First of all i didnt know that U.S was the only country on earth. so then why do people out of other countries being called illigal aliens? i have two eyes a nose a mouth,two arms,feet and have human like emotions just like you so dont classify me as an alien!

How dare you call babys of latin origin achorbabies, can i say that about your children. what give you people the right to be so cruel. its easy to say that we have no right to be here, to work here to even concevive childern. you are not a god or an anyway the owner of the property in which we reside. are you all forgetting that we all immigrated to this country! weather it was you or your family. guess what... WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANT OR LIKE YOU PEOPLE SAID ACHORBABIES! how can you get mad about me having a job and paying taxes yes you heard right! remeber your the ones who decide and vote where my money goes!

wow you people can be so hurtful and ingnored, how can you tell me that i dont pay taxes. everytime i go to work using a fake social scurity i pay taxes. which i cant collect or try to claim. when i go to the store to buy anyhing i pay taxes just like you. i dont recieve food stamps or wellfare, i dont get financial aid. im not here to take your jobs, im here to get a good education. i didnt choose to come here my mother brought me here when i was only one year old. you dont know the stuggles i face on a daily basis.im getting so tired that of you stupid people whynning about how "WE" are taking all your jobs, when you alike all of us can get up off your ass and go look for one. lets face it most of you are to high maitnace to go work a twelve hour shift, work in the dirt, in the hott sun all day just so you can get paid $7 dollars an hour. come one people im tired of being your excuse for you lazyness.

Obama's plan for redistribution of wealth, illegals

I am still trying to understand who I must redistribute the wealth to?

Seems most of the people poor here are only poor because they send their wealth back home, or because they haven't been able to steal an identity yet.

Poor people are mostly those living under the radar.

Maybe Arizona has the right idea.

Their State voted by ballot to make hiring an illegal an illegal act, and balloted laws for enforcement to act and deport.

This is probably not spoken of by candidates because they both hope ACORN signed up illegals to vote for their own cause.

Obamas paln

I though the answer was we are supposed to learn Spanish. Isn't that what the great one told us?

Give illegals immigrant a chance

In every thing their is good and bad and 9out of 10 are hear for good reason if every one of us was to think we are in that shoes then we all would have a better understanding plenty leave there family and also been hear for 5 and more years just to better them self and family who even lost mother, father but unable to go back at the same time i have lot of friends who work very hard and wanted to have a bank account wanted to have more open opportunity in which they can pay there taxes and spend money hear than to send it to their country but it's easy for them to send it home without not much question ask like opening a bank account they need this they need that.It's better to be in the light than for 12millions are more hiding in the dark and lot of them willing but scared please check their back ground and give them the chance we are all flesh and blood and a family are friend could be in this shoes.

THINK ABOUT IF ALL THE ILLEGALS WAS TO PAY THEIR OWN TAX DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THIS COUNTRY WOULD BE MAKING IF THEY CONTINUE TO HIDE TRUST ME THEY WILL FIND WAYS TO WORK THEY NOT GOING TO LEAVE AT THE SAME TIME THEY USING UP MY TAX MONEY GOING TO HOSPITAL FREE ECT.i AM A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY AND I CANT GO TO THE HOSPITAL FREE WHAT SENCE DOES IT MAKE.i HOPE THE NEW GOVERMENT LOOK DEEPLY INTO THIS SITIUATION AND MAKE A CHANGE SO WHILE WORKING AND LIVING FREE THEY GET THE RIGHTS LIKE EVERY OTHER CITIZEN AND PAY THEIR DUES.

illegal aliens

I think its a little late to be concerned. Our elected officials don't have the backbone, the guts, or the character

to do what is right. McCain and Obama are two AFRAID people who

do not give one iota about this country. PERIOD. Rather than

do what is right or what the people have asked, over & over &

over again, to close our fuck--- borders, they instead are afraid of one thing, and that is "losing the hispanic vote" All

these two care about is their own legacy and could give a crap

about the U.S. or its people. Yes, I'm afraid this has gone on

for so long that it's beyond stopping, so I just would get used

to the fact that a 3rd world is coming very soon the this place

I once called home. Believe me I see it everyday, the first thing I see everymorning is an illegal alien and the last thing I hear at night is some drunk Mexican yelling in Spanish. Our elected officials are so isolated from reality, but they have set themselves up to live comfortable lives, Why do you think

they would care about us taxpayers think. They get what they want, our money and a nice life. And the illegals would charge less to clean their houses...

Close The United States of America for good:)

The United States of America should have been closed and cleaned up a long time. We should have one language only in this country. The language should be English only. Close The Country and Deport all the Illegals who don't belong here.

God Bless The USA and Save our Country.

what don't you understand

When a person from another country enters the United States without permission, they have broken the law. Why is there a question about sending them back to their country? If it is OK to break that law and be rewarded by being allowed to stay here for whatever reason, why can't I rob a bank and keep the money?
