I realy welcome visitors to our country, the problem is there are too many of the wronge type of 'visitors' queing up to try to gain entry to this country. I am of course talking about the thousands of eastern 'drop-outs' illeagaly camping in Northern France to steal there way over the English Channel and beg, steal or 'borrow' from the kind hearted people of this lovely land. I say again, beg, steal, borrow, because these parasites arent coming here to add anything good to to our land. They are spongers and thieves who are looking for nothing other than a cheap handout from decent people who have fought, and paid life-long taxes for this country and its moral standards. Its time they were rounded-up and 'marched' back to where they came from. They should be trying to improve their own countries standards instead of trying to pull us down to their level.

  I may sound out of character in my tone of posting but we are only a small island and cannot absorb this type of migrant, and before the 'Human rights' brigade start jumping to their defence, I'm defending my right to live in peace in my own land with my own people in the land of my fathers.

England held out against invaders since 1066, so it's hard to see our land invaded, illegally or legally, but then  you have to remember that we went around the world trying to dominate, succeeding in some places and now we are paying the price.

For many years we, the British Empire, subdued the masses and now the masses are getting their own back.

Payback, it's not an easy pill to swallow.

Hi Michael.  We have the same problem here, and it's been going on forever.  The vast majority of the people who enter the US illegally are trying to escape grinding poverty in Mexico and Central America.  But now, with the increased drug wars, shrinking social services and government budgets, and human trafficking becoming a lucrative business, the criminal element is becoming more bold and visible.  And the American public is becoming outraged, although they were always willing to look the other way when all it meant was cheap labor.  As long as there's poverty there will be people trying to find a better life, and as long as there's money to be made over exploiting people, it will continue.

Ruth, you could not of said it any better, when my son was growing up and we had this influx of Californian's coming up, I use to ask the kids why their parents were coming up here in droves..and he said they don't want to be "house keepers" and I said what are you talking about...to which they tell me, the more moneyed people down there have "housekeepers"..usually Asian or hispanic..and they leave them to live in their houses while they travel the world (movie industry you know)...and he said because they don't need as high an income to live, they are keeping wages down so low, others can't afford to live in the state.. they said something else back then also...that the wealthy are buying older sections of cities to build massive "malls" as urban renewal..and it leaves the less expensive houses out of the market "forcing" the population to buy higher priced housing..most often ones they can't afford to begin with..so this was your "housing bubble" beginnings some 30 years ago. Hispancis have gone to living up here in "group families" renting one huge house and sharing expenses(one family I know there are 17 separate families in one house)..which is something as middle americans we don't encourage our kids to do, and if they move out away from mom and dad,makes it almost impossible to do...you have to have an higher income to maintain the one family house lifestyle..and not necessarily an fancy one. Older houses have been snapped up also, and prices raised on them as well...so what you have is an monoply on housing prices.  Yes, for the middle income Ameircans this influx of Hispanic from Mexico is an bitter probelm to most of us, and they are many times on welfare..which I understand from talking to them down in California has their local hospital in the red by billions of dollars also...once again it is the citizenry has to make up for the cost in the long run.I guess it gets to be these days an out an out border war down toward Mexico these days. Drive an older car, is it missing...it might of been one of the 300,000 older used American cars they found "stolen" in Mexico for redistrubution in the world recently...again raising used car prices here. They are getting more blantant all the time also. This weekend's newspaper an little girl under the state of Oregon custody because her parent died or abandoned her, they sent her back to live with relatives in Mexico..4 year old she was abused, burned, had patches of her hair missing, went into depsondency and is now dead. They want to come up and tell us how to do things..no way!!!   The newest thing here is "owning their own business" and they make sure anyone else totally fails at it if they try... from hispanic help hired...in short they have an "silent" underground "union" of hispanics already . Not only are they getting help from the Federal Government under "special needs help" in grants, but they are literally seeing to it that other "white" business oners can't make it as they come in an consume the local area income, cause remeber they aren't spending their money here..it's being sent back to Mexcio...when they are up here, they work for the whites and spend at the hispanic shops exclusiviely.  If they can stay on welfare they ususally have an better life then most white Eurporean rooted americans...plus they get to stay in huge luxurious houses as private "housekeepers". the jobs they like,,"key" background jobs where by your slowly made to be dependent on them...they work on them long enough to bring in more family until your the "housekeeper" to them at your own expense...as an American tax payer. I feel insulted by them at times, the fact that we allowed their politcians to come in to California from Mexico to campaign for Mexican votes, the fact that they now have as many if not more "Spanish" tv stations then there are English speaking stations, how about all the other foregin nationalites we havent' cater to in the past, that had to learn "Englsih".. the fact they get subsitized for their needs with hardly an question asked, private child care and schooling though "Head Start" funded by taxpayers,..while we fight to economically keep the public schools going.  Even our own "American born" hipanics are not getting the help these guys get. In the meantime, they yell "unfiarness" to us for wanting to protect our borders from their drugs and theft, and bascially raping Ameircan women to obtain American citizenship "automatically"...immunity because of the children born. That's probalby why they killed this little 4 year ols girl, she wasn't substidized by our country in some way...so they had no further need for her. It is an problem, and one they are going to to have to resolve, because they are seeing the states going soverign (breakign away)from the Federal Government an re-banding into an different country, one where by the citizens can protect themselves from them. Out of all the states there will be here soon 28 countries that are stating "states' rights" over the Federal Constitution which is violating the Bill of Right's and the Constitutional freedom of "self-protection" more or less for our American citizens..our State's do not have to abide by "treaties" by by our Federal Government under such an act. I think if they can do business here, they can stay down in Mexico and do business there..pay their taxes to their Govenment and be an country instead of an "hang on" to us...spongging us dry, and I think they woul dhave mroe respect fo rthemselves in doing also. It's been this last year several times out and out miltary style gun warfare going on along the borders, esp. Texas recently...and the drug cartel. They have been the ones "pushing" the issue, not us.
