I have to agree with a few of you. I'm not against immigration, but I AM against illegal immigration.

Sorry, I just don't buy into the fact that these people should be living here without a care, when the average joe is paying thosands of dollars in taxes, the legal way. Here's my opinion..

Round up all the illegals, and offer them cititzenship (with all the usual paperwork and costs). If they decline, back to mexico they go. If I have to pay taxes, so do they.. the laws are in place for a reason, and seeing these jackasses marching in the street about "illegal immigrant pride", waving mexican flags.. only urks me since the government does nothing to stop it. First off, it's one thing if they're here and are "proud to be in America". It's entirely different when they're literally just USING this country to send cash back to Mexico, whilst waving Mexican flags in the US *AND* not learning the langauge.

The problem is that there isn't enough of a deterrant to people crossing illegally. They get caught, they go back.. and then they try again. "Border Security" should be more of a "If we catch you doing it, you better hope that tunic is made of kevlar" thing.

Want to live here? Fine.. just:
*Learn to speak at least basic English
*Come here the LEGAL way. That means paying taxes like the rest of us.
*Spend your money in the US, *do not* send it to Mexico. (Unless here legally, and even then.. that's pretty bad for the country as a whole).
*Feel free to wave a mexican flag, so long as it's beside the American flag.
*This isn't Mexico. Abide by our rules, and leave your 'ghetto' ideals behind. Not sure about you folks, but a few towns over is a heavily illegal-infested area, and at least two times a week there's a gang-related shooting going on. The suspects are almost always illegals.

The US isn't the fix to Mexico's problems. Mexico needs to do that, itself.. and surely not by sending over its entire population to work here.
