republicans are the ones that somewhat understand the problem and the democrats don't understand anything. i loved bush's policy on illegal immigration....if it had been passed it would have been the first thing that bush did right throughout his entire presidency!!! i really hope that illegals don't get amnesty...they broke the law and should not get rewarded for doing so!!!

Any logical and reasonable person can not disagree with your statements.\n\nIt's a shame but illegals only look out for their own benefits and don't care about the laws they blatantly disregard and politicians are so under the influence of big business that they should all be in jail for accepting bribes.

the Mexican government is very strict about immigration.  I live in southern California, and when I walk across the border I see Mexican troops.  they jail illegal immigrants.  But our US government rewards illegals with amnesty.  Thank you the US senate.

We have our own immigration laws--they are not enforced. I wish they were tougher but fairer.\nTo avoid criticism, our government does nothing, says nothing, and are being nothing. And that is not good. They are poor Leaders. \nFunny how other Governments are able to to say "This is how it is" and keep their standing-but ours can not. Pitiful!

Because neither the Democrats or Republicans want to offend the hispanics in this country,since 1986 when amnesty was given to illegals back then our goverment failed to secure the borders,each administration left the problem to the following administration,now we're stuck with millions of illegal immigrants that are not asking but demanding legal status,some are already planning to bring more illegals with them.and our Washington representives?pointing the finger at each other as usual,and contrary to what the person above said,it's the Republicans that are blocking illegals from becoming legal.

The congress is planning to try to put something together really quickly.  You need to contact your congressman by phone, mail or e-mail asap and let them know how you feel about it.  I personally am against any such action. The word "illegal" seems to have been forgotten in this whole immigration issue.  I welcome anyone who comes here legally, but not sneaking through borders, etc.\n\nWrite your congressman.

It is the government's responsibility to enforce the law and they didn't. If he broke an International Immigration law by EWI (entering without inspection), there is no legal document that shows that citizens must report them or call police or even the INS, unless he has committed a crime. Don't make this a witch hunt by civilians, let the government do its job. Don't make the problem worse than it is. Your civil participation by calling your Congress Representative with your views is your responsibility, not harassing people you "suspect".

It may be, but what part of ILLEGAL do you not understand!?

Yes, they do.  This is just one area where illegal immigrants are costing taxpayers millions.  The problem needs to be addressed seriously and soon.  A fence along a small portion of the border is a start, but only a baby step.  Politicians need to get a spine and provide a real solution.

II live in Texas and I feel the same way, that is why I keep writing to the governor of Pennysilvania, asking him to please run for President.  His name is Edward Rendell, and in his state landlords who house these illegals are fined, and the illegals deported.  If there is a second offense the property is taken, and given to the community for low cost housing. \nAny company caught hiring illegals recieves a big fine, and loses their business licenses.  \nAll of the schools are being forced to check the legal status of all of the children, to make sure none are enrolled under stolen identities.  And, he is just now celebrating with his state the largest tax cut ever recorded in the state.  He has taken a hard line when it comes to protecting his people, and this is the kind of president I want.  His people told him that they wanted the illegal Alien laws enforced, and he did it.  He is a real politician for the people, and that is what America needs.  No more candidates telling us they don't care what we want, they have their own agenda, and it does not include the American people.\nI went to every politicians web site that I could find to see what politicians are out there that we as Americans might want as Candidates.  After an exhuasting search, and reading the same crap over and over, I finally came across Mr. Rendell's web site.  I looked over his agenda, and believe me, I haven't seen that kind of interest from a politician in his people since, never actually.  I have heard of them, but I thought they were a myth, like illegals being immigrants.  I've wrote his office to ask him if he is running, and I awaiting his response.  I might not live in his state, but I want him as my next president.  No more Bush's or any of his crooked comrads.

I have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.  All that I want are the immigration laws enforced.  All other laws are enforced but for some reason, these criminal illegal (mostly Mexicans) think they should be exempt from obeying all laws.  I care about my country, even if these lying and useless politicians do not.

Why don't you call up someone from the other party or other candidate and tell them what is going on? If there is something illegal here, they will know how to handle it.

The border policy is bull. And honestly, it's in the news and all, but the people I talk to in Southern California.. we don't care! It's just the media hype making it out to be a bigger deal than it is (I hope). To get a little stereotypical, what would we possibly do without Mexicans?? Honestly, who would cook, clean, cut grass, wash the dishes, and do all the other jobs that nobody else wants?? And they are not stealing our jobs, because nobody wants them! And if a Mexican is smart enough to compete with us for jobs (not saying they aren't, many many are!) then that is great! Who are we to decide who gets what? Honestly, the crimes that some of them commit aren't enough to deport an entire group of people. And finally, for the kicker.. WE ALL ENTERED THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY! I hate that argument, but honestly, it is true.
