well, but you have to admit that these articles are probably written by right-wingers who dislike mexicans or immigrants in general.
So they write these articles in order to raise tensions between Americans and the so-called ''aliens''.
Wrong again -- this article focuses on Chinese illegal aliens being exploited by flesh merchants in San Francisco. Once again, read the article.

Politicians, immigration attornies, the Department of Labor, business owners and all illegal aliens all benefit from illegal immigration. So what do We the People get out of it besides cheap lettuce?

youre all illegal, as far as the true native american are concerned.
how does the logic work? a bunch of imigrants invade a country then at a certain point they decide that they wont allow any more immigrants. its not based on density, the number of people per acre or anything logical is it?

I agree with AThousandYoung. There is no such thing as a 'native' American. There are only those who got there first (who might even have moved on to South America or got wiped out, we don't know), and all those who came later in various waves.
So we should really say 'wave 1' Americans, 'wave 2' Americans etc.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of the current 'illegal aliens' have ancestors who came from the area of the US before the US even got there. In fact those whose ancestors were part of 'wave 1' but spread into South America, most definitely have ancestors from North America.

Please give an example of "traitor-themed music".

You're mistaken. I'm no illegal -- I was born here. My parents were born here. Their parents were born here. And so on and so on. It goes all the way back to the King of England founding the Thirteen Colonies. I am a citizen with all the rights and responsibilities granted by the Constitution of the United States of America.

In many other countries, xenophobia has little to do with legality.

I do think that every government should be tough on illegals. They should decide whether they want immigrants or not and if they do, make an appropriate process available. What actually happens seems to be a case of allow illegals in and keep them illegal so that they can be exploited.

And why are the illegals there? Because heavily subsidised American corn growers have dumped cheap corn on Mexico, putting all the farmers out of business.

It's a vicious circle.

One more convincing argument why we need one world government and for us all to be made citizens of planet earth. At this point every illegal alien will cease to exist as either illegal or alien.
