View Full Version : Illegal immigration - You know the drill

Okay, another thing i've been wondering/researching.
i think illegal immigrants should be accepted into the USA, and given full rights like residents.
This nation was founded by illegal immigrants, persecuted because of their views from their other country, and yet, 300 years later, we have changed out ways, and patched up the constetution and changed our laws.
why? immigrants are still as much a part of the united states today as they were 300 years ago.
ill post some facts later.
first, i wanna hear what you guys think.

why should they be accepted here ? i have a couple of reasons saying why they shouldnt.
-They'll take up so many jobs that other people might want to have.
-They'll of course start getting homes ( which i dont blame them, they do need a roof over there head.)but other than that what if some immigrant takes the home of what your family always wanted and they just come and they take it, or any other homes ( not by force i mean, paying actually :D)
- what if they'll cause problems in the community that they will be staying at ? you never know what might happen.
- thats why they have Green Cards.
-Other than that thats all i got, ill post more information i'll soon get.

YEAH! lets just make it easier for them to smuggle even more drugs.
btw the pilgrims that settled here came over because their king was forcing his religion on them.
if the illegal immigrants came to our borders because of a lack of freedom from their home county, then so be it......let them in.
after thats what were all about.....spreading freedom

@ Evilhadoken - You're totally wrong.
They'll take up so many jobs that other people might want to have.
- They usually just take jobs people don't want to do.
They'll of course start getting homes ( which i dont blame them, they do need a roof over there head.)but other than that what if some immigrant takes the home of what your family always wanted and they just come and they take it, or any other homes ( not by force i mean, paying actually :D)

I already told you im not a republican
yes I was serious, you cannot deny that if your idea became law, that it would make it easier to smuggle drugs......there is just no argument.
People who were here first:
(in consecutive order)
1) Aztecs in the south west, a number of indiginouse tribes in the north.
2) the vickings on a couple of years stay
3) the Chinese voyager Zheng He and his crew
>>> oppression begins here ccc
4) Chirstepher collumbu and his group of assholes
5) pilgrims
6) enlgish to come and colonize
alright.
aztecs got killed by the spainish.....blame them, not us
"vickings" left by themselves......cant blame us for that (not saying you did)
"chirstepher collumbu" (lmao) was like italian or somthin.....not one ofus. (personally, I also think he was a fool)
pilgrims (christians persecuted by the king of england)....nah I doubt they killed any indians, I dunno
And oppressing a large number of people. God I love oppressing a large number of people.
dont blame the oppressions of the minority of "oppressors" on the rest ofus americans.

First of all, I don't think drugs play as big of a factor in illegal immigration as you guys might think. Even if we outlaw all immigration drugs will still find there way into America.
And another thing, I came here from Russia because my mom married an American guy so I actually know alot about this stuff. I know alot of people who are here illegally. America grants student/work visas to people from other states. They allow those people to stay here for a certain amount of time, depending on why they came here. Alot of these people end up never leaving and that is what an illegal immigrant basicly is. And not some terrorist dude swimming over an ocean with a bag of coke on his back. These people are harmless and just strive for a better future for them selves and most likely their children.
I feel very bad saying this but I think that, if anything, they should stop allowing this much immigrants to enter. America strives to seem as the richest and most successfull country in the world but the fact of the matter is we have more than 180billion dollars in trading debt. How do i know this?
I take an economics class and let me tell you guys what I've learned has me tossing and turning at night. We owe to almost every single country that we are allied with! Their is an EXTREME deficit in work placement. We are in a very bad shape and if you don't believe me just try going out and finding a job that will atleast give you your basic needs. And do you know what one of the major causes of all of this is? The fact that America simply can not take any more people.
Think of it like this. We are a balloon. That ballon is being filled every day. Did you know that an airplane sets in America every 45 seconds? Now lets imagine that latleast one person per every two planes is an immigrant. How many people is that per 24hours? How about 24/7? We are like a balloon. And as a ballon we are running out of space.

