Immigration Options

[kayleighSTFU]

So I'm from Reno, NV and Thursday ICE came and invaded all of the McDonald's here and deported like all these people back to Mexico. And it made me really mad because you know I'm white and i was born in California and all these people were posting all these comments up on the news channel website saying stuff like "finally! they get all these Mexicans out of our country and [blah blah blah]" and it makes us all look bad. This country was founded by people coming from other countries. that's what the USA is. I understand it's better to do it the legal way but why deport them? They aren't hurting anyone. They aren't blowing up schools or attacking our government buildings. they're just trying to work and feed their families.

it's just so frustrating to me. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?


It's just sad...you know?

Why deport them? Well I don't know maybe because they take f**king advantage of the government's money? They don't even pay taxes yet they get f**king health care and public education. My family is an immigrant family. All of us waited six years to immigrate to the United States, and we started out terribly. Besides the fact that my parents didn't have a career, they had to pay for f**king taxes mexicans don't want to pay for.

Call me racist or ignorant I don't give a shit.

I understand though why they would immigrate illegally. It's really hard to get into America. Petitioning someone can take up to 20 years if they even get accepted!

And KarmaKiller, the situation is similar in terms of huge immigration scale going on, but really it's different. Immigration laws back then were different. America encouraged immigration back in the 1800s. And it wasn't that hard to become a legal immigrant. But now we can't just let anyone in. We're trying to control the population.
