I am for Immagration Reform because immagration takes jobs from us workers. The bosses will do whatver they can to save money and will hire the Immagrants to save money. This takes away my job and I will be unable to feed my family. We should keep the jobs for the current workers, not the Immagrants. If we want this country to be prosperous, we have to give jobs to the American citizens. Side: For
I disagree with you. The immigrants being hired would be hired to do work that American citizens like yourself wouldn't be willing do to. If immgrants did all the work for cheaper money than you would've then the products we'd make would become cheaper, too. America shouldn't stop immgrants from coming here to make an income of their own. Side: For

I am for Immigration reform because immigrates are willing to take over the jobs that my workers were fired from their jobs becasue they wanted more moeny or other things that ythey want. Immaigrates should be happy witht eh amount of money that they will get for their hard work. Side: For
I am for the immagration reform because i don't want the jobs that we americans need, to be taken from us by new immigrants. We need these jobs because otherwise our families will not be able to be stable, also they will make money here and we will have to pay them instead of americans earning what they need. Side: For

Jobs that americans need? I don't think so, I rather have immigrants working for me than the people born in America. They work harder and they moved here for a reason, and at the same time you guys are complaining about "Money Issues" when I can pay the immigrants with a low pay. Done Deal. The more immigrants the better for my business. Side: Against
I am disagree with you because I think that the immagrant really work better then the american people and they are very cheap, too. For my business I need workers like they. I don't think that the immigrants steal the work at the american people, they only work better and if the american people really want to find a work, they have to low their wage demands.

If lots of immagrants sre arriving into the country I might get the short end of the stick. Being a women of this time period I need to be able to support my family and if I don't get the job I need I sill not be able to support my family, I will probably get the worst out of the worst jobs.

As a wealthy business owner I am disagree with this post, with more immigrants coming in to America it is going to save me a lot of money. I will still keep some jobs for people from America, but ones that take their jobs for granted won't be working for me anymore, and those jobs will go to the immigrants for cheaper labor. Side: Against
In your last debate you were for a 20 hour work week over a 40 hour week. So if we bring in immigrants to work, then you arent going to have to work as much and you will have the extra free time that you wanted. So wouldnt you be for the immigrants coming to america? Side: Against

You workers were just complaining you had to much hours, and that you were for the 40 hour a week law. The immigrants would be payed much less also, for you are more likely to know more about the job that you already have. So you probably wouldn't loose your job, just get less hours, as you workers wanted. Side: Against

As a female worker I am for the immigration reform. I work hard at my job and I want my children to have the potential for a good job. If there are to many immigrant workers then other people can't get good jobs that Americans need. I don't want my job to be risked just for immigrants. I deserve my job and so do all Americans who deserve the opportunities that are in their country. Side: For
As a wealthy business owner you shouldnt worry about the immigrant workers. If you continue to work hard and your children will work hard when they get their first job. The immigrants work just as hard but if you wor hard you wont have to worry about getting a good job. Side: Against

I am for the immigration reform. Immigrants are taking American citizen jobs and taking up room in our country. Americans were born here, this is their home. Immigrants are coming in and taking over. Yes we need people to work for the little pay jobs, but there are Americans that will also take those jobs. Side: For
Yes, but if immigrants are willing to work harder than Americans then they should be able to come here. I think that they should be able to come here because they are willing to work hard and get paid whatever I want to pay them. If you want your job back then you have to prove that you will work a lot harder then what they are working. Side: For

I disagree with this because you are wanting to be paid more and work less hours. But the immigrants would be willing to work for less and work more hours compared to you. So in the long run it going to be saving me more money by hiring the immigrants and paying them less money. Side: Against
I agree, I think that they should be able to come to America because they will work more hours than Americans want to work. They will work longer and get paid less. American are compaining because they think that they are working to many hours and not paid enough. Side: Against

Being a female worker it is already hard enough to find a job, so limiting the amount of immigrants coming into the country is good for me. This way I don't have as much competition for a job and the business owners would pay me good amounts because they need the workers. Side: For

