Does the American congressmen is the right decision for the illegal immigration?

They dont ALL need to be legalized.  I say give all the immigrants who are workign in our country, trying to earn a decent livign  their citizenship so they can pay taxes.

Yes they certainly should, and I don't think it should be a question of being 'allowed' either. They should make the decision themselves for what they feel is best for their country without overbearing 'superpowers' breathing down their necks.

Nope. Illegal is Illegal. Deport them no matter where they come from.

I agree completely.  I'm often torn because of certain issues i feel strongly about and i have no choice.  recently in this borders/immigration debate i felt like we were sold down the river by both parties, and i don't think either of the two parties owns the exclusive rights on corruption.  we need more choice...and more control over our govt.\n\nP.S.  If nothing else at least one or more other viable parties would keep the other two on their toes and more responsive to their constituents.  Too many of these congressmen are growing old and comfortable getting reelected over and over and getting more and more out of touch with Americans everyday.

No, that wasn't on the ballot.  The problem is none of the politicians want to close the borders or deport the ILLEGAL, illegal aliens!\n\nThe illegal aliens broke into the country and lie, steal cheat anyone and everyone!  They don't want to assimilate or learn English.  \n\nThey just want to take over and Americans are tired of it!\n\nILLEGAL ALIENS ARE BLEEDING US JUST LIKE THE IRAQ WAR IS BLEEDING US!

I, like most Americans I would bet, haven't been paying enough attention. The few news sound bites and newspaper headlines is hardly enough to be making such decisions.  However, I still have enough faith in our elected officials to are sitting through hours of testimony and reviewing documents and such, to make the right decision.  So if they vote 'em in, the my answer to your question is 'yes'.

That subject i couldn't fit all my thoughts in this text block.... But in terms of them coming over it's fine .... as long as they serve a role in our society and abide by the rules st by congress. look at the movie day after tomorrow for instance. what do you think would really happen if that were to take place? The last this is, i can deal with immigration, hell this is a country built of immigration, everyone here is from another country at some point in their gene pool, but if you are going to come across, at least do it legally.\n\nOK... the guy who's 2 below me... wow your immature i wont even begin to argue with you except these 2 things\n\n1. "THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON LEGAL IMMIGRATION, NOT LEGAL IMMIGRATION". what does that mean exactly?\n\n2. you obviously didn't read what i said whatsoever, if you did you would see that i don't condone illegal immigration you moron, i said and still say that if it's done in a LEGAL way that its OK.... i bet you had a few damn forefathers alot smarter than you who came through Ellis island. You know the next time you want to run your mouth at least take the time to read what people say and respond in a non-offensive way... you might get better responses.

It might sound good to an illegal criminal, but not to LEGAL USA Citizens:\nSenate Bill-- the rights illegals will get:\nCurrent Bill:\n\n1. grants amnesty to the MILLIONS of illegals already here!\n2.grants amnesty to illegals FAMILYS,who live OUTSIDE the country\n3.admits HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of unskilled "guest workers",through a new "guest worker" program,with a direct path to permanent resident and citizenship!\n4.admits 1.5 MILLION\nagricultural "guest workers" with a direct path to citizenship!\n5.increases the number of employment based, immigrants admitted to the U.S. each year,by 400%!!\n6.gives the Dept.of Homeland Insecurity,the discretion to waive fines for employers who knowingly hire illegals!!\n7.allows states to give ILLEGALS,in-state tuition benefits that they can DENY to citizens who live in other states!\n8.requires consultation with the MEXICAN government,before we begin construction of a fence along OUR border!\n9.creates new student visa programs,with direct path to citizenship!\n10.allows ILLEGALS to claim Social Security benefits,for work performed ILLEGALLY!!!!\n11. Adds a 10 year 'statute of limitations' to give amnesty to illegals coming in in the future if they provide documentation saying they were here for 10 years at any future point. (This to people who have been using false documents all along.)\n12. Each of the guest workers in each of the 1.5 million person PER YEAR and 200,000 unskilled person PER YEAR program would, upon obtaining residency or citizenship be able to bring their families as well. This includes indigent parents at a time when we already don't know how we will fund old age requirements for the baby boomers.\n\nThe Wall Street Journal just touted a poll saying Americans are beginning to prefer Bush and the Senate's view to immigration reform. However, I've read the questions they asked. Had I not actually read the Senate Bill and had I been asked those questions, I'd have ended up being counted as supporting Bush and the Senate in this. People only approve of the Senate Bill if they don't know what it says.\n\nThey are not looking out for legal American Citizens. They don't listen to us. They are listening to freeloading illegal immigrants. If enough of the voting legal population will get their heads out of their butts and let their senators and representatives know how they feel about this atrocity to the American people they just might start to listen to us. \nThe laws on illegal immigration are already on the books, they just need to ENFORCE THEM.\n***********Americans Need to Get Their Heads**********\n*********Out Of Their Butts And Pay Attention************\n\nCredit goes to: DAR and yars232c Y!A members

