Illegal Immigration

I have nothing against resident aliens, they worked hard to get into this country. Illegal immigrants on the other hand, I can not stand them. When I was pregnant, I was working 50 hours a week as a hostess in a restaurant (lots of stand up work, and where I worked, there were no busboys so we had to help bus tables) so that I could be able to have some money put away for my son. my boyfriend was doing the same. after my son was born, because the area that i lived in has so many illegal aliens they were sucking up all the medicaid and government help money that we couldn't even qualify. we couldn't even live in those government assitance homes because there were so many of them already living there. it was like a 2 year waiting list. so we had to move in with strangers (who were illegal immigrants themselves). i'm a US born citizen, and my boyfriend's a resident alien. i don't speak spanish, and these people don't speak english, and they had government benefits that i needed, but couldn't get. luckily we moved into another state where my boyfriend's family is, and moved in with them until we could get on our feet and get our own place. But besides that, they get all these benefits so that they can send money back to their countries, or buy themselves nice things. i know this couple who is illegal, reap the benefits, work under the table, and own a BMW, and a house where their mortgage is $1,500 a month, and still afford to buy brand name things, especially the woman, she is a jewelry fanatic. and it's a really huge house. and they are allowed to stay here because their children were born here. i seriously think our country should do something about this because the unemployment rates for US citizens are high because companies would rather pay these people a couple of bucks an hour under the table to do work that should be for our citizens.

Well i came here on a tourist visa and ended up staying with my 3 children, I am happily married to a hard working american Citizen.... All i want to do is work to support our family , The cost of filing the papers is so high, mayb that could be reduced a little to help those who want to help themselves!. Also we do not get any state help in anyway shape or form, we pay for health insurance, we pay our own rent our own utilitys.... For those who come here to sponge off the system, thats wrong and i do not agree with it.

Unfortunately it is happening big time in the UK and it is totally out of control

I think that if people want to come here so badly that they should do it legally. They would have an easier time finding jobs and getting insurance, instead of having to "barrow" social security numbers from people who are american citizens. I have nothing against the people who want to live here and come here illegally they just need to get citizenship asap. It's just easier for us if they either became legal citizens or get out of the US.

wow - it's nice to finally see a discussion on here that's based upon intelligence and not something superficial. i think the united states needs to put a lockdown on the illegal immigrants coming into our country. not only are they taking away jobs rightfully created for our citizens, but they are also taking away our benefits. my whole feeling on it is this .. if you're going to come into the country, why not go through the process and make yourself a legal citizen? things would be so much easier for you.

i think that with them collecting gov't aid is not right, but if they came and got an honest job to want to live like an american then i have no problem with it!!
