That's what I like to see, bigotry that doesn't pretend to hide...
Should I fall pray to the "call em' a bigot and they'll stop challenging us" defense? I could care less what you think. If not wanting it to be easy ior legal for any Mexican (or any other nationality) who so chooses to just walk into the U.S. unannounced, makes me a bigot..I PLEAD GUILTY!
JUST to make you feel better and typing REAL slowly, I am not suggesting persons come here illegally or legally from ANY country, except when they have something to offer. If we need computer guys, ditch diggers, surgeons bring them in limited numbers after thorough screening.

Yes, and tens of thousands of them are in OUR jails being taken care of with OUR tax dollars
Citation, please.
The report by the General Accounting Office—the investigative arm of Congress—shows the number of criminal aliens in federal prisons increased from about 42,000 at the end of 2001 to about 49,000 at the end of last year.
The majority of criminal aliens were identified as citizens of Mexico
How's that????

Millions are on social programs and receiving FREE medical with OUR tax dollar
Citation, please.
First off, are you saying that there aren't millions of illegals getting the benefit of our social programs, free schooling, emergency room treatment, welfare, college tuition in SOME states??? Have you been to an emergency room lately??? They have no insurance, speak no English, but get service just like all the insurance paying persons. You don't have to be a detective to see what is happening. Do I want to let someone suffer? No, I'm for stopping them from coming or sending them back. Once they're here I understand the humanitarian need to give aid at the hospital.
There are MILLIONS of illegals living here, we receive hundreds of thousands every year. They use our schools, subways, buses, police, fire, roads, social programs, jails, emergency rooms, legal systeam, libraries, etc. etc. Are they NOT getting MANY of the same benefits despite the fact that they pay an miniscule % of the taxes that the average tax paying U.S. citizen does? In fact one could argue that on average they use a much higher % of some services, such as free medical care because they HAVE no insurance, school budgets, because thay require extra help with schooling. All this drains an already strapped system.
"Anchor babies," the author writes, "born to illegal aliens instantly qualify as citizens for welfare benefits and have caused enormous rises in Medicaid costs and stipends under Supplemental Security Income and Disability Income." Between 300,000 and 350,000 anchor babies annually become citizens because of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside."
Is that OK???

If you prefer, produce just one citation for any of your claims.

They have children at an ALARMING rate. These children's, medical, school, food stamps, WIC , English as a second language classes are PAID for with OUR tax dollars
In Europe the birth rate is about 1.5, illegal immigrants in the U.S. is about 2.4 (probably higher but record keeping is hard when your illegal in the first place) and the U.S. as a whole is about 2 or so. What is alarming is that though they are here illegally, WITHOUT insurance theya are still reproducing at a higher rate. 2.4 vs. 2.0 may not seem like much until you look at the %'s. If illegal aliens are reproducing at around a 25% greater rate and they're here illegally to boot..yes, I call that alarming.
Oh, wait, wait...
If they have children, wouldn't there be a TERM for those children?
Oh, wait, *I* have one: American. They would be Americans.
Just like, I presume, you.
A native born American. Just like you. Just like me. A full fledged, red faced, sputtering, indignant member of the tribe.
NOPE, maybe like you not me. My grandparents broke no laws, they weren't engaging in criminal behavior when they entered this country. They never trespassed, lied, cheated or "played" the system in any way. My granparents got no free medical, bilingual education, welfare or other help from the U.S. government.
The children are just that children, the illegal alien parents are the law breakers
I love it when bigotry doesn't even try to hide.
Just because I don't like OUR country being invaded doesn't make me a bigot. If it makes you feel better to label those who don't agree with you as bigots, feel free. Since you support the invasion of our country by illegal foreigners perhaps you'de be well served by a label as well...how's unpatriotic. If the show fits.
Oh and buddy, WHY don't YOU produce some, how do like to refer to them...."CITATIONS" Show me how GREAT illegal immigration is for the country.
