I think there is a reason it is called Illegal Immigration. I think all of the protesting is rediculous, if these people want to be in this country, do it the right and legal way. Basically, all they want to do, is cut inline in front of all of the people who have been wanting and waiting to be a legal ciztizen of this country. All the employers who are angry about harsher punishment for aiding an illegal immigrant SHOULD get in trouble, if all they are looking for is cheap labor. This is a country that welcomes immigrants with open arms, if they will just go through the process. I heard that they speculate there are up to 12million illegal immigrants in this country, that is total b*llshit. If they want to live here, they can pay taxes just like the rest of the country. Protesting because you think its wrong...are you insane? You are protesting in a country that you came to illegally. If you want to live and work here, it must not be so damn bad, huh? Give me a break..

racist want white supremacy, the people you and I encounter with want illegals out because they think they are avoiding the law, which might be true, but still they don't know of any hardships these people go through when risking their lives to cross the border. I am not making excuses for them but realistically how are they going to point out all illegals? Hard workers who are illegals come here to do what their little prissy hands won't, and they say illegals are taking their jobs. i highly doubt they and their ancesstors sprung from US soil, literally.

YES. The illegals here need to go home and apply from THERE. The people who have been on the list already should be allowed here first. The end of the line should mean wait in your own country like the others are doing LEGALLY.

As a former legal immigrant, after taking into consideration of the history of our U.S. Immgration and policies as well as my personal experience, I will have to say that illegal immigration should be a felony in our country, at least in the foreseeable future.  I had to wrestle with this subject for quite a few years before I could arrive to my conclusion.  The illegal immgrantion upsets the legitimacy of legal immigrants.  Essentially, this illegal act ridicules the law of the land and encourages others to follow.  No country could sustain itself if the control be allowed to be violated continuously.

When looking at this issue here in this forum I was beginning to think that all America had gone crazy by only really considering 2 categories.  Citizen or Illegal.  There is a third category and that is Alien Residents who are in the country legally.  There is a large difference and I am glad that you to have noticed it as well.  All of us started out as immigrants at one point of history or another.  Even the Native Americans are said to have come from somewhere else, however as they settled the land centuries before any one else they are the only ones who we can say did not immigrate to this country, or Hemisphere for that matter.  As we are in the middle of trying to hammer out legislation for immigrants while we are doing this we should look at the laws that have been on the books since the 1920s and think about updating them.  I would favor them making it against the Federal Law to be an Illegal, however I would not support housing them in Federal Prison for any time and costing us even more than what we are spending now, deportation should be enough for first offense.  I do not feel that those who have assisted Illegals in a humanitariun sense should not be guilty of any crime, however those that profit from bringing them to the country or taking advantage of them when they are here should be punished.  There need to be many things done to update our system and make it have some teeth.  We also must as a nation realize it is not just a Hispanic problem we have illegals from every country in the world and we need to be aware of it and aknowledge it being that way.

I agree. If you want to come into the US you do it legally and you have to obay our laws. OOPs you already broke one. You came here illegally. Laws are for a reason. If everyone got way with breaking laws the US would be like the Country you are trying to flee.

They should all become legal American citizens. If you're talking about an ILLEGAL immigrant, they need to get the hell out of our country.

Hell no! Mexico is trying to take over the USA as it is. Look how many are SNEAKING across the borders now, if we were to give them duel citizen ship, that would be a night mare, then who is next? Canada? I say lets keep the USA as she is, the proud, the free and the home of the brave. Not the nation that has open door policy, (Hey everyone we don't care how many come over and take over our nation, just walk right thru the door and its yours for the taking)  come on, whats next? This is our America, our country, not theirs, they already have their own, why give ours up so easily?

An "illegal alien" has committed a crime by entering a country illegally. I am law-abiding and here legally.\n\nOther than that, nothing.

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.

its not illegal if they do it the legal way. there is a process that needs to be done to immigrate to the US. These millions of people who come here illegally every year are cutting in line in front of another thousand or so who are trying to come here the legal way. All counties have policies on immigration, not just the US. Do you think that it is easy for an American top immigrate to Mexico? NO they are worse then here

What a STUPID da*n question!! How in the H---\ncould all ILLEGAL people all be accounted for!! They're f--ing ILLEGAL, MANY of them have no documentation, no papers, work for cash, that's why we have no exact numbers on HOW MANY are here ILLEGALLY!!

I had to read this about 6 times....but I got it.  \n\nThe key word is "illegal".\n\nI tried to make a valid argument to disagree......but I couldn't...you covered all your bases.  \n\nYou make your point....in a very ugly, condescending and ridiculous way...but you make it.  I wish I could do that.
