And also Barry, it said 25% of people in US federal prisons are illegal immigrants. So OBVIOUSLY there are more legal US citizens in prison than illegal immigrants.

"Kristin Butcher of Boston College and Anne Morrison Piehl of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, using 1980 and 1990 Census Public Use Microdata Samples, found that among men aged 18-40 immigrants were less likely to be in correctional institutions than the native-born." http://www.cis.org/articles/2001/crime/toc.html#fear To Megan:

If you always listen to someone, then how are you going to survive down the road. Sometimes you need to make your own decisions and opinions.

You feel freedom when you speak YOUR mind.

If you always listen to someone, then how are you going to survive down the road. Sometimes you need to make your own decisions and opinions.

I completely disagree. I'm not saying that illegal immigrants aren't smart, but many of them DO commit crimes. I read somewhere that over 25% of people in federal prison are illegal aliens. Erika:

I've read that. It's really not just because of job opportunities why illegal aliens come to the US. Read it.

I'm standing by my views. And I never said I was proud to be in America. I just said the US would still be the US without illegal immigrants. OK, good for you.

False? Alright, yes we're America, but is that REALLY something to be proud of? You can make that judgement. Because I feel strongly enough to say that this country sickens me. I just don't think you're getting my points. That's fine with me because one day when the government decides to throw out all illegal immigrants you'll see the negative impact it has on our society. Lucky for me, I won't because I will not be residing in the USA. HAHAA! False? Alright, yes we’re America, but is that REALLY something to be proud of? You can make that judgement.
