The US does'nt need felons from the get go. Anyone who crosses is breaking the law instead of going though legal channels. How much more are they going to break the law once they get here?. Illegals also cost us more than they benefit us in so called "low wages" in crime, education expense and medical expense which thier paltry wages can't hope to match. To reward illegal aliens for lawbreaking is also an open invitation to the world to immigrate to this country.

Meh USA is going to a banana republic anyway being the world largest debtor, losing it's industrial base, and it's money is practicaly in free fall so they should feel at home.

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.

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


Whatever works.

Just enforce the immigration laws.

It's not an invasion, it's a liberation ;)

Perhaps things will look like pre-1848 mexico some day... I wouldn't doubt it.

Which will mean US troops patroling the border with Mexico because Border Patrol is clearly inadequate for the task. What about the millions thats already in? I don't think mass deportation will happen in our lifetime.

BS it would mean atually investigating a call someone makes the DHS, it would mean actually fining employers for hiring illegals.

Right now there is no enforcement, just govt workers suckig the tax payer teat. If you doubt me call DHS and if you're not hung up on first wait and see them never come out for your call. Hire some illegals to, they'll give you Fake SS #'s, then I9 is never sent in for investigatio nor prosecuted.

Tom Tancredo (R-CO) said, ?We could create 10 million jobs by merely enforcing our immigration laws.? and he was'nt kidding. His site is littered with failures cheap-labor buerocrates want americans subjected to.

And you don't think the cost of maintaining a constant patrol of the borders would be high as well? I'm all in favor of the last 2 things on your list though.

We dont need to deport anyone. What needs to happen is the incentive for them to stay has to be gone via the methods I stated above. Then they willleave on their own accord. The fact of the matter is though, the government doesnt enforce immigration laws whatsoever.

Please we don't need "border patrol" that's just another governemnt welfare program. You think Austria has it? or any other country? They don't need it cause they hit the problem on the back end. Want to go to school? bettter be a citizen of legal immigrant. Want a job? Better be a citizen of legal immigrant. Etc.

What about the big corporates who OUTSOURCE work to countries like puerto rico, india, MEXICO...because they ENJOY having people there working for pennies/day which would cost them much more HERE. ?!

Its rather ironic seeing people blaming the common working immigrant from mexico but being totally SILENT seeing major corporates all around outsourcing into the VERY SAME countries - at the cost of people here.

As I see.....Either companies outsource your job or fire you in favor of a foriegn worker they brought over or a illegal one if they can get away with it.

We are being invaded by Americans who happen to be from Mexico.

IMO its a good thing, better to have more Hispanics than say Muslims or whatever else.

Yes it would be better if you did'nt have 20-30 families controlling all of mexicos great wealth, all spanish, no indians. Instead of a revolution they take the easy road to redistributionist America. Meh. I don't mind in so far as blaming them, after all it was thiers in the first place and I would be the first accross border for better opportunity. However we seriously need to correct Mexicos lack of opportunity and robber barren era which is so 19th century.:p

/agree

i live in the "rio grandee valley" that?s the big rural part of Texas in the south that went for Kerry.

real mexican food made by real mexicans.

that involved a war of independence and selling part of it to America to pay off our debt.. that part is now called "Oklahoma".

Please we don't need "border patrol" that's just another governemnt welfare program.
basic home-land security would beg to differ.
