    It’s said how the left, of which I am one, continues to shoot itself and fellow Americans in the back over immigration. Statistics don’t lie. Illegal aliens are taking away jobs from low income American citizens: Black, Latino, Asian, White (yes least we forget), and teenagers. Business, small and large should be heavily peanalized and illegal aliens should be sent back to the country of their origin.

    Low income people what jobs badly but why should they, or anyone have to work for wages that won’t pay a house bill, rent, food, healthcare, utilities, etc. It’s sad when the left acts as if it cares for low income americans but really involves inself insanely so, for illegal aliens.

    Not everyone who comes here, if they can get here should be allowed to stay…

    We as Americans or legal residents of this country should be appalled at the attitude and the alleged defense that these illegals and thier defenders demonstrate. In California alone over 5 billion dollars annually in taxpayer monies are spent on services to illegals. For a Mexican person or a Latin person to complain about racial profiling and round ups of illegal aliens is a joke. Hello! If you are here illegally you are BREAKING THE LAW! It isn’t about racism or cultural differences it’s about right and wrong and dollars and cents.

    On the comment made by Henry Beamis:  The average American will not work for peanuts in agriculture while the Mexican will and by the way, therefore the jobs are NOT being taken by them.  Also, if you did a little research on USA you would know that there are all kinds of races among the Anglo Saxon.  Are they to go back to their place or origin as well?
    On the reference made by Jason Houchen i have a question: What about all those who are demanded by the border patrol agents to show they are here legally when they ARE citizens—are their rights not broken?  How would you like being harrassed by them, but wait i think you’re not Mexican.  Mexican and darn proud of it!
