I am sick & tired of illegals taking OUR jobs, using OUR tax money to pay for their hospital bills. They receive far more benefits for NOTHING while the legitimate people of the county must pay!

I approached a policeman & asked what to do when I know their is an illegal immigrant working. His reply was that I could report it but Escambia County nor city of Pensacola police will do nothing about them.

Disgraceful & disgusting to say the very least.

My great grandfather came here and immigrated legally. His 8 brothers and sisters ALL died on the way here. I don’t feel remorse for those who think theyre more important than the millions of others who are waiting to legally come here. Those who break the law to come here should be deported and be put on the end of the waiting list. There should be no loopholes for them at all. Theyre ways to come here and work legally without becoming a citizen. This bill is watered down because a fed judge will deem any other further involvement a fed issue and not a state inforced law, even if the fed refuses to inforced the laws they swore to uphold.

We are being overrun by Illegal Alients mostly Hispanic. They are a net loss to the system as they are using our social welfare programs. We cannot afford this. I don’t see illegal Drs, Engineers and other professionals. I see laborers with no education exploiting our country. This has gone on too long. Tired of my tax dollars supporting these people. They don’t belong here unless they go through offical channels.

Fabriela said…..”i seriously cant even believe all of this im only 15years old and i dislike these laws soo much ! im born here but hispanic and its so unfair how hispanics or immigrants are treated this way.”

HI said…..High schools students in Arizona and California took down the US flag and ran up the Mexican flag. Many of those students were born here but their parents were not. A person who breaks the law to get here is not entitled to stay. And if you want to wave the Mexican flag “with” the US flag, that’s ok. But if you want to take down the US flag and hang the one from south of the border, then move there, head south.

People who come to the US should learn to speak English and obey the laws. If they don’t want to do that then adios. Can you imagine what would happen to me if I went to Mexico and lowered tht Mexican flag to hand the US flag above it? The sad thing is we have been too soft on this issue for so long that now it will take harsher measures to rectify.

I see the current Republican bill does not take the difficult path but instead makes it easier for business to hire illegals. All talk on immigration, huh Republicans?

i seriously cant even believe all of this im only 15years old and i dislike these laws soo much ! im born here but hispanic and its so unfair how hispanics or immigrants are treated this way. Immigrants work hard here and they get paid what ever they are offered because they have no say in it. Why cant we just have a reform for all of those who really want to work and succeed in this country and dont have a criminal record. After all americans still go to other countries why cant other people be here and work all together to help this country instead of just fighting and being so racist against hispanics and other races , those who think immigrants are worthless and want them out of here seriously dont have any heart at all and if you go to church and believe in god you arnt doing what he asks and why dont you put yourself in their situation ? and instead of giving this law give a REFORM TO THOSE HARD WORKERS WITH NO CRIMINAL RECORD AND THAT DONT BREAK THE LAW !!!!

I’m not going to ctiticize someone who is willing to work to support themselves and their family. Many jobs illegal immigrants do Americans would not. Take my step son for example. He’s too good for so many jobs that he does nothing, instead he moochs off his mother.
The companies who hire the illegals do it because they know they can pay them a low wage and get away with it. That is who I blame. The companies can take advantage because who can the workers complain to? No one.

Unless you are a Native American Indian – All Americans are immigrants or ancestors of immigrants. We are a nation of MUTS. But then they say muts are supposedly smarter.

P.A.P. is absolutely right. The son of an illegal immigrant has no one
to blame but his father. IF WE ALLOW EVERYONE WHO JUMPS THE BOARDER
TO JUST BECOME A CITIZEN, WE WOULD BE STORMED WITH IMMIGRANTS . We do have to have rules, and everyone must follow them, illegals HAVE caused too much chaos as it is now. In my opinion it is even worse to have to spend my money for lawbreakers who shouldn’t even be here in the first place, we have quite enough of our own to house that can’t live by the rules. My grandfather
had to live by the rules to get in and so should everyone else.

■Oscar Sanchez , wrong! The fault became theirs when they jumped the border. That was the first mistake, and that was illegal and that therefore gave them no chance to become legal citizens. I realize the wait can be long to come to the United States legally, but others do it. It is not fair that an illegal get in and then want to apply for a legal standing, not when there are others waiting for a legal entry. So do I feel sorry for these people? Well yes, I feel sorry for them, because they used poor judgement and caused their families so much hurt. We LEGAL citizens and voters cause nothing!

I am an attorney and don’t know how to make people understand that the laws of this country do not allow for people to attain legality through “legal” means. For example, if you are the son of a Mexican immigrant who came here illegally, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you can do. Your spouse can be a U.S. citizen, your employer may wish to retain you, your kids may be born here etc. You have no path to legality, no legal means to be here legally because the law prevents you from it. Please read the laws and inform yourselves before you judge the thousands of people who through no fault of their own have been condemned to live in fear and shame.
