It isn't who is coming, caniel, it is the sheer numbers, the way they are coming (illegally) and the drain on our economy.
The dynamics of immigration now are totally different than in the 1800's when people came here not expecting to root their nose in the government subsidized trough with benefits that citizens don't even have access to.

And I'm no Nazi, bigot, skinhead or racist. I'm simply for enforcing the laws of the land and stopping ILLEGAL immigration.
I'm not against LEGAL immigration.

Secure the border ... phase those that are illegal in ... help solve our Social Security mess while we're at it ... or you will have paid into SSI for naught ....

So what was the march all about, then? Jobs? Nope. It was about ENTITLEMENT! You just said "most work full time jobs .. some hold 2-3 jobs." Yet there were hundreds and thousands marching last year for one thing . . . not jobs . . . they were demanding the benefits of citizens. ie They demanded this because they feel entitled to it.
Si se puede . . . not a demand for jobs. It's a demand to give all ILLEGALs the benefits that comes with being a US Citizen.

You're so dead wrong on your assessment of the marching last year ... that I refuse to continue this biased-ridden conversation any longer ....
They are vital part of this economy ... and you can continue to stick your head in the Arizona sand ... which btw belonged to Mexico

Here we go again . . . "biased ridden." What, and YOU'RE not being biased here? You can't admit that the marches were exactly about what I wrote above. It wasn't about jobs. It wasn't about freedom.
It was all about entitlement. They marched to demand equal rights as citizens. They marched to demand that Congress reward their law-breaking actions and grant them amnesty.

Pure myth. What they put into the economy is overshadowed by what they steal from it through free government assistance, healthcare and education.

The militia men mentality in the Church .... man, oh, man ....
One day you'll sit in traffic ... because all construction projects are halted ... due to your flawed assessment of the nation's economy and you'll wonder ... what happened ..???
