With the recent Kennedy-Bush alliance (polar opposites at that) for the naturalization of illegal immigrants, a lot of people have come out strongly opposed to the idea and are quite unhappy that bush just brought it back up after the idea was killed.
Is there anyone out there that thinks it should be something that happens? If yes, please explain as I'm curious to see if there is another side (other than the politicians) to this issue and I want to know what makes you see it that way or where your opinions are derived from. Keeping in mind taxes, social security (haha as if that's going to last), unemployment, and them taking advantage of what's free in the nation (i.e. medicine/education) without putting back into the system. |

They're already here and there's no way we're going to kick all of them out. Last year, when I was getting Medi-Cal, I realized you don't have to be an American Citizen to receive that aid from California. I thought it was a bit ridiculous.
I'm kind of for it. If they're already here, then they should pay their taxes and all that like we do. |

If they get put into the system and have to pay taxes, some will find ways around it as Mercy said. Then they'll start to want social security, which is already f**ked up enough as it is. And although I speak a little bit of spanish, I don't want to relearn it and become fluent again lol. |

Yeah, and they're practically invading Florida. Farming is still a fairly big industry, so they flock here to pick the strawberries and oranges. And then they eventually get tired of those jobs, and move on to other things. My God, if they got social security, that would INSURE that it wont be there for us when we're older. I agree - there's already tons of billboards and other things in Spanish in alot of places... I cant even imagine what it would be like if they got amnesty. Watch the Spanish language take over. I have no problem with having to learn it in school, but it just bugs me that its needed for alot of jobs these days. ENGLISH is our official language, not Spanish. We need to stop catering to people. |
