This country is being rotted out by the influx of illegal Mexicans.[....] This country will die not because of Terrorism, but because of this passive invasion from the south.

The U.S needs minorities. Illegals, sure but Bush has allowed them a way to the U.S using a work visa.

Play poker with the illegals and take their money. I work at circuit city now and that's how I inflate my paycheck. Plus illegals = $10 lawnmowing.

"Invaded"? They perform a very useful function in our economy, just ask California farmers (you know, "middle america"), among other things. I don't understand why people are so opposed to this...our country used to be all about immigration and "moving to America to start a better life". I know it's illegal for a lot of them, but I think it's helping more than hurting. Besides, my family is pretty new here too. I'm not comfortable having my family move in and then tell others they aren't welcome.

You talk like working at CC is some kind of accomplishment. If the Illegals could speak proper "Engrish" they could do your job. Hell at Fry's they don't even have to use "Engrish" as their first language to get a job there

Making $10 an hour (not counting poker) is pretty damn good for a high school kid, at least where I live. 90% of our school that works does so at shoprite for $6.

Imagine if they could get some Haitian to do it for $5 an hour!

There are jobs that only immigrant workers will do. For that they should get guest worker visas. Any Employer who knowingly hires illegals should be fined and/or incarcerated.

Interesting, and worth looking into a little more I think.

But I have a problem with any "study" that bills us as "natives". Almost all of us are immigrants at some point, most of us pretty recently.

Also, of course illegal immigration costs money. But what about the economic benefits? Any data on that? I'm not being accusatory here, just wondering because I haven't made a huge study of this. Perhaps I spoke too soon before, but some more data would help.

Its not the job that people wont do, its the wages that people will work for. Employers need to raise wages so they are attractive to Americans. Everyone keeps whining about horrible employment numbers, yet they support handing perfectly good service jobs over to citizens of another country.

Who do you think works the day shift?

Any self-supporting adult who works at one of this places is a complete loser anyway.

So how would the US realistically stop a good portion of illegal immigration? Build a gigantic wall on the southern border?

I would like for illegal immigration to be stopped, but increase legal immigration to compensate as well as guest worker passes or whatever to start up.

Legal Immigrants VS Illegal Immigrants. Two COMPLETELY different things. My Grandparents were LEGAL immigrats, and im willing to bet your family was LEGAL as well.

I personally have never seen an actual study showing benifits from massive ILLEGAL immigration. Studies that show benifits never differentiate between LEGAL and ILLEGAL, so you cant draw any conclusions. People always say, "They do Jobs others wont" or "They keep prices low" but thats just unsubstanciated mumbo jumbo fed to us by both political parties.

Democrats want illegal immigration to continue because they need "Need". It helps them advance their agenda of socialism.

Republicans want illegal immigration to continue because it keeps corporate profits high and wall street happy. WalMart employs massive number of Illegal immigrants in this country.

I agree. LEGAL immigration is benificial to this country, illegal immigration is not.

What needs to be done to stop the illegal invasion:

National Guard/Military patrolling our Borders.
Massive Fines for buisnesses who employ illegal immigrants.
No public funding of any kinds for illegal immigrants(Healthcare, schooling, etc...)
Children born by two illegal immigrants on US soil should not be considered a citizen of this country.

Thats a start.

I guess you can say that we are outsourcing within the US. If you think about it, many software companies are outsourcing jobs to India because it will cost them about 12 dollars an hour per programmer employee, where as in American the standard is about 50 dollars and hour. Similarly, why would an employer hire someone who is going to expect 10 dollars and hour to clean restrooms when they can find someone who is willing to do it for about 6 an hour?

It would probably be much cheaper to just dig a mile wide ditch between mexico and the US, and drop barbed wire and plant land mines thruout it
