I have never read such words. I am so glad that the immigration, and the naturalizaiton laws, are so strict.
I have never liked Mexicans. Or anyone that doesn't speak our language. I hoped that in my lifetime they would just shoot them when they cross the border, of at least kill pregnant women who come to this country to have "Drop" babies.
This was one of the funniest, and saddest stories I have read about immigrants. Funny because so many died and I don't have to support them. Sad because to many more didn't.
Stay away and live. Come here. And die, you fucking wetbacks.

ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL. This behavior demonstrates they have no respect for the current laws and will not abide by the established norm. So why do we need these vermin? Let corporate america hire the "gaste arbeite" like they do in Germany. End of season, out you go.

Illegal is NOT a race. It is a crime.
and its seems like you are a traitor that supports it.

These illegals will stop at nothing to subvert the laws of this great nation. There will be unintended consequences.

"he entered the United States in 1988 along with his parents, who were fleeing people they owed money to"
So they borrowed money and then skipped on paying it back? That's called stealing where I'm from. So not only are they breaking our laws, they're wanted fugitives in Mexico too? Great, because we certainly don't have enough felons in the US already .

Hi Esmeralda,
I do feel for the people who have come here illegally and have to make other arrangements, but to come here illegally burdens our states and nation with many who do not pay taxes and obey the laws. As Ken states above: No one is trying to drive IMMIGRANTS out. We welcome immigrants unless perhaps the parents of this author who ought to be embarassed. Illegal criminals are those that do not renounce their old citizenship in favor of US Citizenship via a PROCESS that millions and millions have followed. You spit in the faces of my relatives who fought to come here, follow the rules/laws, and immigrate legally. An immigrant is one who does the above. A criminal is one who breaks US laws most specifically Federal Immigration law. You are not an immigrant just because you crossed the border. I too have grandparents who immigrated legally and they did NOT have a guarantee of being accepted into the United States, but they went through the legal process and were finally accepted, met here, had a family, NEVER lived on the system and raised 4 productive, patriotic U.S. citizens who were "American citizens" first and foremost, not considered as a secondary citizenship. Esmeralda, here in Arizona and the other bordering states to Mexico there is a huge problem with pregnant women crossing the border from Mexico so they can give birth here in an American hospital, never to pay a bill and provide them their first "Anchor baby" to allow them to stay in the U.S. Then, baby after baby continues to give them more and more years here living for near to nothing and receiving every kind of assistance many may have never even hear of. Illegal immigration is wrong, unethical and ILLEGAL!! Now is the time when people are finally standing up and saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Im glad that people realize that illegal immigrants aren't only mexicans. I agree that some people should not be allowed in our country especially when they just want to live off the system. But it really makes me mad when people say that just because illegal mammas got pregnant and had kids here doesn't make them citizens. Well I have to tell you that I am one of those babies and guess what my mom came here to work hard for herself and for us she has to pay taxes and she doesn't get any of the money taken out out, so really the government is benefiting in that case. I don't agree that illegals that are criminals should be allowed to live here but there are people such as my family that obey the laws and just want to be left alone. My husband is an anglo and I am thankful to say that he didn't have to file to get me papers. I agree with you guys to a point but you also need to see it from a differnet perspective. PEACE TO ALL!!

Reading the 5 listed comments surprised me that there are none that are really pro-illegal immigration.
Yeay! Living 60 miles from the border in Southern AZ I can tell you our lives have changed tremendously. From our schools being overcrowded with illegal students who say openly that "this is not my country, we are only here for what we can get . . .", our ER's overrun, our hospitals being required to birth illegal babies, state welfare, and the list goes on. Another disgusting aspect is these illegals who get food stamps, healthcare, WIC, housing or assistance along with utilities keep having babies because it brings more money in and momma just stays at home with them. No, she doesn't work, she lives the life at home with her kids that we can't afford to, of course unless we just want to "live on the system". Thank you all for having the courage to make your comments.
Christiana, shame on you for complaining about National Security! You made a bad decision and point your finger in another direction. Grow up and face the music. Time to be accountable for your poor decisions. I am sorry you were used, however, you were a part of allowing the problem.
Thank you all. It is amazing how even with the massive support throughout all 50 states for AZ's move to begin enforcing what the Federal Gov't has not, the media keeps singing the same song and it's waaay off tune.

The horrible part is not that Jose's degree is worthless. The horrible part is that Jose was allowed to attend college here in the first place. And, most illegals are certainly NOT culturally American; they are here to overturn and to "take back" territory they mistakenly believe belongs to them.
Nice piece of emo propaganda, right down to the lie about the spirit and the letter of the Arizona law. Great work.

I believe it was Juana who said, "F the system".
Well the system getting fucked here is our system. And if you ask me it used to work pretty well. It's all about her and what she thinks.
Westword-- Please STOP lumping illegal immigrants and legal immigrants together. They are not the same breed.

And furthermore, just because you get knocked up and pooch out a child on our soil that does not make them a citizen of the USA. Get a clue or get the hell out of MY country.

This is not just a Mexican immigrant problem. I was recently uped into marrying a man from China. He swore his love, support, and life to me. Then, as soon as the temporary card came in, I was a piece of furniture. To make things worse, he then started being a husband once again when it became time for his permanent application to be filed.
Upon receiving his permanent status, he cut me out of his life, literally and figuratively. The card was recieved on the second Friday of Oct 2009. He took my name off of all accounts on the following Monday and brought all of my personal effects to my home, from our apartment, on Tuesday. He informed me that I was not welcome at his apartment anymore, and he would not be coming to my home either.
The INS and Boarder Patrol both informed me that once he received his permanent status card, there was nothing I could do.
How is that for National Security?
