I don't think ti is completely realistic to think we can stop ALL illegal immigration. If there are countries that have more oppression(hard to believe) than America, or a pay rate that is such that people can not afford to live on it, then there will be people seeking out "the American Dream". When you ask if legislators are biased or prejudiced against certain groups of people, the answer is MOST DEFINITELY! When asked why Canadians weren't being targeted as were Mexicans...a certain politician just blushed and refused to answer the question....America needs to wake up to the biased agenda of this administration- abomination.

What can we do to stop illegals?\n1. Actually enforce the immigration laws currently on the books.\n\n2. Imprison the landlords, employers and anyone giving any assistance to illegals.\n\n3. Place automated cameras and remote operated fully automatic weapons on the border.\n\n4. Deny citizenship to children of illegal aliens.\n\n5. Set up an actual hotline for people to report the presence of suspected illegal aliens in the workplace or neighborhood.\n\n6. Adopt English as the official national language making it easier to identify people that are not citizens. Even if you must use broken English, although humorous at times, it is understandable and you will get better at it if you try. If you can't speak English you obviously are not a citizen, where is your visa?\n\n7. Adopt English only for all government paperwork to help eliminate the filing for benefits by foreign nationals with the one exception of visa applications.\n\nWhy are they harming us?\n1. They want a better life. We can't blame them for that, but it is not our job to support them nor should we look the other way from the crime of illegal entry. If they wish to have the same rights as our citizens, they can apply for citizenship after they have met all of the other legal requirements.\n\nHow are they harming us?\n1. By draining billions of our tax dollars with free medical care, requiring the hiring of Spanish language teachers due to the fact that they refuse to learn English, welfare benefits for children of illegals.\n\n2. 15-20 or more people living in a single family residence creates unsanitary living conditions and lowers the values of all of the neighboring properties. If you want to live in these kinds of filthy conditions, you can do that in your own country; do not drag our neighborhoods down.\n\n3. Over crowding in the schools is making it so that our own citizens cannot get a decent education.\n\n4. Refusing to immigrate legally bypasses the required health screen and allows previously eradicated diseases back into the country.\n\n5. Illegals accepting jobs at below minimum wage suppresses the wages of our own citizens.\n\n6. Using stolen SSN and other US identification wreaks havoc for taxpayers by totally screwing up the tax bracket they are currently in, forcing people to waste hundreds of hours to even attempt to get this straightened our with the IRS.\n\n7. Illegals often support themselves with drug smuggling bringing the drugs across the border with them.

No. It's not worth the hassle of going thru the charade.  \nPretending for Immigration is a full time job.  You have to become a professional liar to get and keep your story straight.  Not worth it!

I don't know who started it but it should be stopped.  We should ALL just be AMERICANS.

Yes. \nMaybe we should just stop arming other countries and worry about ourselves.

Good... and tell all your other people to stop coming over too.\n\nIf Obama runs.. we'll be set.

You have hit every reason why ILLEGAL immigration should be stopped.  No nation allows this, and no nation can survive it.

Look - I have nothing against immigrants.  It's the ILLEGAL part I (and most conservatives) have a problem with.  If we allow anyone to just walk on in, with no background checks, etc. we will have no control on who comes in and what their motives are.  And it has to be at a controlled pace.  If we set no limits on legal immigration,  our society would be overwhelmed with housing, medical, jobs, schooling, demands, etc.  What do you think would happen if one day we just said "anyone in the world who wants to come to America" come on over right now and just walk on in"? \n\nAnd if you are going to come here, LEARN THE LANGUAGE AND SPEAK IT!\notherwise, we will be so divided in different little groups, no one will have anything in common to make them feel like Americans.  My great-grandparents came here from Germany, and they learned the language and assimilated into America. That is the way America works.\nSee - no problem - just do it legally

out if there illegal. Otherwise let them stay, but, illegal immigrants are costing us money, even if they do jobs nobody else will do. That's like saying illgeal immigrants are at the very very bottom of the totem pole.

