Glenda you make some excellent points. The illegal immigrant problem and the cost has been placed on the back of the working Americans for years. There are people that have been in this country illegally for over 20 yrs that have NEVER learned to speak English. And yet, I personally have been turned down for jobs that I otherwise qualified for, because of one simple thing, I could NOT speak Spanish. Yes, discrimination is alive and well in this country against the people that are legal citizens. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE should be required to speak a FOREIGN language in their own country to get a job unless they are applying to be a translator. School taxes, county hospital taxes, the cost of car insurance for those of us that actually carry it, all things that are through the roof and in large part because of the illegal alien problem. If you have ever seen the reports on TV of the swearing in ceremony's for citizenship, people from all over the world come to this country and they LEGALLY apply for citizenship and they all learn to speak ENGLISH! We don't hire people to speak vietnamese, Chinese, Russian or french to work at our insurance agency's. county offices, and Dr's offices. And I am betting the majority of the people in this country illegally will not apply for citizenship and go through the steps it takes to become legal. They don't want to learn English, they don't want to pay taxes and they don't want to but car insurance. They want it just how they have it. Something for nothing.

Great points. I agree completely with your comments. I currently work with someone that is from Russia. He came to this country and the first thing he did was learn ENGLISH. He learned by watching TV shows etc. He went to college and now has a degree. All the while working here, paying lots of taxes, following the rules requited and working toward becoming a legal citizen. It is a great story.
Anyone here illegally should be deported. Period. I am tired of all of the exceptions - yada yada yada. Tough.
You, me and everyone else is paying the price for not enforcing the immigration laws or at the very least writing laws that can actually be enforced!
This is one topic that I will never, ever change my mind on.
