  1. All entered the United States illegally, or did we forget that part? Pay the fees, follow the procedures to become a citizen, pay your taxes. It's that easy, hundreds of thousands of immigrants followed the rules, got there citizenship. Stop crying, you and your family broke the law, you are here illegally. Return to your country of origin, apply for a visa, or citizenship like the hundreds of thousands efore you. Nothing is free, nothing is easy, but we have laws for a reason, follow them. Let's put it this way, let me walk into your home or your yard pitch a tent, use your kitchen, your shower and toilet, eat your food and call my little spot where my tent is my home! And when you tell me to get out, now your a racist and bigot. When you call the police to remove me from your home, now your a heartless human being. Do you see? Now if I applied to rent a room in your home, paid you for the food and water I use, and assisted you in your home, then it would be ok, wouldn't it. It's ok for all the bleeding heart liberals, illegal immigrants to cry about in fair treatment because they may be deported for being her illegally. But it's not ok for me to move into your house without your permission.

  2. What is dehumanizing about simply wanting illegal immigrants to follow the law? Millions of people over the last hundred years all fought and worked hard to be a us citizen. All we are asking for is that you enter this country under legal means, and work hard to become a US citizen like the millions before you.

  3. There parents are the ones to blame here by entering the country with their children illegally, it's the US Governments responsibility. You are not undocemented, you are an illegal alien, who entered a sovereign country illegally or under false pretense. What about the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who followed the laws and become citizens? Why should we allow those who do not follow basic simple immigration laws, to stay here? It has nothing to do with hate or racisim, that jus the left trying to find ways to justify illegal activity. Depression all illegal immigrants immediately, and let them apply for citizenship or visas like everyone else does.

  4. Thumbs Up you are waisting your time blaming this issue on Trump and referring to his as a racist because you and your family broke the law. Do we need immigration reform, yes we do. No one is disputing that! But before we see reform and law change, we must address the core of the problem, and that is the illegal aliens currently here in the states. There isn't any reason of why DAKA people have not started the process of becoming a legal citizen. If you have been in this country 10 years, you should have done everything in your power to become a citizen, that is the bottom line. There is situation you could be in that justifies breaking the law, or justifies why you haven't applied for citizenship. If you want to blame someone blame Obama for creating the program that has already been deemed unscontitional and giving false hopes to illegal immigrants. What did you expect the government to just keep letting you live here without some type of status? Here is the bottom line, your parents brought you here illegally, but the fact your parents choose to bring you here still doesn't make it right. DAKA status people have known for years they would eventually have to deal with this issue, do not act surprised when the time comes. Leave the country, document your return through visa and apply for citizenship just like everyone else has done for a hundred years. There is no situation possible that justifies a person or a family from not following the same rules we have been following for all this time, period. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

  5. Xeno Idaltu well if that could be just a little more racist, you might be elected for a Darwin award. First of all, how can you compare those times to now? There was a fraction of the global population, which means there was ample room and resources for all. Secondly, in order to maintain a society, it must be a just society, a group of cultures joined together by law and order. None of which was in place when the Pilgrims came here. Now fast forward to 2017 when jobs are not so plentiful, government resources are maxed out, illegal aliens are entering the country at alarming rates. Just because we want potential immigrants to simply abide by the laws of the land doesn't make America racist. And why would you call it "brown america"? Maybe because your a racist bigot, just demanding more free stuff and bending of laws for some minority group based on skin color? Plenty of immigrants followed the rules, and became american citizens the legal way. Why is it so hard for everyone else to do the same thing? I was born in America, making me a naturalized citizen, I didn't speak with God before I was born and tell him to put me in America, I didn't ask him to make me a man, I didn't ask him to make me white. It just is what it is. So stop your race baiting hatred and bigotry and think logically about the problem, contribute positively to the problem by offering soultions. Not by adding racial fear to an already explosive topic.

