I think the new immigration reform plan is a great idea. Those that are against it don't realize how much money this would bring in for the economy. They also don't realize the type of people and what they have to deal with on a day to day basis. Illegal immigrants aren't just the guys repairing your roofs and building your decks, they're also the kids that graduate high school with academic honors and qualify for full state scholarships. I wonder if they would feel the way they do if their child's success was retained because of circumstances out of their control. We are not criminals, we are just like your ancestors. We just came a little too late.

Illegals are criminals. Illegals are hear illegally and entered our country illegally which is a crime. Most also have some kind of record. Most refuse to speak English. They steal jobs from Americans and I hope we round them up and ship them out (including the anchor babies). I hope congress wants to keep it's job enough to not pass this bill.

Have you completely ignored my post on the other blog? I'm illegal because I was brought here when I was 7. I am now 19. Does that make me a criminal? Because of something that was not my choice? As far as I'm concerned, I am not a criminal. I have not killed, raped, robbed, or commited any crime of any kind. I don't have a record. And assuming you understand what I'm writing, then I got the English bit in check. I don't steal jobs from Americans because no place will hire me without an SSN (believe me, I've tried). I didn't enter this country illegally. I came on a plane, with a visa, and everything. I just never left. Along with me, there are million others in the same situation. Who have high school diplomas, and speak better english than most Americans (and it's true because I was told that by many AMERICAN people). Are you suggesting that there will be an overthrow of the congress upon passing this bill? You should overthrow because of this war that has cost us billions and continues to push the country into a major recession. Are you happy with current gas prices? I didn't think so.

I think you should be more informed and look past the fact that illegals are here illegally. I bet somewhere in your family tree, there was someone that came here (or anywhere) illegally. We are no different than they are.

Y_Dicianni,

You stated that you brought here as a child at the will of whom I will assume were your parents. From what you have stated, you entered with a visitor’s visa and never left. That in itself is a violation of law and makes you a removable alien under section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Granted you were a child when this violation occurred and had no control over the situation. However, now that you are a fully aware adult, remaining here does make it illegal. I also see that you were afforded an education in this country. Who do you think paid for that? Do your parents pay taxes? If so how? Surely they don’t have a Social Security Number? A taxpayer ID number perhaps? Did they become legal? I’ll tell you who paid for your education, we did! Most of the illegal’s here don’t pay taxes; they are paid cash under the table and work for half of what the United States Citizen will work for which is why they are stealing jobs from us. What makes you so special that you should be given status before someone doing it the correct way? Why should lawlessness be rewarded? I understand that most of the illegal aliens want a better life, but why not wait in line like the rest? And certainly you couldn’t be so naïve to believe that illegal aliens don’t use public services? Do some research….then turn yourself in.

Thanks for the legal advice.

Now that I have spent the majority of my life here, this is my home, and I have no intention in leaving.

As a matter of fact, my parents do pay taxes, and they do have LEGITIMATE SSN's because when we came here 12 years ago, people who bought real estate could file for a number for tax purposes. Since then, the laws have changed, but my parents managed to file for TINs for my younger brother (who is not an anchor baby, by the way) and I.

Not once have my parents solicited any government aid, because we know that when the time comes for our naturalization, it will become a problem. Our life here has been mainly funded from the money we get from Brazil (both my parents are retirees from a Brazilian aviation company and receive income from Brazil).

How can you say jobs are being stolen when most American companies won't hire without an SSN check and everything? Believe me, I've tried and it doesn't happen. Are Americans really willing to pick oranges for 12 hours and clean 15 hotel rooms a day? Yes they work for less, but that is what gives everyone the ability to afford so many things...

Let's say all immigrants were deported...immigrant jobs would have to be filled in by Americans who (judging by the working conditions) would require a ridiculously larger wage. This would make prices on goods skyrocket and push the country further (as if it's not already deep enough because of the war) into a recession. Isn't it enough that gas prices are disgustingly high, now you want to raise prices on milk and cereal? Propose THAT to the public

I don't understand why everyone is so threatened by immigrants to losing their jobs. Is it because they are sure that immigrants would be better at what they do than they are? I'm telling you, if Americans spent more time worrying about how to make themselves more efficient employees and better at what they do, they would have no doubt in their mind that they are the best. Point blank.

Have you spoken to anyone "doing it the correct way"? I have, and the "correct way" is no way at all. You apply to get in legally and get a letter telling you that your application has been put in line. Then you just sit and waste your life away waiting for a response in the mail (which always takes years and years to come, if they even come at all). You only get one life, and I don't plan on letting mine pass me by.

If anyone should be doing research, it's you. :)

Oh and on the public service bit...if you mean welfare and medicaid? Think again. How are people going to receive such services without an SSN? And if they provide a false SSN, the IRS would catch on when that person's SSN was reporting erratic activity. It has happened to people I know, that's how I know it happens this way.

So why not give the immigrants an SSN and let them pay taxes and contribute to not only their children's education, but your children's as well?

Use your head. :)

Trust me when I say I know what I am talking about. I know the process for immigration law because I enforce it. And welfare is awarded to those that are undocumented who have children born in the United States. WIC doesn't require a social security number and the medical is provided through emergency rooms. And again, what makes all here illegally so special that they should be moved to the head of the line? I am using my head...the legal advise was free.

Well since you enforce the immigration law, then I shouldn't be telling you about the process and how much false advertisement it is. It all depends on your country of origin and how close a diplomatic relation it has with the US. That's why it is so easy for Canadians and the Bitish to become naturalized. Now you tell me, is that fair? Is it fair that It's of no one's choice what nationality they are born in.

