Alright, which gutless bastard voted yes? Let me get this straight, I am paying taxes. On top of that, my siblings and I are pitching in to pay for our younger brother's tuition out of our own pocket. What right do these illegal immigrants demand money from the government who they don't pay taxes to?

Wait a second. It's a known fact that there were hundreds of illegal immigrants standing in one place? Why weren't they immediately thrown in cattle trucks and hauled off?

Sounds insanely messed up to me, I hate to say it but these imagrants are becoming moochers. Filling up the job market, filling up the public school's with 5+ children per family. The ghetto part of the bay area (Canal) has about 8 to 10 people to a 2 bedroom apartment(read this in the local newspaper), gang fight's and tons of drunk driving accidents. The west coast is becoming Mexico I swear, there's a frikin Taco shop on like every city block. In the school I went to, whites were the minority taking up just over 19% of the school attendance, 5% were black and other(other being every other race known to man), and 76% were Latino/Hispanic. Why dont other countries just follow in American footsteps as far as Government goes? I think America has shown that it's willing to help in such area's, has it not?

They would become a better citizen; able to critically think when it comes to the issues of elections and ballot measures, and hopefully receive the chance(if they haven't had it already) of doing community work though a Humanities class. They would be more skilled, and as a person, they would be able to bring more to the GNP than someone less educated(and, in reverse, they as a person would have a higher standard of living than someone less educated; this leads to stability). They would also help ease the population crunch, as statistics say that for the most part, the more educated you are, the fewer children you have. Lastly, they would become more "Americanized;" they would be exposed to the College life, away from their hereditary roots in many cases, and acquire more of what are considered "traditional" ideals than someone not given complete exposure to the college life.
So, for these reasons, how can you say no to not giving someone access to more education?

Am I missing something?
The vast sense of entitlement taught in public schools obviously.
But I go to public school! Ah just get green cards.

I've said it before, and I will say it again, Mexicans will be the downfall of this country in the long run. At their current birthrate in the U.S., which is higher than any other race by far, and the constant flow of illegals, within the next 30-50 years they will bankrupt this nation. The sad part is, no one seems to care or is to"politically correct" to do or say much of anything. I live in San Diego and there are constant new stories of pregnant mexican women on the mexican side waiting till their water breaks and then running over the border to give birth on the U.S. side so she can suck off U.S. welfare for her and her child. A few weeks ago, several americans were killed when a group of illegals snuck across the border and were loaded onto a truck that drove the wrong way down the freeway in the dead of night to avoid border patrol check points. While there are many hardworking Mexicans in our country, there are equally as many that are sucking billions of dollars of mine and your tax dollars. For those of you who argue that it is immigration that built this country, I tell you to look where most of the immigrants came from in the early 1900's during the boom years for immigration.They were largely people from Europe who are capable of civilization on par with that of the U.S. Eastern Europe, Germany, Italy etc. were the starting point for many of the immigrants that came and contributed to our nations growth. Take a look at where todays immigrants are coming from. Cuba, Mexico, South America, Nigeria etc. These places are for the most part $hit holes. That reflects on its people, and now that is what is coming to America. Just wait till they get organized enough to vote, as they are starting to already. They will put people in congress that will favor them more and more. Just look at Miami. Get ready to spend more and more of your tax money supporting them.

Did'nt they say the same thing about Italian and Irish immigrants back when the country was perdominatly English. And the same arguements about Ireland and Italy being $hitholes. I don't care where they come from and ALL of the legal or illegal hispanics I know are great people my church is about 50% hispanic (when i used to go ) and all are married responsible hardworking parents who give back to thier communities. And I don't care if here legal or not I still like thier food, BBQ's and hardwork. And I know if I lived in Mexico and was poor like 99% are I would be the first one jumping over the border looking for a better life for me and mine.. And so would you.
I think it's the 2nd and third generation that are getting into gang banging etc just like many other immigrants the first generation works their asses of and the second takes advantage. I know Im lazy as hell compared to my parents who are immigrants.
The premise is all wrong IMO. The borders should be wide open to any one who can get here that's what made this country it's freedom and freedom of movement, and you can always move to Agora Hills, Dana Point or some similar all white place if you don't like being around hispanics.

Wasn't the West Coast Mexico's to begin with?![]()
I voted 'No' not because I hate the 'foreigners' like most of you seem to, but because there isn't enough money to educate all the citizens and legal immigrants in the first place.
And inspite of being a legal immigrant I swear to God I hope I never have to depend on your govt. handouts - you can have all the alms you want from your govt. :disgust:
