As long as the greater majority of them come here to work, promote the GDP, and pay taxes just like everyone else I have no problem.your signs are motivated by race, my problem is motivated by illegal activity. Are you ok with any country in the world flying planes over America and letting their refugees parachute in?
explain how my statement is misguided, could they not do this if they wanted to?
Can you bring up the negatives again? Please, just quote Allvols posts about incarceration percentages from earlier. Also, completely disregard the poem on the statue of liberty, as well as the fact that these working immigrants pay taxes while our lower class citizens receive full tax refunds. Remember to make the point that legislation is all powerful and immutably right, while living in denial of such legislatively permissive acts such as the Slave Trade, the exclusion of Asians into America, the segregation of whites and blacks from 1865 to 1964 in half of America, the prohibition of the female vote, etc., etc., ad infinitum.what about the negatives?
"Because of the distortions, half-truths, accusations of racism, and oft-times irrational thought processes, illegal immigration has become an issue many liberals seek to avoid discussing at all costs."

* poverty
* lawlessness
* social conflict
* over-population
* unemployment
* lowered wages
* vote fraud
* increased crime
* illegal drugs

over 80 hospitals in California have closed because of the burden of illegals. i have no source but heard this on mark christopher's show. you can reach him @ http://www.markchristopher.net/
umm... do i have to explain it? no, the mexicans couldn't shut down their prisons and ship the criminals to south texas, i shouldn't have to prove myself on that one, it's a no-brainer. I am sure there are many, many people that would agree with me. Now if you would give me a good explanation on how they could, I would love to see that.

* overcrowded and under-funded schools
since illegal immigrants pay taxes and usually live in lower income school districts, the illegal immigrants are actually funding the majority of the schools their children (US Citizens mind you) attend. The funding problem would be more of a district budgetary distribution problem.
* diseases (like tuberculosis and leprosy; in America?!?!..yes)
Agree with emain on this one. Absolutely asinine. Why don't we just deport homosexuals and African Americans since their populations are shown to have higher rates of AIDS.
* increased health care costs
refer to above
* degraded health care service
again, refer to above
* higher auto insurance premiums
Shop around and find lower rates. Also, private businesses are allowed to charge what they please. Personally, it outrages me when people mention auto insurance rates and blame it on anyone but the governments that have mandated that individual citizens MUST purchase auto insurance.
* poverty
Right, there was no poverty in the US prior to immigration. Also, in economical terms the US is as near full employment as is possible.
* lawlessness
Same rate of incarceration among non citizens as among citizens in 2004 and 2005
* social conflict
is this code for rascism??? I seriously do not understand what this means
* over-population
The state of Texas is large enough to contain every American. Each American would have over half an acre to themselves.
* unemployment
refer to above comment concerning the present unemployment rate
* lowered wages
This is called capitalism, Karl.
* vote fraud
* increased crime
refer to above comment concerning incarceration percentages
* illegal drugs
All drugs should be legalized.
* environmental degradation
huh? Are Mexicans bad for the environment??
* depletion of natural resources
I guess they don't use natural resources in Mexico...
* loss of common language and culture
Another phrase for rascism. Good thing the Chinese, Irish, Italians, Germans, African Americans, Jews, etc., ad infinitum left their cultures and languages at home.
* increased traffic congestion
Poor babies, have to sit in rush hour traffic an extra 15 minutes...
* higher taxes
Dead wrong!
* overcrowded and under-funded schools - happens without illegals so you can blame government for that. As far as underfunded goes, keep in mind that these illegals buy goods in local stores and generate quite a large amount of sales tax collected for these local items.
* diseases (like tuberculosis and leprosy; in America?!?!..yes) legals can bring these in just as easy.
* increased health care costs - again, most will avoid hospital treatment. They don't want to be seen. Also see above reference to generating local and state taxes to fund medicaid.
* degraded health care service - how?
* higher auto insurance premiums - cell phone and stereo junkies are just as repsonsible...take their toys away as well.
* poverty - should we deport homeless as well?
* unemployment - or capitalist market at work?
* lowered wages - see above
* vote fraud - happens more with dead people and legal citizens than illegals. I've yet to see illegals flock to the polls.
* illegal drugs - has been occuring for years without illegals
* environmental degradation - because of construction jobs to build 'whitey's' house?
* loss of common language and culture - then end legal immigration as well. Have you been to NYC lately?
* increased traffic congestion - blame poor urban planning for that. And since they carpool with 10 to a vehicle, they are more responsible than we Americans are.
* higher taxes - send the bill to those flag waving Americans who hire these people and conveniently forget to file payroll taxes or 1099's. I mean if we're punishing lawbreaking, you would need to punish those Americans who are breaking American laws as well right? If your policy is to NOT punish those Americans, you have just condoned AMNESTY yourself. You want to give those Americans who are brekaing the law and defrauding the taxpayers complete AMNESTY.
So, the only people that are allowed to come into America are the rich and the wealthy? You get more arrogant with each post. If you cannot read between the lines, that is your hint to just cut your losses and get out of the discussion.Yes they can, but not at the same rate. People from poorer societies are much more susceptable to disease, thus importing poverty means importing disease.
Sick people do not avoid hospital care.
Hospitals are having to direct funding and time to issues they should not have to be dealing with.
more?
Well considering many of the legals we let in are poor, do you know if we are screening every one coming in for every known disease?
Sick people who are afraid of being deported will avoid hospital care. I've talked to a few emergency room workers and all tell me that the ones with no documentation are usually forced to go by family members thinking they're about to die. It's usually the worst case medical conditions that they come in for. And the quick fix hospitals are low cost and the illegals pay cash there.

I answered it earlier. I would examine the cost:benefit ratio of having them there. If it was more beneficial to keep them in my house, then I would keep them there. If it was more costly, I would get rid of them.OOhh getting angry are we. Come on throw another one of your racist labels out there, isn't that your last resort. Speaking of arrogant(in bold above), got a mirror. I see you have run out of excuses to support illegal immigration. Never have answered the part about people that you have not acknowledged living in your house.
