Either they should be allowed to or outsourcing should be disallowed; at least with the illegal
immigrants they are willing to come here and work rather than jobs being given to people who don't
even live here illegally, let alone legally. |

What in the world does allow have to do with it. May as well ask should we allow the sun to shine
whenever it wants. We have neither the manpower nor the money, and even if we did I doubt it would
be worth it. It's just a big political sounding point for both sides of the fence so they can avoid
working on real problems. |

The immigrants are here in search of a better life. Everyone deserves a better life. We can always
send the criminals back to the mother country, but they aren't causing illogical problems. If we
remove all illegal aliens from the US, they may be gone, but they leave US born children behind. The
children are legal as they were born here, and do not have to leave. Therefore causing more debt, as
the government would then have to pay to support these abandoned children. Now you may be thinking,
"well why don't the aliens take their kids with them?" They leave their children behind, because the
children are citizens, and can continue their life, better than their parents'. Why not let the
parents stay? It would reduce our spending, and improve our economy (food pickers). So I say, "Let
them stay AND work!" |

Of course they should it's not like they are doing any jobs that Americans are fighting over.
Honestly they are just doing the "scut" work that we don't want to do. What's so wrong with that. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think they should as long as they are having to pay taxes as well. I think everyone deservers to
have a better life.

As I'm British, my opinion may be kind of irrelevant. However, I believe immigrants should be
allowed to work, even illegal ones. They produce the same benefits to the country as a born
American. If they got the job before someone else, that's just life. The situation might be
different in places with a high unemployment rate, but otherwise I strongly believe they should be
allowed to work. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes there are just here to work they are not harming no one |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Wow you complain that immigrants are taking jobs but that is false..immigrants take jobs that
Americans don't want and they get under paid almost all the time.. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think they should be permitted to work here they have tough lives and they came here to find
better opportunities besides the US did take their land or won it they should have some right to
work here and hey as taxes go we are just paying for those who don't want to work so what' the deal! |

In many U.S. States, especially in the West, economies would collapse without the contributions of
illegal workers. They are here to stay, and will continue to work, like it or not.
Yes, illegals are technically “criminals,” but let’s face it, the problem is one of supply and
demand.
How many picky, superior white boys are willing to swing a hammer for 10 hours in the hot sun for
$10/hour or prissy white girls to stand up behind a McDonald’s counter all day for $8/hour?
These jobs exist and must be filled. I say, all power to immigrants who see these needs and fill
them.
America was built on the labor of immigrants, many of them illegal. Mexicans are the modern
equivalent of the early-20th century Irish, Italians, Jews, and Germans. Those nationals all became
middle class and now running this country, and Hispanics are now making economic and social strides. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes! They should, i think we forgot how much money our economy lost that day all illegals did not
work and yes most of them where Mexican peep's , and your average American will not do the work they
do day in and day out. |

According to my point of view these illegal aliens should be encouraged to stay and work for U.S.
Let me submit my view in a broader aspect. These aliens are working for U.S which means they are
just giving the support to the economy of the country. Whether be it a manufacturing or service
industry, they are giving their full effort. On the other hand they are just having their
livelihood. This is a clear business and nothing else. U.S. Government is having the benefit as well
with the increasing number of employees who came to the country only to purchase a better life on
exchange of their sweat and exhaustion although they do not possess the proper documents needed to
stay in U.S. It is not that much easy to get the immigration in a very well organized manner. It
needs lots of paper works to be done. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
They are SUPPORTING the economy by being part of the working force, in both the manufacturing AND
service industries. They're not criminals...they're just trying to make a living in a country they
only came to to seek a better life.
And believe me when I say it's not that easy to come into the country legally. I am an immigrant,
and I understand the pains my parents went through to get us here...miles of paperwork and red-tape
had to be cleared. For someone that's living in a situation that's potentially fatal to their family
because the standard of living is so low and the job market is extremely difficult to get into, then
it is RATIONAL for them to seek refuge in another country, albeit illegally, simply to save the
lives of one's family. |

Illegal aliens already in the US should be allowed to stay and take on work, but government
authorities must eventually legalize their status. There are nearly 12 million illegal immigrants
currently in the US and by taking on low paying jobs that otherwise would not be filled, they help
fuel the American economy. Due to their large numbers, it is unrealistic (and entirely inhumane) to
simply deport them.
Yet illegal aliens must eventually be registered and turned into landed immigrants, with the
possibility of obtaining full citizenship. This is the only way to actually guarantee that these new
arrivals end up paying US taxes and that they are given the same rights and obligations as all other
citizens. Once this has been accomplished, the US should devise a way to more effectively patrol the
Mexican border, in order to halt the arrival of future illegal aliens. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I think that illegal aliens should be permitted to work in the United States as long as they are not
committing any crime. They are like every US citizen. They want to get up every day and go to work
to support their families. They usually work the jobs that US citizens do not want. So, I think that
they should be allowed to work like a normal person. Above all, the taxes they pay from their hard
work goes to the US government to help fund the US citizens who are on welfare and don't want to
work! |

