Learned helplessness is America's biggest problem.

Cocoa, to learned helplessness I would add entitlement. Each generation adds a little more to the sense of entitlement and learned helplessness. Entitlement programs of any sort should almost always have an end goal to them and then people would not learn to be helpless.

There you go getting all sensible. I think ICE should be sitting outside of every Home Depot arresting each and every citizen that breaks the federal law and giving each illegal alien a one way ticket to San Francisco.

I think illegal immigration is just this Administration trying to distract us from all the unethical, illegal and treasonous things they have done and are doing.

Are you an illegal alien? If not, do you live in a border state? If you live in a border state, you wouldn't have said what you did, either that are you have no idea of the hundreds of billions of dollars being spent by the USA as a result of the ILLEGALS.

I would like to know why do we have to pay for illegal aliens when our own people can't get the services they need but yet illegals get welfare.I have no problem if an alien want come to this country but do it in the right way.

Illegal immigration is not the problem. Immigrants are in our country legally. They have asked and received permisson to come to our country. They come to take advantage of our education and employment opportunities. Immigrants acknowledge that they are not true citizens. They acknowledge that they are here as a courtesy. They understand that when their visas expire they will be required to reapply for an extention or they will go back to their own country.

Illegal aliens don't apply for permission to enter the country; they sneak into the country. And once in, they ignore the laws of the land and steal from tax-paying citizens. How do they steal? Many drive cars/trucks without legal licenses or insurance. If they get into an accident with a legal driver, the legal driver has no oportunity to collect damages because the illegal alien has no money. The legal driver is left with a totalled car and medical bills. They could end up losing their job and everything because someone snuck in and decided to break the laws of our land.

Once in our country illegal aliens send their children to our already over-crowded schools forcing our over-worked and under-paid teachers to spend their time helping children whose parents don't pay taxes; while the children of tax-paying adults get ignored.

Illegal aliens also send their families to clinics for free medical services using up resourses that could be used to help tax-paying citizens.

People leave the immigrants alone. They aren't doing anything wrong. In fact, many immigrants EARN their citizenship by completing the requiremens for citizenship.

Illegal aliens don't want to become United States citizens because then they'd have to pay taxes. We NEED to uphold the laws already written and force those who are here illegally to apply for visas and live here legally or go home.

WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD REALISE THAT USA IS A COUNTRY OF IMMIGRANTS, FROM GENERATIONS TO GENERATIONS. EVEN MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT KICKING AGAINST IMMIGRANTS ARE GENERATIONS OF IMMIGRANTS CHILDREN THEMSELVES HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN THEIR ROOT. USA IS WHAT IT IS TODAY BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSITIES AND THE BIBLE PROPHECY IN BOOK OF DANIEL PROPHECIES THAT IN THE LAST DAY PEOPLE WILL MOVE TO AND FRO. USA IS BLESSED NOT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE ARE SMART BUT BECAUSE GOD BLESSED THIS COUNTRY. THE FOUNDING FATHERS, MAJORITY OF THEM ARE GODLY PEOPLE WHOSE GENERATIONS MOVE HERE FROM EUROPE BECAUSE OF PERSECUTION. ECONOMICALLY IMMIGRANTS ARE THE BACK BONE. PLEASE LEAVE THEM ALONE.
