Good question sir.. I believe it will provide tighter control on entry and exist of legal border crossing only. By definition, illegal immigration occurs by illegal pessage ways. The ID cards don't apply to illegal pessage ways..right ? If someone from Mexico and Canada is datermined to cross the broder from a dark ally, they still will, ragardless of the use of an ID card at the legal crossings i.e. a border. The two issues are totally separate.

Honey, not only mexicans come in through the mexican border. Fyi there's been plenty of europeans, central, south americans, asian, africans and middle easteners that come in through the mexican border.

No.  You got it all wrong!  A border is just a border, but the real meaning is in the law.  One side of ther border is Mexico, and the other side of the border is the United States of America.\n\nIf Mexican people want to emigrate, they should do so in a lawful way.  You can't just say "this used to be Mexico" and cross the border illegally.  \n\nWhich part of "illegal" do you not understand?  Much of the blame falls on the Mexican government rather than the people.  The Mexican government should invest in its people and focus on the economy rather than depending on its people to just flee to another country.\n\nCan't imagine how much corruption there is in Mexico.

It's mainly Mexicans. Due to the fact we share a large border with Mexico, there are constantly people crossing legally and illegally. The problem is that the coyotes have ways of getting them across, they probably have connections with border patrol.

It makes me seriously consider renouncing my citizenship, moving to a foreign country, then comming back across the border as an undocumented immigrant (illegal alien).  They have more rights than we do now.

You should go back to your country if you don't have the immigration status anymore. I am sorry but you have to go back because you guys broke the immigration law.

Being that the Mexican border is connected to our country it makes it very easy for people from Mexico to sneek here illegaly. They same could be said for Canada, however, because Canada is not such a poor country the people don't feel the need to escape their situations as much as the people in Mexico. So a majority of the immigrants in this country that have came here illegaly have been from mexico. It has been a hot political topic for so long now and in the eye of the media that when we hear "illegal immigrant" we automatically think south of the border. On the east coast however, there is more of a mixture of people from other countrys that are here illegally.

If the truth be nowen, he was a handy man, not just a carpenter.A jack of all trades.Your guess is as good as mine. One thing I do now is he would be homeless, and living at the shelter and a day worker.If he came to America, he would be an illegal alien.

infiltrated borders are basically people who have gotten past border security illegally\n\nillegal immigrants are the people who infiltrated the borders and managed to prevent getting caught

Please note, there are quite a number of illegal immigrants in our prisons and jails, for rape, murder, drug smuggling and theft. Because they crossed the border illegally, it means that criminals also crossed the border. Without a system, anybody can come in, no matter how diseased or criminal.\n\nAmazingly enough, not all law-breaking illegal immigrants are honest and hard-working people.

They didn't only immigrate to Canada.. They probably left because they thought they would have a better life.  Isn't that why most people immigrate?

It's not easy to get here legally. In order to be granted a right to come here legally you have to show proof that you are wealthy (or at least well off) in you country. They want to know you have an incentive to go back. \n\nThe majority of people who are crossing here illegally don't have the assets needed. That's why they are coming here...in search of a dream.\n\nThey are here doing jobs that most of us would not want to do. If anybody who was born here, and educated here, feels they are being robbed by illegals (who probably don't even speak English) then I have to say that particular person has real low expectations of themselves. I don't think we should blame others for our own failures.

be suspicious, of anyone crossing your borders illegally... if it isn't a crime, it should be... if someone enters your home without permission, then it is trespass or burglary, if you are crossing a border without the knowledge of the relevant authorities, then you will of course be committing a crime. Any person who does this would of course also, be aware they are committing a crime... personally speaking I'd say if there is no absolute genuine reason for any person crossing a border, especially in this day and age of globalised terrorism, they should be deported, straight away, no messing about with paperwork... they should also be handed over too there native countries authorities... if someone is pleading persecution, then the question has to be asked... Why are they being persecuted in the first place? Was it because they themselves have committed a crime?\nIt's a hard question to answer, but every nation has a right to defend it's borders... \nThe real answer is quite possibly... it is already too late, as the enemy is already within!
