What would be the best methods to resolve the illegal immigrant problem? Should America open  borders to all?

Put armed snipers every 500 yards with licennse to kill. I know many people that would volunteer for the priviledge. Every one that comes here takes away a job and health care from someone who has the right to be here. As for the rest of them gather them up the the slime dogs they are and load them into b-52 bombers and push them out at 30,000 feet back into mexico. Once they see people falling from the sky and friends getting heads blowb off after crossing the line maybe they would take the hint. No, borders should not be open. This country has homeless people everywhere and does not take care of their own. We must take care of our own people before we help anyone else.

The best thing to do would be to heavily fine and then imprison any employer hiring illegals. It's against the law to hire illegals and the law should be enforced.\n\nOf course, we know this won't happen. I don't know what's wrong with our elected politicians and law enforcement. They're putting illegals above American citizens.

Fence is not the proper solution to curb immigration.  The US must give aid for development of its neighboring countries so that people will improve their standard of living in their home countries and will not come to America for greener pastures.

Kick them all out then sort out the good from the bad. Confiscate their belongings to pay for deportation and border protection. Even the children of illegals make then apply for citizenship. Go after employers who hire them.

We have to be smart. Walls and intense surveillance on the borders shoot to kill drug smugglers and their police and Mexican army escorts.\n\nMake a legal way for those in the country to become legal, since sending them all back is NOT a real option; it is just an emotional answer.\n\nDeny all services to undocumented aliens, no driver’s license, no welfare, no food stamps.\n\nMake conversational English requirement for all who desire citizenship. We do not want to disparage their roots, but it is the LEGAL language of the USA. Opportunities get better for them when they speak both languages, so MAKE IT SO FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS (not just Latin).\n\nAmend the Constitution to revoke instant citizenship for anyone born here, this will stop the "anchor baby" problem. The rule should be one citizen OR LEGAL immigrant parent. That is more than fair and just.\n\nOnce that is implemented, open immigration to people in record numbers, because the illegals would be cut so far down, thousands of others would be able come in. Allow legal immigrants to share in social services, that is fair.\n\nI don't even think that it would be bad for the USA to allow children to attend schools that live across the border in Mexico, BUT if we want to allow that, we need to have Uncle Sam PAY FOR IT. It would be a nice way of being friends after the 30 foot walls go up!

The ONLY way we will ever solve the illegal immigrant problem is to take away the incentive for them to come here. If they couldn't get jobs and free social services without legal status, they wouldn't keep coming.

Let's just solve it all!  Add all of Mexico to our country, abolish the minimum wage, & our problems will go away fast!

The problem with America is that Americans do not know how good they have it and want complete perfection even though they already have it.\n\nRemember the biggest issue in America right now is how do we control the great amount of people trying to get into this country.\n\nHow are things going in the Middle East, would you like to live there you cannot choose your religion and you will live in poverty your whole life and be at war most of the time.  And you won't be a volunteer either you will be pulled out of your house at gun point.\n\nIs Africa a good place to live no food, with certain tribes controling what food is brought in and using it as the way to have power.\n\nHow about Asia 1.1 Billion people in India with a cast system that will dictate your place in life.  Or China with 1.5 Billion people who can only have 1 child which of course needs to be a male (because females in that culture have no value) so you abort all of the females.  Japan where which is also overpopulated where you take on a multigenerational loan to buy a piece of property that you will hand the debt down to your children.  \n\nIn South America the governments and countries are in such bad shape that they are using a barter system rather then currency because of how those govenments have handled their debt\n\nCloser to home there is Canada do you think there is a reason why 90% of the population lives within 50 miles of our border?  In Mexico do you want to live on $4000 a year and try crossing the border over and over until you can get here.\n\nIn Europe you would not be able to afford to live the lifestyle you live in America and there is a 10 - 15% chance that you would be unemployed.  The depression rate in Europe is very high and people are generaly not very happy.\n\nIf you want America to be strong participate in the process, honor other voters choices until you can put the people in charge that you want.  Offer solutions to problems rather than demonizing other solutions.

secure the borders (both) then begin a systematic deportation process in tandem with strict fines and possible revocation of business licenses for employers who are not properly validating perspective employee work status.\n\nI am in line with 77% of Americans who support the house on enforcement. Just as before...Amnesty will not work. It has been tried and it is in part responsible for the national domestic crisis that America is facing now.\n\nMexico is NOT doing enough. They are actually encouraging this behavior in a big way. The Mexican government seems in way over their heads. I do not believe there is any thing the Mexican government can do to clean up the corruption that has brought that country to it's knees short of bringing in the U.N.  I am surprised that the people of Mexico have yet to organize a labor strike in their own country.

I think the best, complete answer would be to just flat out buy Mexico. Think about it...The workforce would multiply exponentially...our land mass would double...not to mention the resources....we would have a border of a few miles to defend. They're all coming here anyway...let's all have a chance as Americans to purchase super cheap land...setup low cost businesses...etc..etc.\n\nI know the concept of "purchasing" Mexico...is a rather simplistic one..but The United States of North America would become the world's largest superpower without question...Our technology and economy...their workforce and land combined would make us unbeatable for decades to come...Everybody wins...they get the lifestyle they're desperate for, we get the land, security and population growth problem under control...it's win win...now if we could just talk to Canada...cause we all know those sneaky Canadians are eyeing Seattle..

I think that it is a start, but it doesn't solve the problem enough. There needs to be a wall built all along the border to keep the illegals out.

I see it simply as this:  America has decided it is illegal to cross out borders without filing paperwork.  If you do it, you are guilty of a crime.  There is a huge debate right now over what to do with illegal immigrants, but it seems simple to me.  Either change the law (make it legal), or enforce the law (send them home).  There is no point in having a law if you aren't willing to enforce it!

It could all be resolved simply by posting troops on the border. Since 9-11, the rules have changed, if mexicans or whoever at any border can come across freely so can terrorists. I say troops on the border for national security.
