I think everyone should be allowed to come here, but they should follow a process. It's not fair to the millions of people that want to be here but can't and are following the rules, but someone jumps across a fence in the middle of the night and we give them the world.

They get taken care of better than American citizen's. I know you didn't ask for my opinion but it's on my friends page so..

Opinion's are great and I would love for everyone to share them.
I respect your opinion and I'm not saying we should allow every single person to become a legal citizen of this country but we should allow illegal immigrants who have been here a long time to be able to apply for citizenship after they undergo a background check to make sure they aren't criminals.
I don't see what's so wrong in letting people who have been here for years and have families here pay taxes just like everyone else, feel safe when they go to work and have a normal life.

How are they being taken care of better than American citizens?
Cubans in Miami get treated like crap, Mexicans in California get harassed all the time. I don't see any special treatment from anyone for these people.
Thanks for reading and sharing. :)

They can be treated in hospitals for free because government agents aren't allowed to go to hospitals. They just provide a fake name or whatever, fake ID, whatever they have. I get charged $350 for 2 minutes with a doctor because I don't have insurance.

I don't know any, but I don't know why they wouldn't feel safe, thosands of them can march on the streets and wave Mexican flags (why not American flags?) and not worry about being sent back.

Good luck with your boycott, I'm interested in seeing how it goes.

This is not my personal boycott, this was a post to share with you guys what thousands of people are trying to do tomorrow and I'm going to join them.
I understand what you mean, I get charged a lot of money for a doctor's visit as well....so, if some of these illegal immigrants become legal, they are going to have to pay just like everyone else.
Illegal immigrants are not safe in this country, they are constantly being told they can be seperated from their families here in the US and sent back home.
Just because someone waves a flag of a different country, it does not mean they aren't patriotic about being in the US.
Example:

haha, i know it's not JUST you boycotting. i didn't mean it to come across that way but i know it did. see ya.

I understood you, I just wanted to clear that up anyway.
I don't think me, myself and I can go stand alone on a corner and wave some flag and make changes to this administration...that would be really funny to see, but there wouldn't be any results hahaha, and if I were standing in a corner alone...I would probably look like a prostitute and that would not help either.
Later.
