I don't want to see immigration "reform"; I want to see illegal aliens deported and employers punished as per the law of the land.

It won't happen because Democrats covet the Hispanic vote, and Republicans covet big business that benefits from illegal alien slave wage labor.

If you went after those that hired them and made it (the punishments) so bad they wouldn't hire them anymore, they'd leave or stop coming here.

Thats pretty much how I see it.
I finally accepted the fact they are coming in and no one is going to stop them, and they will be taking over in a generation or two.
I might piss and moan about it every so often, because theres no law saying I have to like it. But I learned to think more like "how do I deal with this knowing for certain it will happen" rather than "how do I fight this"?

All of which would go away with immigration reform, currently being blocked by Repubs. Not particularly shocking.

You mean which would go away by giving illegals amnesty.

You can only pass so much legislation in a 2 year period, and sorry but healthcare and financial regulatory reform are pretty important.

If capitulation, submission and fear are the methods you believe in then you are right, I dont know how to solve problems in America.

Never claimed that illegal aliens should have those rights alll I did was question the credibility of Fux noise.

in other words, you were just an attemptintg to divert from the topic of illegal's by questioning the source.

The "real" border is now the Mid west and the East, the SW states are pretty much over run already by illegals and many parts would have you swearing you were in Mexico and not the US. And not surprisingly, the illegals are streaming East now since the West has turned to poo in most places [just like Mexico]. Once the whole country turns to poo I guess Canada is next ?? Hope their border patrol is better than ours.

it is by 100% and so are their immigration laws.

Most of the people that pay illegals in cash are not paying any employer required ss,plus cash recipients are not paying SS either. Before any amnesty I want to see a tax return for every year of illegality with proof they paid for SS and income tax.

It's common sense. "Amnesty" in the form of (small) fines and testing on basic knowledge of U.S. history should be perfectly acceptable to most. This notion that we can seal the border immediately is nonsense, it can't be done enough to satisfy conservatives because immigrants can always get in if they're really determined. We're always going to have illegals, that's just a fact of life. And I'm sorry, but it's not an epidemic if they get into the country, they do more good than harm and that's just a reality nativists are going to have to live with. The obsession with illegals has nothing to do with being here illegally to many conservatives and everything to do with them being "foreign", "different" and "un-American". That's really the crux of it.

Are you arguing that we should effectively have no border? If you can't seal it and continually grant amnesty to those who make it here, giving even more incentive for the rest to follow, what is the point of spending ANY money trying to stop illegal immigration? Why don't we just open all of our borders to the entire world and let whoever can make it here stay?
