The point of all this is that somethig needs to be done about the amount of illegal immigrant enter the United States everyday, because in the end we all end up paying for it. Plus if you want to live here so bad then just learn the freaking language. and no Corona is not english. I have no idea what could be done but it should be addressed.maybe snipers every few miles to shoot at people who make the run for the USA, not kill them or even shoot them just in the general direction of where their going. but anyway this is long enough lets hear what all of you have to say.
I disagreed but understood your point until here. The people that cross are not very different from you or me. They want to improve their lives, I cant fault them for that. Now you suggest snipers firing at them? You took the wrong fork in the road there.

As to your point about learning the language... they ARE trying. I live in Texas and have seen litterally 100:1 student:teacher ratio of people TRYING to learn English. How about learning Spanish? When my great-grand parents came to America they could only speak German, my great-grandma died at age 97 without me being able to even have a conversation to her. You have any idea how we'd be changed if they were fired upon after getting off the boat?

Are they taking jobs away from you? No, you admitted to it. They are filling a vital role of low wage workers that have become scarce as the College Educated population has exploded. Sorry but High School kids cant take all of those jobs.

The 80% of the Illegal aliens are ruining it for the 20% of the people who want more than to basicly steal from the country. they make it hard for people to get here legally to live here legally and hopefully some day become a citizen of this great country.
The problem with this, is that those 20% have connections inside the Mexican Government to speed things up. So those 20% are the more wealthy, so much for "Give Me Your Poor... " huh?

I do agree we need stability, but I fear the Coyotes and other groups more than the guy coming to America to feed his family (Coyotes are those who bring hundreds of Mexicans in the back of tractor trucks, and dump them in the desert locked if they feel police is on them... leading to deaths of thousands if not millions to date). You ever hear the song by Union Underground called South Texas Death Ride? Yeah thats about the Coyotes. People above San Antonio dont seem to know about them or understand how dangerous they are. I live in Austin currently and no one has a clue about it.

It's not colonialization, they are happy with taking their spot at the BOTTOM of the totem pole, if they were colonizing they'd be taking over the resources/government/etc while right now they're the poorest and least represented group in the entire US.
