Illegal Immigrants Returning To Mexico For American Jobs

the article was about mexican based american jobs. many illegal immigrants already in the U.S. are returning to Mexico for the jobs. one of the people involved is Anuncio reyes he is 22 years old. he now works as a spot welder and earns 22 dollars an hour. it shows that there is also danger in going back to the country. this was described by a 31 year old illegal immigrant named Ignacio jimenez. Camilla Torres, 27, explained how many people now see mexico as a land of opportunity due to the U.S companies based in mexico.

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/47978= I thought the article was interesting, i always thought imagrants wanted to stay in america not go back to mexico and get a cheaper paying job. i didnt really understand it. but it was interesting.
http://www.warriorsfortruth.com/borderillegals.html= this article caught me by surprize. I did not know that other peaple then mexicans our crossing our border. Theres aisan peaple and peaple from Egypt.http://www.warriorsfortruth.com/illegal-aliens-babies-diseases.html= This artical as well like the other has caught me by surprize. Well illegals are bringing in new diseases and more old ones like we need more of that. Even their babies are all infected. I think they should let illegals in from a check point and have them checked out in a clinic before they come in.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/12/AR2005061201441_pf.html= I see what they are saying in this article. It is very possible for terrosts to sneak in. What in saying is let illegals in but have them checked out first.

Illegal immigration-
In this article the main people involved were mostly mexican workers that atre trying to get to the U.S. The article talked about how some of the workers are trying to get away from mexico through the rio grande river. Many workers usually tried to go during there breaks or in their spare time. Many say the trip across the border as illegal Mexican-American emigrants offers them a chance to land the American jobs in Mexico they never have been able to get as illegal Mexican-American immigrants in the U.S. Many people dont appreciate that Mexicans are coming down to the U.S to seek a better life but most of them just want to live. This article also talked about how thousands of immigrants get caught trying to cross the border a year. Only a few of the mexicans make it. This takes place all over the world but usually in mexico. Some immigrants actually make it do to other legals that help them get across, but they have to pay them a fine. I dont dissagree or agree with there ideas because i cant put myself in their shoes. Although i think that if i was an immigrant i would probaly try to find a way across the border and become an illegal to try to live a better life.

I think that the illegal aliens shouldn't be treated that way because they are also humans, and if you were trying to go to another country in search for a new life or to get more money so you could send some back home. They have to pass through a lot and also they have to pass through the chance of being shoot by an border patrol agent and may being killed. If you ask any body if they will die for money the probably would say no, but if you ask an immigrant if they would die for money the answer will be probably yes, because they are already dying starving or with out money.
I don’t agree because, like I said before, they are also humans and they deserve a chance to do well.
I also don’t agree because people die in search of a new life and more money, that’s not even worth it, but they could die starving.
In the other hand I agree because if the border patrol just let them pass we would be over crowded over here in the united states.

Illegal immigrants anchor babies and diseases:
The characters in this article were the immigrants who are spreading disease and producing more kids in the U.S. This article talked about how the immigrants are causeing 118 million extra dolars in taxes. Many people are concerned about the people coming in from arabia because we have problems with terroist. Immgrants are angry that we arent letting people in the U.S because all of them arent terroist, some are good people. In my own opinion i think that it is good that the U.S has a strict system on the border. I think that because we cant always trust everybody, as soon as we get off guard we can be letting a terroist into our country. I think it is better to be safe than sorry. If i had somthing to do with changing the rules, i would have have a strict test on all immigrants if they want to come to the U.S.

