There are over 11 million Filipinos around the world and their remittances help build the country to this day. Urban construction developments are all over the cities in the Philippines and even rural areas are developing because of the flow of money from overseas.

Illegal Immigrants can f-k off first and foremost. Breaking the laws to enter this country is the worst thing one can do.

You're right it does frustrate me that we aren't deporting more illegals but I have sympathy for the kids who were taken here by their parents when they were young and had no say. These kids know very little about their "home country" and think of America as home.

That's one of the easiest things they could change -- stop having children they cannot afford. They surely cannot afford huge families here when their education levels are very low.

My mother-in-law's mother was poor in her Central American country. She had like 10 kids, but only a few survived. I think very poor people want families and have many kids because not all of them survive oftentimes. That is the main joy in life...to have a family/love...especially when you don't grow up in a society full of 'toys' and entertainment and debauchery. And still, many overfed americans have kids that they can't afford or even care for properly while they're out fornicating or doing drugs. It isn't like everyone in the USA is perfect, either, with all of its education and 1st world status.

There is a lot wrong in the world. Did you ever read 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman'? Have you ever heard of (what was formerly called) 'The School of the Americas'? The U.S. has its hand in keeping other nations from progressing. And what about our economic policies like NAFTA, which just end up driving the poorest of the poor from South of the Border here? You sound like a judgemental idiot that probably doesn't try to research the causes of problems...you just come to spread ignorance and spew hate. And as far as population, I wonder if you know that there are more white people in the world than actual Native Americans/mestizos. Yes, chew on that. Or that there was genocide perpetrated in the Americas against Indigenous people. Have you ever heard of Kevin Annet (may be wrong spelling) and the activism he does in Canada? Didn't think so. You should be glad to be living a privileged life on the backs of other populations. People like you disgust me.

I'm not against immigration but I'm against immigrants who go to their dreamland and refuse to assimilate, refuse to learn English, refuse to work and refuse to respect the laws of their host country. You might want to do some research on Google on what Mexicans have done in California, even removing the US flag in post offices and schools and putting up theirs, holding Mexican independence parties on US soil, and telling US citizens that "they were here first" and "they have a right to be here and have a right to burn the US flag", doing all that on US soil, before you're so quick to jump to their defense. Try doing that in China I dare them..and see what happens.
Can you blame them? Land was taken away from mexico by force.Thjs is after mexico allowed immigrants from america in so they could settle land, and what did the immigrants do? Complain about the government and law, refused to learn spanish, so how is this in different than what goes on today. Wbat is good for americans should be good for everyone, but no its seems like americans can refuse to assimate amd learn the language, and impose their beliefs on everyone else, but heaven help us if people come here amd try to do the same thing. It just seems kinda hypocritical to me

Why I want to live in the USA?
Because I want to be sure, that the law will protect me. I can't fight with criminals and fools in the government of my own country. They have money, resources, power, so I have just a hope for justice and desire to live like a human.

Is "trolling" a buz word for an idea that another does not agree with. And it becomes a catch all end an discussion without having to exchange further ideas? Kinda a like calling someone a racist.
