Immigration Debate - Oxnard, CA

The definition of ILLEGAL has not changed. If any elected government official doesn't understand that perhaps they will when they come up for reelection! Mexico NEEDS TO FIX THEIR OWN COUNTRY!!!
It is not the job of the citizens of the U.S. We are not the United States of Welfare. It must stop NOW!

Send the scum home!

Descrimination is wrong in shape or form!

Descrimination is wrong at any level,shape, or form. Specially when this country was built by immmigrants

Neither has the definition of Descrimination that's what's wrong it has nothing to do with elected goverment officials it is unfair to generalize and say all illegal aliens are (Mexican)and they are all here to collect welfare. (If you're here ilegally you can't collect welfare) welfare is only given to legal aliens and citizens. The economy is not the way it is due to illegal immigrants. On the contrary hard working illegal immigrants have contributed with the progress of this country's economy for many years.

There is a profound difference between yesteryears legal immigrants and today's illeagal aliens. This rush for the boarder is out of control and needs some measure of order.

If these illegal criminals had the education, training, and experience that the President, Congress, senate, and assembly has, they wouldn't be picking fruit either. You should think about your comments before you type them.

If they don't have to follow the laws, why do I?!

its the law

its the law and they are breaking it by illeagaly entering this country

Arizona is simply following federal law. we have to do the same.

Wrong, most illegals receive welfare through anchor babies and WIC:

WIC Eligibility Requirements

Applicants must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:

* Categorical
* Residential
* Income
* Nutrition Risk

Categorical Requirement

The WIC Program is designed to serve certain categories of women, infants, and children. Therefore, the following individuals are considered categorically eligible for WIC:
Women -- pregnant (during pregnancy and up to 6 weeks
after the birth of an infant or the end of the
pregnancy)
-- postpartum (up to six months after the birth of
the infant or the end of the pregnancy)
-- breastfeeding (up to the infant's first birthday)
Infants (up to the infant's first birthday)
Children (up to the child's fifth birthday)
Residential Requirement

Applicants must live in the State in which they apply. Applicants served in areas where WIC is administered by an Indian Tribal Organization (ITO) must meet residency requirements established by the ITO. At State agency option, applicants may be required to live in a local service area and apply at a WIC clinic that serves that area. Applicants are not required to live in the State or local service area for a certain amount of time in order to meet the WIC residency requirement.
Income Requirement

To be eligible for WIC, applicants must have income at or below an income level or standard set by the State agency or be determined automatically income-eligible based on participation in certain programs.
Income Standard The State agency's income standard must be between 100 percent of the Federal poverty guidelines (issued each year by the Department of Health and Human Services), but cannot be more than 185 percent of the Federal poverty income guidelines.
Automatic Income Eligibility Certain applicants can be determined income-eligible for WIC based on their participation in certain programs. These included individuals:
-- eligible to receive SNAP benefits, Medicaid, for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF, formerly known as AFDC, Aid to Families with Dependent Children),
-- in which certain family members are eligible to receive Medicaid or TANF, or
-- at State agency option, individuals that are eligible to participate in certain other State-administered programs.