I hate them and its not because I'm republican its because I'm legal, the fact that they came here just to leave there country is bs to me, my mom went to america for 6 months so I never saw my mom for 6 months. We left our country because of many reasons mainly for better living conditions. So I am as you say a illegalist. If they want to work here, fine but they better do it legally.
Or here's a better way okay
Right now there are millions that live in U.S. correct. but with an increase in population does many things. For instance if there are more ppl here then don't you think U.S. would be in the billions by now. Too many people = too much resources for them. Including, medical, foods, clothing, land, etc. Its not that its not a bad idea VF, but its too costly and too chaotic for a any country to keep up with. And the whole they'll work for less stuff, that would be useless because then they would be citizens which means they can just get better jobs instead of crappy ones.

Illegal Imigration should not be allowed in the United States. Then that would be called "legal". Seriously, what is the point of a whole mess of people coming out of god knows where trying to make money in the United States just to go back to their poor ass country and give them the money they had made. Or even if they are trying to "start" all over again, how many of them come with a REAL degree to start all over again in the United States? Most of them cause trouble, here in Miami is full of cuban imigrants. And almost all of them just end up drunk off there ass and get themselves months in jail.
Not only that, but the United States already allows like 250,000 immigrants a year. That is more than enough. We can not have an overpopulated country especially if most of the immigrants are just going be poor as hell "the usual", with limited rights, (since they are not citizens), but with alot more freedom. And freedom in the United States has a whole different meaning than what the dictionary says it is.
Now I think it is wrong for an Immigration bus to pick up some immigrants while they are waiting in the bus stops to go to work, but I don't see why they just don't go through Nationalism. It is not that hard, my family are from the Dominican Republic and they got here just fine.
The United States is not like before, this is not a NEW COUNTRY. There are laws and they are trying to be more secure about who to let in. Lots of spies out there from different countries trying to see what we got. This is mostly for the country's safety. Even though we spy as well, I think it is more secure this way. And like I said before, going through Nationalism is not that hard.
I don't really care what anybody got to say but this is how I feel.

If the country is running out of money, get some more money, manage it better!
Get the money where? The government taxes us 30%, we owe unbelievable amounts of money to everyone! Where do you suppose we get this money!?
I also don't think that the immigrants that are here should be granted citizenship. As citizens of America we are intittled to certain rights. These rights are being payed for by our Federal government such as welfare, SSI and workfare. We aren't doing to grand in that department either. Lets just say that all the people that work for check have to pay about 30% to the federal government for all the funds. What if all of these people became citizens... our government will end up taxing us 50% maybe even more. In order to pay for all of these people. Are you willing to pay 50% from your hard work to pay for some guy who came here, doesn't know the language and instead of having to go out and work munches off the welfare?
I honestly don't think you would.
We are already getting into wars with Iraq.. What do you think that whole thing was about? Well let me tell you it was money. This government is working its hardest and its still not managing. Its easy to say just find the money. Why dont you give a suggestion?

Hey if you think that everyone that looks at you thinks your illegal then that's your personal problem really not anyone else's.
Meh so what if the american's took texas it's how the world works in the past and present. Spain beat the indgenous people in Central America. Then the people took it back. Spain went to Philippines did the same thing but then they get kicked out then the American's tried it and then they get kicked out. Same with most of the other countries. It's how it works those who are willing to fite will keep going.
Can you find jobs that can't work there because of the amount of workers. With an increase in population there will be a decrease in the amount of hours that people work (not a bad thing) but then that gives people less money because they have to pay all the other people to work, which is bad, unless there is a great decrease in prices for everything, which is good. Here comes the bad parts, jobs would be harder to get because of the amount in people that apply for it, a rise of taxes to pay for most things, education, and blah blah blah. Agricultural resources would soon go down because of top soil, prices would escalate, since U.S. makes alot of the food that is sent to other countries the money that comes from import taxes there has to be a balance somewhere. As of right now the U.S. can't do it unless the relations with Canada, Mexico are balanced. U.S. is trying to balance the cost of living in Mexico and other countries so that people won't have to come here for work instead they can stay where they came from.
Hell if you can find a way that makes everyone happy the go for it but can't find a way too bad
oh and here's the site for the amount of people can come into any country

Somehow you managed to score over 1500 posts in 4 months. Got alot of time in your hands don't ya? You stay online so long god knows what you even do with your hands.

No I wouldn't know that you have speech and debate classes simply because no one gives a crap about your life.
Why don’t YOU get a life, instead of “arguing with others over the net”
Who's arguing? Are you arguing? LMAO! OMG, YOU KIDS TAKE EVERY INTERNET THING TO THE HEART. It is time for you to take that "chill pill" you were talking about before. GROW UP! 2 years from now you are going to be thinking "I actually wasted my time debating on a online forum".

