My husband is a legal immigrant here from Mexico. The illegals crimes and attitudes make it hard on legal Hispanic immigrants to get unprejudicial treatment! I have been around the Hispanic comm. here in northeast Ohio since the early 1990's. Yo entiendo mucho espanol! The things I have seen and heard from illegals over the years would horrify any citizen of any sovereign country! I know from experience that there is so much reverse racism, a "US owes me attitude" and blatant disrespect of US laws, and dissing of Americans (mostly women and young girls), and serious facts are suppressed concerning Americans safety and health being at risk when millions of people from 3rd world countries sneak into this country illegally. Look at the news in Mexico, they don’t want illegals from south of their border sneaking into Mexico!
I am a healthcare worker, a medical professional, and I find it very disconcerting that you dont hear much on the health risks posed to Americans by illegals! Did you know that many illegal aliens harbor fatal diseases that American medicine fought and vanquished long ago, such as drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria, leprosy, plague, polio, dengue, and Chagas disease, to name a few. HIV-AIDS is also more prevalent in third world countries, and other STD's. Not to mention the lack of proper hygeine/sanitation when they cram several families or 20-30 ppl in a single family residence! No matter how you want to spin it, there are many discrepancies between cultures of ppl from third world countries and Americans. I see and hear everyday, things that I wish I didnt know. Like how they change names to avoid bills, use document fraud/forgery as needed, ID theft, SS# fraud/forgery, obtaining goods and services by fraudulent means ETC.. ETC.. Americans are prosecuted for these crimes, some of which are felonies! There are more and more ppl like myself, learning the actions of illegals, things hidden and minimized by illegals and their supporters, things they dont want us to know. I report the stuff I know, as it affects me, my kids, and my legal immigrant husband who also gets angry when he sees the facts twisted like in many articles/posts on this site.
Calling an illegal alien an undocumented worker is like calling a houserobber an uninvited guest, or like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist! Poverty is no excuse to break the law! Americans are prosecuted for fraud/forgery etc.. so should the illegals be held accountable for the crimes they commit! Why dont you help them organize protests and change in their home country? The Mexican gov't has pushed it's ppl and problems on the US to fix for too long! Mexico is one of the richest countries in the world, as far as resources go, but has a corrupt gov't that suppresses the freedom and prosperity of it's own ppl, then push them off on the US to get the billions of US $ that are sent back to the home country by illegals here in the US! The only Americans wanting illegals here are the businesses and wealthy that use them and prosper from them, the rest of america that lives among them, doesn't like neighborhoods turned into overcrowded/unsanitary barrios, if we did we'd go to Mexico to live - legally of course!

Are you sure your husband is from Mexico? I understand that you have a right to express how you feel but you write with so much hate. If your husband truly is from Mexico and those are your views I feel as if you have hatred for your own family, which is his family and people. Or is it that your husband is ashamed of who he really is and where he came from? This is a VERY debatable subject and I could go into a lot about USC and their health and what we (yes I am a USC) transmit to each other and the crimes that we do but I will not because as I stated before you are entitled to your opinion and feelings. I am sorry you feel this way and I will pray for you!

Most claims of rampant diseases carried by illegal immigrants are greatly exaggerated. These allegations are constantly repeated in anti-immigrant websites right down to the continual misspelling of Chnangas disease as "Chagas" disease. The lists of diseases always appear in the same order as well, a sure sign of information cloning.
"Raising unfounded fears about immigrants and diseases is not a new phenomenon," said Alan Kraut, a history professor at American University in Washington. The practice was so common during the immigration boom at the turn of the 20th century, Kraut said, that certain diseases were erroneously linked with certain ethnicities; tuberculosis with Jews, polio with Italians.

Dr. Howard Markel of the Center for the History of Medicine at the University of Michigan said it's more likely that a traveler or tourist would bring a dangerous infection to the United States than an undocumented immigrant. "Illegal immigrants are a convenient scapegoat," he said. READ MORE HERE
This is not to say infectious diseases among U.S. immigrants do not exist. For those interested in the complete facts on the issue of immigrant diseases, please visit the following websites:

One final note: While this site protects the anonymity of contributors who may fear persecution for their immigration status, it also leaves it prone to comments from persons posing as immigrants or relatives of immigrants. The number of shopworn, anti-immigrant clichés in this person’s posting makes me question its veracity. Nonetheless, I have posted in the interest of fairness.
