I sort of have no problem with illegal immigrants as long as they learn our language and respect our rules.
I have no problem with people who illegally steal tax payer confiscated money to pay for them? really? I do!
Let them educate their own children in their own country to start and save us tax money. Along with medical and schools that they illegally use.
What do people not understand what illegal means? Shall we just release all child molesters if the POTUS decides to not prosecute them also? I still believe it this goes back to NAFTA and CAFTA. Bush didn't help either. No other country in the world does this? Why?

Well you're running on several fallacies there, most high, is the term illegal. Fact is, laws can be flawed. 200 years ago your same argument would be used to keep black people down.
So yea, get off your high horse. We all know what illegal means. And a lot of us don't really care. The best governments are the ones that know that laws are just advise to follow. I've no problem breaking a few laws to save a life or improve another.
Fact is, laws are only as effective as people choose to follow them. There's plenty of laws in this country that are not followed at all but still stand. They've just run into disuse.
Although that maybe true...well it is true...to force people to pay for someone's education who is not currently contributing to our tax system is wrong Gorman...it's just not right and I'm not the only one who feels this way. I am one of the most giving people around and I like many others have no problem helping others whether they're illegal or not, but for the state of California to force its citizens to such treason is just unspeakable and unfair.
That is what my argument is. There are thousands of private organizations that give money to illegal students every year for higher education and if a person chooses to donate their money to such a cause, is their right. I don't see why the rest of us are being labelled as ignorant because we do not want to be forced to pay for something we do not agree with. We're not able to even vote on this!!!!!

It was a continuation to my previous post as well. If they have bad grades, then they're out. And if they're on our tax code, they're living under our house, and therefore our rules. And I say we should use them as an asset. be it the change of their country to one more of our liking, or the addition to our own country in ways we like it.
They're getting cash from us, so we should be able to use them as assets in the world.
The Ottomans did something like this of sorts. The Devşirme system enabled them to request either by peaceful or forceful means to select skilled Christians in their empire and essentially enslave them to be their leaders and top executives. It would be like enslaving a Mexican and training him to be the president of the US, and then letting him do just that.
Obviously the system itself is archaic, but the idea is solid. We select the illegals whom have skills, we tell them they either do what we say or leave, and we use their skills to change their country or benefit ours.
I've grown pretty tired of people like you on this site, where you need a url to substantiate what one says.

Well yes in theory it is slavery. But so is any form of imprisonment if you think breaking the law and having a punishment is.
Ah yes that makes me sound like a hypocrite I admit, but so be it. To me it's fair use of the situation. Deport them? Imprison them? Or use them? Well I favor using them.
And hell, if they do decide to leave and try to come back, so be it. Jail them. Because at that point, yes, they are slaves. Make them do work and earn their so-called entitlement to be here. Have mercy the first time, the second them, their rights are gone.edit on 5-9-2011 by Gorman91 because: (no reason given)

We need to bring our troops home now. Troops would take care of this stuff easily? You guys remember Operation Wetback under Eisenhower in the 1950s. Research it up.

For me, This is the Kicker as my husband says.
I understand that even though the California Dream Act gives illegal immigrants an Education, but because their immigration status will not change after graduating from college, they will remain unable to find legal employment.
Now correct me here if I'm Wrong, But how do you contribute back to the State of California or America if You can not work Legally and Pay Taxes, Legally.
Here are the States I found that bar illegal immigrants from in-state tuition benefits. Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, South Carolina and Indiana.
Now as my husband just said, Round Up The Employers and Put Them In Prison, Not Jail, But Prison and Let Their New Cell Buddy Show Them How The Showering System Works ( husband had to explain to me )
Employers of illegals should lose Every Thing! I Mean Every Thing!edit on 5-9-2011 by guohua because: spelling
Boasting a population that is 97% Hispanic, more than half foreign born, and 40% illegal, the Los Angeles County, Calif., incorporated city of Maywood has achieved the Reconquista goal. It is now as lawless and chaotic as any place in Mexico. Maywood is a warning to every city and town in America.
The Maywood City Council announced this week that after years of radical policies, corruption and scandal, the city was broke and all city employees would be laid off and essential city services contracted out to neighboring cities or to L.A. County government.
Maywood was the first California city with an elected Hispanic City Council, one of the first "sanctuary" cities for illegal aliens, the first city to pass a resolution calling for a boycott of Arizona after that state passed a law to enforce federal immigration laws, the first California city to order its police department not to enforce state laws requiring drivers to have licenses to drive, the first American city to call on Congress to grant amnesty to all illegals.
Council meetings were conducted in Spanish. Maywood was the leader in the peaceful, democratic achievement of the La Raza goal to take power in the U.S.

Sen. Ron Calderon (D-Montebello) said the state should not stand in the way of students who graduate from high school in California with grades good enough to get into college. "It’s about supporting those who work hard, play by the rules and want to improve their standard of living," Calderon said during a floor debate before the 26-11 party-line vote. "Their accomplishment should not be disregarded or their future jeopardized because of their legal status."[
