You can't be more a citizen of the US then someone else you either are or you are not.

7,000-10,000 is not a lot when you consider over 35 million lations living in the counrty.

Who said they shouldn't be heard? (CWalker dosen't count)

But that's a Latino thing that we have to deal with ourselves, and not have whites and the US interfer.

I guess you took what I said too literally. They do alot for the country economically, agriculturally, and participate in the military. Especially in agriculture which is vital. So I think that makes them as important to the United States as any citizen. Sure 7,000 may not be much, but would you immigrate to Mexico and participate in their military if they went to war?

--- End quote ---
well what about someone like me who has an illegal immigrant using my SS#
I had to go through shit just to "try" to get it cleared up, which you can't, and I've lost job opurtunities
this isn't about being racist or relevant to race itself, I don't think people who are explaining the problems of this situation on this forum even really care which races are involved when it comes down to it
to me it has nothing to do with whatever race you are, it's just the principle of how things work
And even if those people are nice just trying to make a living, I understand that, but it really creates problems when stuff is done illegally in that manner
yeah people bring up the good of illegal immigrants taking bad jobs, etc. but overall I think it creates more problems than it does good, obviously if it didn't create problems, we wouldn't be talking about this
--- End quote ---
Everyone knows about that issue though. It's one the most common points used against illegal immigration. Anything I've broughten up is to disprove some points people are making. Like I said earlier, it's too difficult to paint the perfect scenario.
--- End quote ---
it doesn't matter though, that's like sayin "aww, who cares"
I care, lots of people care, I'm sure you'd care if it happened to you.... matter of fact it could easily happen to you, so when it does, let me know how ya feel.... especially when it makes it even tougher to make a living and get a job
Javier:
You're not understand what I'm saying. I know the issues, I'm against them as well. I'm basically on your page, but I'm realistic here. The proposed bill isn't going to fix a god damn thing. The provisions to the bill are a step in the right direction, but they need a whole new approach to it.
