immigration

Why Is This Idea Important?: I am for immigration to the U.S., but I see in my area of the country many young girls who are here illegally, just to give birth. Since, babies are automatically given citizenship here, we are actually causing a problem where parents and children can be split up, by sending the parents home. Also, we are burdening our health care system, since illegal immigrants usually don't have insurance. I think this change to our laws would discourage those who come here just so their child can be a U.S. citizen. This should not be a right to those who are illegal. They have already broken the law.

Babies born to non-US citizens should not be given automatic citizenship. This made sense when slavery was first abolished. Now many come to the U.S. illegally just to have their babies.

    Thats right....In Chicago 70% of the city is here illegaly from latin countries having kids here and being allowed to stay...Except when groups are trying wins sympathy from the public by, taking one or two single parents( usually whos fathers have left,are still in the states also illegally).These people (THE PARENTS)raise their kids that because of their nationality, they should speak the parents native tongue and, act like they do in the parents native country..........You have half of the city of Chciago waving Mexican flags not American, you also are told in the Chcaigo schools .even if your child is hispanic and cant speak the spanish language that .......your child has to learn spanish becuse heor she is latin...They (school officials) dont believe that a child who is American with some or all latin nationality should be taught in ENGLISH....You are right....I cant tell you how many of my neighbors were doing just that...Not here legally but, having one baby after another to so they could stay....I hear its worse in Caiforina...

    BABIES BORN TO NON-US CITIZENS SHOULD BECOME U.S. CITIZENS JUST LIKE THEIR NON-U.S. PARENTS SHOULD BECOME U.S. CITIZEN IF THEY WANT TO STAY IN THE U.S.A.

    = NO TO AMNESTY =

    To president BHO, and the 111th congress:

    I am a "citizen" of the United States of America. Our nation is a kaleidoscope of ancestries. Mine is spanish.

    I am honored to have roots here, but it is irrelevent to my citizenry. I am an American first and foremost.

    I've learned, from watching the Democrat sympathizers, empathizers, and even judges, how to use my ethnic background to my advantage.

    It Is wrong, and offensive, for our government to apply "Affirmative Action"; especially in the 21st century.

    Martin Luther King, Jr once said: judge a person by "the content of their character...".

    Using racial conflict is a strategy the government uses as a strong-hold on a population in a government created crisis. It also works as a diversion from the pulbic focusing from "any other" important issue.

    Amnesty serves no humane purpose whatsoever. It serves only the government's agenda of turmoil, ballot manipulation, and population oppression by controlling, and manipulating the people's need for the most basic of human needs: food, shelter, and healthcare.

    The American Citizen should be the focus, and the sole beneficiaries of "any government programs". Doing otherwise is not only malicious negligence against the American citizens that are either taxpayers; or disabled; or both.

    Stop insulting the intelligence of the American People; and stop using the illegal population as pawns in your agenda.

    If they have permission to come and stay here....

    The problem is that, they not only dont want to learn our language ,laws and, ways.They are buying the citizenships and, the tests they need( from immigration officials) to get citizenship and NO, the kids born to nationals from other countries should be legal citizens of that country.......I have Cherokee/Pawnee and several

    nationalities in my line and my kids have 1/2 spanish blood...Do you undestand what I am saying? THEY ARE AMERICANS WITH MIIXED BLOOD...They do not carry flags around showing allegiences to another country......They do not speak spanish....They have been on the receiving end of real discrimination (like my granny before and after she left the reservation) and, they still see whats happening....with immigration and this administration....When my other grsndparets came here to this country from Europe.They had to learn the language and the laws of this land...THEY had nothing in any of the 8- eight( yes thats right 8 ) languages that they spoke to help them get by...No signs ...No interpreters...No help ...They were on their own....This is a problem that can be fixed before people start deciding if 'THEY WANT TO STAY" ...The corruption in the sysytem has to be cleaned up.....

    Why should the USA support anyone that comes ILLEGALLY!!

    To have a child so WE THE TAXPAYER will have to support Children of ILLEGALS. This makes no sense.. We should be MORE worried about OUR Children,than ANYONE elses.

    There is no telling how much money is spent on this. Free Food,Housing,Health Care. ENOUGH!! We need to start taking care of Our Own.

  6. Stopping or slowing immigration is not a real solution to anything.

    Sure it reduces population growth and specifically growth of bad foriegn behavior, but it is never the solution.

    Immigration is one thing. Illegal Immigration is another.

    If you want to be a Citizen of The United States. You should have to show you have the resources to provide for your Family. Not rely on The U.S. Taxpayer to support you.

    We can't keep taking care of everyone.

  9. Oh. Well the real solution is not to benefit new immigrants more than past immigrants.

    Advantages that would need to go away:

    *False Exchange Rates

    *Emergency Health Care

    *Affirmative Action

    *Free Education

    *Multi Language Forms

    *Many more discrimating activities

    Virtually all of it changed by reducing government. False exchange rates can be changed by our government by using PPP (Price Per Parity) to set exchange rates or buying up assets in the cheating countries including Mexico, China, India, Russia, and others.

    I know this doesn't solve the illegal immigration problem, but it is one change we can make to help. The entire problem is so big it needs to be broken into manageable pieces we can all live with.

    WHAT!!!!! "Most illegal immigrants have a mental problem" are you kidding me??? That stereotyped comment can be made about any race, gender or culture. FACT IS: The U.S.A. has an immigration problem due to our borders not being secured and complete disregard & violation to our immigration laws by illegals, government & law enforcement. Our government, mostly the Democrat Party has been using & exploiting illegals for over a decade for their votes - illegal votes thanks to ACORN's massive voter fraud. Every sanctuary city in this nation is governed by a Democrat body of government. Sanctuary cities violate our immigration laws therefore are unAmerican and illegal. THIS UNLAWFUL PRACTICE HAS GOT TO STOP NOW AS WELL AS REFUSING TO OBEY THE IMMIGRATION LAWS ENACTED BY CONGRESS. SPEAKER PELOSI NEEDS TO RESIGN OR BE FIRED FOR HER INSUBORDINATION AND UNLAWFUL INCITING THE IGNORING AND/OR REFUSAL TO OBEY THE IMMIGRATION LAWS ENACTED IN CONGRESS AND FOR VIOLATING HER SWORN OATH TO UPHOLD OUR CONSTITUTION AND OBEY OUR LAWS.
