OP, calm down, man. It's not helpful to walk around with the mindset that you're "willing to start a race war." If you want to do things without disregarding the fact that even illegal immigrants are human beings, start working in the Mayor's office, write your senators, get involved in useful ways that operate within the bounds of local and state laws to enact change. The immigration "problem" is such a large one that your plan to tackle it by having a snarky little one-liner to yell at someone that you don't even know is laughable and stupid.

It's unthinkable, but if the US and Mexico were switched, and Mexico was a land of opportunity for me and my family, I'd risk it all trying to get employment, even if it was under the table, for the sake of my family and my happiness. People are people, at least have some compassion and understanding about why the immigration problem exists before demonizing an entire segment of people.

Good post. That's exactly what I meant when I posted:

Oh, and OP: don't pretend like you wouldn't do the same thing if you were in their situation...

UPDATE:

Signed up for Spanish this fall. For some reason its a 5 credit class. That along with a 4 credit class will make it easier for me to be a full time student in the upcoming semester. I only need one basic 3 credit class now. Probably a humanities.

You want to say either:

Dejame en paz o llamare (don't know how to do accent marks in firefox) la inmigra
(means: Leave me in peace or I will call immigration)

Pare de molestarme o llamare la inmigra
(Stop bothering me or I will call immigration)