Illegal immigrants returning to Mexico for American Jobs
Basically, what this article speaks about is that new America jobs are starting business in Mexico. What this means is that Mexicans have better chances of better paying jobs in Mexico, other than coming into the US. So this article basically states that those who entered US illegally are now returning the dangerous trip back home. In some cases those who tried to return back home where confused with those who try and enter US illegally. This movement has caused a huge mix between those returning back to Mexico and those coming into the US. What I don’t understand is, for those people who are returning back to Mexico why do they cross the hard way back, why don’t they just cross through the border which is less risky than thru any other way. This new production of American jobs made in Mexico has a bad and a good outcome. The good is that maybe the number of illegal immigrants who try come into the US will decrease. But also it’s cause may problems when those who already came into the US return back home and take the jobs away from those who were always in Mexico. I think that if the US had such a big issue with illegals entering their country why couldn’t they think of making American companies in Mexico? I think that maybe if they make more companies in Mexico and work out a deal then immigration problems won’t be much of any issue. What I think is that there will always be people wanting to get into a country illegally, but you could always decrease the population of those coming in, right. And wouldn’t Americans love that way better?
US Border Patrol: In this article that I read it gave information on immigrations entering the US, and how the percentages have been increasing. But one thing that seems to frighten these Americans and border Patrol agents is that not only do they find Mexicans trying to cross the border, but they also find people from the Middle East and sometimes some even coming from Asia or former Soviet Union. But what I don’t understand is that why does this startles them so much. Of course Mexicans won’t be the only race that will be trying to get into America. Another thing is that not all the people who try to come into US are good many are bad, some are drug dealers, and maybe even terrorists. But the American Border patrols states in this article that the only way to stop these people from entering is by militarizing the border. Giving agents backpack filled with nuclear and chemical weapons. But really I don’t think that using violence solves anything. What I do think is that the population of these people will not decrease and maybe this will cause warfare between armed terrorist and drug deals vs. border patrols. The world is populated with good and bad, and that’s how it will always be. I think its funny how some people really believe that they can settle things down by using violence themselves. That not the way to settle peace and safety. I really don’t know how this could work out but what I do know is that nothing will stop the bad in this world, only the good but not by using violent forces.
Illegal aliens anchor babies & disease: This article verifies the many problems that are brought upon by illegal immigrants including diseases, risk of health programs, high cost for health, and large population of what they have now called “anchor babies”. Really I know that illegals coming into the US is a huge money issue and that why it’s such a big problem, because of the money. Money is what many says makes the world go round, which is true but not all true. In my opinion what makes the helps the world go around is the people, people who are educated and ready for the future, but of course with the help of money people and education meet. Sometimes I come to think that all these people who are always bragging about immigrants are really just selfish and money hungry. These people are made because they are having to pay more money that first of all is not even theirs for others. My message to all these people is the reality is immigration will NEVER END, true story. I know it sucks but I think that those who are trying to solve the issues of immigration need to start thinking about not only how can we make these people from coming in WITHOUT THE USE OF VIOLENCE, and for those who are here what can they do to help those who are already here. While reading this article I read a passage where it said that the Alabama Federation of Republic Women wants to take away the citizenship of babies born to illegals, which I think is very wrong and selfish. I think that people need to be more optimistic about things and instead of thinking how to stop these people from entering their country which is impossible, they should start thinking on ways to help these young kids who will become the future in our lives. They will be the ones who will work and decided ne laws when we’re too old to walk. I think that these kids need a chance in life and maybe they should do something to help them benefit in life so that when they grow up they could help us out instead of creating things that we won’t benefit from. We cant be stingy because nothing that we have now is our not even if we buy it, I think that we need to start thinking of ways to help each other instead of thinking of ways using violence to get rid of people. TREATING PEOPLE WITH THE SAME RESPECT THAT YOU WANT TO RECEIVE IS VERY IMPORTANT. AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO BE FORGOTTEN AT MANY TIMES DURING OUR LIVES. Basically what I’m trying to say is that we cant act selfish and think just what benefits ones own self, but benefits for all.
Immigration law as Anti-Terrorism Tool: Many immigrants have been victims of terrorism cases. Most of the immigrants come from the middle East. Their homes have gotten raided on the count of lying in their immigration documents. Maybe like some of these people who are accused are innocent, meanwhile the other half have not yet been discovered. At times these govt agencies or whatever they are make mistakes accusing the wrong person and charging them jail time. But one thing is that it does suck for these middle east people who get accused. I mean not to be mean but they all do look like they’re hiding something. But maybe the US govt should make sure that they have strong evidence before entering their home and begin disrespecting by throwing everything around. Sometimes I come to believe that we as people have little power and rights over the govt. and supposebly they say that we have most of the power. But the truth is that sometimes, the govt forces tend to abuse the work they do and forget that they as well are from the same kind of specie as all of us. Some situations can be done really unfair but I don’t think anything can be really done to fix this problem.

illegal alien Arabs cross mexican border

this article was about arabs crossing into the US throught the mexican border. it states that to date the US broder patrol has apprehended 158,782 illegals in 2001. they also admit that around 800,000 have slipped across the US broder. the local ranchers who have been watching the borderfor several generations strongly disagree. they say that only 1 in 10 are caught and around 1.5 million have slipped through. many ranchers and dorder agents are scared to speak about what they deal with because of narco-militants and coyotes.

