Well from what I've heard, estimates of illegal Mexican immigrants range from 8-20 million(don't quote me, I think that's right). Now I know there are plenty of hard working Mexicans, but if I had to take a guess I would say there are more illegal Mexicans per capita on welfare in the United States then there are Actually citizens on wellfare - per capita, just to make that clear. I think that in the U.S., immigrants that can prove that they are employed and supporting themselves - and have been for six months should be allowed to stay, and the rest should be shipped back to Mexico, while the tax money that would have been going to support there laziness should instead be used to help in some way(what way I don't know, but I'm sure someone could think of something) the Mexican economy, so that there is not such a strong desire to get to the greener grass on the other side of the 'fence.' One more thing, border security, border security, border security. Have the national guard build a 10 foot chain link fence with razer wire at the top and a maintained road next to it all along the border and patrol it well, they won't get across so easily then.
