Please educate these people who are so ignorant. If someone has a dream of living and working in the US, is it as simple as filling out a form, packing their bags and hoping on a boat, bus or plane and arriving here legally? Perhaps paying a small fee? Not even close. Why is it that DOCTORS from foreign countries are here? The have money, higher education and a job in high demand. What do the illegals have? No money, no education, and a a willingness to work jobs that are in high demand. Let them have their peace and let them be legal like the rich immigrants.

Allowing illegal immigrants to come and work will open the floodgates for all sorts of problems from job loss of hard working Americans, more drugs, depletion of our public assistance programs, and treason. The US is not some giant Santa Claus handing out free gifts. If you expect legal rights doesn’t it make sense to become a citizen legally.

Then they have the nerve to fly their flags everywhere and demand the National Anthem in Spanish. If your country was so great then why don’t you go back. You don’t see the French coming over here and demanding the National Anthem in French or asking for billboards and labels in Spanish. And lets look at other immigrants from Europe and India. They usually become citizens thru the legal process which is apparent by the nationality of the protesters, and have something more to offer to this country then being a leech on our society and our economy. For instance pull up your provider list on your health insurance, I bet you will find more then half the Dr’s listed are from India

First of all these people are here illegally what rights do they have. If you want rights, and the right to work go thru the citizenship process like all the previous generations have. Lets look at things on the whole the difference between say Latin American Immigrants and European, Eastern such as immigrants from India. And of course there are exceptions but this is a generalization; what do they have to offer but cheap labor which takes jobs away from legal Americans, gangs, smuggled drugs and abuse of our public assistance programs which us the taxpayers pay for. Do illegal immigrants pay taxes I think not then most of the money they make is sent back to Mexico or where ever. continued in next comment box
