do you think sending the immigrants back will solve the problem?

Its impossible to send them all back,this is self evident. \nThe rich are getting richer employing illegals. The rich are the ones who contribute to the politicians,so I hope you see this circle.\nMost of our families ancestors came here legally,did the right thing,worked,respected the laws.payed taxes,and in time became citizens.\nWhat we have now ,and not all mind you, are millions not paying taxes,overburdoning our school systems,draining our heath care systems.I have to pay to send my kids to school,ie,, taxes. I have to pay to visit the emergency room if needed. Free clinics I avoid. I know someone who works at the local free clinic,they told me 99% of the people that go there are illegal. They do not use birth control,most have an S.T.D. This in turn is spreading desease throughout our country,increasing the illegal population as a whole.\n I see the protests and demonstrations all over the news. Like it or not,they are trying to take over our country,that is a fact,even waving flags saying, "This is our continent".\nThe government has done nothing for too long,I am afraid it is too late to control.\nOur society is too busy just trying to live day to day to get involved and push the government into real action. The ones who do get involved are just a notch above vigilantes.\nIt bothers me to say it,but I really see nothing short of all American citezens revolting against the government to get something happening.\nOur country is changing,fast,those in charge are selling,and in some cases giving our country away.\nIf you dont believe me,look at the port situation.

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.

Sounds like a good plan.  There are multitudes of ways to encourage illegals to deport themselves.

Are you asking if we should send migrants home to their countries of origins if convicted of some crimes in their host countries?\n\nIf that is your question, then I would say - "Definitely Yes!"\n\nWe have our share of criminals, but they are home grown, we can't help but keep them here and simply use the law to deal with them.\n\nIt's like a parents will deal with their naughty boy but still keep him at home.\n\nBut why would you keep someone else's naughty boy at your home when he caused trouble to you while visiting or staying over?  \n\nYou would send them home wouldn't you?\n\nThe same with governments.  We should send criminal homes to their countries of origins and let them be dealt with by their legal system.  Let them eat their prison food paid by their own tax payers.\n\nI think refugees should be given first a temporary asylum visas.  Check background and then be considered for PR.\n\nIf they claimed that their papers are destroyed and their ID cannot be confirmed, well give them the benefit of the doubt but have a clause for repatriation.\n\nI think this is fair ask.\n\nWant to come and live with us, be a useful member of the community.  Want to sit on their bottoms and have plenty of time to act out their crimes, go home!

A bit off topic perhaps, but your question reminds me of Carlos Mencia's solution to getting all of the illegals out of the U.S.: \n\nWe should completely open the border. Then all of the illegals come up into the U.S. and it gets too crowded here and all of the people they were trying to get away from in Mexico will be here so they'll migrate North to get away again and they'll all be Canada's illegal immigrants and we can change the slur to from "wetbacks" to "frostbacks."

I think they should be sent back and come back here LEGALLY.. it's not that hard... unless you are a criminal. Then you don't belong here anyways.

Definitely against.  I think there are way too many illegals in our country to make them all go back to Mexico.  I don't think they will go back without a fight.

I think they should come into the country legally then.  I'm not against anyone coming into this country to better their lives for them and their family...we all came here because our ancestors wanted a better life...well, accept for the Native Americans.  But the complaints have been because they've been coming in illegally, sending all their money back to Mexico, using our public services and not paying taxes.  Enough already...send them back and they either make their country better or find a way to legally come into ours.  I know of no other country which allows people to come into their country illegally and stay...but it is the U.S. which is taking flack for trying to get rid of our illegals.

Let them go back to their own countries voluntarily or else send them back with a life time bar to returning.\n\nIf they come back after deportation put them on a chain gang and let them do the "jobs that Americans won't" like cleaning out public sewers and building American public buildings/roads/parks.

Immigration is not the problem. The problem is illegal immigration, ie people who sneak across the border illegally. Think about it: the very first thing they do when they get here is break the law. They refuse to learn our language or assimilate into our culture. They don't pay into the tax system, but they sure reap the benefits.\n\nWhen my great grandparents came to the US, they waited at Ellis Island until they were permitted entry. They spoke Yiddish only when they didn't want their children to know what they were saying. They learned to become Americans, and expected no special treatment.

it would solve the illegal immigration issue, but the problem is they would still be here !!!!!!!!!!!! but why would Mexico want to be a part of the united states? they come and go as they wish and don't pay taxes !!!

MTPIZZO\nYou are part of the problem!!!\nThis country is diverse enough. we don't need any more immigrants and the illegal ones should be sent back. They suck our financial resources to to bone. The ones that don't work (and there's millions of 'em)get treated better than our own elderly that lived & worked their entire lives here. Think about it, why should WE (meaning YOU & me) pay for them to live here?\nThere are plenty of people here legally that can do "the jobs we don't want"\nOne of our local police dept's has started a campaign against illegals by arresting them for trespassing if caught in their town! NOW THAT'S THE WAY TO TREAT 'EM!\nFreedom of speech...here it is in all it's glory....\nSEND THEM ALL BACK!

I hope they sent all the illegals back where they came from.  If people want to come to this country, let them do it the legal way, not commit a crime to get here.

I think it doesn't matter either way.  They will all be back tomorrow.  It's just silly that they are punishing themselves by losing a whole days wages.  \n\nAlso, many people talk about how this country was built on Immigration.  Well yes, but at some point we must realize that things are out of control.  When this country was formed, there were not welfare programs that people could come here and mooch off of.  Furthermore, if these people had rallied like this in their own countries, maybe they could convince their own governments to take better care of things rather than taking things out on the people of this country.  I'm sure it isn't easy to be an immigrant but if we don't draw the line somewhere, this country is going to go straight to hell and we will all be immigrating to other countries to get out of this one!\n\nIf people want to come here to find a better life where they can work like the rest of us and actually contribute to society then great, c'mon over and legally go through the process.  However, many, many people coming into this country are bringing their bad ways with them and therefore bringing more drugs, crime and taking advantage of the benefits that should be for legal citizens only.  Our government is exactly right in wanting to stop these people from walking right in.

No. We should deport all those who came here or stayed here illegally.

Yes, and the answer to getting rid of them was simple.\nCall Immigration.  They love it when you give them an actual physical address and you let them use your home for surveilance.  \nI actually became really good friends with one of the Immigration officials and now run a neighborhood watch for illegals in about a 10 block radius.  We have had at least 25-30 deported.  Most of the time there were guns and drugs found there in the homes too, and it has really cut down on our crime problem here.  The funniest thing was that just because of our "task force" I guess you could call it, my daughters class size has dropped approx 20% and she is doing much better in school.  During parent teacher conferences I asked my daughters teacher why the class was shrinking and she stated that a lot of the non-english speaking children had just not come back to school.  (I sat and smiled at this but did not let the cat out of the bag)  \nWhat a deal huh?  By my taking a stand, my daughter has a much better chance of success because the teacher is not having to teach illegal non-english speaking kids how to say "cat" "dog" or "ball."  I suggest that everyone take a look aound your immediate neighborhood and call immigration also.  It will do wonders for your children, as well as your property value.
