We are talking about 11 or 12 million people.  No matter how good our government can be there is no way that we will ever round them up and deport them.  First of all we can not afford to,the cost of sending 12 million people back to where they come from would eat up a lot of taxes.  That does not count having the manpower or facilities to hold them while processing is going on.  The bad thing about a blanket amnesty is that in many cases only the breadwinner of a family is now here, if allowed to stay they most certainly will want to bring their families over here as well.  Yet the only way our government can save face with the problem is to start over with new rules and more manpower to fight the problem and I am afraid that means giving an amnesty to those that are currently here.  They may try to call it a work for citizenship or residence program, however it will be an amnesty program anyway no matter how you look at it.

I am agreeing with you totally. Our borders need to be secured and we should make it where many can be legal citizens faster but not amnesty. amnesty is just going to get more illegals into this country. We have over 500,000 coming into the US a year now illegal from Mexico, if this fu*king president has his way and grants amnesty to these people instead of stopping the flow it is going to increase because they will see that this president doesn't give a fu*k about the American people. With amnesty we will have over a million illegal flooding this country....

NO AMNESTY! NEVER! That will just encourage more illegal immigrants to try the same thing.  Put 'em in jail, make 'em work at public service projects such as building parks, cleaning the streets, etc., take half the money they make to pay their fine and use that money to send their butts back to wherever they came from.  Second time they're caught, double their jail time, third time, double the second times jail time.  Quit being a pushover for these people.

http://www.alipac.us/article-1242-thread-1-0.html\n\nThe US Senate could go to a vote any day or hour now on S. 2611 which \ncontains amnesty for both illegal aliens currently in the US and for \nemployers that have broken the law hiring them.\n\n\n\nSenator Sessions says S. 2611 to bring 217.1 million new immigrants in 20 years    http://www.alipac.us/article1223.html\n\n\n\n\n\nGOOD NEWS\n\n1.  This bill is so full of amendments now that neither side really \nlikes it increasing the chances it will fail.  If it does pass, the \npoliticians that voted for it will face even more opposition from the voters \nfrom both sides of the issue!\n\n2.  If they pass S. 2611 the fight is not over yet so do not get \ndiscouraged.  It still has to pass our House lawmakers.  Also, there are \nbenefits from a Senate vote that passes this amnesty bill.  On one hand, it \nwill allow us to determine exactly who we need to target for removal in \nthe elections.  On the other hand, passage of S. 2611 will INCREASE THE \nELECTORAL BACKLASH on this issue.\n\n3.  Even if the Guest Worker amnesty program is passed into law, it \ncontains a fatal flaw.  It does not grant instant amnesty.  This will \nallow time for the majority of American citizens to assert their influence \nover the lawmaking process through the elections.  If signed into law \nby George Bush, we will immediately announce our intent to seize \npolitical control of the program, remove any citizenship plans, and use it as \nan effective targeted deportation tool for illegal aliens that do not \nreturn to their home nations on their own volition.

NO!!\nAmnesty will only encourage future illegal immigration. THink.. If those people see that we give amnesty to illegals, then they too will think they can come here and get amnesty in the future as well. Your stealing a car example is dead on. Amnesty is no better then releasing all prisoners because they have been in there for a long time.

It should be on a case by case basis.  As long as they have not commited any violent crimes since they have been here, I think they should be granted amnesty.

You are 100% correct.  As soon as the illegals become legal, they will demand more wages.  That puts us right back where we started.

Too many!! It is irrelevant to the issue now. We have too many illegal aliens in our country, now, today, 2006 and we need to put a stop to it and deport those here. There has to be a stopping point to the law being abused. That time has come.

The Enchanted Fairy is right!\nNow let's hope INS goes to a couple of these big protests and rounds up a bunch of these illegal scumbags!\n\nWe could make a big dent in the illegal population by enforcing the labor laws and giving HUGE fines to both the illegal worker and the company that hired them. After awhile it would become cheaper for those companies to pay better wages to Americans, than to hire the illegals!

They do need it; for once its given they can invite more family members from Mexico and other south American countries to come live here with them.  Without the amnesty they'd be risking deportation for coming here.\n\nPeople should really look at recent history before jumping off this bridge.  In the 1980's they did an amnesty for 3 million illegal immigrants; and now 20 years later they are wanting it for 12 million (4 to 1 ratio).  Guess in 20 years they'll be after a 48 million person amnesty (that is called the southern annexation)

Seriously, I think there will be a lot of fighting. A lot of United States citizens are really tired of illegals draining our economy, and I think the resentment will surface in a very violent way.  And just for the record, I hope they don't pass a bill allowing that, because it certainly isn't fair to the people who earned their citizenship the honest way.  By the way, my family has been here since about 1670.

This will not happen, because the US will not let it. The US has become aware of this problem and will take steps to avoid this.  Since the illegals have made themselves noticed by protesting for their rights, now the American people have taken notice and will pressure our government to take action.

sure, until they get "amnesty" then legal aliens will.

It started due to the 11 million illegal insurgents in the country and more coming in each day. I too hope it does not pass AS WRITTEN due it does not include our President's\nidea for a national non-forge-able ID card for illegals along with some kind of work program (for those interested in working and not sucking on the welfare teat or doing drugs and gang crime) but I do not believe in amnesty for those that have violated our laws and our country's sovereignty.

You're right,most all the illegals could be deported,over time!! Amnesty should NEVER be given to people who FLAUNT our laws by breaking them!!!  amnesty NEVER works,all it does is ENCOURAGE even MORE lawbreakers to come here!This is not even fair to those who have waited for years to come here legally!! I think,that IF there is a "guest worker" program actually NEEDED,that it SHOULD NOT automatically lead to citizenship!! The United States of America does NOT need any more citizens! And, we can not AFFORD any more poverty level,uneducated,welfare people!

The Native American argument is so tired... Yawn!\n\nYes, I hear you... and it's just the beginning.  If illegals are given amnesty, there will be an inflow of another 50-100 thousand more of their family members.  As a resident of California, I can't even imagine what that will do to this state.