ANTI TERROIST TOOL-
In this article it talks about how the people can help or what ideas we have on identifying terroist. Having immigrants come into our country is very controversal because its hard to tell if the immigrant is a terroist. This article explains how some people fake people legal immigrants and finding there way into the U.S. I dont think there is any way to prevent that situation, if they can actually fake out the government. In some cases, the government ultimately concludes that a suspect, while perhaps guilty of an immigration violation, has no terrorism ties at all.
Another controversal problem is that when the immigrants get caught near the U.S that means they will have to go to a U.S jail. Many people are questioning if that is fair to us?. I think that if they are caught in the U.S they should stay here until there time is up and then be deported. It doesnt sound completly fair but if they know those are the rules they shouldnt try to go against it.

illegal aliens anchor babies and diseases

this article was about anchor babies. an anchor baby is a baby born in the US from illegal aliens. it says about how much they cost to us american taxpayers. it is estimated that they cost about $118 billion every year. one of the people involved in this article is cristobal sivelrio. ha came over to the US with his wife and three children all illegal. then they had a fourth one here in the US. that baby gave the whole family a free ticket to stay permanantly in the US, but it cost the taxpayers around 300,000 because she was premature. it also says that many illegals entering have tuberculosis around 60 percent of them.

THE U.S BORDER PATROl-
The main characters in this article is the U.S border partols. Some people say that it is hard to partol the area without letting at leasdt on immigrant in on istake. Partols say that out of ten people, at least on person is coming from egypy or yeman. In those countries contain alot of terroist against our government. Studies showed that many immigrants that are being smuggled are our biggest threat in raising taxes. It is very different from their point of view to there point of view. We think that we all should be very cautios because at any moment somone can be trying to destroy or hurt our counrty. In there eyes some of them just think they are trying to come to live a better life. In my opinion i think that the border partol is doing its job just right, and it needs to be strict. The main reason why our border partol rate is so high is because of the fake i.ds and smugglers. I do think that our border partol can be stronger because people are still being smuggled in. People are being smuggled in from all around the world and this has been going on for alot of years. I dont think that our border patrol will ever become 100 percent proof because someone will find a way o smuggle a person in.

Immigration Articles; <3.

[article one]

1. Illegal Immigrants Returning To Mexico for American Jobs
2. This article mainly talks about the Mexican immgrants that attempt to find better jobs in America. But when chaos starts in America because they are indeed, illegal immigrants, they go back to Mexico. Many say the trip across the border as illegal Mexican-American emigrants offers them a chance to land the American jobs in Mexico they never have been able to get as illegal Mexican-American immigrants in the U.S.
3. I think that the system in which allows immigrants to become citizens.

[article two]
1. US Border Patrol
2. This article talks about how the U.S.-Mexican border is now the most heavily used corridor for illegal alien traffic on America's southern boundary. The numbers of unathorized immigrants smuggled across the porous border is around 158,782. They contend the agency only nets one in 10, and estimate that in 2001 over 1.5 million immigrants have already crossed illegally into America.
3. This is no surprise to me. I have been knowing about the giant number of illegals coming to America. I think we should make our border more secure. Lastly, if anything, America should regulate the system in which aloows these illegals to become citizens.

[article three]
1. ILLEGAL ALIENS ANCHOR BABIES & DISEASE
2. The third article is about how much tax payers pay for the illegal immigrants health care. They spend an estimated amount of $118 billion dollars a year. The Alabama Federation of Republican Women wants to take away the citizenship of babies born to illegal immigrants in the United States.
3. I think that this is unfair to taxpayers but I feel that it should be easier for immigrants to become citizens. And even if they are illegal, they should be forced to pay at least something instead of charging taxes on the people who were born here.

[article four]
1. Immigration Law as Anti-Terrorism Tool
2. This last article was about how an illegal immigrant was caught lying on his documents. He was arrested inside his home, unexpectedly. This is mainly about how serious the United states takes these documents and how severe the conqeuences are if they catch someone lying or given false information.
3. I think that it's good the United States tries hard to stay strict on these issue because you never know. What if they were terrorists, it's always good to double check.

