As many know I am living in Mexico. While watching Fox News a little earlier I wanted to start this discussion about illegal immigrants. Does anyone of you have an idea how many Americans and Canadians work in this country illegally? They do real estate business, sell time sharing for the big hotel chains, run little import/export businesses and NOT paying a dime on income taxes. Should the Mexican government implement double fines? Or forbid these people to reenter the country, as most use a form of visa where one is allowed to live here, upon proof of having enough financial means to support oneself for a year.

I am glad we are ripping your country off. I guess you know how it feels to be sucked dry. Yeah while your people come here getting free services I have to wait and get denied medical care and whatever assitance I need for a low income family. Yeah that's right your people come here without a social security number and get free credit cards while I have to work my butt off to get one, or else I don't get a credit card. Yeah so you the poster who started this topic, you should understand how a hard working tax payer like me should feel. So I guess we are even!

i didnt know that, but im not really surprised. the unfortunate thing is that americans hate the illegal immigrants coming from mexico, but they are doing the exact same thing. what's ironic is that a lot of these illegal immigrants do jobs that most americans wouldn't even DARE doing. i guess that's a common thing for immigrants in general. i seriously dont think the US would survive without immigrants, illegal or not. yet they make such a big deal about all the immigrants in the country. they were all immigrants in the beginning, whether it was back then or now makes no difference.

Well seen. Remember we Dutch started it? In hte old country the same happened some 25 years ago. The authentic Dutch were not willing to do certain jobs anymore and so they "imported" workers from all over Europe. The problem.......now there is no real Dutch culture anymore.

Illegal immigrants are a nightmare for every government in every country of the world exculding Africa. I am from Pakistan and there are many illegal immigrants here too from Afghanistan which have settled here from 1980's when Russia invaded Afganistan. Now Pakistan Government is trying its level best to send back all the illegal immigrants.
