I think that all people should have equal rights and we shuld help people that really want to make a big change in their lifes as well in society. I met this woman that she used to hate illegal immigrants, then a few months I saw her on the bus and I ask her how is everything she answered really sad, that her biggest mistake was to hate people that relly have nothing to do with their parents problems she was talking about her sons doctor, this doctor came illegally to this country and he graduated from UCLA. And he was the one that save her sun's life. Now after been republican and racist for almost fifty years she is joining the immigrants rallies in support of the illegal immigrats that are here studing and they want to make a difference. Always think you are the foreigner before you discriminated against.

I sure am glad to see somebody for the American people.These illegals need to be sent back to Mexico and if they want to come back, do it the legal way. Does any one really think we could go to Mexico or any other country and get away with what the illegals are here? We need leaders with backbone ,not wet dish rags saying, oh it's ok , come on over. We'll give you what the Americans have worked so hard to pay .. it's tax dollars. You can have them for free. I think not...

Yes, instead of the sob stories about why their criminality should be rewarded, we need Leaders to enforce our Immigration Laws. Legal Citizens get a slap in the face when we give lawbreakers rights that belong to American citizens, not invaders.

We need Leaders who enforce our Immigration laws. If I went to another country and forced my way in only to give sob stories and faulty arguments for my criminality, I'd be laughed at and rightfully so.

It's a shame these people cannot comprehend....follow the Law. Come legally or don't come. Do not expect to be rewarded for your criminality. You entered illegally and that is a criminal act. Don't bring up the Native American Indians, etc etc all your usual arguments. The Native Americans did not just appear, they travelled here across the bering straits. This Nation was formed under the Constitution and the rule of Laws. Those laws when followed helps us maintain some harmony. We don't fall under reckless mob rule.

So we must deal with where we are today. NO MORE AMNESTY. Assess our immigration situation and decide how many immigrants we can reasonably allow to enter this country. We only have so much resources that are for Legal American Citizens.

So we're all racist because we are tired of illegals marching the streets DEMANDING we give them what they want? Your story is bullsh1t and no one is buying it.

It slays me how these characters always bang their drums with lack of abandon,and wanton disreguard whilst addressing their hosts with impunity as they arrogantly display their extreme stupidity with a puffed up sense of importance...go figure.

I and my wife are natural born American citizens. When it was time for my two children to go to college I worked two full time jobs and my wife worked one full time job besides taking care of the house.
Who the hell are these illegals to be given free education, medical, etc.? They have one hell of a nerve demanding these services.
I also guaranty that I will not vote for any politician that wishes to continue giving them these benefits or extending their benefits.
I've stated this to my elected officials and hope everyone else will do the same.
Enough is enough!!!!!

If he were ILLEGAL, how in the hell did he get into UCLA med school? Republicans are NOT the racist party. Democrats are the ORIGINAL party of SLAVERY and RACISM.

I am a democrat but I agree with Dole and Burr on this.Just being born here should not make you a citizen. If you are born of illegals then you should be illegal.Also being in America doesn't or shouldn't give you constitutional rights. Tell me a country you go to and are given citizenship rights for being there. Yes America is different and has a place for all legal people but it is a slap in the face to the ones who have come here through the legal channels to just ingore the law for some.We do still have laws. I think.

Sorry, you are wrong, things did a little flip flop few years back but I guess those government skrewls you attended didn't get that across to y'all. LOL

"The South has now shifted from being the conservative Democratic stronghold to a Republican base and southern politicians bring the baggage of excessively conservative social and greedy irresponsible economic policies into the Republican fold. Interestingly, it was the Republican Abraham Lincoln's presidential elections in 1860 and 1864 and the Democrat Lyndon Johnson's election to the White House a century later in 1964 that rallied the Southern politicians to enforce their conservative and segregationist stronghold. Race has always been at the core of Southern politics and the South has always closed ranks against any efforts for equality. This, in spite of the fact that it was a "white" Democratic southern politician, Lyndon Johnson, who passed the most important civil rights legislation in the country's history."...http://www.co unterpunch.org/gray12112004.ht ml

I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT WE STILL HAVE POLITICIANS THAT BELIEVE THAT YOU NEED TO BE A LEGAL CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO GET ASSISTANCE FOR COLLEGE. I WISH THERE WERE MORE OF THEM. OUR POLITICIANS NEED TO ALSO BELEIVE THAT TO GET ANY KIND OF ASSISTANCE THAT YOU NEED TO BE A LEGAL CITIZEN. THESE ILLEGALS COME TO THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE THEIR OWN COUNTRY WILL NOT HELP THEM, SO THEY COME HERE TO DRAIN OUR COUNTRY. I BET THAT OVER 50% OF THE PEOPLE GETTING WELFARE HELP ARE NOT EVEN CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AND A LOT OF THEM CAN'T OR WON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. I REFUSE TO CHANGE MY LANGUAGE TO ACOMODATE THEM. WHEN MY ANCESTERS CAME HERE, LEGALLY, FROM FRANCE, AMERICANS DID NOT CHANGE THEIR LANGUAGE TO FRENCH, MY ANCESTERS LEARNED ENGLISH. I THINK IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN AMERICA YOU NEED TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE AND SPEAK IT WHEN YOU TALK TO US AMERICANS. AND WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE TELEPHONES, "PRESS 1 FOR ENGLISH". THIS IS AMERICA AND WE SPEAK ENGLISH.

That's a scary idea. Heard somebody on TV say that last night. Wasn't listening really so I can't say who. Revolutions are for young folks. I favor peaceful evolution using the means provided by the Constitution.

What amazes me about this whole illegal immigration debate is the insertion of some notion that these people are coming here with some ulterior motive like to drain our country. I don't think so, they come for jobs, not welfare. I see them in my doctor's office and enough of them are going there that they offer bilingual support. Does anybody think they are getting free health care from a private physician? I don' think so. These folks must have the better paying jobs in construction.

"Although illegal immigrants are ineligible for welfare, food stamps and other public service programs, they can obtain some of them by using false identification papers. It's a big business and not difficult to create an identity for this purpose." http://immigration.about.com/od/ussocialecono...

This basically means social services people need to have in place the means to check identification papers. People are demanding businesses who hire illegals to do this so why not government agencies?

As if some of these areas HAVE a constitution. I meant overthrowing their government, not ours.

Ya know, if these places had oil we wouldn't have the problem.
