Tue Jun 03, 2008 20:50:12 Independent United States of America	rticle: The Hispanic Institute Proposes CNN Boycott; Cites Lou Dobbs’ “Anti-Immigration” Crusade http://www.alipac.u s/modules.php?name= Forums&file=vie wtopic&p=697772 Even the title twists the issue--it's anti ILLEGAL immigration. They seek to silence the truth and freedom of speech because they have no facts to support their positions.

Wed May 07, 2008 12:27:37 Rigo Mexico	Tonia Simmons, Is your message a response to mine? If so, I am not sure you really read mine, because yours has nothing to do in what I have been saying in my messages. I pretty much agree in what you say, I did not supported ilegal immigration in no way. Rigo

Thu Apr 24, 2008 20:44:54 tonya simmons USA	Encouraging illegal immigration into the United States is not right. As for the portion of the states you say belong to Mexico that ain't right either. All that happened ions ago. The people responsible for it are long gone dead. The ones living now should not be punished and slandered for something they had no hand in. Their were not alive when The Alamo and the rest occured. Get mad at the dead and not the living if you want. And if you can not get past history and learn from it, then go see a pyschiatrist. That is called being overly obssessive about a past event that you were not their for so you are not entitled to slandering the current living. You are also slandering the reputations of those immigrants that here in The States legally. What gives you the right to encourage people to break the law? What gives you the right to say that our laws (Americans) mean nothing? Who gave you that right? No one. It is not your God-given or law-given right to exercise. You are encouraging to people to disregard the law. Without law and order, there is nothing but a huge mess. That is what your company is encouraging. No where in The Constitution does it say your company can do this. What you are encouraging should get your company in trouble legally with The FCC and National Immigration. Your company is breaking the law by being an accomplice or encouraging illegal behavior. That is how I see it. I am not against Mexicans. I know some. One of my best friends is here legally from Mexico. She came to the States legally, it would be unfair to her and those like her who came legally, for you to encourage illegal immigration. The day your company gets dragged into court over this, is the day I would be happy along with those that are here legally in this Country.
Mon Apr 21, 2008 18:39:20 Rigo Mexico	Kristina, thanks for these articles, you seem so documented, your messages are so much educationals that those shitty and rude ones that come from some other of your conationals in this chat. I would like to have some tequilas and discuss about this world in one of our beautiful beaches at the Riviera Maya (you see Toby, my country worths something, at least we have some beaches..haha). As for what you say about that idiot-mentality of some mexicans you met when you lived in L.A., by saying that land "belongs" to them, neither myself nor many many Mexicans down here think that way. Itīs like if I was chanting in the streets against Spaniards to ask them to return all the wealth they took away for the Crown 5 centuries ago...LET IT GO!!! I think itīs time for those fool Mexicans to get over with this crap that California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas belongs to us, because and do either legalize their stay in USA or come back and make what indeed belongs to us which is our Mexican territory a better place to live!! Besides that, having all that territory for US would have meant probably extend our social and economic problemas two latitudes north in the map, I donīt think we would be much better!! Jessica, I fully agree in all you say, itīs brave to fight against outlaws, call them Mexican ilegals, blondies Americans, african americans, asians, europeans, etc. and yeah Mexican ilegals in USA are just that ilegals. Best regards to all and VIVA MEXICO!! (Proud to be)
Mon Apr 21, 2008 18:26:01 Alexandra Castro	Jessica Banda Stop assuming that everyone here on this site against illegal immigration is white. Grow a brain. I am of MEXICAN descent and I am utterly completely against illegal immigration. I know that must hard for you to understand. Like I have said before, I will not condone illegal behaviour just because someone is of my same race. You on the other hand ARE! That is PATHETIC! It looks like you happen to be the racist here, because you are generalizing about white people! Don't worry, we won't have to be having this conversation in the future, because we are a growing movement and we are stopping the INVASION already! Have a great day
