This is just a poll. I don't mean any bad intentions. I kinda want to get a feeling of the percentage of people that have hate towards illegals.

no, they are people like you and me that want an opportunity at a better life.. because the condition of life in the country they are coming from most likely is horrible.. otherwise they wouldnt come.. put yourself in their shoes.. life a horrible life for the rest of your life.. or gamble everything for a chance at having a better life, achieving the american dream.. something that has most likely been long lost.. and is waiting to be found.

I wouldn't call them dirty or lazy or vermin, but supporting such a large population of illegals is having negative effects.

No, it's hard for some people in the countries they live in and for them to get a chance in the US is a good thing I think.

The reason why I put this is to see how many people have been brainwashed into thinking that a piece of paper somehow makes a person subhuman.

They are anything but lazy if you ask me. But yeah, it's somewhat wrong that we keep them here when they aren't citizens. Then again, it would be pretty hard to find all of them.

No, They are people who came here most likely out of desperation seeking a better life. As for the criminals that came here fleeing the law enforcement of their country; They should be sent back.

No most fo them are good hard-working people, but they are having negative effects on the economy even though they don't mean to.

No, just because they weren't born in a place full of oppurtunities , without wars or even without decent living conditions, doesn't make them any different from other people. Being an illegal alien shouldn't equal being vermin. It should just equal someone without the proper papers and who should get those papers asap. :P

Not at all. They want a better life for them and their children, I can't fault them for that, or how insanely long it takes to legally get into the US.

I wouldn't call them that, but I don't respect them for doing it illegaly. If you really want to move somewhere because it's better, then you should have the respect to follow their laws and immigrate the correct way.

Then you should have phrased it where that anyone that didn't want illegal aliens to remain in the country when found wouldn't sound like a meanie by calling them vermin. That's like asking a child if they'd like a gooey sweet, most delicious, oogy woogy goodness chocalate chip cookie, or a nasty old carrot. Your poll is dumb.

The reason why I put vermin is because its reminisant of what Hitler in Nazi Germany described the Jews. I wanted to get a sense of how much is hate and how much is just opposition.

Oh, ok, carry on then. I voted no because of the way it was worded, but it looks like some voted yes just because they oppose them.

But America makes it so hard for people to become citizens, especially after 9/11. Also, things like the DREAM act which would allow for immigrants who go on to college or the military a chance at citizenship, never get passed.

Then why not put 3 options? Because you want to make everyone opposed seem like nazis? Is that your goal here? :P

I do support laws like that. I think there was one that failed to get through that would've made it a lot easier for people that already had doctorates or masters degrees to become citizens.

Well the question is not whether you are opposed to them but do you believe that they are somehow subhuman? That is the popular image always being ran on tv.

i find it weird how an illegal can come here...not know english..have ZERO support and find a way to survive. people beleive they steal heathcare...when infact that is half true. not all do but some do. if they were given a chance to become legal and they have debt like that on their records...then their visas would be denied immediatly. eitherway they lose. i dont get how their bad for the economy neither......when a illegal silicites his buisiness for cheap money undercutting an american worker, who saves? the american client does. my father ownes a cleaning business and we have a couple illegals working that PAY THEIR INCOME TAXES but mostly legal and american. do you know what one of the first things that are asked on a job site..."how much is this gonna cost". i bet that american wants his rates low...and the americans that works for my father want to get paid well.....somethings wrong with this picture.....

Because the world is a complex and interconnected place. Things aren't that simple. Look at the mexican drug cartels. They get their support and funds from the US consumer. How can Mexico win the war against terror when US citizens support it.

If the place they are staying in has no future, then how can they make a living there? Take the Dominican republic, for instance. The government is poor and corrupt, and people there have nothing to eat. What other option do they have?

No, these people just want a better life for the most part and many are law abiding. The media really sensationalizes when 'bad illegal immigrants' come up. They also take the jobs that Americans don't want and they keep the American economy afloat... I mean come on, give them a break. They're not all scum of the earth.

A thread that invites offensive generalizations about a whole group of people is a non starter.
