Hi, my name is Karem and I am a Peruvian Inmigrant, my husband is also peruvian, we live here for 5 years. We have a little 9 month old boy. Well I was thinking so much about people that live in this country, the inmigrants, but the ones that live under the shadow of ilegals. They also have kids. The other day on TV there was a show on a spansh channel about the people that are being deported and that have kids born americans. Hoe the kids are going through so much stress thinking that their parents can be deported in any minute. I was terrified thinking all that anger and stress that these kids live daily, how this is afecting them, what can cause this anger in themselves when they grow up... Will they carry so much anger against people that they can harm society????

 

My father was a doctor, he won many years ago a contest to work and do some research in the University of Denver Colorado, we moved from Peru to Denver when I was 6, my father worked there sor 3 years, then he decided that he did not want to raise us in the United States because in my school I was a victim of racist ataques by a boy from my class room. Still I grew up and decided to come back and live here. But the problem is that I worry that later on all this inmigration problems are afecting the kids that later on will be tha adults in this society.

 

I just wanted to know what you think about this, how all this issue will afect emotionally and sicologically to this sons and daughters of people that will be deported to their countries.

children are in the middle

I feel bad for the children of the illegals.  What bothers me is that no one seem to address the parents of these children.  The children wouldn't be in this mess if the parents weren't illegal. It was the decision or unintended actions of the parents to have children when they knew they weren't in this country legally.  I think some people use the children as an excuse to get around the system. It just seems like no one ever addresses that.  To prevent such things, maybe they should change the law.  No child born in the U.S. is an American unless one of the parents is a legal citizen. I have no problems with immigrants.  My grandfather came to America when he was 21 from Scotland and my aunt is Mexican. I could careless where people come from as long as their legal like everyone else. It's not the law that puts the children thru  this, it's the actions of the parents in my opinion

 I agree that any child born in the USA should have one parent be a citizen.  How often do we hear its alright for Illegal to stay because they have an american born child, so that makes it alright for them to continue being illegal like not paying taxes, taking our social security numbers braking our laws in the name of "There child was born here".

These children some in High school in CXalifornia this year flew a Mexican flag at the top of a flag pole with the American flag below it upside down. (flying an American flag upside down is a DISTRESS sign, and our country sure is in distress when our elected Senators vote not to make ENGLISH our national language.

Illegal Immigrants

I think that the government should address the issue by first, closing our borders until the immigrants that are already here are dealt with. Secondly, by expediting the process of becoming citizens for any illegals that wish to do so. Thirdly, by deporting any illegals that do not wish to become legal citizens, or are fugitives of justice.
While these things are being dealt with, perhaps they could come up with a more efficient way to process those coming in at the borders (legally), and re-open the borders then.

Children of illegal immigrants

I am tired of all the sad stories plastered on the front of our newspaper about the poor children of illegal immigrants. They are not the responsibility of our goverment to educate, feed, provide free health care when their parents get deported.

About Inmigrants

LEGAL Immigrants and ILLEGAL immigrants are two different things.
I myself a legal citizen of the United States can live here legally.  Illegal immigrants they steal jobs because they work for under minimum wage and such.  They get into car accidents and have no insurance.

Children of Illegals

Perhaps it is time to change the law that makes the children of illegals an automatic citizen.  There should be no trauma.  The kids go w/their parents.  Our taxes are paying for all of these services for illegals, and there are MANY citizens who would benefit by these tax dollars.  And unless something is done quickly by Congress and not vetoed (as promised) by Bush, we the average families will be hit with a tremendous rise in taxes.  We cannot, nor should not, be the caregivers of the world.  There comes a time when we must take care of our own.

I have 2 different views

1st view - Nobody has the right to be in a country illegaly. That is just plain and simple.