Nobody likes to hear the truth, and the truth is just by being an Illegal forces them to do other illegal stuff, like drive with out a license not pay taxes etc etc... This country needs to stick together. If you now an Illegal turn them in. Keep pushing the INS until something is done, do not be afraid. the Minutemen should be an inspiration to us.

Yes. Most of the construction workers in the states where the wall would be built are illegals.

No not yet unfortunately, i hope they pass that because these illegals are causing this country money and some might say no they are not, but the way things are going it definitely will.  Either come in legally or go away!

I agree with both of your issues!  However, i do not agree with the statement that they "are here whether we like it or not."  I don't like it!  Most Americans don't like it!  If we protest enough, our elected Officials will eventually do something about it.\n\nWrite your Congressmen and Senators.  Write to the President.  Inundate them with mail that demands what is right for America.  Withhold your votes from anyone who does not make "Restoring America for Americans" the cornerstone of their political platform.  Withhold your votes from anyone who doesn't make ILLEGAL immigration a major plank of their platform.  Let your elected Officials know this.\n\nBe proactive ~ America is so close to apathy that it is mind-boggling.  It's time for another Revolution, people ~ one with no weapons other than words and quiet determination.\n\nStop thinking "Republican" or "Democrat" and start thinking "AMERICAN!"  Vote a straight ticket and you grow a row of idiots.  VOTE THE CANDIDATES WHO ARE FOR AMERICANS ~ born or LEGALLY naturalized.\n\nA standing ovation to Bullseye for his input above.  I've copied it and will now email it to everyone on my list.\n\nADDITIONAL DETAILS:\n\nBecause the pro-illegal alien lobby has a bottomless pit of money and can hire PR people to spin (and fabricate) anything any way, there are an undue number of myths and lies that the public (and many politicians) has bought into. The FACTS are:\n \n1. It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.\n \n2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. It has the fifth richest economy in the world, and by sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?\n \n3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Lou Dobbs recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.\n \n4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.\n \n5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4,000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents). The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the average Mexican illegal alien costs U.S. taxpayers a whopping $55,000 each. Some bargain, eh?\n \n6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to #3, #4

i don't think so..hey, they aren't just 'illegals' they are people...i'd like to think my view are conservative or at least i used to, but now i just think my views are do the right thing, like would i want that done to me? no and yes are the only answers...so no, i don't think a wall should be put up...they are trying to make a living...and in  knowing some illegals...people...they do do the right things...once they get past the hurdle of crossing the border..they are good people, hard working and loyal to the end..they are the kind of people we pride ourselves to be americans as...they 'eventually' do it right, aside from crossing without a border pass...i live in sd. and i have known, even people that are american as apple pie from hs...who's parents and gpts crossed that way and the families are now successful very successful!  this whole thing about illegals is a bush ploy to direct us away from the money laundering of the government officals and the lame a war we are still fighting that is all a figment of our iiimmaginationss...

80% of Americans do not want people coming here illegally.  If government is supposed to be run by the people, why hasn't the will of the people prevailed.  Think deeply about this, because it really ought to be raising red flags as to something is VERY,VERY wrong.\nNo I am a centrist.  I agree with some of the right and some of the left, although I would categorize myself as having "right" leanings.   And yes the "rumors" are true.
