Illegal Immigration, is there anyone pro-amnesty? |

With the recent Kennedy-Bush alliance (polar opposites at that) for the naturalization of illegal immigrants, a lot of people have come out strongly opposed to the idea and are quite unhappy that bush just brought it back up after the idea was killed.
Is there anyone out there that thinks it should be something that happens? If yes, please explain as I'm curious to see if there is another side (other than the politicians) to this issue and I want to know what makes you see it that way or where your opinions are derived from. Keeping in mind taxes, social security (haha as if that's going to last), unemployment, and them taking advantage of what's free in the nation (i.e. medicine/education) without putting back into the system. |

Well, I consider myself more of a liberal, but it seems like I'm siding more with the conservatives on this. I'm totally against giving them amnesty. We'd just be rewarding them for breaking the law. It's not like the only way a person can enter this country is illegally - the ones that are here had the opportunity to come here the right way. It'd be like a slap in the face just handing them citizenship to the people who entered this country legally. What about back taxes? They shouldnt be able to escape from that.
So if we actually do end up giving all these illegals amnesty, they'll all end up getting social security - something they havent even been paying into. And we all know that it probably wont even be there for our generation already. And then what about welfare and other services? Most of the Mexican adults here in Florida dont even speak enough English to get a decent job - so my guess most of them would easily qualify for welfare and food stamps. And they're taking American's jobs, seriously. The illegals dont just pick produce anymore. Most of them have moved up to roofing and construction. According to my parents, when they were kids - you saw AMERICANS building homes, and doing roofs. But when companies can pay illegals such low pay, and dont have to give them insurance - why would they hire an American? Everytime I drive past a new subdivision being built or see someone getting a new roof, all of the workers are illegal Mexicans. Oh, and they're doing landscaping too. I have an uncle who's a general contractor, and a cousin who is a head guy for a lawn service - they admit to having nothing but illegals working under them because they can do the work so cheaply. [/rambling] Please dont get me wrong or anything, I'm definitely not racist. I just cant stand the idea of seeing them being rewarded for breaking the law, and then having to take care of them. We need to build a huge 20 foot concrete wall across the ENTIRE border, and arm guards with machine guns. That'll stop them from sneaking in. ![]() |
