We shouldn't "bow down" to anyone. We are american citizens, most of us 2nd or 3rd generation foreign-born. Our ancestors had to deal with racism and religion problems and the language difference, and so should immigrants now. If they want us to do anything for them, they should learn English and about our culture and take the Citizenship Test, then we'll go from there.

Fair or unfair, it is logistically impossible.  What we need to do if we want to stop illegal immigration is start throwing CEO's and Rich people who hire them to work for their companies, take care of their kids or mow their lawns.  Only then will you reduce the incentive for people to come here for a better life.  Cut off the jobs, you will cut off most of the desire to come here.

I wouldn't call your suggestion the solve all but I would call it a start.  Taking jobs away from American workers simply because they can accept a lower wage is no path to citizenship in my book either.  Fighting for a legitamate cause through our military would do much more towards gaining my resolve, yet joining our armed forces under Bush seems more like a death wish to anyone including illegals rather than a statement of loyalty.  What we need is an enforcement of existing laws and prosecutions derived therein in order to curb the existing illegal subterfuge that persists to this day.  Stay tuned..

Ignor it and go about your business. It is important for citizens to do that in order to show the ILLEGAL's the door.

It may sound cruel but all benefits must be stopped to the illegals. Period. That goes for the children they have too. If we can get the guts to deny them it is possible they will leave. I think I read where Texas is sending a bill to Mexico for services to the illegals.  That is a great idea.  Hold Mexican assets and take the cost of services to their citizens. Mexico would then do something about the boarder.

That's tough to answer since my ancestors were, in part, \n\n1) traced back within one generation of the Mayflower \n  (the original illegal immigrants and the first "boat people")\n2) Irish immigrants\n3) Native Americans\n\nI wonder what most Americans would do if their family was living in poverty and the best way to care for their children - provide better clothes, good food every day, adequate medical attention, better education, etc was to slip across a border and do menial work.  If I felt that was my only viable choice, I think I'd break the law.\n\nHow many people break the law on a daily basis just driving to work by speeding or driving recklessly or failing to follow basic traffic signals and signs?  What's the justification?  They're late .. everyone else does it .. it's not that important .. and so on.  What's the risk?  Injuring or killing someone else .. someone else's father, mother .... and for what?\n\nWhat's the justification for illegal immigrants coming here?  They want a better life, they want to provide for their families and children.  They want adequate food, education, health care.  A better standard of living, and so on.  What's the risk?  Hmm ... fewer people cleaning your houses, fewer janitors, fewer people gathering food in fields ... is that really a risk?\n\nI think we Americans need to show a little human compassion and understanding on this issue.   Just because we're a few generations further removed from our own illegal immigrant roots doesn't give us the right to be so quick and harsh in our judgment today.\n\nI don't endorse all of the latitude being suggested for illegal immigrants, but I do think they should be given the chance to work, become citizens, become tax payers, and earn the benefits that citizens deserve.  Wholesale deportation is not feasible, nor is it compassionate.\n\n"Give me your tired, your poor, \nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free, \nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore. \nSend these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, \nI lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

How about an American boycott of Mex-American businesses that close, at your inconvenience, for the purpose of supporting the illegals.  Or how about firing employees who fail to show up for work for the same reason.  Or, how about a political bloodbath against congressmen who don't come down hard on the illegals.  It's time we took our country back, I personally do not need people who don't even belong here, dictating to me.  I also believe that people of Mexican decent, who claim to be Americans, should choose once and for all, where their allegiance is.  Are you an American, or are you a Mexican?  At a time like this, you cannot be both!

How about a 50-state consensus on immigration enforcment, instead? Write your local legislators today, and ask that cohesive \nand effective national border/immigration policy be established, and enforce to that standard...

We're not trying to end immigration...just illegal immigration. And once all of the current illegal immigrants are made legal...let's not kid our selves...that's where we're heading...they're going to want to stop other people from coming here illegally, because they'll see that their newly found validity affords them rights and a more decent pay, but that they are going to be competing with those coming behind them that will be willing to work for less. It's a never ending cycle, folks...where WILL we draw the line?
