babies that are automatically citizens. The system is broke. Enough is Enough. Need to send them all back home, including children born here to illegals. In the last 30 years, our country is turning BROWN. Not good. We don't want the crime that now plagues Mexico. As far as the cheap labor, we don't need Mexicans

this is not true. i have done physical labor most of my life and i still do at 42 years old, alot of americans enjoy working outdoors and dont like to be inside all day. How do you think these jobs got done before the huge influx of illeagls came here ? americans did these jobs and they will do them again. you and anyone who thinks this, have no idea how hard americans will work and to say they wont do these jobs shows your ignorance of our culture and our history. Illegals and the people who hire them are hurting america and need to be delt with. Our law enforcement needs to get tough on these people and deport the illegals and fine the people who hire them. that would solve our unemployment problem.

its not just the youth who will do these jobs, I have worked construction as an electrician and voice data installer, I have also installed cable tv ( not easy )I have done lawn maintenance and landscaping (sometimes digging holes for palm trees chest deep and shovel wide by hand), I've worked in resturants, driven tow trucks among many other types of hard work over the years and in the past almost all of my co-workers were hard working americans from all age groups. But now most of these jobs are done by illegals. Americans of all ages and walks of life have done this work for years and would do it again if these people were not here.

If I have to follow the rules of the land, then everyone else should. If you want to live in this country, then do it legally. This includes all illegal immigrants, not just Hispanic.