I'm against; but i do realize that a small portion should be given amnesty,(Speaking of only thousands, not millions) The rest should be deported back to their native land and some should be given a temporary VISA on probation to see if it would work for them to be citizens, If not, they go back too, But only people who honestly turn themselves in should be given such opportunities.\n\nAn idealist view would be to say " they're all illegal. GET THEM OUT". But in reality, that wouldn't happen.\nI just think we should stop anymore from coming but deal with the people we already have.\n\nSometimes you just have to meet in the middle.

Hm... Maybe you should read the news of the big CRACKDOWN on ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. \n\nTry another country.

Hell yes! We are the ones being affected by illegal immigration, so we should decide what to do about it. The ones who disagree know that they would lose. They see the poll results on websites and news channels, and realize that most citizens are for deporting illegals and against amnesty.

I think we should use technology to assist with illegal immigration. At one point in our history we had the room and need for a huge immigrant population, but those times are behind us. We need better border control for our economy and our safety.

Never!  Americans by our very nature are immigrants.  I think that illegal immigration is a problem, and there are solutions.  But to deport every person who is an immigrant is not only impossible, it is wrong.  All of us are immigrants.  I think the question should be about illegal immigrants and what we can do to solve the problem.

Yes, it needs to be stopped.  If people want to come to America and bring their culture that is fine as long as they don't expect their new country to change go out of its way for them.  Become bi-cultural, join the new one but also preserve yours.  And come legally

IMMIGRATION - time to say ENOUGH! \n\nOn current demographic trends, we, the native British people, will be an ethnic minority in our own country within sixty years. To ensure that this does not happen, and that the British people retain their homeland and identity, we call for an immediate halt to all further immigration, the immediate deportation of criminal and illegal immigrants, and the introduction of a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin assisted by a generous financial incentives both for individuals and for the countries in question. We will abolish the 'positive discrimination' schemes that have made white Britons second-class citizens. We will also clamp down on the flood of 'asylum seekers', all of whom are either bogus or can find refuge much nearer their home countries. \n\nEUROPE - back to British independence! \n\nWe are opposed to the Single European Currency, and support the overwhelming majority of the British people in their desire to keep the Pound and our traditional weights and measures. At the same time, we are for the best possible relationship with our European neighbours and believe that the nations of Europe should be free to trade and cooperate whenever it is mutually beneficial, though without being forced into a political and economic straitjacket - political unification. Accordingly, we stand for British withdrawal from the European Union. In place of the EU, we intend to aim towards greater national self-sufficiency, and to work to restore Britain's family and trading ties with Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and to trade with the rest of the world as it suits us. Following our withdrawal from the EU, the BNP will use the £43 million per day net contribution Britain at present makes to the European Union to fund many far more useful projects at home. \n\nLAW AND ORDER - crack down on crime! \n\nThe BNP will crack down on crime and restore public safety and confidence. We will free the police and courts from the politically correct straitjacket that is stopping them from doing their job properly. The liberal fixation with the 'rights' of criminals must be replaced by concern for the rights of victims, and the right of innocent people not to become victims. We support the re-introduction of corporal punishment for petty criminals and vandals, and the restoration of capital punishment for paedophiles, terrorists and murderers as an option for judges in cases where their guilt is proven beyond dispute, as by DNA evidence or being caught red-handed. \n\nECONOMY - British workers first! \n\nGlobalisation, with its export of jobs to the Third World, is bringing ruin and unemployment to British industries and the communities that depend on them. Accordingly, the BNP calls for the selective exclusion of foreign-made goods from British markets and the reduction of foreign imports. We will ensure that our manufactured goods are, wherever possible, produced in British factories, employing British workers. When this is done, unemployment in this country will be brought to an end, and secure, well-paid employment will flourish, at last getting our people back to work and ending the waste and injustice of having more than 4 million people in a hidden army of the unemployed concealed by Labour's statistical fiddles. We further believe that British industry, commerce, land and other economic and natural assets belong in the final analysis to the British nation and people. To that end we will restore our economy and land to British ownership. We also call for preference in the job market to be given to native Britons. We will take active steps to break up the socially, economically and politically damaging monopolies now being established by the supermarket giants. Finally we will seek to give British workers a stake in the success and prosperity of the enterpr