Immigrants come to america to find better jobs and better pay. I think that if immigrants dont have to risk coming to america to get a good job. Alot of industries are expanding their businesses to mexico which i believes really benifits alot of residents of mexico.

http://www.warriorsfortruth.com/borderillegals.html

I believe that if the U.S Border Patrol knows where the illegal aliens are going through to get to the U.S. then they should be doing a better job of stopping them from coming through. The Border Patrol only catches one out of every five illegal aliens that crosses. The border patrol needs to stake out and caught alot more illegal aliens.

http://www.warriorsfortruth.com/illegal-aliens-babies-diseases.html

When immagrants come to the United States they bring their childrens and with that its making taxpayers pay alot more. With them coming their babies bring diseases and have to take them to the hospital with or without medical. What the illegal immigrant due is very smart because they cross over wen they are pregnant and have kids so they can get benefits.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/12/AR2005061201441_pf.html

I think the way they are using the immigration law is a smart. I know alot of people dont see the law as an anti-terrorist act but it is because if we let immigrants come over they know who can be having a weapon of mass distruction and cause suvery damage. Alot Terrorist would be look at the opportunity and not even think twice about it.

in this article the main people in this article is Anuncio Reyes, Ignacio Jimenez and Juan-Miguel Diaz. in this article its mainly about how people try to cross into the u.s. looking for work. Anuncio Reyes said, i came to this country seeking a job i sought when i fisrt left this country. he is an undocumented worker who recrossed the u.s. boarder into mexico last month after three years leaving mexico for the united states to work as an agricultural day laborer. he said, i spent everything had to get back here, yes it was dangerous, and I miss my home. But as much as I love America, I have to go where the best American jobs are. he now works as a spot welder on the assembly line of a maytag large appliance plant and earns 22$ a day most of which he sends back to his family in the U.S., who in turn send a portion of that back to the original family they left in Mexico. When 31-year-old illegal Arizona resident Ignacio Jimenez sought employment at an American plant in Mexico, he was shot at by Mexican border guards as he attempted to illegally enter the country of his citizenship. Jimenez said, it was a nightmare Many became disoriented and panicked, and some were mixed in with immigrants going the other way across the Rio Grande and ended up swimming to the wrong country. he also stated My cousin almost drowned. They fished him out and sent him back to wash dishes at T.G.I. Friday's

Illegal Immigrants Returning To Mexico For American Jobs

In a turn of events that nobody thought would happen many illegal immigrants that crossed the border illegally to get to the land of dreams are actually going back to their native country, Mexico. Why? The land of dreams has become the land of unemployment. Many of the big companies that had illegal immigrants as their workers are moving to Mexico. So now many of their workers now have to cross to their native country as illegal immigrants. Many of the Mexicans that stayed behind in their native country and toughed it out, resent those Mexicans that went to America and now come back to Mexico to steal their jobs. It is very sad that people that tries to succeed and are real hard workers lose so much. I believe that as there is poverty there will always be injustices.

in this article i read, its about anchor babies that cost tax payers 118 billion a year. thats alot of money a year. Cristobal Silverio emigrated illegally from Mexico to Stockton, Calif., in 1997 to work as a fruit picker. He brought with him his wife, Felipa, and three children, 19, 12 and 8 – all illegals. When Felipa gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Flor, the family had what is referred to as an "anchor baby" - an American citizen by birth who provided the entire Silverio clan a ticket to remain in the U.S. permanently. but flor was born prematureand spent a couple months in neonatal incubator and cost the San joaquin hospital more than 300000 dollars. thats a lot of money but thats not it The two Silverio anchor babies generate 1000 dollars per month in public welfare funding for the family. Flor gets 600 dollars a month for asthma. Healthy Cristian gets 400 dollars. While the Silverios earned 18000 dollars last year picking fruit, they picked up another 12000 dollars for their two "anchor babies.

immigration law as anti-terrorism tool

this article is about terrorist immigrants. it says that if they leave the border open then there are many terrorist that will come over. the people involved in this article is soul khalil and her husband hassan. it says that they were raided by a special task force from the FBI. the husband was handcuffed the charge was for lying in his immigration documents. i think that this is pretty stupid because they made a big deal out of something so little. the aricle explains that before the september 11 attacks the immigration agents were a minor role. i think that it is a good thing that they enforce the laws but i also think that they are kind of over exaggerating.

