And my Great-Grandparents came to this Country from Europe during WWII, but the did so LEGALLY. No one here is against immigration. We all came from somewhere else. Don't confuse anti-illegal-immigration with anti-immigration. Come to this county legally, follow the rules, learn the culture, learn the language. When people come here illegally and fail to do all those things, it just cheapens all the hard work legal immigrants put into getting here. It's not fair to them, or to any of us. this is not about legal or illegal immigrants. of course you should come here legally. this is about accusing people of being illegals when you don't know. no one said they should not learn english, yaddayaddayadda. this is not something learned overnight. i learned english at school, because i could not learn it at home. my parents learned english over time, not overnight. be a little more generous. I'm trying.....

That blonde haired blue eyed girl that served me my food at Hardee's must have been from Honduras.

That blonde haired blue eyed girl that served me my food at Hardee's must have been from Honduras. Not very likely. Better bet would be Russia, one of the former Soviet Republics, Canada, Iceland, UK, France, or Denmark. But you never know, could also have been from the US.

Bush should of shut d,own the borders as soon as 9-11 happened and was wrong for not doing so. In 2006 Obama voted for the funding to complete the border fence, now in 2009 the Obama admin stop the work on the barrier. Budget cuts?

Immigration, was and still is a very sticky subject, and I am sure one of the more difficult things to be addressed. It will take a concerted effort, and an intelligent approach to get this one taken care of.

Immigrants wouldn't be here if there wasn't' opportunity. You can bet they would be happy to go home if they could find a job and support their families. These are the guys who do the crappy work. Wonder why? Nobody wants to work in a chicken plant, out in the heat, or flip burgers anymore. When I was a kid, we were d**n glad to get almost any kind of job and worked in some pretty rough conditions. Americans today are above all that and would rather sit on their lazy tails while their women support them than do hard work. The immigrants aren't working for $5 an hour. They make their money. Problem is they don't pay the taxes they should due to lax employers and false paperwork. Go after the employers. The painting guy in Annapolis found out that employing illegals is not a good strategy, it cost him a bunch. Problem is, they didn't lock him up. I don't blame the guys doing the work one bit, they are trying to provide for their own. Problem is the employer. Make them do it right. That will open up jobs for the lazy. Oops, now we are back to the same problem. The immigrants do the crap jobs, I have yet to see one that had a job that somebody really wanted. Another issue on top of them not paying taxes is the fact that the majority of the money they make gets sent back to their home country; not put into our economy. Mexico's biggest source of income is money sent back from the USA. That is a scary subject in itself.
