Review: can someone illegal make some sense for me. all i hear is bragging about being illegal, and what education you may obtain. I always see illegal boasting the mexican flag. If Mexico is so great why not stay there and help your people and country. i am an american and i would never move to mexico or anywhere else. I stay where... I am not ashamed to stay. I stay where i am proud of. I wave my Red, White, and BLUE..because I am here on the land i am proud of. They have beaches and all i need here. So why would i go to another country and wave a US Flag if my country did't really care if I leave. So, don't get confused about how many illegals are here. No matter what if you p!$$ us off, make no mistake we would stop all your accounts,all medical care, schooling and business loans. And then if illegals decide they will try to cause havoc. Rest assured that no matter what they drive or how many degrees they have. THEY WILL BE PUT IN CHECK. SO AS LONG AS ILLEGALS BE NICE. AMERICANS WILL LET YOU HAVE A LITTLE TO PACIFY YOU. WE HAVE THE MOST LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE MOST POWERFUL MILITARY,so wave your litte flag its okay. Just never forget who's really incharge of you future. The Truth hurt

Review: As an American from Mexico living in the United States of Noth America I can only say that this country gives a chance to anyone who is willing to do something with their talents. Now! Don't write about you having no job or that immigrants took your job away or that you and other couple of crippled Legal Citizens want to give themselves the credit by saying that it cost you and the government any extra money, when instead illegals pay the same or if not more on everything from taxes to medical care. For example do you know that any Legal citizen gets at least $1,500 to $2,500 or more on your tax returns and do you know we illegals have to pay for our medical care services regarless of wheter we are immigrants or not, also what about receiving compensation because you were laid off I bet you think with your big ignorance that probably some or may be several illegals can also get government help to support our families and how about getting Medicaid, or Food stamps or help to pay your bills when you can when you family is a low income family and the list can go on.
Please don't come complaining when the only one being responsible for your lack of skill is nobody but your self!

Review: The crime quotient caused by illegals, far higher than the general populace renders any benefit moot, costing over 55000-60000 legal immigrants and native citizens since 9/11 and growing by the day. Fortunately with the recession and economic downturn these illegals are losing their houses, jobs, and moving back home. They need to fix the problems in their respective home countries instead of creating additional problems in the US. More illegal immigration means fewer jobs and lower wages for legal immigrants and native citizens. It is a travesty of disturbing proportion. Actions will be taken and illegals and their supporters will not like them. Everything must be done to eliminate the problem.

Review: Its more complicated than what it sounds. that goes for those who say why dont you just become legalized. I came here when I was 3 yrs old. Im 25 and I still havent become legalized. I could've payed someone to marry me and become legalized, but i didnt. I have waited it out, kept a clean criminal record and obtained a B.A. in education from a University. I have lost count of community service hours invested for my future carrer, in which i cant work on yet. Are you telling me that I would not be an valuable asset for this country? Think about it?

Review: It's so sad that in 2008 people still with that ignorance. Step in an immigrant shoes and you'll see what it's like to leave everithing in your country and come here to work so hard, I would like to go to my country but if I go my family will not have anything to eat. Do you want that for your family?

Review: WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS!! THIS WORLD IS NOT OURS WE ARE JUST BORROWING A MINISCULE PIECE OF IT IN TERMS OF SPACE AND TIME. I think that it is ironic how people cling to things instead of their humanity...AND AMERICA IS NOT A COLOR FOR THOSE OF YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO BE ETHNOCENTRIC IDIOTS. AMERICA WAS ALWAYS AN IDEAL "A CHANCE TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR ONESELF FREE OF PERSECUTION" ANDYONE WHO WAS BORN HERE OR NOT WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS COUNTRY HAS REPRESENTED SINCE IT'S INCEPTION IS THE REAL IMMIGRANT AND DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIVE HERE! SO HEY FOLLOW THE PRINCIPLE AND WORK TO MAKE YOUR LIFE BETTER INSTEAD OF BLAMING ALL YOUR DEFICIENCIES ON OTHERS. The power you think immigrants are taking from you are already within you so unleash that power and be prosperous and blessed. Hopefully one day you will use that power help others. BTW: I AM A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
