I know, first-hand, the heartache caused by illegal immigration. My beautiful daughter ~ young, bright, talented, and college-bound ~ became involved with a young Mexican opportunist, with 14 siblings and many, many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, who are all illegal aliens and are all unskilled, uneducated, illiterate, non-English-speaking, and nearly uneducable. They laughed at the fact that still more of their family members "made it" across the border after the WTC tragedy. They have no values, morals, ethics, or standard of living ~ and instead they know how to steal SSN's, how to obtain false documents, how to evade the law, and when and where to change their names. My daughter lives in poverty, her future in the balance, our family torn apart, and my heart cries to think that this large group of people, numbering in the HUNDREDS from one family (not to mention friends back in Mexico whom they constantly encourage to "come on over"), could be granted amnesty ~ and just what would that change? None will ever make the slightest contribution to our society, none will become trained or skilled, and none will hold a loyalty to a country which is not their own. What could be more pathetic? I AM NOT ALONE. I found that there are COUNTLESS everyday Americans who have had the same or similar experiences ~ with their own painful stories ~ all because of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. THIS is domestic terror at its worst. PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS!

I feel for you, my sister went through something similar as your daughter a few years ago. She was lonely after her husband left her, and she met an illegal from Nicaragua. I warned her that he was only after one thing, (no not that) but she wouldn't listen. After a couple of months, he asked her to marry her, and when she told him she wasn't ready for that, he took off. She tracked him down back in Nicaragua, discovering his wife of 10 years and 3 kids. Needless to say, it woke her up to reality, luckily before she ruined her future. I pray for your daughter to see the truth, before it ruins her life. And don't give up, it might take a while, but she probably will.

I'm truly sorry about your daughter's situation....it seems like when 'love' enters the picture, all reason leaves.

My stepdaughter, in late teens, married a young Mexican--we adored Fernando--he's a good husband and terrific father and hard worker--that said, I'm sure initially he got married to stay in the country.

They bought a little 2-bedroom home in Santa Ana, Orange County, Ca., and before you know it, the second bedroom is not the baby's room, the dining room is converted to a bedroom, the garage is made into an efficiency apartment, and there's a motor coach parked in the driveway--there was talk even of enclosing the porch that ran across the front of the house--which were all rented out to (I'm sure, illegals)--the rents made nearly all the payment for daughter...who I doubt to this day realizes the damages/costs involved with such an arrangement....extra traffic constantly on roads and streets, additional use of sewage system, more stress on utility companys, additional traffic to stores, taking up of additional school chairs (yes, some of the 'renters' were married with children--they all slept in the same room and had kitchen privileges)...never mind what happens to the neighborhoods.

I recall a couple of years back on CSPAN there was a hearing and there were a number of black people from the Watts/South Central area of Los Angeles who were talking about how their neighborhoods are being damaged by one house housing 20 or more people.....not to mention how their own kids couldn't even get a job at McDonalds because they had to speak spanish! The one fella I remember talking about auto repair/body work shops that had been around for ages....was now how Mexican help. He wasn't against immigration--just the illegals--he sees the problems of assimilation first hand every day.

Oh, and he also talked about his daughter having a problem in school...I can't remember now exactly what the problem was, but it came out that he was told if she was Hispanic it would be taken care of!