Warriors for Truth

I believe that this article is very racist. It is true that the people of America have the right and the job of protecting their country but they cannot be prejudiced against all immigrants. Not because they are a certain nationality does it means they are all the same. For example people become more alarmed when they see an immigrants that looks middle eastern. It should not be like this. It is true that if you want to come to America then do it the right way, but once here immigrants should be treated with respect and dignity the circumstances that put them here are always varied but they all have a past and a hope for a better future. Immigrants although illegal are still human they need to be treated as such.

in this artical i read about this guy nammed hassan who was arrested about lying about his documentation papers. this is a good thing because thats how alot of terrorist get into the united states and blow things up. also i dont think they should be allowed here in the first place with this war going on why would they want to be here. but the ones who are lying about their papers should be sent back to where ever they came from, but there are some who lived here and have their papers but they get raided anyways because the government makes stupid moves and deport the wrong people.

Illegal Immigrants Returning To Mexico For American Jobs.
In this article I read that Mexicans are getting angry at the fact that some Mexicans that came to America illegally are coming back to Mexico and getting the jobs because they have more experience. These Mexicans are coming back to Mexico making the same dangerous journey to see if they can get better pay in Mexico. This is alarming many working Mexicans because they are afraid to loose their jobs.
A 22 year old man crossed to the United States in search for better pay and a better life. He re-crossed back to Mexico so that he could find a better job in Mexico and find better pay. Now he works in Mexico as a spot welder. Here he earns 22 dollars a day. He sends some of it home to his family in the U.S and they send it to their family in Mexico. He wants to bring his family to Mexico so that they can get a good American job in Mexico.
When Ignacio Jimenez a 31 year old illegal immigrant decided to go back to Mexico to work in one of the American plant, he got shot. The border patrol shot him as he entered the country of his citizenship. They shot and many people became disoriented. They did not now where to run to. His cousin almost drowned. Many say they do this because it gives them a chance to get the good American jobs in Mexico that they don’t normally get in America. Now many Mexican are seeing Mexico as a land of opportunity.
I think that this is good for American people. They all want Mexican out of here so now it is looking good for them.

One in every ten that we catch are from country like Yemen and Egypt.
Border patrol have been saying that they have are not catching as many illegal immigrants as they are saying. They say that they have apprehended at least 158,782 illegal immigrants in 2001. they also admitted that about 800,000 have slipped into the U.S. Others are saying that the border patrol are lying and that at least 1.5 million have crossed to the U.S. Many border ranch owners are angry at the fact that they have people running out into their ranches and they are drug people, smugglers and immigrants. They feel like they are in danger. They are saying that there are so many illegal walking the same way that it the path looks like a trashcan not a ranch. Along the way there are foot deep wholes filled with bottles, syringes, toilet paper, feces, and other disgusting things. Many border patrol agents are scared that hey might be ambushed by narcos, or by a lot of immigrants. The population of Mexicans trying to come to the United States has really slowed down. Now they are seeing people from other countries like form Yemen and Middle east. I think that it is so weird. They are probably trying to attack America from a different angle.

Anchor babies cost U.S taxpayers $118 billion every year.
In Alabama people are trying to take away the citizenship of the babies that are born to illegal immigrants. A man Cristobal Silverio immigrated to the U.S in 1997. He brought his wife and three kids to the united States. His wife gave birth to a premature girl and spend three months in the hospital. This cost the San Joaquin Hospital about 300,000 dollars. Their daughter got married and also had a baby. This generated in 1,000 per month on welfare and other things for this family. That family get 18,000 picking fruit but got an extra 12,000 on their babies. The increase number of illegal immigrants coming to the U.S is harming our hospitals and they are closing many of our hospitals. Between 1993 and 2003, 60 hospitals were closed because half of their services went to illegal people and they do not have to pay. Between 300,000 to 350,000 babies become legal because of 17th amendment of the Constitution. Many of these kids have tuberculosis. This makes are hospital services higher and they do not need to pay for the treatment. I think that this is a problem. They should pay at least what they can in a certain amount of time.

I believe that immigration officers are being racists by targeting a certain race. Immigration officers and the whole department in this case has proven to be targeting a certain race and religion, in this case they are targeting Muslims and Arabic. They say that they are not that they are simply looking out for the safety of America. Many of the immigrants being deported are of Muslim descent and they are here legally. Even though they are here legally immigration office wants to link them to some type of terrorist act. If they cannot find a link to a terrorist act then they will scrutinize the immigration papers in order to find any reason to deport them. This is really sad since many of these people are here to prosper and they are doing it the right way.
