Alas, people and their petty differences...

Here's the thing, there isn't one grain of sand on this Earth that has the right to be "claimed" by anyone. Where is it written that the Earth is a piece of property, more so, how can any human, or ethnicity for that matter, consider it "just" to stake a claim to something that isn't and never will be their property?

This is where "people" get confused and caught up in their minuscule existence in this vast Universe. The why and how of our existence is comprised of many different origins based on one's belief. None the less, Earth was here long before you and chances are it will be here long after you.

Ownership of property (land or otherwise) is an illusion. I am 99.9% positive you won't be taking it with you when you "go". If that was the case, there wouldn't be much of an Earth left as everyone would have taken their "little piece" with them.

This precious commodity that is our Earth, could be gone in the blink of an eye. Cherish it, and everything in it and on it, your time to do so is but a drop in the bucket.

if the jobs are there for the taking, then why don't the unemployed u.s citizens then take them.
If you know there are illegals, then report them.

So you would have no problem with me coming to your home and taking it over?

All of the illegals should be rounded up and held in FEMA camps until we can ship them to their nation of origin (who will receive a bill).

Please tell me this is a joke.

You don't think people have tried that already? If that worked i don't think we would be in this situation...

Last week, I went to a Las Vegas Home Depot to see if there were any workers who wanted to make the going rate of $10/hour. Among the illegal Mexicans I saw white guys. So much for Americans not wanting those jobs. White Americans were sitting right there with the Mexicans hoping someone would come pick them up. When I was in high school, I did a job description manual for a tortilla company. Everyone who worked there at every level was a Mexican. I decided I'd ask for a job. They made it seem like it was the most absurd idea in the world. As if I couldn't stand on the line with the tortillas. Bottom line is, businesses only want to hire Mexicans who speak Spanish. White guys like myself don't have a chance. If I want to work for the government, I need to be bilingual. That doesn't mean English and French; it means English and Spanish. People working for the government have no degrees. The only skill they have is speaking Spanish. They'll never get fired. They're set for life with retirement and health benefits. And the only people they want to help are other Mexicans. Those people you see marching are legal Mexican-American citizens taking sick days from their bilingual jobs. They sure know how to work the system, don't they?

what i hate is that if your wanting all illegals out of this country, people assume your a racist, and thats crap. I also think it's a slap in the face to all the people who have and are waiting years to become legal, and all an illegal has to do is cross the border and "Boom" job,benefits and a home in less than a month. To defend an illegal and what they are doing is un American and you yourself deserve to be deported for such crap.

No matter how good you think your plan is, it just isn't going to happen. First off you can't send a bill to a sovereign nation for actions that you have taken even if it involves their citizens.

Second if history is any indicator the next step is amnesty. Amnesty has been given on six occasions since 1986. Everytime US citizens complained. Each and every time their demands went unacknowledged.

Just accept the fact that short of a revolution of sorts with real numbers behind it your will will not be done.

if a job has a requirement for speaking spanish, then not knowing how to speak spanish won't get you a job in the first place, find work elsewhere.

illegals still need someone in tptb to find them first, before anything can be done about them. how can they be found if no one reports them, and how can they be stopped from crossing borders without enough control.
