I hope someday happens. I think the US government should see both sides of the problem with illegal immigration and then decide what to do.\n\nI really have faith that the problem will someday be solve, soon or later it will be solved. I am just scared, because if it takes long time for this to happen, I am scared that a civil war will end this up. If is not a civil war, then it will be something worst.\n\nI hope both sides understnad the problem, but I am sure that people, immigrants, will let the government know that they don't like what they are doing.

I would suggest that you find the nearest military base, and talk to a MP. They may know, or just talk to the regular cops. Good luck.\n\nMy father is a cop on a military base, and he does what he can to bust illegals, the INS does sh!t. So I give you another option that may work better.

The same kind of people who feel the solution the the health issue of drug abuse is best handled by prisons...the same people who think that the US will bring democracy to other countries even if we have to kill all the "evil doers" to accomplish our goal.\n\nThere are real problems associated with illegal immigration, but it won't be solved by criminalizing the issue...that is how totalitarian regimes solve problems...hopefully the USA is better than that.

It is not up to a political party to do something about the Illegal Alien problem.  It is up to us as a people to tell our Representatives what we want to have done about the problem.  We should learn from 9/11 that this is a serious problem that affects us all.  However many including the 9/11 terrorist's entered the country legally and then did not leave when it was time for them to.  Our INS Department does not have the staff to honestly see the job through in most cases.  We have people who have come to our country on a student visa and remain here for many years after it has been expired, and many of these people go to the INS daily trying to get some sort of status to remain here.\n\nYes we have each day people who sneak into the country, but one must realize that many Illegal Aliens came here legally and just never left.  Sometimes it is just a clerical error and others have to do with quota's.  There is a lot more problems with the illegal immigrants than most people know and understand.  The problem needs to be explored and new legislation developed to meet the needs of our country as well as be fair to those who came here legally.

Yes, but even that won't work.  Demand for their services is too great.  I suspect the government will be as effective stopping illegal immigration as they are stopping drug smuggling.

i think the best solution is to make them all legal.  after all, who is not an immigrant in this country except for the native american?  open the borders.

You're right - immigration isn't the problem. It's people willing to overlook the illegal aspects of it. Our country was built on immigrants but when people come here and step on the laws and expect to get rewarded it really gets me going.

This is an easy answer, Arrest those that do the hiring of illegals. Put them in jail, fine the company's enough so it is not worth it to hire illegals at substandard wage. That fixes everything. \n\nNO JOB = NO WORK = NO MONEY = NO REASON TO COME HERE AND  NO REASON TO STAY.  Really simple.

A more important question that I don't see being asked is: "Who has let this happen?"  We have had, and still do, laws criminalizing almost all aspects of being illegal, from simply being here, to being illegal to hire them.  For the problem to be this big, police, INS, politicians, you name it, have to be complicit.  How come there is not a witch hunt in our communities to see who is responsible?\n\nIf the police accidentally shoot someone, we hold them accountable.  If a politician is caught taking bribes, we hold them responsible.  If millions of illegals come here we look the other way and pass more laws?  Does this make any sense to you guys?\n\nDon't forget this is not the first time we have talked about amnesty.  It didn't work in the 80's, it won't work now.  More laws is not the solution, punishing those who broke the law (US citizens and illegals alike) is.

it isnt possible.  if there was an illegal way, that would be illegal, of course, but i don't think there is even an illegal way.

For those that say you can't do anything about it...well you are dreaming. We can and will do something about it. All we really have to do is start enforcing the law. Cut off all federal funding to states that have sanctuary cities. Start arresting the mayors of those cities and throwing them in jail for aiding and abetting criminals. Expose the ACLU for the anti-American slime that they are. Pass more ordinances like Hazelton. No more automatic citizenship for offspring of illegals. If your parents are illegal so are you. No more freebies. If the government puts their mind to it they can make life so miserable for those that employ and house them that they will be forced to stop. No job, no housing and they will go home..

I have come up with a great solution for the migrant workers that need to work in the United States to save their families from starvation and poverty.  Give em some concrete blocks and let em build a wall to keep themselves out.  When they are finished, whomever works all the way to the end is automatically a United States Citizen!

I think the HR4437 is a radical solution to a more complex problem,if they want to pass that bill, why they don't just go knocking door to door and deport all the people that look Hispanic, there has to be a better way to solve this immigration problem, they are here, they work, they pay for the food they eat, taxes for that food, pay for rent, pay for everything they use or consume, what are they gonna do with all that space they are occupying , what are they gonna do with all the apartments , the food , the production of food, the clothes , the products the immigrants buy, they are already here, they live somewhere, you see them everyday, sending them to prison is just to radical, first you need to secure the border, and then find a solution to the more than 12 millions illegals aliens,

If you want to stop hiring of illegals, simply place the CEOs of a few high-profile companies in jail for hiring illegal aliens. There have to be line workers or janitors without papers in almost any major corporation in America.\n\nAnd while you're at, put their neighbors in jail for hiring illegal nannies and gardeners. Let's see how Muffy and Trevor like the big house.
