"illegal aliens" have lower unemployment rates then legal aliens (citizens), immigrants also take up the menial labor jobs that slaves use to do, our economy was based and is dependent on cheap labor...and about laws, before we can start obeying the laws of a country we must obey the laws of nature which is survival, and no border or fence or river will deter a man from feeding himself or his family.

And by the way many immigrants do pay taxes, and not just sales tax, many immigrants use made up social securities (which employers never verify)

Don't worry

It's alright fellows they're not receiving financial aid but they're still cooperating to have a better country, Whatever I think some of you are jelaous that being legal citizens are not taking the advantage of this country, illegal alliens are going to universities, and please return all the money you guys keep from taxes to them now you are asking for money? Ask your current government for the money they're still investing in a capricious war. Thank you Arnold for the fear you have that illegal aliens will take your job.

Dream Act

I think that we are being selfish. I have some friends that are ILLEGAL ALIENS, and they are nice people. They didn't choose to be here. Their parents brought them here when they were babies. I know it is a crime, but the ones that are the TRUE CRIMINALS are already in jail. If they are in the university is because they want to become someone in life. I wouldn't mind paying for their education through the use of my taxes, for I know that our money is being used for different stuff like the Iraq war and Israeli help for example. This is for a just cause. Let the good stay, let those in jail leave. That's fair. After all, Anglos invaded their homeland, we are the real ALIENS. I think that "ALIEN" is an incorrect word. It dehumanizes a person. "Extraterrestrial," what would you feel if they called you that? You have to learn your history before you start talking. The US provoked the Mexican-American War by sending troops to Mexican soil. We took it from them. The least we could do is help them get through college.

DREAM ACT S.B 1301

Obviously not many people read the bill s.b 1301 which states that it is privately funded. I recommend that if anyone would like to make an argument, that person should do some research instead of making them selves look like Sarah palin. I’m also aware that tax dollars are also pitched in by undocumented immigrants or as the bandwagon likes to call it, "illegal aliens.” which by the way if I note they will never see again because of their illegal status. There for all the tax money the "illegal aliens" contribute to the state, it all already goes to me and all the other happy sharing Americans. I don’t know why we Americans keep getting greedier and greedier by the year. Hasn’t the bail out problem taught us a lesson yet?

Dream Act

Ok, so many don't pay taxes. I would still use tax money to help a good cause which is an education. Whether or not, tax money for to the real criminals which are in jail. These people are trying to make something of their lives. Also, no one is perfect, I bet most people have broken a law. While some do it for a little fun, these people are doing it to better themselves as people. They would not come to simply be discriminated against, they would want to be home, but they come to work their butts off and for what, to be brought down by the people who who did the same couple centuries ago?

You finally got something right. And the other comment is correct - the term is ILLEGAL ALIEN. Stop trying to make them sound like they're perfectly good people, THEY ARE CRIMINALS. My tax dollars should not go towards paying for foreign students to learn here. We had a few legal foreign students at my college who had their tuition payed for through private ENDOWMENTS. If you love them so much, pay for their educations out of your own pocket.

What's an undocumented immigrant?

Oh, you mean illegal aliens. Someone who is in the country illegally, has broken the law and should be deported? Gosh, I'd just love it for my money to be taken from me (via taxation) to pay for their education, not!
