There are plenty of foreign workers waiting in line for a chance to come here to work legally. I don't believe we will have a shortage any time soon.
Legal immigrants are usually educated, vaccinated, insured, and can learn to speak English. They also get better paying jobs and pay more in taxes than illegal Mexican Nationals.

Almost half of all legal immigrants come from Mexico! I think America has done it's part to feed the Mexico poor, It's time for Mexico to step up for their own and quit crying about what is Mexico's own responsibility. If Mexicans leave and don't come back there are millions of poorer people who speak English all over the world to replace them.

At first I thought this post was a joke or a parody. But these days you never know. I hope it was a joke.

Mr. Vizcarra:
Mexico has done everything it can to create
al Mexican Nation within our borders through
illegal immigration! Legal immigrants are welcome
to become U.S. citizens and hold their loyalty
to the USA but we all know now that you think
you can game and abuse the 14th amendment,
collaborate with criminal employers and cry a
river of crocodile tears that we need your
uneducated workers so that Mexico( a failed country)
can have a safety valve. The real heroes are the
mestizos marching in Chiapas not the illegals
waving Mexican flags in L.A., Chicago and Phoenix!

The United States will always attract immigrants because it offers more opportunities for personal success with it's system of free enterprise than any other country. This may not be the case in the future as left wing politics gradually erodes the system that made America great. We need legal immigration and assimilation with educated people making up the bulk to make up for the failure to ecucate our own.

I just hope they continue to leave but I doubt it.
There was a calling for Self-Deportation recently.

BUT NOT ONE OF THESE CRIMINALS LEFT ON
HIS/HER OWN.

SAD.

This entire article is about the mess Mexico has made out of their country and how terrible the US is for not wanting that mess up here. Is this guy for real? Fix your own mess! At least they seem to understand that we don't want them anymore and are looking towards Canada. Good luck, Canada.

Miss illegall aliens?? I live and grew up in Southern California. It had very little crime at one time. Very little. The Mayor of Los Angeles, Villaraigossa, said that there is now less crime than in the fifties of the last century. You see, he is a Mexican reconquista ex gang member clown. He knows he is lying and he is in fact a practiced lier. But it goes deeper than that. He as well as politicians like Gloria Molina, L.A. County Suprervisor, and other well -known Mexican malcontent politicians who were educated free and are now biting the hand that fed and feeds them, like to say things like crime is now lower. They think it pulls the strings of those who grew up here. No it doens't. But it does demonstrate what vile, ungratefull, Mexican nationalist at heart, TRAITORS, so many of them are.

Again, back to the story. MISS ILLEGAL ALIEN MEXICANS? LIKE A HOLE IN THE HEAD. LIKE MISSING CRIME, BAD LANGUAGE, AND GRAFFITTI. THE TRUTH IS , MOST LONG TIME CALIFORNIANS AND AMERICANS IN GENERAL, WON'T MISS THEM-----AT ALL. THERE MIGHT BE A CELEBRATION WITH PINATAS AND BEER IF THEY LEFT, HOWEVER.

So the Mexican consul thinks we'll miss their illegals. I miss my parents, I miss chocolate, I miss rain in these dry days, but I can think of nothing I would miss less than a country full of illegal aliens. Senor, we've got two million legal immigrants coming in each year and they all need jobs. If we had anything but idiots in Washington, we'd never have had this problem to begin with. We, the people, are working hard to get rid of them - both illegals AND polticians.

.The president cannot make an amnesty happen as you saw with the case of President Bush.
Comment by Ed W. (edweirdness)
The President can't craft legislation, he can only use the "bully" pulpit to advocate for laws he supports. The House and Senate are where the real problem with enforcing our immigration laws rests. Voters have an unprecedented, non-partisan opportunity to effect great change this November.
I call it voting in "self defense". By voting out incumbents where ever possible, we, the people, can change the balance of power and tenure in Congress. We can marginalize the damage that either a McCain or an Obama presidency will cause. By removing as many long term, all-powerful Congressional incumbents, we can upset the partisan apple cart that usurps the will of America's Citizens.
Who knows, once we get through the catharsis of voting in self defense rather than in partisan self interests, we might see more responsible people willing to run for office, and more Citizens finding benefit in voting.
Waiting for a third party that may never arrive is definitly not in our best interests. Frequent "House and Senate" cleaning is a method whereby we can limit the tenure and power of Congressional leaders and restore accountability as an incentive for politicians to follow the will of the people.
Congressional approval ratings are even more abysmal than President Bush's approval ratings. There are no negative down side risks to trying someone new as opposed to reinstating someone who sucks hard! The farther politicians get from direct accountability to their constituents (incumbency) the less representative they are of the people they represent. Increasingly, incumbents focus only on the moneyed and special interests that can keep them in office. The easiest way to deal with the problem of incumbency, is to eliminate incumbency by turning out politicians at every opportunity. The benefits in reducing earmarks, and the reduction in tax payers funded pensions and pay increases would doubtless fund much needed programs from which we, the people would benefit.
Do your homework people.
Thought this would say it best

These immigrants are tax-payers. According to the Social Security Administration, it is estimated that illegal immigrants have paid $450 billion to the SS security fund. Immigrant Households and Businesses Generate Billions: In 2005, immigrant households and businesses paid approximately $300 billion in federal, state, and local taxes: $165 billion in federal income taxes, $85 billion in state and local income taxes, and $50 billion in business taxes. Immigrants Pay More in Taxes Than They Use in Services Over Their Lifetimes: Depending on skills and level of education, each immigrant pays, on average, between $20,000 and $80,000 more in taxes than he or she consumes in public benefits. Seventy five percent of immigrants arrive in the United States when they are in their prime working years. With 80 million baby-boomers retiring in the next 20 years, most of them white, it will be these immigrants who will be suppor Social Security so that these elderly people won' die in poverty.

Uhh, C.L. you wanna give some links to your 'data'-- its possible on this internet thingy you know. In fact, the only easily available estimates I find are $7 billion for 2005, in 2007 social security took in $785 billion. So illegal immigrant contributions are only about 1% of all Social Security paid. A very slight upward adjustment of the level at which income becomes exempt from social security tax could easily make up for that and then some, with the added bonus that SS will become less regressive.

We'll miss you? In a pig's eye we will. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

From what I've heard, countries such as Mexico and China are actually AGING FASTER than the US and don't have the social safety nets that we do. Mexico, in short, needs us (and the Social Security totalization agreement) much more than we need it. Given that most of the illegal aliens we're getting from Mexico are unskilled and uneducated, and having more children than we are, they and their kids will compete with our elderly for scarce dollars. Nor will they be doing the jobs that baby boomers are retiring from--most of those need at least a high school education.
