It’s a big problem, for the reasons I’ve explained above. I fail to see how millions of criminals flooding into anyone’s country and receiving lots of free benefits for it could be considered a small issue.
When you can boil this all down to simply labeling the Immigration issue as "A bunch of criminals receiving lots of benefits". I can't continue to speak rationally to someone who can see things in such a "Black And White" way. It is the most, No i take that back, ALMOST the most irrational understanding of a very complex situation I have heard. With the exception to Night Stars mindless drivel. I think I'm done with this thread.

Hmm, if you're in the country without the proper authorization, paperwork, you're considered a criminal.
Here illegally? You're stealing. You're not paying taxes, you're getting free health care on the American taxpayer and your kids are getting a free education on the American taxpayer.

Look, I'm not going to explain basic simple concept to you too like I have these guys. In order to be a criminal you have to have a conviction. God, what has happend to our education system today? It's a shame indeed.
As far as to the rest of your useless statement. Start at page 1. You couldn't be farther from the truth. You cannot GENERALIZE a whole people with those stupid statements! Lol. I'd love to see a immigrationpolicy under you Night star, and Lone cloud. It would be worse than it is now... Hehedit on 11/24/1212 by foodstamp because: (no reason given)

You come here illegally, work here and are paid in cash and pay no taxes. You are a thief.
You are here illegally and you get treatment at the local ER. The bill is picked up by the American taxpayer. You are a thief.
You are here illegally with your children and they go to the local school and you're not paying taxes. You are a thief.

Well I think if I were racist against mexicans I never would have went to mexican weddings and baby showers for my former co-workers. I could have turned them in and I never did.

I don't know. I don't care where they're from. I want them OUT.
None of this amnesty/equal rights BS. They not entitled to that. They are NOT CITIZENS.

Extrapolate what? That's not the word you're looking for.
What exactly do you want me to say? I'm happy that as an American taxpayer my tit is being sucked dry by people who aren't even citizens of this country?
I should be happy that a bunch of ungrateful SOB's take my money and still complain they don't have equal rights and legal representation in a country of which they are not even citizens?
Are you #ing crazy or just extremely dense?

No, when someone like yourself is adament about a certain point of view, in this case, Anti-Illegal immigration, and hides it when in the presence of illegal Mexican immigrants. It's usually called cowardice.
But I won't go that far. I'd like to think that maybe instead of cowardice. You deep down believed that these people you knew/know. Were in fact, good working, struggling poor people that were caught up in the same rat race as you.
Otherwise, It'd be pretty hypocritical to be going to the weddings of ID defrauders and Illegal "welfare" leeches. Correct?
