Allan, you just don't like debation, do you? I think that is it completely wrong. If someone illegally crosses the border into the USA than we have to pay higher taxes as working legal citizens while they can get jobs and not pay any. Mexicans (who are most of the illegal immigrants) make up a large amount (and I mean large) of the gang MS-13 (hey, Everyone's A Little Bit Racist Sometimes, ). If anyone doesn't know what that is, just ask. So, I think it is completely wrong and that our government should be doing more to prevent it.

Yes, but do you see them becoming lawyers or government officials? Anything more than a yardworker?

Yes, but do you see them becoming lawyers or government officials? Anything more than a yardworker? Well, you can make the same argument about how "black people" only go to community colleges... It's all kinda racist, actually. I see what you're saying, Keaton. Why let someone into our country if they're not going to contribute as a lawyer or doctor or something? Well think about this... If there weren't any "Mexicans doing yard work" ...who else would do it? Certainly not the lawyers or government officials. *pictures George Bush on a tractor* We need people to do every kind of job. And some Mexicans come here because they make more money in America than they do in Mexico and they send what they make to their families back in Mexico. I have more views on this topic, but I've posted it on the other forum...

Allan, seeing them as government officials is relevant to this subject, as if they were some that would be a contribution to the country.
And is the President of the University illegal, though? I don't have a problem with legal immigrants.
Maria, it's not racist, it's the truth. Why can't the immigrants be legal, though? If they wanna do yardwork, I say "let them", but they should be legal citizens.

I agree, I think that they should be legal, and that it's wrong to be an illegal immigrant. (And I don't want to hear anyone say, "Well it serves America right! We're awful!" because I will take you down.) But I think that there are different ways that are easier and fairer than our current immigration process. You'll learn all of the things you need to do to become a citizen if you take any civics course. It's not a very easy process. *decides against posting opinion* Wow... Why would you post about not posting? ...Does that cancel out your post? ...Maybe I didn't really read anything that you posted then

*decides against posting opinion* I hate it when you people do this. If you don't have anything to say, don't say anything at all. ANYWAY, The immigration process is so freaking convoluted and takes like thirteen years to go through. It needs to be revised, then there won't be as much illegal immigration. People in Mexico just want a better life. *didn't read most of the posts. heh.*

Unless your decision to not post is proving a point in the debate, don't post that you're not going to post. Anyway, I guess I'm sort of for granting amnesty to all of the immigrants here now and making the immigration process easier. Yeah.
