Obviously Marilyn, you do not see that using someone else's ID is illegal. You also have not been witness to what people have to go through to clear up the mess. I doubt you realize how much in welfare is spent, or the medical cost.

If I remember my Christian teachings, no where did it say it was proper or accepted to lie, cheat, and steal in order to have anything. Even the church has rules one must follow. Just because someone WANTS a better life, does not mean they are OWED one. They may be hard working, which most are, but I do not remember where being hard working trumps stealing in order to do it. If you believe it is their culture we need to understand and embrace, sorry. I guess if we had people from New Guinia (sic) here, you would have no problem with them taking their children and slicing them up with razors to look like crocodiles. That is their culture. Do you embrace that? How about the culture that says it is ok, even demanded, that you kill your family members if they bring disgrace to you? Embrace that one.

I cannot look into the eyes of another human being that is truly trying, who are victims of their circumstances, and tell them they do not belong here.

Tell me that same line if you come home and find someone taking up residence in your front room. You know, some down on his luck guy who lost his job and just wants to live in a better house. I mean, gosh, he is trying.

I see my name at the end, but what you wrote wasn't in English so I don't understand.

We are paying them now, so if we just send the parents back and leave the kids here we will still pay for them anyway you look at it. I've paid for my kids to go to school and college with no help from anyone. Do you thing we need to pay more higher everything to support them? Maybe we need to start charging mexico for all of their illegals and that way we could get something in return for what they have done to our country. I know this sounds crazy, but I have to yell a little once in a while.

You know, I have no problems with Hispanics, and I realise it wasn't the kids mistake... I photographed right along side the one that had immigration issues, we ran a photography club at the high school photographing all the sports related needs. Great photographer.

However you can't expect that just because they come over here free willing or not that they receive special treatment, lowered college tuition or Special grants. That sounds like discrimination against Whites as well... the government or organizations offering reduced rates to Hispanics.

If we were to be illegals in Mexico we would be treated horribly, tossed in jail and who knows what else. Why can't I get reduced college rates in Mexico??? Or special treatment... huh?

If were giving reduced college in America, or benefits for being Hispanic or Illegal, only more are going to keep coming illegally. Theres enough Hispanics to turn Mexico into the right direction why not stay there and bring your country out of poverty... Canada is doing well. You can't tell me that out of those Millions of Illegal immigrants in the United States... not one of them is not smart enough to do something life changing to the country of Mexico. I mean come on people... stop slouching in America and help your own country.

Victim of their circumstance? Using that analogy you could say that because someone is poor and hungry it's ok for them to steal to eat. Let me tell you WHO the VICTIM is... The VICTIM is each and every tax payer in this country right down to the the city level. The VICTIM is each and every person who has their credit history ruined because of ID theft. The VICTIM is every person and their family who is killed or has had a crime committed against them by an illegal immigrant that does NOT respect our LAWS. Yeah...lets talk about being a victim. Pardon me if you don't get much sympathy from me.

We take in tons of immigrants here each year. They can come here legally just like a lot do but they CHOOSE to disrespect our laws from the get go.

Not really...what is hard to deal with is the disrespect of our laws.

You mean like letting them go to school for free? You mean reaching out like...printing everything in Spanish? Perhaps you mean giving them sanctuary in our city? Maybe you mean providing a special person in each class room that speaks Spanish to make it easier for them to learn? Could you mean the people at the packing plants that give them classes on how to get over on our system? You are right...we need to do MORE to make the CRIMINAL ALIENS feel comfortable in our country while they rape, rob and murder the tax paying citizens...
