Gimme a break. These illegal immigrants are working in the US but are not part of the tax base. I think it is fair to hand out a green card with each tax enrollement form. As long as someone is conributing to the overall....
I know that 9/11 has caused an isolationist mentality but "we" all came from somewhere.

If you think Illegal Aliens are a drain on our economy now what do you think they'll be if we imprison them?We'll have to feed, cloth,shelter and give them Medical care.

Barb wire fence in the desert, no medical, and just enough rice, and water to live.

Heh heh.

Go back to Vietnam and build tiger cages and punji sticks for your american prisoners

Mexico is finally (about GD time) at 2.2 children/family (the right ratio to maintain population) so hopefully immigation will slow. We can blame it on the pope for his anti-birth control measures.

Or you can blame it on people screwing like chimpanzees. Sometimes I think the human race needs more natural predators. :)

I'm for granting Amnesty. These Mexicans are hard working people who work at jobs that most Americans don't want to do. I also think they're good for our overall economy. I don't think they are a drain on our society at all. I think their contributions outweigh their "drain" on our society. I love seeing hard-working people "make it" in our country.

I'm pretty much for welcoming everybody that is law abiding and "loves" America. The only people I don't want here are people who hate us and want to kill us by slashing our stewardess with boxcutters and flying our airplanes into buildings (and other crazy stuff).

I was thinking more along the lines of maybe some great big birds that would swoop down and snatch up some of these excess children. Maybe some genetically mutated house pets like giant cats and killer parrots.

Aw, I thought we came in here to bash Amesty International. :( Now I'm disappointed. :p

I am not for any sort of help to anyone living in the U.S. Illegally whatsoever.

Little touchy are we? Did someone recently loose their job to an immigrant?

No, just don't think our country has a future, if we continue like this.

Their economic benefit probably far outways their economic drain, even if you look at them in those terms, not even as human beings.

bigdude - after you lock up all the illegal Mexican immigrants, are you prepared to take over thier jobs? I'd love to see you bent over in a field cutting lettuce for 10 hours for $25 or so (total for 10 hours, not $25/hour).

Yes, the Mexicans are destroying our economy....

Breaking the law, contrary to popular belief it is illegal to sneak across the border. ;)

So you think they should be jailed for being in the wrong place? That doesn't seem a bit harsh to you? If you were caught trespassing, would you find a jail term a bit harsh? I mean, I can see sending them back, but putting them in jail, when they've really done nothing wrong except be in the wrong place....

If you're not in the country legally, as a legal immigrant or nationalized citizen, or with a Visa or something, get out!

I don?t have any problem with immigrant farm workers legally working fields in the US. My problem is their not just trespassing they are knowingly breaking US laws. We have no idea who these people are or where they are from. How would you feel if someone decided they wanted to camp in your backyard? Would you like it? :)

They're not camping in anyone's backyard, they're renting cheapapartments, or a small house and sharing it with 2 families. They do important work, that most US citizens won't do, unless you're going to tell me you pick strawberries for a living.
As far as breaking US laws, well, yes they are. But, we all break laws everyday. When was the last time you drove faster than 65mph, or copied a CD, etc? These people aren't breaking this law because they want to defy the US, they're not breaking the law to get free music, or to save 5 minutes on thier commute, either. These people are breaknig the law because they want to feed thier families, and they want thier children to have the opportunity to get an education.
I guess we don't know who these people are, but we do know something about them. They're poor families from Mexico. If you're worried about Drug lords or Terrorists living in the US illegally, beleive me, they're not going to hide out in a lettuce field.