Ok, news flash people. There aren't enough jobs for CITIZENS here, so why should we give illegal
immigrants the jobs that legal citizens and immigrants deserve. Why should we continue to help
people who break the law when law abiding citizens can't find work? The legal citizens should come
first. Once they have jobs, then the illegals can get whatever jobs are left over. That's completely
fair! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Should be?! Did you say should be allowed to work in the states? NEWS FLASH THEY ARE AND HAVE
BEEN....I agree the majority are trying to make a better living...but, so what. They are here
illegally, they cause an economic drain, they contribute to lower scholastic scores, which makes the
U.S. Less competitive in a global economy. Unlike past immigrants the current ones do not appear to
want to assimilate into main stream American Culture...there are many nations represented by the
immigrant issue...but, let me use Mexico as an example...if you get caught sneaking over Mexico's
Southern Boarder your ass is in jail!...or, go to Mexico City and march through the streets with
your countries flag on top of their flag and see what happens.... |

ILLEGAL immigrants shouldn't be allowed to come to the US at ALL. There's reason its called ILLEGAL
immigration. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't think that illegal aliens should be allowed to work in the U.S. Look at the first word
illegal that means by that they are in the country and are breaking the law and when they are
deported we as tax payers have to pay for there trip back home. And then they come back and the
process starts all over again. How much of our hard earned money goes to pay for there vacation
trip into the U.S. And then the trip home. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I have nothing against them, but their costing the government money to strengthen the efforts to
keep them out so it's kind of not fair for the government to put more money in because of the
increase in Mexican immigrants.....why would they even want to come here right now? |

Immigration laws are in place to protect America from an onslaught of foreign entities coming to our
country and draining our resources. If an immigrant wen through the legal and correct way to enter
this country, I have no issues with them. Yet, if we continue to condone the activities of those
individuals who choose to ignore the processes and ignore our laws the show a great disrespect to
this nation and those who chose to come over the right way.
Every day I hear stories of illegal immigrants getting in car accidents and receiving no penalties
because they are illegal. I've read about mothers and babies being run over while in a crosswalk by
drunk illegal aliens and a witness had to chase him down and get his license plate number. I watch
American children have to sit in overcrowded classrooms fighting to get an education while teachers
struggle with having to teach mixed classes. I see Americans who cannot afford healthcare but
because of the drain on the state and federal resources for medical care due to illegal immigrants
are refused medical attention. What about Americans? What about our rights? What about the man
who was just parked in a parking lot trying to do his job and his car is hit by a student illegal
driving without a license? What happens to him when his job that barely makes ends meet now has to
take money out his kids mouths to pay for an insurance deductible and now has to pay higher premiums
when the immigrant only received a ticket for driving without a license? What about the mother and
child in critical condition in a hospital? What about the kids in overcrowded schools?
People talk about how Americans won't do the jobs of laborers and that's just a complete
misrepresentation. What happened was these jobs use to actually pay decent wages, then came along
the illegals and they said "Hey, we'll do it for half that." Plus the business owner seldom has to
claim them or pay the taxes or the insurance. These jobs use to be held by Americans but due to
influx of illegals slashing the pay scale they have to try and find other employment because that
rate of pay doesn't cover basic living expenses.
American needs to feed and care for its own children before giving away our resources to illegal
immigrants. We are facing an era of low prosperity and we no longer have the surplus to afford
illegal immigrants.
Those who follow the processes laid out in our immigration laws, worked hard to come to this country
and try and make it here. They are the ones I want becoming citizens. I do not people who choose
to ignore our laws to be giving carte blanche to our resources. What message does that send to the
world. It says, come rape America, we won't do a thing about it. |

Hello no. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

I just think illegal aliens shouldn't even be here. If they are too lazy to get a fricken green card
then they souldn't live here. They are taking our jobs and money. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Illegal aliens should be shipped back to wear they came from, and do it the right way. |
| |

Every country that is having the problem of attracting migrants, needs to adopt a firm policy, as
these people are leaving a vacuum that will inevitably be filled, and perpetuate the problem. Where
will it all end.? |

Oh lord rich people don't get it do you! They don't work because they don't want to!!!!!!!!! I grew
up with them not working because there was a cloud in the sky. They collect welfare! They buy new
beautiful cars! They have nice clothes! And they don't even want to learn English! And yet they
riot! There out of there crazy but mind!! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|

They are taking jobs that a real American could have.
Send them back where they came from and let them come in the right way. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

Why make laws to protect American interest if they can just be ignored with impunity? American
citizens already suffer too many repercussions while our tax dollars are doled out to other
countries and special interest groups . |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
They need to just not come here if they don't do it right. Most of them are good people but a lot of
them are still running drugs or harming others here in many ways, our jobs, our lifestyle, housing,
communities, our children. Not to mention the fact that slimeball employers hire them for cheap
wages and allow citizens to go without. No they need to all leave which ever way we can get them
out. |
| |
|

