Around 20 years ago The United States was ranked 1st in Education when compared to other countries. Now The United States ranks 38th over all around the world. Some commented on how the United States is going to become like “all those 3rd world countries” if immigrants are not evacuated. Minorities from other countries (immigrants) make up almost half of Ivy League Students in America. Hispanic and Blacks at senior level can read better than most white students from the United States from the same level and your worry is immigration? What is the envy? That others may succeed more than you, a natural born citizen? Someone who had to start over with nothing and is excelling more than you? You worry about taxes. Big deal do you know that every illegal immigrants put in money into your social security and taxes without being able to get any of the money back. You worry that you pay for their education, medical bills, and the list goes on, when immigrants do not depend on money to excel in academics all they have to do is pick up a book and read something that white American children stop doing little by little each day. Medical bills…immigrants no not use hospitals, as frequent are white natural born Americans. They do not depend on wealth fare like many Americans. Every penny earned by an illegal immigrant is a penny earned from hard work. Do not confuse the law with racism. DO you not know that we are all humans? Do you not know that money, social status, nationality, does not make one superior over the other? Biologically we are the same; with the same capability to learn, to love, to prosper. Your tax money goes to our government. You pay for their vacations, security guards, fun parties, wars with no means, and you worry about possibly giving another human life health. Accomplishments have no color, nationality, religion, or age. Have you walked a mile in their shoes to know or even try to understand that if the only reason they were in the United States was to make you furious they would not be here. You had to come from somewhere. Are you telling me that your ancestors did not have to immigrate to the United States? Oh, and do you remember whose land you took? Native Americans, who the majority of them are now Hispanic.

Save the bleeding heart bull for the sleazy politicians. I grew up in a wonderful, clean, happy, middleclass chicago neighborhood. A couple hispanics moved in and within 2 years the neighborhood became a slum. Garbage thrown in the yards, roaches, beer cans and bottles, drunks sleeping outside. Masses in Spanish, business only hiring bilinguals. Sad that my father who fought in the Army for the American dream and worked all his life for that little two flat was forced to move because of the crime and filth.

IF it is true blacks and hispanics read better{which I doubt}it is because the scale is lowered for you.That is the reason not because you are inteligent.I wouldn't even include black people,there are very inteligent people that happen to be black.Hispanics only know drinking,raping,stealing and breaking every other law.OUR laws until you become legal you have no rights except to get your greasy butt back on your own side of the border.Let Fox deal with you.

So white people are righteous? No white natural born American has ever drank, raped, smoked, and the list goes on. I may be blind because the America, which I have lived in my entire life, seems way different then yours. And you talk about this “Scale” and how Hispanic scales are lower. I think your scale may be the low one. Have you even read anything that you did not only hear by mouth or learned from the news on SNL? If you look at the ACT or SAT scores and other national testing provided by this nation for all students regardless the color or nationality, you will see these facts. You speak as if you had never done anything wrong in your life and news for you judging is wrong. In your words, if one is Hispanic one is the pit of the earth? Your intelligence really amazes me. And you say you are not Hispanic….haha! If you have just opinions NOT FACTS then you may be wrong about your race. Did you ever take history class in high school or college? I would figure since you are not Hispanic you may know the reality of things. EVERYTHING is an opinion and unless you have facts that may impact the lives of other and not only yours then they will only remain opinions and never facts.

The way people act is not a matter of race it is a matter or value. If you had this experience does not mean that every Hispanic is this way. Being close-minded is the end of prosperity, the end of growing as human.

You want to talk about protection for the United States right?! Well, listen up all you anti-immigrants. Those hijackers came from CANADA NOT MEXICO!! So you want to know the real issue at hand...racism! That's right. All of you who are opposed to illegal immigration, remember where YOU originated from. This land was NOT predominantly white, in fact, it was NATIVE AMERICANS. Get over yourselves and your white supremacy. You're no better than anyone. What's unfair is that you have no competency and you're able to come here and proclaim that you have even the slightest knowledge of the problem at hand.

what happened.you say this land rightfully belongs to the american indian but when you have them staring you in the face all you can do is insult them.You don't have any idea what a sliding scale is?I could care less about the intelegence of any race.I care about a race that wants to take at least part of this land thar my family had fought for.Not only are we Indian,I have Mexican,black and Irish relatives.I am probably the only one here that isn't racist.

