I see plenty of posters in here that don't like immigrants
Tourists sure don't get health and background checks to visit here.
For the record, Democrat Progressive Roosevelt restricted even legal immigration and had Japanese, Italian, and Germans interned.
Plato's Republic: So if I have read it, am I supposed to magically accept Communism because Plato incorporated it in his writings?

you're correct, 'tourists' just come as they are, no restrictions whatsoever. you don't get out much, do ya ?
ps ... to get a US passport, a background check will be done.

There have been thousands of citizens killed because of illegals, many of who were deported and returned countless times over. It's a revolving door. Feel safe?
Why would I feel afraid? There have been millions of citizens killed by Americans. Fear your neighbor? Or do you only fear him if he's Mexican, or some other form of Latin immigrant?
You're making no sense.
Good God, if you want open borders, it's an open invitation to pedophiles, murderers, thieves and anyone else who just pops over. We have borders and laws to protect people. What country allows just anyone to come over without a health and background check?

Deaths caused by illegals could have been prevented!!!!!!!
How can anyone not possibly comprehend this??????
To ask if I only fear Mexican and Latin immigrants is ridiculous. Our illegals come from all over the world. Never presume!
For no other culture have we ever had to cater to on the level that we have for the spanish speaking population
All others have learned and use english enough so that we don't need to press one for english or learn a foreign language to get a job.
Interesting how it wasn't until we ended up with millions of illegals did we encounter such a huge language problem.
English is the language most used here. Do we go around speaking chinese, russian or any other language?
Why only spanish?
When people come from other countries do you expect them to learn english AND spanish when neither is their native tongue?
What language unites us all here in the USA?
With the hundreds of languages spoken here, should I learn them all?
We came here to live and learned the language of the country, why shouldn't they?

Agreed. Star, and thank you for replying. I hope you read the rest of my posts...that's what I've been talking about. Who is really to blame? It's not the people who are suffering.
pics please
Are you aware that in Florida, in the deep south, where your kind of thinking is most pronounced, that FDR is the picture hanging on the wall in the locals' barbecue joints?

Would you honestly say that to someone who has lost a loved one because of an illegal and our laws not being enforced???
What laws? The deportation rate is extremely high under the Obama admin.

Would you say that to the poor citizen who is jobless and suffering because o illegals??? Would you say that to the child who was raped by an illegal??? Oh yes, people do indeed get emotional and rightly so.
I don't get this point because all of this is happening regardless if illegals are in the country or not. Appeal to emotion fail.
We arn't forced to press 1 for english because of any Canadian illegal. We are not forced to speak spanish to get a job because of any Canadian illegal.
We're forced to read French on most labels because of Canadians. The horror.
Still, illegal is illegal. We have laws for a reason. It doesn't matter what country you are from, come legally.
Cool. People driving without a seat belt is illegal too....I'm not getting emotional over it. There is a reason why people get so emotional over illegal immigration and it isn't because of "laws", as most of us break laws on a daily basis. You better not go 1mph over the speed limit! Laws man, laws..
Have fun bowing to your master, the state.