  7. Cory Gordillo How am I a bigot, or a racist? Because I believe illegal aliens should be deported for breaking immigration laws? Tax laws? Labor laws? In what world does that make me a racict? You assume because I am a white man, I'm racist! You assume because I believe in due process of becoming a US citizen legally I am a bigot.Because your a minority, and maybe even a DACA sponsor, or an illegal alien that you can blame your immigration issues on race. There are plenty of Russian, and Slavic illegal aliens, there are plenty of Muslim illegal aliens, a lot of Chinese illegal aliens. Never did I or anyone else just point there fingers at one group such as Mexicans and say just you have to be deported. So how can we be racist and bigots? People like you, use racisim as a basis to try and justify illegal aliens and undocumented persons still living in a country illegally. How many times must I say there is no justification to be in any country illegally. You are breaking the law by being an illegal alien in any country. So, please tell me what I and all the other Americans who believe illegal and undocumented persons should be deported, are wrong? Would you let me walk through your front door, lay on your couch and sleep there, eat your food, use your water and other services without paying you? Without getting your approval to stay on your couch? No you wouldnt, but that doesn't make you racist, it means you expect people to behave according to the laws of society. In summary, you cannot justify any illegal aliens being here, you cannot justify in anyway why DACA applicants shouldn't be deported. Immigration reform will never happen until all illegals aliens and undocumented people are deported and accounted for. Before we can begin to document them and work on their citizenship status. DACA participants all knew DACA was a temporary hood on deportation processing, they knew this day would come soon, yet none or most of them made no attempts to become citiznes. They have no one to blame but their parents and themselves for coming here and not becoming a legal citizen.

  8. Mary Luzuriaga First off all I never said Mexicans, I simply said illegal aliens. First before you assume anything, ask questions first. I live in Hereford Arizona for many years, a border town that is affected by illegal aliens on a daily basis. I know the struggles of all this immigration stuff. I have seen cartel violence spill over the border, the mules, the drug runners. I have seen and experienced it all. There is no justification for entering any country illegally, period. If you had to leave your country because of violence, political revenge or a documented threat against your life, then you apply for asylum as US guidelines allow. Not having work, or wanting a better life is not a reason to enter a country illegally. Millions of people have entered the US, followed the laws and procedures, worked hard towards citizenship and we're granted citizenship. So there is no excuse why DACA members could not have done the same thing. I have sat with many Latin illegal immigrants and seen first hand why they immigrated here, but that is not what's at debate here. The issue is that they entered the country illegally, and for the most part do not pay taxes, or contribute to the resources of the country. Now DACA people pay taxes and maintain employment or schooling. Sorry, but this country cannot just keep letting illegal aliens enter the country and stay here without applying for citizenship. In a perfect world, we could just allow everyone here and we could all live and work in peace and harmony. But that's not how it works. There is limited resources here just like every other country, and we must limit those people trying to gain access to those valuable resources, so that those resources do not dissappear for naturalized US citizens. It's not a race issue, it's an economic issue, it's a society issue. All illegal aliens and DACA immigrants must be deported immediately so that we can attempt to reform our immigration laws. I wish we would adopt Canada's immigration policy. Wanna live here and be a citizen, get a sponsor, have employment prior to coming here, pay taxes, learn the countries history and language and pay your immigration fees and taxes and welcome new citizen.

  9. Mary Luzuriaga how is deporting illegal aliens inhumane? As I have said many times DACA was a temporary program created by the Obama administration to temporarily halt deportation processes for illegal aliens and undocumented persons, which was found to be unconstitional by the US Supreme court. Which is why this administration has reversed the DACA program. There is no excuse or justification that excuses why a person whom entered the country illegally or under false pretenses, breaks immigration law. Should simply be allowed to stay because it's the morally right thing to do. If we did that millions and millions would storm our borders and our country would collapse. There must be laws, procedures and steps in place to monitor and control immigration into the country so that we can preserve a stable economy and a stable society. If DACA people have been here for 10 years, and haven't begun the citizenship process by now, they never will. There is no one to blame but their parents who brought them into the country illegally risking their lives crossing the border in dangerous conditions. There is no justification for breaking the law, and remaining in a country illegally, period.