I am a unionized worker, therefore, I am for immigration reform to protect my own job. I don't think that it is right to withhold economic freedom from people, but I am also fearful of losing my employment. The immigrants could become scabs in the factory, and the strike woud pointless. Under other circumstances I would welcome any immigrant with open arms, but these circumstances are just too tough. Side: For
I don't think we need anymore immigrants, because they could start taking away the jobs of the citizens that already live here. I want to believe that my kids and grandkids will be able to live a good life and be able to work, but if the immigrants keep coming, there would be too hard of a contest for a job. It would be like hitting the jackpot to get a job. Side: For
I am for the immigration reform because being a business owner I can pay them less because they are immigrants. They will be happy making whatever I choose to pay them. I also think this is a good idea because it helps me find better working people and stronger people the will get the job done faster. I want the job done as fast as possible so I can make more money. Side: Against
As a child I am for immigration limit laws. This is because if more immigrants are allowed into the country then I have a lesser chance at getting the job. Also the immigrants will work for less money meaning they will not need me as a worker naymoer when they can pay immigrants for less money. Side: For

i think that an immigration reform is needed because then everyone with a troubled past would just escape to america and they would be taking all the jobs because they would work for less. This would lead to overpopulation and overpopulation is the main reason that people came to america in the first place. Side: For
I am a wife with 2 kids and a husband. Ive been on and off jobs for about a year know and its hard enough to find a job, and then to get into that job. The immagration reform would help greatly by making job hunting much easier and better chance for me to get better jobs. The immagrints are taking our jobs and making life much harder, so this would be very helpfull. Side: For
do you really want some of the jobs that are out there? the eimmigrants dont care what job they take! im sure you dont want to do some garbage or sewage job...and theyed be more than happy to take that job! they are taking jobs that noone wants not that everyone is compeating for! so if job hunting is hard for you its probably your own fault...not theres!

Making your life much harder? Weren't you complaining in the last debate that working for the companies was too much hard work and time? And you're saying you struggle more without a job? If so, this just shows how much you need us in order to live. Without us you're all starving. Here's the simple answer, stay with us and work like you've never worked before and appreciate your low pay. If you complain about the working time and pay wage then you're done and Fired. I'm only against this reform because I'd rather have someone more hardworking than many of you who whine. Side: Against
I am a rich business owner. I really don't care about your family. I only care about myself and the amount of money I make. I believe that the government should not be able to choose who I hire and who is allowed in this country. I think you should be able to find a job very easily, you are probably really lazy and don't look for a job hard enough. You should just suck it up and work harder. Another thing is if you wanta job you should work for less because immigrants work for less. Side: Against

I am against this because I am a child and the more immigrants than come and work means less work for me. I would be very happy if that happened because that would make my life a lot easier. I wouldnt be as tired and would have more free time. A lot of adults would disagree with me because they need work more than me. I am just a child and then i could go to school instead of working just about everyday. Side: Against
But in the last debate you were complaining that you needed a 20 hour work week instead of a forty hour work week and now you are complaing that people would be taking work time away from you. And i dont understand why you say that you are against it but that you are very happy if it happened. Wouldnt you be for it if you want more work time???? Side: For
I am aginst the government putting limits on imigrants. So what I'm saying is I want them to come over and work. Especially if I have to work 60 hours a week now. I am just a child, I dont need to be working that much. So if immigrants come over and work I dont have to worry about working so many hours. Side: Against
I am against the immigration reform. The reform will keep some immigrats from coming to America. I am a wealthy business owner and I need the cheap labor to work in my factory. They will also work longer hours than most Americans. Cheap labor and longer hours means more profit for me. Side: Against
I am a wealthy business owner and i think that having alot of immigrants here is a good thing. That means that there are plenty of people to choose from when someone gets hurt or when someone dies. I think that the more immigrants we have here the better. The more people i can have working at my company, the more product i get produced and the more money i get. Im glad that there are so many immigrants here. I need them to work in my factory. Side: Against

I am a wife with 2 kids and a husband. I see your point with better workers but there are people that need the work to support their families and maintain a healthy life. So i think you should give the people that live in the country a first chance at a job and then ask the Immagrants. Side: For

I am a successful business owner, and I'm for the Immigration Reform. Immigrants would be willing to work more hours and do more work while they get paid less. They need to work for money, too, and I see nothing against keeping immigrants from coming to America. If people have to compete for the jobs, so what? As long as the work gets done fast and right, there shouldn't be a problem. Side: For
I agree with that immigrants should be able to work here. I think that they will work hard or maybe harder than some people will. But I don't agree with them getting paid less. I think that when they come here they should get equal rights. They have a family that they have to support. Besides that, I think it is good that you are willing to have immigrant workers. Side: Against
I agree with this and in addition by creating that job competion it will hopefully improve the work habits of our emplyees as bussiness owners. It is a bonus for us as well because it is cheaper labor and hopefully in fear of losing their jobs and not being able to support thei immigrant familes these new workers will have more than sufficent preformance in the work line.