Funny thing is that you never answered my question:

i think illegal immigrants should be checked till there is nothing more to check on their backgrounds. I mean the thought of people coming to american and not even being questioned, and living in america and going on with everyday life is pretty screwed up. I mean people should earn the right to be a citizen instead of barging into the country and starting over.
Now on history terms many civilizations were taking over or adapted to the superior countries. The Spanish got mexico and florida, later on the English go into China and start trade, the English go into India and give them technology but anger them by taxing.And the U.S. went to Japan and gave them technology but really didnt try and settle down or take any land.
Basically immigration was taken regularly when Ellis Island and all those places were operating. but as we went on immigration occured less . However it was sorta different after World War II ,and Vietnam. Japanese americans were takening to what the government called" relocation camps" where they were kept because america had a stereotype that all japanese people were spies etc. After Vietnam , many people from South Vietnam fled to america because the communists took over. However when they came many americans had a similiar view on them like the Japanese americans during world war II. People come to america, to escape violence, lack of jobs, or just the freedom in america.

True, immigrants should come here without needing a greencard or any kind of bolony *not to say a badword*. My family came here from Mexico legally. Still even if they were unlegal I still think other should have a chance. We work more! Let me ask you this who's 60 year old grampa works as a mechanic? The war is the one to blame for having less money. While the other rich people bought their matha-trucking cars and stuff, the poor got poorer.

[color=#000000]I'm just going to quote everything I see, just to get into this discussion.
-They'll take up so many jobs that other people might want to have.
but they do it better and for lower wages, which is what a CEO wants. A CEO would rather have someone as an employee being paid less and working harder than an American that is complaining about "Dey tookr' jibs".
-They'll of course start getting homes ( which i dont blame them, they do need a roof over there head.)but other than that what if some immigrant takes the home of what your family always wanted and they just come and they take it, or any other homes ( not by force i mean, paying actually )
Who cares? There are other homes, besides, to live in a home you've always wanted (which is assumed to be a good home), you need lots of money, something illegal immigrants most likely don't have.
- what if they'll cause problems in the community that they will be staying at ? you never know what might happen.
This will always happen with any culture, heck, did you know that White Americans cause the highest crime in terms of paying for damages?
- thats why they have Green Cards.
Where is that laughing smilie?
YEAH! lets just make it easier for them to smuggle even more drugs.
And let blue collar crimes cause much damage so that people have to pay even more, economically, physically, and emotionally or mentally.
btw the pilgrims that settled here came over because their king was forcing his religion on them.
And what happened after they settled in the Americas? They forced their religion on to each other and then we know the rest.
after thats what were all about.....spreading freedom
As free as America likes to advertise itself as, the term is used too friviously. If we were "free", then I can be "free" to steal and so on.
Not only that, but an illegal immigrant is 9/10 times (la times statistic) to be rejected to any job when there is a citizen applicant around.
I believe that is true, but mainly because of they might be "illegal", if they were legeal citizens who would work more for less pay, they would easily get the job. By the way, where did you get that stat from?

--------------
if you come into the country illegally, meaning you jump the border, (when i say jump, i actualy mean swim, jump, run, hide) and start their new lives.
green cards are things you get if you came here illegally, and married a citizen. making you a "Resident".
that is the easiest way to get the green cards, but there are other ways.

When someone wasn't born in the U.S. (so they obviously migrated into the U.S.) and doesn't have any form of a U.S. citizenship and/or a green card. I forgot how you get a green card (I believe it's from the government when you try to file something to the U.S. for citizenship recognition, but a green card tells you that you are a legal U.S. citizen that has came from another country.

ok i think i get it, more similar to canada than i thought.
ok so if your an illegal immigrant can you still get a job, own a home and so on and do you pay taxes?
I think that they way it works whether people want to believe it or not it is like this. If you want a state to protect\govern\allow you to have rights, you have to become a citizen. In essence the state/country and the individual must meet halfway both agreeing on certain terms.
For example: the governemt will enforce law, give you rights, protect those rights and so on, in return the citizen or person wanting to become a citizen must follow the set rules of that society, i think also the individual has to be productive in that society as well.The individual has to have a job pay taxes.
I think what it comes down to is that if the individual and the government don't establish the rules and meet half halfway the individual in essence has no rights or protection and the government losses the productivity that that person can add to the whole.
The question now is this, if the illegal immigrant doesn't meet half way regardless of the reason, should the government uphold any part of its end of the deal?

