Oh, and dont forget that unless you are a native american, you too are an immigrant. And most of our families havent been here more than 300 years, not that long compared to how long Natives were here before we invaded.

What a load. The pro illegal-alien crowd always confuses illegal immigration with legal immigration.
Look, businesses love to hire illegal aliens. They work hard and are cheap to hire. But there is a cost. Who do you think will bear the burden of making up the difference between what they get paid and their cost of living? The taxpayers, that's who. Not the damn greedy businessmen that pocket the extra profits and could care less about their country.
Another problem is the so called "anchor babies". Hell, even in socialist Canada they no longer allow automatic citizenship just because they are born in Canada.
Why don't you tell everyone on this forum why their children should have to compete with illegal aliens and their children for scholarships and jobs. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
BS. Who besides them has the trade skills for construction? We let it get this bad and turned the other cheek while we forgot how to build. Basically we tought these people the trades and didn't pass the skills on to ourselves. We need their skill in construction wheter you or I like it or not.
Giving me the label of pro Illegal is BS. I know what is out there right now and comment on the facts. If whites or blacks, whoever were still tradesmen, the demand wouldn't have been there for them to come. As our soicety educates ourselves, we dont want to do the grunt work our forefathers did. Its the same situation when the Itallians, Irish, etc came to Ellis Isle. What work did they do? The crap work that the Americans didnt want to do. They were thought of as second class citizens and now have assimilated. Same thing will happen with the Mexicans whether you or I like it or not. Supply and demand like I said earlier no pro illeal garbage. If you want to buy a house, but you want it built by americans, you better add at least 50% to the labor price tag, and it wont appraise for a cent more than one built by illegals. Oh, its solely the businessman's fault, BS the cosumer demand, lack of skilled labor, lack of govenrment intervention early on
and the businessmans quest to bring down cost is what created this issue. Pointing fingers is what everyone likes to do. I'll take my share of the blame, will you? Or did you have absolutley nothing to do with it? If your dishes are washed, house built, food cooked, repairs done, hummer washed, etc, all by americans, then you are not to blame, but if you have had illegals do work for you, your just as guilty as the rest.
I would like to know the total number of cases of TB that will give a better picture of how small a threat it is. While it is a concern, TB pales in comparison to border security issues and tax dollars we spend on illegals.
We need to document them, slow their influx, and get them paying taxes.
This is my opinion and not intended to offend or start any name calling. I am all for hearing all sides of an argument and am not so thick skulled to where I won't change my mind on a given topic, but this one will be tough to convince me otherwise.
