should there be a law to enforce our current laws in regards to immigration?

It's simple. I Dont Know WHY Its So HARD For People To UNDERSTAND This\n(Rolling Eyes)\n\n \nA nation taxes its citizens in order to pay for those things that the CITIZENS have authorized the government of the nation to do.\n***(FUND HEALTH, EDUCATION, WELFARE--BUILD ROADS--KEEP THE ARMED FORCES FIGHTING--ETC)*** \nAll citizens pay the taxes and all citizens more or less fairly receive both benefit and detriment from the paying of these taxes. \nAll the citizens are in something of a symbiotic closed loop with each other that's why they're a nation. It's simply a village division of labor made large.\n\nTo have a healthy symbiosis requires that a large part of the the money that citizens earn in the nation village is re-spent in the nation village. \n***(I'll make shoes and you pay me for them and I'll use that money to buy things within the nation village and those I buy things from will, in turn, buy what you have to sell and this gives you the money to buy my shoes.)***\n \nThe system is based on having a population of citizens who are fair minded and honest and who won't take advantage of the system. They will contribute as they can, and they will receive as they need.\n\nSome nations are better at this symbiosis than others and they prosper. The United States has been better than many for most of its existence, and that's why we're a First World nation.\n\nInstead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a Foreign Invasion, because the consequences of this Invasion are as Terminal to our Freedoms and to our way of life as any act of Terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS. \nThe American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by MEXICO!\n \nYes, Martha, you had BETTER believe it.\n\n(For The Past 25 Years Or So) However, the U.S. is being invaded by people from another nation who aren't citizens and who either don't pay the taxes or whose allegiance is to their home countries. \n\nThese invaders are causing a bleeding in the system. As invaders, they're not playing by the same rules as the citizens. \n***(For example, instead of spending the money they make in the nation they've invaded, much of the money is sent back to their own nation.)*** \nIn effect, they are looting the treasury of the United States as surely as if they went to Fort Knox and loaded up all our gold bullion on trucks and drove to Tijuana with it.\n \nThe invaders are also taking more in the way of services than they pay into the system. This is so, because many of them work under the table and **Don't Pay Income Taxes,** which largely support the U.S.\nThis leads to a weakening of the system.\n\nIn the first stages, the citizens pick up the deficits caused by these invaders and the invaders get subsidized by citizens. \nIn the U.S. we read about "immigrants" who take low paying jobs that "American Citizens Don't Want" and because Americans don't want these jobs these immigrants are thus performing a valuable service for Americans.\n\nThis is nonsense.\n\nWhat's happening is that illegal aliens are taking low paying jobs that won't sustain them in the conditions that The US -*-being a First World nation-*- EXPECTS for its citizens.\n \nTo make up the gap between what they earn and what they need to survive in this \n(to them) foreign nation - These illegal aliens \n---Pack themselves into tiny apartments and illegal garage apartments; \n---They get free medical care from American hospitals, including the birth of their babies; \n---They get free food from various charities \nAnd they get all other manner of things to make ends meet.\n\n Of course, these things aren't really free at all. Someone is paying for them, either directly or indirectly.\n \nAnd, the someones are the citizens of the U.S. who are paying for these invaders via

No. It's the present!\n\nThat article was written poorly!  After reading it three times, I still haven't figured out if it's the American police or Mexican police!   Anyways, it doesn't matter regarding your question.  It sounds like one criminal group is fighting another for an illegal smuggling route.  What does the immigration law have to do with that? \n\nBreaking the law is just that!  We are finally trying to enforce some of our immigration laws. Our Southern border is our weakest link in our national security. It's about time we're doing something about it!

Oppose illegal immigration, for legal immigration.

Laws are made to make us be safe.  Laws are made so we are treated equally.  Of course they should be obeyed.  I'd hate to imagine a lawless world.

I'd say the House Bill is a good start...strengthening the punishment for illegally crossing our boarders may set examples out of these criminals.  This bill also increases the penalties against those who aid these criminals and anyone who hires them.  Once you hit employers in the pocketbooks, they will listen.  The only thing is that we need to do is enforce the law...to my knowledge, this bill doesn't really change any immigration law, just strengthens the penalty for the crime.

good question  in my opinion the point is the legal or illegal aspect of this problem.  why does the US make laws and not enforce these laws.  this is why there are so many ILLEGAL immigrants in the US now.  I firmly believe in equal chances for all, but within the boundries set by the law.

Well if there is such a law they should start charging fines to all the Banks that have illegals open an account also gigantic fines to Real Estate Agents who sell property to illegal aliens.

A crime is a crime.  If it is against the law then anyone that breaks the law is a criminal.  SEAL THE BORDER. Mandate English in the schools period....

Illegal immigrants are no different than when someone commits other crimes such as shop lifting, pick pocketing, tax evasion, it's illegal.  I don't mean to sound cold hearted but the law is the law; there has to be equal importance to all laws, that's what this country was founded on.  I know that every one of our families at some point and time were immigrants, but they went threw the process of becoming an American citizen because they liked what the country had to offer.  Most people aren't fighting to keep certain people out, they're just looking for the laws that are in place to be in forced.  Like I state before if I can be put in jail for speeding which is breaking the law than the same should be enforced for illegal anything.

America will not HAVE a future,if the ILLEGAL INVASION is not STOPPED!!! We ALREADY have laws against ILLEGAL immigration.they are just not being enforced!!! We have laws against companys hiring illegals,but law enforcement tends to "look the other way". What NEEDS to be done,is to have those laws ENFORCED!!! Every employer of illegals,should be FINED,JAILED,and have their businesses and assets SEIZED!!!

I think fines for the first offense are permissible. If it happens a second time, then it's jail time. I think shutting down businesses are good becaue if they hired illegals, then they've broken the law. I think if we get tougher on illegal immigration and enforce these rules then we would deter illegals from coming here.

actually it would be all of the above and then some. i think they would take the law out of our country and we could just do what we wanted when we wanted to whomever we wanted without suffering any consequences. that's what they are aiming for. can you see that?

I don't think so.  They forgot about\nNo. 8 Thy shalt not steal\n.....and\nNo. 10:\nThou shall not covet thy neighbor's house... \n\n\nIllegally entering the USA is the same as both stealing and "coveting thy neighbors house"\n\nIllegal immigrants can't follow God's or man's law. They prefer a 'lawless' land. Where would our country be if we allowed all people to continually break our laws without punishment? We would be like Mexico, a dust bowl of filth, squalor, crime and drugs.\n\nOur laws are passed for legitimate reasons and should be enforced, abided by and those who break our laws should be punished.

What is the problem with that? I don't see the point on this question. If this law is created, supposedly will be made to abide the illegal immigration problem, then, if there are illegal Asians, or from any other country, yes, they should.

The law isn't being enforced. The illegals need to be deported.