but does the government really hold it's part? (strickly speeking for america ofcourse)
i mean, we have racist cops running around beating people for their skin color. we have fire fighters who say "if you're black, i wont do my job" (prior to the LA riots), we have judges who are OPENLY RACIST, and only get noted on their record, not fired.
what does the government really give you if you become a citizen? i dont really see any form of "protection" that isnt already offered to everybody.
the only thing i can think of, is you have the opportunity to get a better job. some jobs do require you to be a citizen, but other than that, basically nothign.
(i might be over simplifying, correct me if i'm wrong.)
in many cases, it doesnt matter if you're legal, citizen, or illegal, people are gonna treat you badly. and it isnt because you're a bad person, eigther. sometimes it is because of reasons beyond your control.
now, i'll ask a question:
do you not think it fare for the government to open its doors to immigrants, after doing so much bad things to them?
(killing of indians, stealing of land, wars, ect)

The government provides the backbone infastructure of any nation. From the military to a highway being built. The government in power also has control over how the criminal justice system in the country works.
Think about it like this lets say you have a country and the leader has a militeristic approach.
Based on the idea that military might makes right. So right of the bat you'd have a country with a powerhouse for a military. The societie could also change to values that agree/encourage more military might. By societies values i understand and agree with the fact that not everyone will agree with what this leader is doing, what i mean is that concensus or the majority will be with this leader. The point im trying to make is that the government provides us with physical necessities and protection from people taking advantage of the fact that these physical things are necessities, like a monopoly in a market place. Perhaps even more important is the fact that the government can potentially shape the concensus' opinions to agree with their own giving them the ability to become more militeristic in this case.
For example theres the universal declaration of human rights.(Has to with rights of liberty, life, security of the person, to be free of toture and so on.) In canada if the governent tries to pass any legislation that infringes on any of the human rights the legislation is immediately tossed away by the courts, but thats because parliment has given the courts the power to do this. but when Sadaam was in power he must of forgot to read the universal declaration, the courts were not given the same power, so he could do what ever he wanted.
This above paragraph is full of flaws based on assumptions though, i was only trying to show how a government has the chance to shape the nation.
The government(through a democratic system at least) represent what the concensus value. The laws and services that the government provides are then also reflected by the people. You wouldn't vote for someone whos policies you didnt agree with.
I hope some of this made sense... i prolly goofed it up some where lol.
do you not think it fare for the government to (i think you ment to put a 'not' hear) open its doors to immigrants, after doing so much bad things to them?
(killing of indians, stealing of land, wars, ect)
so im assuming the question is asking "do you think it fare for the goverment to not open its doors to immigrants, after doing so much bad things to them?"
If the government simply says no because of stereotypes or unproven fears then how can anyone say it is fair.
My answer would have to be that as long as both parties agree to the terms there is no reason to not allow anyone into the country(other than an over population issue, which isn;t an issue in america or canada), part of agreeing to the terms would have to be some kind of process to becoming a citizen. I don't know how long it takes to get a green card or become an american citizen.
I also know about a refugee status that people can get but the system is messed up when it comes to refugee status at least in canada. I remember reading about this article a lady from africa came to canada with her kids hoping to be allowed refugee status, she was denied, she made an appeal but im not to sure what happened, though chances are she was sent back. From waht i recall she was fleeing her country because she claimed she was being raped/harrased/totured by soldiers, i also think a soldier murdered her husband, she also claimed that if she returned to her country she would probably be shuned, or stoned.
My parents for example aren't considered to be canadian citizens, they have this card i can't remember what its called but the card must be renewed around every fifth year or so, they aren't illegal so they get some rights but they can't vote in any elections whether it is federal, provincial or municpal. I find it kinda of funny though cause they been here since they were 20 and there like 50 now. They spent most of their life here.
hoped i answered the question to your liking.
This must be my longest post ever

if an illegal immigrant is caught or discovered, he should be pointed in the way so that he can legally become a citizen.

