Break Quotes
Each time immigrants have these giant rallies, the more they infuriate the rest of the American population with the idea that those who break the law get to march and somehow be rewarded. We have seen in France what happens when you try to bring in millions of people ... in many cases who are hostile. We saw there that it didn't work, and it won't work here.

Community Quotes
The U.S. government unfairly deported thousands of immigrants after the Sept. 11 attacks, simply because they were from Muslim countries, and were at the wrong place at the wrong time. For each, there was a network of children, parents, siblings, neighbours and community who depended on him.

Afraid Quotes
I want to make it clear to those immigrants who are here illegally, we're not going to go around to factories (or elsewhere) asking for your cards. I don't want an immigrant here illegally violated by a (criminal) act of someone else, afraid to call the local law enforcement agencies for help. We will not deport you. We will go after the person who did the crime.

Alien Quotes
If passed, the HR 4437 would permit the government to prosecute almost anyone who has regular contact with an undocumented person by broadening the definition of alien smuggling to include family members, employers, and immigrant advocates. These provisions are likely to drive undocumented immigrants further underground and increase their vulnerability to exploitation.

Coming Quotes
In the new destination states, it's a small share of the population, but it's growing fast. Immigrants coming in to these states tend to be lower income, more likely to be in low-skill, blue-collar jobs, and tend to be more likely to be undocumented (illegal) than the ones in the traditional magnet states. It's no wonder there's a public reaction to the new immigrants coming in these new destination states.

Arriving Quotes
The Hispanic population in 2003 is radically different than in 1992, and many of the factors that have changed for Spanish-language immigrants make learning English more difficult. They are arriving later, staying in the U.S. for a shorter period, and fewer are speaking English at home.

Areas Quotes
The Central Valley, particularly the San Joaquin Valley, receive high numbers of first-generation Mexican immigrants with low levels of education. And those (Latino) children who do well educationally are more likely than other kids to leave the Central Valley and go to coastal areas where there are more opportunities for education and work.