 

Ok now where things are not so black and white. Most of the illegal Mexicans are not stealing the good jobs from US citizens. Most of the men work for construction companies.I have heard from contractors that they would rather have Mexican workers because whites and blacks are too lazy or too prejudice to actually get the work done. Mexicans want to be there they work hard and have little complaint. Now I am still not saying that any of that is right. It is what it is and I am going by what I have seen happen in Tulsa Ok. the city has one the highest percentages of illegal Mexicans.

 

Right now I hear in Tulsa Ok that a lot of the Mexicans legal or not are being treated very poorly by the police and everyone else. The police arrest anyone that even looks Mexican steals their identification keeps them in solitude does not let them talk to anybody and then deports them before anyone even finds out they are gone. There have been more than a few cases where this has happened to legal citizens or Mexicans with work visas. Oh and when someone is deported they just drop them off in Mexico with absolutely nothing but the cloths on their backs. Also yes when someone is deported they take the children that are born in the US and say they are state property. This is what I have a huge problem with. They should give the parents a choice of where there children should stay and give them the option of leaving them in America with relatives rather than throw them in orphanages. If the parents decide to keep the children with them in Mexico then the child should have the right to return to the states whenever they want to.

 

Honestly I am was getting sick of all the illegal Mexicans everywhere not even bothering to learn English. The men treating women like objects. Constantly staring and glaring at anything female. Saying cat calls drinking all the time and playing there loud circus music. I can't stand people who are not considerate of other. Really unless they have commited a horrible crime then they should at least be treated like human beings.The cops that are arresting everyone that even looks Mexican need to be beat. I can't even go back to Tulsa Ok and go anywhere in the city alone. When I do go back I always have to be with somebody that is white so if I do get arrested then they know what happened and can get me out. If I were alone then i could possibly get deported to Mexico even though I am not Mexican and speak English with an American accent.

Concerned !

I have a very different oppinion than most people on this subject.This subject effects me personally,im happily married to a illegal  immigrant.I believe that this is all racism plain and simple.My Husband has tried time and time again for a visa and been rejected without a reason why.This is not right, he has no criminal record, he OWNS LAND HERE in the USA and in Mexico, has paided and filed taxes since hes been here. So far we have spent over $22,000 trying to get him leagal.That is a crime to take someones money like that and use it on education,roads,and etc.. then tell them you have no right to be here.But when the USA needs help who do we ask first? Who came here to help with the rebuilding of New Orleans? Who came to our side to fight the California wild fires? MEXICANS FROM MEXICO !! I know  a lot of illegal Mexicans here. Some are the best people , some are trouble makers and i have personally seen alot of them be approved?. But those here with wifes and children who are citizens, no criminal record,and paying & filing taxes should have the right to stay over those here with no family ,with DUI , criminal records,not filing taxes,just looking to make a quick buck and go back to Mexico. If we send back all illegals their yearly tax money goes with them. We will have to pay higher taxes to make up for all that extra tax money. Every Illegal i know has taxes took out of each check but most dont file taxes so thats alot of extra money.
 I think we should be more concerned about China right now targeting our children with lead! They are going to WIPE US OUT and we are to worried about illegal immigrants to stop them.
We need to stop the racism and hating that we are teaching our young generation or.... Jena 6 and nooses ..... need i say more .     God help us!                 WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN  !!!!!!!

My best friend's husband was deported a week before his papers were to be approved. He was in his car outside of a club listening to music while he waited for someone to pick him up because he had been drinking. Well a cop comes up to him and arrest him for a DUI when he was not even driving. My friend was going to divorce him anyway but he still has a child here that needs her father. It is racism. The government has waited too long to try to take care of the problem and now there are too many here so the government is trying to get rid of them all without even treating them like human beings.

 

About the lead thing. Most of the companies that were using lead paint were owned by Americans who are too cheap to use better paint. Another thing is that the lead in the paint is over the limit that is allowed but ist still pretty harmless unless you consume large amounts of it.

 

i think the border patrol is getting stricter mainly because there are Muslim extremist sneaking in through Mexico. I think we should be more concerned with screening Arabs and getting rid of the illegal Arabs and other illegals. We should not just get rid of the Mexicans.
