So I guess you're one of those whose happy to comply with any law, no matter how screw up it can be, even if you're from one of those nations (like america) well known to approve laws from time to time which make it legal to violate certain basic human rights. Good to know!
You'd be pretty badly mistaken to assume something like that. However, I don't fight against every law just because it is one, either. There needs to be a balance, I believe. Some laws are always going to represent the extreme....but this isn't among them.

I'm one of those who grew up in the cess pool they called Orange County in the 80's and 90's. I've been back to the old neighborhood a couple times since to see even the ghetto looks "California Chic" these days. That state's nightmares are largely due to the outright wild and out of control mandatory support of illegals who often remit their money home rather than keep it in the American economy.

That giant sucking sound from the West is California's state budget running down the crapper...as it has been for a number of years.That national remittance happens at the rate of 100's of billions of dollars, and just one solid economic reason I cannot tolerate criminal immigrants of any type. In fact, I've helped deport more than one by turning their sorry butts in. Personally.
I don't just believe it's wrong, I live the belief to deed, within the law.

I read a comment on here in which someone (I don't care to remember who) brought up the point that they are no longer just taking menial jobs. I guess it was ok with you then, when they were working in the orchards or fields, roofing your house. But BY GOD if they are going to take your factory jobs!

Arrest people for WORKING.
That's awesome. Hey, let's arrest Americans for NOT working - then they would go and do the work that "hispanics" are currently doing... then the "hispanics" would have no reason to come here.
That's what's so funny to me. People say there aren't jobs but millions - MILLIONS of people sneak here to work those jobs. They live together, ride bikes miles to go work like dogs, then ride miles BACK afterwards until they can get money to buy a ride.
Then they carpool to various worksites and continue to save money - all for the collective. They shop at our stores, eat at our restaurants all by doing the work that others are too proud, too lazy, or too soft to do.
Yes they do get access to services they might not pay for - but I would wager they would all line up to pay taxes if exchange for citizenship. The problem isn't that they don't want it, the problem is that it is unattainable under the current bureaucracy.
The speaking English argument is BS. Say you want to go work in China. I say China because Chinese is probably the hardest language to learn outside of English. What would you do, wait the 7 years it would take to become fluent before you took that job OR go immerse yourself in the culture (which BTW any instructor will tell you is the BEST way to learn) and get that job? What if you had family depending on that job?
You're a liar if you say you wouldn't jump in and fake it until you make it. Do you understand the solid brass ones it takes to do something like that?
I for one would rather deport those "Americans" sitting on their tails collecting taxpayer money while texting on their iPhones, drinking, having babies and complaining about how bad they have it.
Of the two groups, which is the more American?
Shut up.
What would happen to me if I were caught working in MEXICO with no papers? Why is it okay for them?
even if.. Now that America is over ran with people I NEVER wanted to share MY country with. I refuse to fight to make it better.. WHY? so THEY can have a better life? Then MORE will come.
I DO NOT WANY ANY THIRD WORLDERS WITHIN A HUNDRED MILE RADIUS!!! they BRING THE THIRD WORLD!!

Because people here legally have screwed the system, it's ok to add more to the list?? Yes the employers are indeed to blame and so is the government for allowing the employers to get away with it.
I respect you phage and feel bad arguing. But to each his/her own I suppose.

You would be amazed by how many "illegals" I have met in Oregon that drive Escalades and the like. They are pretty open about their status here since it's a sanctuary state. Most pretend to not even speak English but their children will tell you they do. I didn't have an opinion one way or another until I moved here and the ones I have met are very rude and act like you aren't even there. I won't even tell you what a social worker here told me about them and getting money for extra children...it would make her head spin.

Why would you want the jobs illegals are getting? Why would their minimum wage earnings offend you? Did you go to college to major in business?(lol) Why would you want to subject yourself to working all your youth away to end up losing your 401k & pensions like that of which is happening to some people right now? What Native American tribe are you from? They terk yer jerb?!

It isn't just the illegals, its ALL THE ANCHOR BABIES too!
And the jobs were desirable before the invaders came in willing to work for NOTHING because they are ILLEGAL and the woman can get EVERY BENEFIT there is.. THAT is HOW the illegal does it..
SICKENING...
SOMEONE can steal and RUIN your livelihood, nation, culture, schools, living wage payscale, etc.. that is your life.
When ones livelihood and family are threatened... then what?
If I had a garden could you just take the crops from me because you needed a better life?, could you section off part of my farm as your own and then to add insult to injury COMPETE with me at selling MY CROPS!?
Americans built AMERICA for THEIR OWN OFFSPRING... AMERICANS...
NOT FOR EVERYONE ELSE!!! that is theft!
