Ludicrous idea.  Next thing you know these politicians will label these folks as "livelihood-terrorists".  What harm exactly are these immigrants causing?  If anything, they're keeping the economy rolling right along.

Yeah, we all support them with the money we are forced by taxation to pay to meet their needs while they live tax free. And no, I don't want to support them because it lessen the amount of cash I have to support myself. What part of illegal doesn't our government understand? They need to be arrested, prosecuted and then ship them home pronto! Otherwise every American person arrested for an 'illegal' act should sue for wrongful detainment/discrimination.

All the protection we need is in the US Constitution...but no one upholds it even though they take an oath to do so! Try looking into the '861' tax code. It will explain how far the government goes to rip the people off.

Unfortunately the U.S. Government has a law that says that the military cannot arrest. They will only be there to assist in spotting, and/or rounding up illegals crossing our borders. This is so stupid....we still don't have enough detention center space to keep all these people, so are they just going to keep releasing them to do as they please, or are they going to send them directly back home? If they are going to just release them, we may as well just open the borders and hang a big WELCOME sign.

I am in favour of this - COUNT ME IN!  DEPORT THEM ALL!  NO EXCEPTIONS, NO EXCUSES, NO COMPROMISES, NO AMNESTY!  Get whatsherface out of the church and ship her over the border asap, and any other illegal aliens as soon as they are found!  \n\nI read in the news recently that the FBI arrested 10,000 criminals in a one week sting - if this can be done, more than 10,000 illegal aliens can also be found and deported every week.  If this is done consistently, yes, we WILL deport ALL of the illegal aliens - no more of this "we can't possibly deport 12 million illegals.  YES, WE CAN!!  To heck with the cost of deportation - if we get busy and consistent with deportation, it won't be long before many will run back across the border out of the USA on their own steam!  If, at the same time, we also hammer ALL companies who hire illegals, even if it means fining them to the point where they have to shut down business, sobeit!!  And, at the same time, shut off ALL access to social benefits such as food stamps, medicaid, illegal children in our schools, etc., believe me, they will start leaving on their own very soon.  \n\nSo, yes, I'm IN FAVOUR!

i think there should be a reporting program, and we should get incentives just like "yahoo answers". maybe every 50 aliens we report that gets deported we get a $2.00 off our gas.(it's a start)

If these were Americans detained for this amount of  time in another country we would do what we seem to do best....go to war. I don't think we should just let them go, but I do think they should be tried in an American Court of Law.

Sarah is very smart. The idiot above has no answer for what to do with the 12 million that are here.\n\nEnforce the laws? You mean round up 12 million and put them in jail for breaking our law? Idiot.\n\nYou put in place a practical means to keep them working and contributing to society, paying taxes and offering a means to citizenship (which might include a fine) and you also increase border security to stem the problem.\n\nIt infuriates me to listen to these knuckleheads say "send 'em back" or "they broke the law". Like there's a practical means to do something about it. \n\nBunch of racist bigotted idiots who said the same thing to my grandparents when they came over here from Ireland.\n\nYou go Sarah!

Stand by, they're on their way, Should be interesting how they'll rationalize, minimize, deny, and blame in defense of their criminal leader. Bush and his criminal administration should be put on trial for their crimes against America and humanity.

First thing I can see ,is that none of these people no anything about what they are talking about .Have any of them been to prison (no ) .So how do they no what its like (they dont).I have been there and its not like a country club . 75 percent of the people in our prison system are there for nonviolent offenses .That means offenses where there was no victem . Mainly drug offenses . They dont know that these people do workfor state and federal governments who sell products they make and are paid differant amounts from $5 an hour to $10 an hour in some places and pay prisoners 20 to 50 cents an hour . (slave labor) the federal prison system sold the defense dept billions of dollars in work and products made by prisoners and put american companies out of busness that can't compete with some one with no labor costs .They also don't tell you they robbed these people that are sent to prison ,for offenses where there was no victem of thier moneyand poperty before sent there .(billions of dollars) or that they pay rent and fines out of the 20 cents ph  paid and the phone calls are charged inflated rates knowing they will call family .Or that they put these nonviolent offenders in space made for 1 person they will have 4 people .Or that these nonviolent offenders are then victemized by violent preditors that prisons were designed for .Or that felons are not able to get any kind of funds to go to college to better thier lifes.Or that government hasd now made about 1 in 3 people in our society felons by legislators voiolating our bill of rights .Or that felons still have to pay taxes but are not alowed to vote (taxation without representation)They say it costs $30,000 a year to keep a person in prison a year .You can go to school at the best university for $10,000 a year .Robbing these people for offenses where they haven't hurt anyone and putting them in prison for years is one level; above Hitler .Governments have been able to justify victemizing people for financial gain to any extent since time began .(indians ,jews,slaves )ou believe the propaganda our government puts out .Is there anything about government that is true anymore .

it is such an enormous and expensive problems and i did reported an illegals aliens once to the proper authorities and guess what happen, after a couple of days i saw the person back at work and the employers just paying the fine, is their any kind of legal organization that we can join or contribute some money to solve such problem which is beginning to choke this country to death to the point that their will be more lawbreakers than law abiding citizen in this country once they are given amnesty which the democrats are planning to do just to insure that they will be in the white house come 2008!! God help the USA.

You already have alot of good answers only thing that I could add would be to up the cost to the employer if caught make them pay dearly. Even to taking away their freedom if that is what it takes maybe the threat of jail time would solve the problem.

He probably is guilty as charged. I would hate to be in scooters shoes. Bush will be out to get him now. But the truth is cleansing.

Damn good plan.  It is too hard for people to run non-partisan web sites now a days.  Maybe we should contact our Secretary of State and suggest this idea and see what they say.

How did 12 Million Mexicans get inside of America with Bush's fool-proof Patriot Act anyway? The news says 2 Million of them got in America in the last 3 months. What the hell! How many Arabs came in with them? What the hell! So do you really think there is a National security threat defcon-5 in America? What the hell! Do you think somebody has been feeding America alot crap all along, like say "ALL OF THE REPUBLICANS" and the whole Bush Administration? Myself I am really sick of there abuse and crap they spew out of there mouths. Bill Frist, Republican from Tennessee said he was going to do something about it without G.Dubya's help. So the Republicans are back-peddling on the own Administration on this issue right now. You can't blame anything on the Democrats; because they don't have any vote the Congress is total majority Republican. It's their problem and their fault with their fool-proof Patriot Act. America was never in any threat at all, and the Republicans played the Fear Card on Americans. That's real Bull, and they need punished for it. I call it Treason, Bush should be Impeached for being the biggest lier in the history of America.

American criminals are America's problem.  \n Criminal trespassers from other countries are becoming America's problem, to the detriment of all Americans.

I support a guest worker program. I think it's impossible to throw all of them out. How are we going to find 12 million illegals? I'm a realist and know that we have to build a fence and send troops to guard it. But I know that is impossible to find all of the illegals here. We need to fine employers who hire illegals and reduce legal immigration with quotas. Illegal immigration is a serious problem and needs to be stopped.
