Do the voices of illegal immigrant advocates better serve big business or illegal immigrants?

Seems to me that those who support illegal aliens are in reality doing the bidding of big business.

Public Comments

1. The advocates work along side big business to demand things like amnesty, government programs, housing and other benefits they are not entitled too. The businesses employ high paid Washington lobbyists to influence government to continue allowing illegals to screw up our country. It is only recently that the American public has become very vocal in our opposition to the immigration mess. We have made some good progress over the last few years.
2. I think that people who are against them is because they are lazy people without education and don't like to see people doing hard work at the same price. I mean if you and an illegal immigrant apply for the same job at McDonalds if you answer the interview, you have the job........... How stupid are these people who can't even compete with middle school drop outs that don't even speak English??? How???????
3. No it's the wealthy going broke due to their own over spending pointing fingers at the minorities to cover for themselves......How is America going to tell people to get out when they are creating wars in other countries to steel their natural resources.? Killing innocent people and everyone here cheering it on like it's our right!!!! Here is some news for ya folks...there are more educated illegal immigrants that know what's really going on . America comes into their countries and exploits them by making sweat shops and paying people .25 a hour. That is why Illegal Immigrant advocates are speaking up. People come here to work.
4. They are, I mean how can an uneducated adult illegal alien get a job that should go to a teenager, likes lets say for instance that corporate monster McDonald's? I mean, they are still paying minimum wage to an uneducated drop out who is illegal. Who knows the logic, I mean the top CEO's are still making a killing in the crashing economy. Maybe those advocates wish we all were poor and lawless because gosh darn it, only illegal aliens need those jobs to feed their familes.. didn't you know that Americans don't have families and none would ever pick a fruit or veggie if their lives depended on it. It is bogus, the claims and yeah, they might as well grab their ankles and let corporate America continue to ram their backsides,because they appear to enjoy it.
5. Did you know that with the money that we already spent in Irak we could pay the tuition of every single college student in the US. Please stop using illegal immigrants as scapegoats get your Rush Limbaught agenda to another place this is a place to make questions not to make political arguments.
6. Big business or as they were known in the 1800's the slave owner. It's all the same just the voice and the property's color has changed. La Raza isn't out to make things better just to make a buck off the people who are too uneducated to see how they are being exploited.
7. Yes,you know many times I think that whoever supports the illegal immigration status quo, actually serves,more or less consciently,depending on what level we are talking about, the interests of the the primary beneficiaries of illegal immigration(both Mx and USA sides) rather than those of illegal immigrants (hired for slave wages,abused and exploited and blamed for everything,disposable,overworked,under payed, a mess,they are willing to put up with for $). On the other hand,the real supporters or supporter wannabees are for giving those already in the USA legal status which will allow them to unionize and get other needed protections, basic rights as safe working conditions etc.I don't know how this would benefit the big business.This would benefit the immigrants anyway. It's not the first time the illegal immigration issue flares up and dies off when needed.
8. Both! they (big businesses & immigrants) need each other. Some big businesses are where they are because of the illegal immigrants. Without them, they wouldn't be making the huge profits. The illegal immigrants work Harder, Faster, and Cheaper!
9. Recently in California a pregnant migrant farm worker , a 17 yr. old girl , collapsed & died of heat stroke while working the fields in 101 degree heat. The problem with immigration is not about "Big Business", but, about our sense of being humanitarians. Are we "doing the bidding of racists" when we don't demand both governments effected by illegal immigration to solve this issue ? or are we resentful & react with negative emotions everytime a story of someone else's suffering may evoke a little sympathy? It takes two to make a border so it should take two to regulate it. Hypothetical voices & "taking away our jobs'' rhetoric just doesn't work. We have neighbors at our borders so why can't our governments do their jobs & patch the "fence" ?