and also i think immigration laws are neccessary or all people would over crowd crowded areas like america because ya we have jobs land space and what not so people are all going to come here or england or any other place with a good economy and living space but i do believe they are to harsh

this is from dictionary.com for a definition of race.
A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.
A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.
A genealogical line; a lineage.
Humans considered as a group.
Biology.
An interbreeding, usually geographically isolated population of organisms differing from other populations of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits. A race that has been given formal taxonomic recognition is known as a subspecies.
A breed or strain, as of domestic animals.
A distinguishing or characteristic quality, such as the flavor of a wine.
immigration laws are a form of population control.

VF, please don't even dare go into the whole "White people are racist" crap when other races have proven themselves to be just as racist...
Furthermore, illegal immigrants don't belong in the U.S. It isn't very hard to go to the government and become a citizen. If you don't do things the right way, then you deserve to be punished for it. When people take a prescription drug without... a prescription, they get punished for it. If you live in America without proper citizenship papers and crap, you should be punished for it. Oh, and about the whole Indian thing... First of all, many people befriended the Indians. Yes, many didn't, but many did as well. I won't lie and say we did the Indians any favors because we didn't. but, in addition, the Indians had no national government. They had tribes, sure, but nothing so concrete that citizenship was required.

There is nothing wrong with people who come and are willing to work the problem is than a portion of them come here and do nothing but before you try to contradic me listen to what I have to say my Dad works with U.S. Customs or now as the idiot in the oval office has assimilated them into The Department of Homeland Security anyway, and he knows the truth, I know the truth, that being that while there are people who immigrate for work there are those that only immigrate over and do nothing as well, but by that same moral they're no different in logic from an american born citisen who is unproductive; what I belive should be done is the creation of a policy that allows people to immigrate on a temperary basis, requiring that they can maintain a steady job and contrubute to society, in which case after a period they can be given full citizenship. On that same note however, for those that wish to immigrate but fail to contibute by any means to contrubute to the country in any way to be deported back to their homw county. I belice if we had something like this in effect the problem of illegal imigration could be resolved if not treated by any means.

All of our communities are on their toes ready to fight and I believe its because of people like you VF. You have managed to turn this whole topic into a racial issue!? You and you alone had the power to stop this. Don't even try to say that others started by mentioning the indians because you were the only one saying black and white.
You know what Virch, if you are so displeased with America... If this country pisses you off this much and you simply hate all of this "racism" and unjust treatment than leave! No one is holding you down with ropes and chains. THAT! Is the beauty of this country! You can do whatever the ### you want!

Why do you think we even have illegal immigrants in this country? HUHH!! If this country is so bad than why is every one trying to come here!? Kiss the ground you walk on! Shut your mouth!

VF, stop being a moron. I said NATIONAL Government. Indians didn't have NATIONAL Governments. Try going to Government class, and if you've taken it or are taking it, listen better next time. Tribes are NOT National Governments. They had local governments similar to what cities/states have now. Illegal Immigration is a NATIONAL Government thing. Furthermore, it is wrong for them to come here and be 'illegal.' Why? You say "and want to do things the right way." 98% of the time (a statistic from psychiatrists, Christian teaching professors, and secular (that means non-Christian) pfoessors) you're doing exactly what it is you want to do. If that means not getting your papers, that's what it means. Thus, they don't want to do things the right way. And, getting papers is a way to keep track of our citizens so that terrorists don't come here and attack us from the inside.

thats a stereotype.

oh, and i fyou like the cheech and chong movies, i strongly suggest you whatch "Born in East LA"
it much relates to this subject, it's about cheech marin who gets caught by the INS, even though he is a citizen. They question him, and when they ask "Who is the president of the united sates?" he replies (the correct answer was ronald raygon) "That guy that was in the movies... the cowboy... uhh... John Wane!"
so, they sent him to mexico, wrongly. he had to work to pay a coyote and meats freinds, a girlfreind, and some OTMs. (long story XD)

Republicans and Democrats both agree that they are bad. They both say the other doesn't do enough to stop it, but they both agree that illegal immigration needs to be stopped. Considering they have professional people who are smarter than both ofus telling them the why's, where's, when's, how's, etc. of why they're bad, they're obviously something America should fight against.