  10. Zanto Yblue well aren't you just an intelligent Latino with your poetic words? Your behavior is the exact reason why so many people agree with Trump building a wall and deporting aliens. When you act like a thug, appear like a thug, people perceive you as a thug. Your sensless words are the foundation of why people look at you the way they do. Well done, great job.

  11. Mary Luzuriaga well it was so nice to see your educated guess at my reply and solving our country's immigration problems. It's simple, become a citizen, leave, or be deported. I do not care if you are DACA or an illegal alien from any country. If wanna be a student here, apply for a student visa, graduate, and either become a citizen or leave. If you were born here and your parents were deported, then have them apply for citizenship, or leave and move in with your parents. It's all pretty black and white, simple to follow.

  12. Zanto Yblue oh yeah you got it, I am a racist because I believe people should be here in our country legally. You caught me.

  13. Cory Gordillo I almost fell of my chair laughing so hard from your I'll gotten words of wisdom. First of all, why is it fair to all the millions of immigrants that worked so hard at becoming american citizens, that these DACA people just get a free ride to citizenship? Why shouldn't they have to go through the same process everyone else has? For exa,please the people in this video came here illegally be there parents when they were 6, 7, 8 years old. So don't say deporting them to their country of origin, that they don't know, because they were born there and lived there as a child. As you can see from the video, that are all adults now, some married with children, some here 10, 15 years. So explain to me why if you have a family here, or have been here for 10 years that it's so terrifying to think you could be deported at any moment. Why wouldn't you start the process to become a citizen? They have no one to blame but themselves, this is not a a Trump issues. Obama created the DACA program as an executive order to give temporary orders to halt deportation of certain illegal aliens. The program was found to be unconstitional by the Supreme court, and all person in the program knew thus was a temporary fix to a much larger problem. So because these people failed to obtain citizzenship, because there parents brought them here illegally, and they have been here undocumented for so long, that automatically makes me a racist. I just adore your logic behind that. To,stay here in america, there is a process, you must be a naturalized citizen, an immigrant worker visa, a travel visa, student visa, refugee with asylum status or a citizen holding a green card. All of which none of these people in the video have, so what are we to do? Do we just say ok, throw our hands up and say whoever is here illegally you are now citizens? Then what happens when the tens of millions of people then rush to the border for the same oppurtunity? Do you think our government resources could handle that? Could our economy handle that? Citizenship numbers are managed yearly to allow immigrants to come here and become citizens in such a manner as to not over burden the countries resources or economy. There is a process, and laws for a reason, there not just there because as you say some white supremacist is sitting in the Oval Office. If we are to maintain the security, economy and society in this country we must have all people irregardless of color abide by immigration procedures and laws. The fact you fail to see and understand that, tells me you simply are making your opinion and decision based on emotion, not logic. Just making them citizens because you think they should just be given it is not a reason. Your thought process on DACA would destroy this country and yet you do not even care about that.

  14. Xeno Idaltu we have immigrant work visas, and many Mexicans use them in the southwest. We also have other work visas, student visas, etc. DACA people could have returned to their country of origin and applied for a visa at anytime. In fact people here from England on visas, must return for a certain amount of days per year to renew their visa to stay here. There is no reason what so ever why DACA people haven't applied for citizenship or visas. They just refuse to leave, and follow the appropriate laws and procedures to make them legal citizens. They have no one to blame but themselves.

  15. Zanto Yblue you didn't get me to do anything, there all going to be deported and the sooner the better. If half of them are like you, then they deserve to be deported tomorrow.

  16. Xeno Idaltu they are not children! They are all adults. Why you are here 10, 15, 20 years without becoming a legal citizen only shows the rest of the country you are just lazy not to become a citizen and not willing to work hard at becoming one.

