Between January 1, and August 17, 2006, 16,607 sub-Saharan Africans had arrived in the Canary Islands. One week later the total number of arrivals had risen to nearly 19,000, 700 minors among them (in the weekend of 19 and 20 August 2006 the total number of arrivals was 1268). Nearly desperate local authorities speak of an invasion or an avalanche. Most of these Africans are young men, and none of them has identification papers so that their country of origin cannot not be traced. (They are instructed by the trafficking organizations to dispose of their passports.) The Spanish authorities then transfer these "sin papelles" (undocumented illegal immigrants) to the mainland where they are subsequently set free. They receive a written "Expulsion Order" which says that they must leave the country. They are not allowed to work. Often they are then approached by criminal organizations which offer them forged identity papers and some kind of ill-paid job. Spanish authorities managed to send some 1700 sub-Saharan immigrants back to their home courtries. (On one occasion the illegal immigrants simply refused to leave the plane, on another occasion they complained that by sending them back their "human rights" had been violated.) Spain just cannot cope with the thousands of illegal immigrants arriving each week and the criminal organizations are very well aware of this. A number of these illegal immigrants stay in Spain, many others travel to other European countries, especially to France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Britain. "The mafias have converted Spain into an authentic paradise for themselves," commented opposition leader Mario Rajoy recently.

Human rights are not dependent on citizenship. That is why you cannot enslave an illegal alien.
What rights are these people demanding?
o reduced tuition in colleges (i.e. state resident rates)
o Social Security
o right to traverse the U.S.-Mexico border at will
o bilingualism in public schools
o right to engage in petty crime and other criminal endeavors free of interference from the authorities
Originally posted by SmiderMexicans don't have too many rights in Mexico. Got rights up the butt in America, though.
I find this subject very amusing. here are the Mexicans who come into our country illegally (except for the few who have green cards) and they march into Washington DC and shout for rights. 😞

Then you taxpayers would have to cough up your tax money to prop up those state's economies while immigration laws were altered to make it easier for immigrants to work in those states since most mexicans are filling jobs that US citizens don't want to do.
So, what difference does it make whether they are legal or not?
Here's the real point. Right now, the US NEEDS immigrants. If you want to stop/slow immigration, then start having kids...lots of 'em. The US ecomony cannot expand if people are only having 1 or 2 kids. You need at least 3 kids to grow the population and the GDP. So bring Mr. Happy outta retirement, grab yourself some Viagra and have at her.

So many people say that. Here's a radical idea: change the jobs. Most migrant workers live under slave-like conditions, so of course that's not a big employee attractor. You want a farm? Fine. Work on the farm yourself like they do in the midwest, hire teens, hire adults but pay them at least minimum wage, etc. Change how things are at the job.
Hey, if you're not willing to hire domestic help that's legal and pay them according to the law, then babysit your own children and cook your own meals and wash your own dishes. Hire a landscaping company that has legal employees, or cut your own grass.
Make the jobs pay minimum wage, give people on welfare a free bus card (which they may already have) and a list of available jobs.