Mon Apr 21, 2008 13:50:30 Kristina USA - Oregon	One more thing, read this information that I got off of ALIPAC and other websites about Mr. Edwin S. Rubenstein's document titled "The Economic and Fiscal Impact of Immigration". U.S. taxpayers are giving more than $9,000 a year in cash or benefits to each immigrant, a third of whom are in the country illegally. That's $36,000 for each immigrant household of four. Because the U.S. has 37 million immigrants, legal and illegal, the national cost was more than $346 billion last year, which was twice our fiscal deficit. The cost of immigrants is so high because, as Rubenstein writes, "Immigrants are poorer, pay less tax and are more likely to receive public benefits than natives." The financial burden immigrants impose on education starts with the 3.8 million K-12 students enrolled in more expensive classes for the non-English speaking. When we add up the costs of hiring specialized teachers, training regular teachers, student identification and assessment, and administration costs, the total amounts to an estimated $1,030 per pupil, or $3.9 billion. Of the 48.4 million public-school children, pre-K through 12th grade, 9.2 million or 19 percent are immigrants or the children of immigrants. In the next few years, immigration will account for virtually all the increase in public-school spending. Look at the $1.5 billion cost of incarcerating 267,000 criminal aliens in federal prisons. That's not the worst of it; prison capacity is limited, so 80,000 to 100,000 other criminal aliens have been prematurely released to prowl our streets. Criminals also impose heavy private costs on their victims. Rubenstein estimates the losses of income and property, hospital bills and emotional suffering at $1.6 million per assault or property-crime offender. Rubenstein's report includes all sorts of costs that other observers conveniently ignore, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit. EITC gives an average cash payment of $1,700 per year to 25 percent of immigrant households. The emergency medical treatment given free to illegal immigrants is another enormous cost, causing some hospitals and emergency rooms to close. Emergency means any complaint from hangovers to hangnails, gunshot wounds to AIDS. Even after some restrictions were imposed in 1996, 24.2 percent of immigrant households receive Medicaid, whereas the figure for native-born Americans is 14.8 percent. Rubenstein calculates that Hispanics account for 19.2 percent of Medicaid enrollment, while they are 13.7 percent of the U.S. population. The FHA has had a policy of increasing home ownership among low-income immigrants and, therefore, approved FHA mortgages on homes with a down payment of only $200 to $300 and marginal income. Because buyers have so little invested in the house, they can walk away from it when they can't meet the payments, and this has resulted in neighborhoods of abandoned, boarded-up housing. Refugees are a large and growing fiscal burden because they become immediately eligible for generous taxpayer-paid benefits. Evidence shows they stay dependent on these programs and start chain migrating relatives under the "family reunification" law. The Interior Department spends millions of dollars to clean up the mountains of trash discarded by illegal immigrants crossing into California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Some immigration advocates peddle the notion that immigration will solve the future financial burdens of Social Security. Rubenstein shows how foolish is this prediction because today's low-wage workers will surely become tomorrow's expensive retirees. Another cost that few talk about is that immigrant workers depress the wages received by native-born Americans, and that causes a $100 billion shortfall in federal tax revenue. Harvard University Professor George Borjas found that each 10 percent increase in the U.S. labor force from immigration reduces wages of native-born Americans by 5.25 percent. How can anyone think Illegals are not hurting America! Just look at these facts. You know another thing, Mexican President Felipe Calderon is here in the US to have more "talks" with US President Bush on this topic and more: About 30,000 Mexican migrant workers poured into the New Orleans area immediately after the 2005 storms. Calderon has been a critic of the treatment of Mexican migrant workers by local U.S. authorities, and Ricardo Alday, spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, D.C., said a recovering New Orleans is a good place for Calderon to remind Bush of the workers' economic impact. I hope President Bush takes Mr. Calderon to L.A. California, Texas, Arizona to remind him of what Illegals are doing to our Country! Show him the books and facts! I appreciate all the work the 30,000 workers did for N.O., but look what millions of Illegals are doing to our economy!

Go ahead, post this up, I DARE YOU. Anything different is seen as anti-American isn't it? You make me sick. I'm glad I actually have values and morals and CULTURE. You people are despicable. I'm assuming you all are white? Jessica your above comments make you appear to be racist. You sound very angry and pissy yourself. Please try to get ahold of your emotions long enough to understand our fight against illegal immigration has nothing to do with racism, but with the law. Illegal ALIENS are ILLEGAL, they are breaking the law when they cross the border, your rant does not change that. By the way Americans against illegal immgration are from all ethnic backgrounds. We welcome legal immigrants, ones who care enougn NOT TO BREAK THE LAW. Whether you like it or not we are making great strides in our fight against illegal immigration and will continue to. Have a nice day!
