And where do they send most of their money?

GSP

Its time to close the borders and ports and airports to imigration. This country is being ransacked by "gosh darn" imagrants that are just here to leach of the people that made this country great.

Probably home to Mexico. On the flip side, when they go back to Mexico they take back a LOT of stuff bought in America, such as cars, TV's, microwaves, computers and lot's more. All this is money made and spent in America. Does that help to compensate in any way? I have no way of knowing. Does anybody?

There are places here that make a good living turning the immegrants pay checks into money orders going to Mexico. Then they live several to an apartment to get by and share cars and trucks. I'm sure they take some of the things back with them, if and when they go. Daily, there are convoys of cars and trucks, each one towing another, going south to the border. They, or someone, buys the old junkers at auctions up north and sell them in Mexico for a profit. Whoever sold the vehicles are making a little money, but once they make it to Mexico, we never see a penny in road, gas or other taxes like we pay.
Then, that brings up the lack of insurance for most illeagles. My daughter has been hit twice and my sister-in-law once by illeagles with no insurance. Needless to say, we pay through the nose for uninsured motorist coverage, but we don't dare go without it. And, by the way, they were given tickets, but the cops told me they would disappear and never go to court or pay a fine. Finally, some cities are impounding cars that are stopped or in a wreak, and don't have liability insurance. No fines and no jail, but at least they have to spend for another junker.

Don't get me wrong...I don't blame these people for wanting a better life. If I was in their place, I'd probably be doing the same thing. All I want is for them to be here legally, pay taxes and insurance and live buy the rules the rest of us do. And, oh yea.......SPEAK ENGLISH.

Mexstan

You mean that when I visit your country you want me to talk English ....like the rest of you Americans????

Let's calm down. We don't want to get this thread closed.

I look at it this way. Native Americans were the first immigrants, then came the rest of us european yahoos, then blacks, then asians. Then we fought about it killed off abunch on both sides or the gray/blue line. Then we needed more workers so more asians came in, more germans, swedes, poles, ect. Then we got rich and lazy so now we needed more workers so we looked the other way for 50 years while 11 million mexicans & south americans streamed acrossed our borders.

Each time the immigrant wave comes into this country there is a backlash against them. Believe it ot not that is what makes America great. Swedes, poles, germans, czecks, indians, asians, africans, ext. We all expect each other to conform to the rules and we get all indignant when they don't (or it seems they don't) This assimilation has been going on for 250 years now and it has not hurt America it has made us stronger. Being a part of a "group" is what makes us want to out due the other guy. "I'm better than you cause I live here." "I'm better than you cause I drive a Dodge." "I'm better than you cause I'm white." "I was here first so I'm better than you." It is this "competition" that drives us forward to greatness.

This is what the radical muslums terrorists cannot understand about Americans, and why they will never win. We are from alot of countries governed by laws not people. AND we get our strenght from trying to be better than the guy next door, or my state is better than your state, or.....

But I agree, we need to close the borders to ILLEGAL immigration.

GSP

What are you saying? So you think its OK for imigrants to enter the U.S. just to take advantage of government programs , get money or services then leave or stay and live off the system and not work or pay taxes?