These illegal aliens and Mexicans should not because there taking it from AMERICANS who were here
before them and what bought the ones who can't get a job because that illegal person took it? How is
that AMERICAN going to SPPOURT HIS FAMILY!!!!??? They Mexicans and illegal immigrants are taking
benefits and social security form AMERICANS. The have there own country go live in it there’s an
idea. We can hold only so many people and I THINK AMERICANS COME FIRST BEFORE THEM!! How are
Americans supposed to live and support their family when they can't get it because some stupid
illegal immigrants came and take it same with social security and insurance? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
No they shouldn't! I am all for hard working people trying to better their lives, but don't do it at
the expense of everyone else. They suck tax dollars out of the government and the cut in line in
front of the "LEGAL" immigrants that go through the proper channels to come here LEGALLY. The
problem is with their country of origin so don't blame it on the US! Corrupt governments in Mexico
and other nations are the real villains! |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
So let them illegally work here, live here and not pay taxes, but when they retire we'll pay them
SSI. If they want to have the benefits of being an American citizen then they should do it legally. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|

They are ILLEGAL, people, which means that they shouldn't have ANY rights, except vary basic. They
aren't citizens and thereby are not protected by constitutional rights. If they want a job, a
licence, a vote, or anything else, they need to recross the boarder in a LEGAL way and gain
citizenship and THEN they can have those pretty things that make you money and power... |

These people are in the process of committing a Felony. Why should we let wanted felons work out
in the open? Further more, Americans WILL do those jobs, just not for that pay. We have to pay
taxes, insurance and other stuff. Also, why do we need to have adults do it? What is wrong with
hiring a couple of teenage boys to pick your fruit? Why do we need the cheaper labor. I blame
growers and fast food industry for the obese teens because they hire illegals to jobs that teens
could have, leaving the teens left with nothing else to do. |

How ridiculous! That is not only the act of a country resigning itself to the fact that illegal
aliens are coming thick and fast, but encouraging their arrival by granting them the privilege of
work. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
They are here ILLEGALLY. They should not benefit from doing something illegal. They should be sent
home. And people that hire them should be prosecuted. Get in line and come here legally. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
They should live in their own countries and persue reform there. Many Americans are going without
basic needs, many Americans are paying taxes, but not coming close to redeeming the benefits of
their hard earned money. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I think they shouldn't there taking the jobs away from us Americans no wonder there's so much
poverty the south the Mexicans are taking all the jobs away..... |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
They are ILLEGAL! They should not be allowed to work unless they become a legal citizen. In other
countries you can not work their unless you are a legal citizen. Those who hire illegals should
serve jail time. |

They are quickly draining our economy.
"Based on Census Bureau data, this study finds that, when all taxes paid (direct and indirect) and
all costs are considered, illegal households created a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of
more than $10 billion in 2002. We also estimate that, if there was an amnesty for illegal aliens,
the net fiscal deficit would grow to nearly $29 billion."

There are plenty of jobless AMERICANS!!!! Aliens need to work in their own country!!!! All they do
is complain about our country anyway!!! But they don`t have to be here and they aren`t supposed to
be here so GET OUT!!!!! |

Get these people out of our country. I've been run out of business because there are 2 million
Latins who undermine my proposals by 50%. Put them in line with all the people trying to come here
legally,NOW . What part of taking care of your own don't you understand? I'd add more, but I'd
rather do it in person. I'm homeless, unemployed, haven't filedCh.11 nor une
ploy |

We are a country based upon law. We have the right to uphold those laws. Illegal immigration
violates the law. It makes hispanic people in this country illegally a target for exploitation and
lowers the wage base for American workers, places strain on the medical system, social security,
jails, welfare system. Not to mention the slap in the face to all those who entered this country
LEGALLY. Employers need to be held accountable for hiring illegal immigrants. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
There are laws for a reason. Countries have the right to determine who they allow onto their land
and just because you have people who are willing to ignore our most basic laws, they shouldn't be
permitted to get away with it. Perhaps if these people stayed in their own country and fought for
rights that we take for granted here, they wouldn't have to run across the border and violate
American law. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I don't think that they should be permitted to work here illegally because for one thing they are
taking those jobs away from American citizens who have to pay taxes. If they want to work in America
then they should do it the right way and that is to go back to their countries and get in line to
come to this country legally. |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
I can understand and agree what bulldog has said on the opposite side.
However, if we allow illegal Aliens work legally, it would encourage more people come to US through
illegal way, which may result in huge amount of illegal aliens live in US. This will not only give
big negative impacts on American society in terms of unemployment rates, education system and
medical system, but also give Mafaya (who always tend to provide ways for illegal immigration) lots
customers. |
