It is not discrimination to refuse to hire illegal aliens, it is obeying the law.

Why do you make honest citizens out to be the "bad guy" when it is the illegal alien who chose to break the law.
They aren't victims.

No, of course not. I won't discriminate a person just because he/she has stolen something. Of course, I'll keep my eyes open, but I won't say: "Get away from me, thief!". Only if the person steals me.
But I think everyone pays attention to those kind of person. There's no way to disguise! The person is a thief, how can't you take care of your things?
Anyway, I do not discriminate.

Well, I think that all illegals are thief. Usually, that's the case. If there are exception, then the number's small.
But, I am looking forward to change my way of thinking... As long as you can tell me which illegals are not thief.

Well they can be. They are stealing things that we need. Such as apartments, places to rent, our jobs. Also some even are in our education systems stealing education from our children by taking money's away from them to fund english classes and such. I believe that I do discriminate. I don't mean too but I do.. and everyone probably does a little even if they say they don't. Not to my extent but just a little.

No. Many of them DO pay taxes. I understand, though, that there is a treaty of many years ago between the US and othere countries, including Mexico, that for 7 years, in either country, foreign businesses get tax benefits. That's one reason many US Companies go to Mexico. The other seems to be cheap labor. The solution would be, I believe, for immigrants to register, pay taxes, earn thier way into the entitlement system (medicare, social security, etc.), then become contributing persons instead of the $19,000 to $22,000 per year per person, burden on the US Citizens. They would contribute by paying taxes, buying cars, houses, food and other goods just as citizens now do.

Absolutely I do and I'll tell you why. I have many friends from other countries. Italy, Ecudor, Columbia, France, England...the list goes on. And they have to go through so many hoops to be here legaly. They follow everything to the letter and it's a big pain in the rear end. One of my friends from Japan went home to visit her family and got stuck there for 2 months because they would not let her back in. For no reason at all, really. It's disgusting what people have to do to be here legally. Then there are all these illegals that come over no problem. They can do almost anything they want. The police don't bother with them because it's easier to ignore it then to start the deportation paper work. They don't pay taxes yet want the benefits of hospitals and other services.
Honestly, it makes me mad.