As a wealthy business owner I am agianst Immagration Reform because immigration reform puts limits on the amount of immigrants coming into America. I am against this becuase with more immigrants coming in looking for jobs this is a lot cheaper for my business. I can pay the same amount of immigrants as people I have working now for a much less price and that will save a lot of money in the long run. Side: Against

As a union worker, I would be against the Immagration reform because many of the union workers happen to be made up of Immagrants. Therefore I think that immagration reform is wrong. All immagrants and people should all have equal rights and be allowed the same rights as anyone. Side: Against

We don't complain we just want you to take our families, lives, and feelings into consideration. Step into our shoes for a week and you will see that taking our jobs away and replacing them with immigrants isn't going to do anything for you. It's just different people doing the same job everyday. We need to survive and support our families too. Side: For
If you want to keep your job then you should take what we give you and not argue about wages and how long you work. If you dont want to work for us walthy business owners thats perfectly fine with me. I can easily go out and find 50 more people that would love to take your spot. If you need jobs so bad then dont argue with us and do as you are told and take what we give you. Side: Against

Okay, then why were you guys against the working time in the last debate? You shouldn't be complaining about the work time because it tells me you're just lazy and don't want to work at all. Saying you want to support and care and have more time for your families. Ok fine if you need more time with your family, I'm gladly to fire you and replace you with another Immigrant. I know there are many other Americans who are hardworking like the Immigrants, that's why I don't fire them. I only fire the ones who complain about the working time and wanting more pay. It is exactly as you say, Not Every Person Says This. Side: Against

If you don't complain then why are you guys part of the unions debating against working time and getting into accidents? How about step into my shoes for once and know about what would happen to your business when your employees ask for more time and money. It is more difficult to run a business if all you do is give out more of your cash than gaining it through your profit because your employers aren't making enough products which means less profit all because of the less work time. By that time the business will fail and there will be less employee openings and the economy will fail and you and your families will be starving and begging for more work. Immigrants came here because there was WORK since there was no WORK in their country. We Are considering your feelings because you dont want to work too much and so we would obviously just replace you with another immigrant who is more hardworking than you. Side: For
I am against this because I am a wealthy business owner and more workers make more products. The immigrants will be pleased with just getting some money and I could pay them less. They are more willing to work than the workers I have now so if they want to come and work for me there should be no limit on immigrants. Side: Against
I think that since i am a wealthy business owner that they shouldnt limit the number of immigrants that come to America because we need them for our company since i can pay them the same amount as a child and get more and better work done from them. This would benefit children too by not making them work as much and letting them get more education so that they can get better jobs when they get older. We need more immigrants to run our businesses because our businesses will then be able to thrive more with the more money we will have. Side: Against

I would want all the immigrants we could get to come to America. They will work for cheap, and most like smarter, and stronger, than the children we have working here. If we have a lot of people working at once, then people wouldn't have to work as long as they used to, so it's a win win. Side: Against

I am against the reform on immigrants because I want them to come over and work for me. When the immigrants come over they will be willing to work for less money than the people that live in America. For where the immigrants come from they prolly don't have many oppertunities for jobs or there pay isn't as good as in America. So the Americans are going to lose there jobs because they are wanting to be paid more and the immigrants will then work for less. Side: Against
Since I am a wealthy business owner, I am against the reform. If we limit the amount of immigrants that can come to the US, we are denying them of the better life they are seeking. Immigrants are willing to work for less money and generally work harder than most Americans. Having no limit on the immigrants coming to the US makes me more money, that way I have less to worry about. Side: Against
I agree with this because isnt this why many people immigrate to the US? By having an immigration reform that wouldnt allow immigrants to come to the US and have a better life. Everyone wants to be able to support their families. In order to do that we need a place to start with jobs and with the US giving us opportunities to get jobs having an Immigration reform would not give us that chance. Side: For

As a business owner I am against a law on immigrants going for jobs. The more immigrants I can get to work for the company the less money I need to pay them as my workers. The will save me plenty of money so I can have the luxuries I deserve and to keep up my company. Side: Against

I think that immigrants should be allowed to work. They are not any different than any of us. They should be allowed to have equal rights. They need the money because like everyone else, they have families too. Also, immigrants are already part of the society and are a big help. Immigrants should be able to live here and have equal rights. Side: Against
immigrants not only dont complain about the wages but they work twice as hard and they do the jobs that americans dont want to do! and yet people have the guts to complain about them steeling all the jobs? there not steeling them from anybody when they werent doing the jobs or wanting to do the jobs in the first place!

I am against Immigration reform because I am a greedy business owner. People from other countries that are looking for a better life work for cheap. I usually pay immigrants less but they work harder than most Americans. I will make more money if I pay my employees less. Also, If the government puts restrictions on immigration our company could go out if business. If our business goes out of buisness then no one will have jobs. I believe the government should not put restrictions. Side: Against
