You know, I worked with an illegal for several years and from what he told me not all of Mexico is horrible to live in, it actually sounds pretty darned nice. I asked him why he wanted to leave and basically he told me just for some money. His plan is to stay here and work for 10 or so years and then return home. Also, my best bud's friend is an engineer for Caterpillar and they transfered him down to Mexico several years ago and he loves it down there.
I've got nothing against Mexican folks moving here but they've got to start doing it through the proper channels. There's alternatives to those who are in bad situations down in Mexico. If they can come up with $2500-$5000 to pay a coyote to bring them in illegally, then they have the resources to make their home better.

This is what a comprehensive guest worker program would be great for. He would pay taxes in exchange for being allowed to work here but because he is not a citizen, that money would go to the Us government or state governments etc.
Exactly, that would be an excellent idea. The only problem is if they would initiate such a program without addressing the illegal immigrate situation, more folks would continue coming in illegally than going through the program. Shoot, how many folks would take a chance of just being slapped on the wrist for not paying taxes?

If they don't pay taxes deport them. simple as that.
To initiate it, grant a one year tax waiver for all of those are already here and make any new immigrants start paying immeidately.
Sure it will make life for them a complete hell, but this way it is fair. If they want america but don;t want to pledge their allegiance to old glory, jsut make 'em pay.
Simple as that huh? How much will it cost to make sure they pay their taxes and monitor employers. I would imagine it would be a net loss............
Eh, who cares if they pay taxes, sure they SHOULD but people need to look at the big picture, not that stupid dude in the corner who is 10 pixels/dots tall and is apparently mounting a donkey..
So they pay taxes like good americans, so what; they hopped the border, got jobs here, are uneducated, provide no benefit to the economy besides mask the rate of inflation, drain the system from needy citizens, and then all of a sudden we give them amnesty. This effectively lets all of them cut in line in becoming citizens while we have all these people from asia and other parts of the world who are educated, and could benefit us but are stuck in line, like law abiding people, wating to get in the country and eventually becoming citizens.
I think while this may seem incredibly rude and unethical, line them up in becoming citizens at some government building, walk them into a room which is really the back of a jail car, lock the car, drive the damned car across the border and drop them off, continuing this until most if not all of them are gone, then sealing up the borders.. Look at the facts, they're not citizens therefore THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS, if they want to b1tch and moan about their rights being violated, too bad, they're not citizens, maybe they should go across the border, get in line, become a citizen and then b1tch, by then they won't care anymore..