Mon Apr 21, 2008 13:11:28 Kristina Proud American	JESSICA, I for one am not "fueled by racism and hatered". Yes I am a white American, but not a racist and not a hater. First thing, we are against ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. This has nothing to do with the legal citizens here in the USA. Do you find it right (if your a legal resident here) that your hard earned money goes to Illegals that are in prison, the Illegals that are on welfare, the Illegals that are on Medi-Cal, the Illegals that are in gangs killing Americans, including children? Children Jessica! And most states won't do a thing about it. I'm happy there are AMERICANS that are of Mexican descent. I have a good friend that I consider a brother that is of Mexican descent. He has the biggest heart of anybody I have ever met. I have many AMERICAN friends of Mexican descent, and all of them feel the same as I do. IF YOUR HERE ILLEGALLY - GO HOME! All of them are hard workers that are sick of their money going to people that shouldn't be here. So don't just assume that everyone here is white. Sounds to me like your the one that has a lot of hate for Americans that only want the right things done in America. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and use to love it there until it was overtaken by Mexicans that don't have any respect for America. THIS DOESN'T MEAN I HATE THEM OR THAT I'M A RACIST! I'm only speaking the truth. Do some research on how L.A. looked 50 years ago. Hell, look back 40 & 30 years ago! You can see a huge difference from what it looks like today. Yes, I sound angry, I have every right to be. I'm an American that is being taken advantage of and I'm not going to stand for it anymore. RIGO, RIGO, RIGO, I love chatting with you. I would love to sit with you and have several margaritas and talk away. I'm speaking for everyone I know. We are honest with how we feel about the difference in ILLEGAL AND LEGAL. There is a HUGE difference. All my American friends of Mexican descent are hard workers that love this country and Mexico. Most of them go back every now and then to visit family. Several of them come over and we get into talks about Illegals and they are just as fired up as I am. I honestly don't know one Mexican that doesn't mind Illegals being here. We do take this ad seriously because it was made in Mexico City and there is such are Mexicans that feel this way. I know this for sure since I lived in L.A. for 28 years. I went to school with kids that felt this way and I'm sure they still do. You are right to be upset with Toby saying that Mexico isn't worth anything. I have seen lots of footage on T.V. of Mexico and there are places that are absolutly beautiful. But, there is still that problem of your government that takes advantage of the Mexican people and parts of Mexico are extremly bad. I can't speak for Toby, but that is my understanding in what he said. We have bad areas to, for instance L.A., so please don't think I'm saying all of Mexico is worthless. MR. GHEEN, Thank you for everything you do for our country. Continue the good fight.
Mon Apr 21, 2008 10:10:21 Rigo Mexico	Toby, I understand your concern. You have every bit of right trying to avoid USA becoming Mexico. In what I disagree with you is in that you say "Mexico isnīt worth anything"..how can you be so disrespectful?? have you ever being down here?, have you ever being away form USA? Show some class my friend? Jessica, I agree with you, I believe Americans are taking this fool add toooo seriously. There is no way Mexico will recover this land, neither are we expecting so!! However I understand Americans being tired of ilegal immigrants.I donīt know whether they are honest or just being political when they say they have no issues with LEGAL MEXICAN (I hope it is just againts ilegals and not againts anything with Mexican-roots), but what I can say, is I understand every American that is against ilegal immigration. James, gasoline in Mexico cost around US 50 cents a litter in gross numbers. Have a good day fellows,
Mon Apr 21, 2008 09:22:59 Toby USA proudly	Unfortunately, yes, those with your angry attitudes are here to stay. We don't mind a melting pot and if you weren't so angry you would understand that. What we DON"T want is how this is BECOMING Mexico. The rampaging flood across the border is so uncontrolled that the south of the US is becoming equal to a shanty-town in the middle of nowhere in Mexico. That is what we don't want and neither do you or you and your family wouldn't have left Mexico to live here and wouldn't now be citizens. So get off your angry ass and preserve the quality of life you came here for!!!!!!