I relunctantly came on this site just to see how others feel concerning this issue. I am surprised.
I live amongst the Farmer Pool, oranges, and vegetables, and you can not walk for immigrants. The ones fighting for their right to stay are the big shot agriculturlist making the bucks not caring how our towns and rurals areas are being trashed. I live in the groves, it 'was' a beautiful piece of property till: immigrants picking oranges and they do not drink water, you have beer bottles thrown everywhere, I have to go out into my yard after they leave and pick up their styrofoam cups and other debris. Once they move into a trailer park or subdivisions, within a months time it needs to be bulldozered as the trash and stench it unbearable. I think the ones benifiting from them should be responsible for their actions. They do not know how to use bathroom facilities, they are seen urinating by the roads, outside their homes, and I personally know maintanance person who stopped working for this trailer park after mexicans moved in because of the filfth. They had jerked the curtains off the windows used them for covers, relieved themselves throughout the houses and for some unknown reason stuffed 6v batteries down the plumbing in the bathroom lavotory.(?) Yet, they leave this and go to work in a $80, duely, mexican flag handscripted on the sides and back glass, wearing Hilfinger clothing...WHAT...how did they obtain that duely with NO SS card, NO local driver licenses...? It is one of the biggest monies racketeering in this state...and I think our governor and his brother has gains somewhere

one quick comment, sure people complain about immigrants and how we are so similar to "illegal" drugs. We are not here to harm anyone, we are just here to provide a better future for our families. "Go back to our country," sure we love our country but we are here because we dont have the same opportunities in our country. One question, who provides cheap labor, and does the nasty little jobs others wont do? Immigrants!!
Let's be truthful here, how much of the monies you acquire in this country, stays in this country? Go to your local: Amscot or Post Office on friday or saturday morn and pay attention to all the money orders with thousand of dollars being sent back to mexico. Monies made with No Deductions, No Medicare or No SS deducted,..where is that fair to the CITIZENS of this country? I failed to see all the thousands living in my area standing in line at local tax offices prior to or on the 17th of this month. And I have not seen on billboard announcing for other ethnic groups: Free child care giving for workers,(state funded) as we have in our area. Standing room only in waiting rooms of doctors as you get your visit for $15. we have to pay:$95-125 for same, how is this fair? And..will someone tell me how our state and government qualifies these persons without SS #s..I am totally confussed? Once again, where is the fairness from this to we the citizens of this country..and also, the south has been farm counties for 100 of years, and we got our products to the market before we were flooded with immigrants, so do not even go there. The local which were doing the works, could not compete with your 'Cheap' labor, we live as families here, not units.

I can't believe that illegal immigrants would actually fly their flag on our soil and expect me to sympathize with them. If they want to fly the Mexican Flag let them go back to their country and get free health care, education, welfare and jobs.
When I see this, it is like a reality in your face, a slap in the face by our own government.(Guess you can not blame our governor for fighting for his children's heritage)

If you think unlimited immigration is a good thing, look what it did to the Indians of North America! A lot of people hate the U.S. and want to destroy it. They understand that it can be destroyed by flooding it with people who do not share the cultural identity, language and values.

Exactly right, and our liberal politicians are in the forefront of the crowd pushing to let it happen.

Maybe it is time to recall all our elected officials and start over again.

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Sagittarius

Watch out. Your mind is working overtime in full analytical mode, but you may be leaping to unfounded conclusions and reading too much into situations. The result of all this is that you might start to suspect someone's honesty or loyalty, and wonder what exactly they're up to. Don't accuse them of anything awful just yet because it may turn out that you were totally wrong about them.