  17. Zanto Yblue and for all the little wanna be LA gangsters, speaking spanish, in a DACA video in America your the exact reason why most Americans want you out. It's America the langue is english.

  18. Cory Gordillo first of all Mr. Corrections, it's North America, central America and south america. Not America's! Secondly if your from the UK then anything you say, or any opinion you have about DACA and American politics is mute. People like you will never understand, and funny your crying about DACA when your own country has been violent and unacceptable of refugees and immigrants from the middle east. So who cares what you think, and finally because I want these DACA people to simply apply for citizenship does not make me a racist. In fact I adore Latinos, I enjoy their culture, and lived 2 miles from the border for many years. But I know and have seen first hand what happens with illegal aliens entering the country, and it's not so beautiful. For their safety and ours, simply apply for citenzenship and keep trying to work hard to come here. Do not seek across the border in the middle of the night risking your life, then live here 10 15 years and wonder why your being deported. Come on its only common sense and logical thinking. Would you just let a million people enter UK without getting the appropriate papers to work and live there?

  19. Elena Hernandez No one said legal immigrants who are citizens or on work visa didn't pay their taxes. It is the 10.9 million illegal immigrants not paying taxes that is the problem. DACA was a bad program to begin with, it was a false hope for illegal aliens that were brought here as children, it was unconstitional in almost every aspect, and not authorized by congress. The program allowed some estimated 800,000 temporary I migrants to stay, giving them access to tax payer funded education and health care. So to think DACA didn't displace american citizen resources is just plain ignorant. I am all for allowing potential immigrants a fair attempt at becoming citizens. But they must do it in the legal manner that millions of immigrants before them have done it. I am not against amnesty either if the 10.9 million illegals all paid a fee for the taxes they haven't paid. Government resources here in the United States are stretched to the max at this point, now if we had the tax money from 10.9 million undocumented workers are resources wouldn't be so stretched and we could allow for a more operable immigrant program. Immigration reform cannot be effective until all the illegal aliens currently here are either deported or given amnesty, and then we build a system both physical and legal to prevent further illegal aliens from entering the country. Immigration needs to be properly managed so that we are not taking jobs and resources away from hard working americans, and let's not forget Americans equals whites, latinos, asian, blacks, everyone who is a citizen. So this isn't being racist, it's just being logical and responsible for management of immigration.

  22. Elena Hernandez your English is terrible and almost impossible to understand what your trying to say. This is part of the issues of immigration, is the language barriers, and most Americans find it offensive if you cannot speak or communicate in English effectively. Not that, that should prevent you from visiting here. But as an immigrant or a person applying for citizenship you must be able to speak, read and write in english. Anyway, I will watch this video you are talking about, but that still will not change the fact if you are here illegally and are ot paying taxes like the rest of us, you must be deported immediately.

  23. Elena Hernandez the most lame video that has no bearing on the issue. You fail to understand that those jobs you believe illegal aliens are taking that other Americans won't take, are only offered at that pay and no benefits because those employers know they will get immigrants or illegals to work them. You cannot use these jobs as a reason to explain illegal aliens and immigration. First of all most of the 800K DACA are well employeed, and a lot of illegal immigrants make a decent wage. If illegal aliens were not here, employers and companies would make the changes needed to fill the jobs or they would be out of business. There is so much to argue and debate about illegal aliens and immigration, the pro's and con's, of it all. In the end, when you put it all on paper, their is no way to justify or defend illegal aliens, DACA or amnesty. The only way that it would remotely work, is a wall built around the whole country, beefed up border patrol, amnesty to whomever is already here if they pay a fee to make up what they have not paid in taxes, and then we would need a very strict cap on new immigrants. So you can see how extremely difficult it would be to make it all work. We need more strick immigration enforcement laws and reform. We need to enforce current laws and deport illegals as much as possible in order to get us to the point where immigration reform can be made, it's the only way.