What makes the ones here so special that they should be moved to the head of the line is that they live here. They consume here. That's all that it's really about, all the money. All the money that we contribute as it is, and the more money we would contribute if we were legalized. Don't you get it? Go back and read the bit I wrote about prices going up on normal goods in the absence of immigrants and let it sink in for a while. You don't think that if given the chance, we would work toward a better future for this country along with you and other already citizens? In a heartbeat because this is our HOME.

Is there anything else you'd like to present in your rebuttal? Please proceed.

False advertisement, in what way? Limits on how may immigrate per country per year is set by congress. Brazil is not far behind Great Britain and Canada. After immigrating LEGALLY, anyone may naturalize after meeting the residency requirements (5 years). Living here does not make you special and afford you the right to break the law. Some sad news for you too, your rights are limited. You do not have the same rights I have. So you think it is alright to legalize everyone who managed to avoid being arrested over the years over those who respect United States law and try to do it the right way? Sure, money is an issue. It’s you that don’t get it. I know from experience that a majority of those illegally here come for money. To make money to send home. Why? Easy, $20,000 dollars earned in a year here would buy a beautiful home in Mexico or even start a business. A few months ago ICE raided a meat processing plant in Colorado. The result was job opportunities for Americans. Did the price of chicken go up? Nope. Do you really think that there are people here that won’t do the work you illegal aliens are doing? And if there is an increase in prices the costs will offset each other. Would I mind paying $3.00 for a head of lettuce and 10% less in taxes? What do you think? Sure I believe if given a chance you would work hard for a better future. And you have that opportunity. The problem is this; you just don’t want to wait in line. You’re one of those that feel entitled. Bad news, you’re not. And on that day when you get caught, and it’s only a matter of t

Bad news, you’re not. And on that day when you get caught, and it’s only a matter of time because you’ll do something stupid that draws attention to yourself, then that’s when it will hit you. That’s how many are apprehended in Florida, and then you’ll know how the law works. Oh, just for fun….do some research on the impact of illegal immigration on this country. Do it honestly and I think that you will be surprised. Include in your research the amount of money exported each year to other countries.

What part of DO NOT BELONG HERE don't you understand? I realise from your story that you personally did not make the decision to stay here illegally. That is the crime of your parents. You claim to be intelligent person, so lets just assume that you are. Why should you be allowed to stay? Because you are not a criminal? So....Beacause you have assimilated?So.......Because you speak English?So.......Because you have no other place to go?So........This is not Americas problem. Criminals like you and your family are. You cannot deny.You are a criminal.

Yeah, K9, that is what burns my buns are the ones who are here illegally that send the money they make back home.
Years ago, I knew many Brazilians in NY that did just that. Come here on a student visa with no plans of going to school, but straight to work. All the money going home. Staying here long after the visa expired, saving 10-20G's, and going home to buy a farm, or other business. And YES! They were doing jobs Americans were more than willing to do!

K9, do the airlines report passengers here on visa's that fail to take their flight home?

Slgps,

As far as I know airlines are not responsible to report those who overstay their visa but that would be more on the inspections side rather than enforcement. All who enter the United States must present themselves for inspection and entries/exits are recorded.

I am a travel agent, and someone called to ask me to change their retun ticket. I asked if the notified the airline that they wanted to stay longer? No. The airline knew she was a no-show and as far as they know she could still be here. The airlines can detect duplicate bookings, back to back tickets and throw away tickets. I wonder why the computer couldn't scan for situations like this? Visitors need to list a place where they are staying and have a retun ticket. This story wasn't anything sinister, but it seems like a huge gap in security. The girl who wrote the blog could have been caught if the airlines were checking and reporting.

All of these so called honor students got their educations thanks to my tax dollars. I have paid for them, at my childrens expense, not just with the tax dollars it cost for that illegal child's care with medical etc etc etc, but in the fact that my child's classroom was that much more overcrowded. Why should my child have to suffer in oversized classes so your illegal child can be valadictorian? Which I have paid for it's whole life?

Would they let that happen in the country you fleed from?

Slgps,

When someone does not return to their country, it is known. Overstays are common and eventually get caught. Like I told our friend arrogant friend here, the time will come, law enforcement will catch up to you and then there will be no more excuses.

Maybe if your children weren't too busy partying and getting high behind your back, they'd make valedictorian. Education and success is an opportunity anyone can acquire.

Yes, I'm really arrogant because I can see both sides of the issue and the pros and cons each choice can lead to. I think that you should scold the government for taking so long in finding me...I'm going into my 13th year already. When are they planning on catching me? When I'm 50? It won't matter then.

I really tried in reaching a compromise with you people and presenting a different perspective, but you just don't care. Period. Not even about your own benefits from this bill. I know you all are frustrated with this issue and you all automatically blame the immigrants, but if you all would just cool your heels and outline how you would benefit (or not) from this bill being passed and weighed the two sides and then chose a side, it would make much more sense. I have presented many ways that America would benefit from this bill and so far, none of you have presented enough arguments to support that this bill will be bad for the future of the country. All I hear is "DEPORT THESE ILLEGALS BLAH BLAH BLAH..." Such uncivilization, makes me question if I really am in a first world country.

Well, what other people do is not my problem. I don't send any money home. In fact, my parent's get money from Brasil (and pay taxes for it here) so I have things to back up my arguments.

I still have hope in convincing you people, but I have done all I can. Only time will tell now. I have no doubt in my mind that t
