I live in Native American grand central station. The major tribes here are doing quite well for themselves. And I say good for them although, I think they donâ??t always let their money trickle down as far as it should within the tribe.

They need to go back to the port of entry that they should have come through in the first place and get a guest worker permit....we will never know exactly how many or who is who really except for the millions that are here working,honest and truly doing right...they should be made to pay taxes and help with their healthcare but the fact is that most of the illegals coming from Mexico don't want to be an American citizen...they want to support their families back in Mexico (home) and hope one day to be able to go back home theirselves and have a better life...to me this is like trying to close the door after the horse got out kind of thing...way to late.

I guess my whole problem with the illegals issue is the "They do the jobs no one wants" song and dance.
If they weren't there willing to DO the crappy jobs for minimum wage, companies would be forced to pay a living wage to thier employees and provide better working conditions. (For example, in my hometown we have a chicken processing plant that has been known to employ illegals...back when there were fewer, the working conditions weren't as bad...now, if you miss a day for any reason, you don't have a job AND you have ZERO chance of promotion within the plant unless you speak Spanish.)
People complain that hiring people at a wage that's considered livable (livable NOT being 10 people in a one bedroom apartment) would cause a raise in prices...and it probably would, since companies that have been padding thier wallets with goods made by people living in substandard conditions sold at inflated prices is standard practice, but do we really want to ENCOURAGE this sort-of behavior in companies by making it easier for illegals to be here?
Then again, I'm sure if we closed the border, more companies would just move to Mexico to exploit it's economic situation.
I'm sympathetic to poverty, but comming from a state where we've got people who live a step or two above Mexico conditions, I'd rather see the border closed and more focus on taking care of the abundance of people this countries already got.
(Yeah, I know someone's likely to make the arguement that NOWHERE in the US is as bad as Mexico, but there ARE people who live in shacks without electricity, running water, and who sometimes have to bet their next meal on what they can catch in backwater parts of Arkansas...like Madison County)

Every race has a Klan, the mexican KKK is no different
Marchers say gringos, not illegals, have to go

WASHINGTON â?? While debates about guest-worker programs for illegal aliens take place in the corridors of power, in the streets of America's big cities no amnesty is being offered by activists calling for the expulsion of most U.S. citizens from their own country.
While politicians debate the fate of some 12 million people residing in the U.S. illegally, the Mexica Movement, one of the organizers of the mass protest in Los Angeles this week, has already decided it is the "non-indigenous," white, English-speaking U.S. citizens of European descent who have to leave what they call "our continent."
The pictures and captions tell the story.
"This is our continent, not yours!" exclaimed one banner.
"We are indigenous! The only owners of this continent!" said another.
"If you think I'm illegal because I'm a Mexican, learn the true history, because I'm in my homeland," read another sign.
"One of the more negative parts of the march was when American flags were passed out to make sure the marchers were looked on as part of 'America,'" said the group's commentary on the L.A. rally.

write your Congressman....we had a Congressman speak at our school
he stated that many times when he has to vote he refers to the number of calls rec'd. If 10 people call FOR a bill, and 100 people call AGAINST a bill he will often vote based on the number of calls rec'd as those are the people he represents.
WRITE and/or CALL your Congressman TODAY.
