Would you be so willing to want to let illegal immigrants in?

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.

I'd definitely support legalization for someone who volunteered for combat service. If they are willing to defend this country, the least we can do is let them live here.\n\nAmnesty for illegals isn't fair, and you know it.  It is a matter of where do we want to put our resources, what do we want to live with having done, how effective would deportation be at the end of the day and at what social cost, and should we at least partly blame our government for letting these people get to the point where this is the only home they have?\n\nI don't know how to get something workable out of the Senate Bill, though. I think we may just need to start over.

Sure! If they vote and want to become their own country, let them!

out if there illegal. Otherwise let them stay, but, illegal immigrants are costing us money, even if they do jobs nobody else will do. That's like saying illgeal immigrants are at the very very bottom of the totem pole.

gosh now that would be funny, i think there would be a quick turnabout of having a fence! in fact they would drive the mexicans out double quick, greed has no barriers!

Yes, but it would have to be on the scale of the great wall of China.  Which would then serve as a tourist attraction as well as a block to illegal immigration.  The far left dismisses this so quickly and the cost would be high; but compare the cost to al queda crossing the southern border and I think its quite reasonable.

all the more reason to send the illegals back down there !! Agreed??

You're right, they shouldnt be able to do so, but then why arent we closing the borders?  Wouldnt you think that if our government actually wanted to do something about it he would.  I dont think he cares much about the same things we do.  People, regardless of who they are or where they come from will always try to do what's right for themselves and their families, and in understanding that, understand this as well, as long as nothing is being done to prevent such unlawful entries and such abuse of our welfare system, this "invasion" as you all so often like to call it, will not end.  Sure, there is much that can be done, realistic solutions even, but as long as nothing is done at all and people are willing to hire them, illegal immigrants will continue to come.

Sounds like a good plan.  There are multitudes of ways to encourage illegals to deport themselves.

I totally agree!\n\nWhy are we letting people in to this country to just sponge off the welfare, cause trouble and get freebies!\n\nI think that people from other countries should be welcomed if they bring something to the country... i.e JOBS! \n\nHow many unemployed people are in this country? How many single mums are ignored for the fact that illegal immigrants get their first pics! it is disgraceful!

who in their right mind would want to be there?

In denial!  They seem to think that it is quiet alright for them to commit a crime of being illegal.  The just do not understand exactly that being an illegal is committing a crime.  There is just no legal or common sense reasons why they want to illegally immigrate.  If their supporters are so into supporting them, why don't the supporters get together, financially, and help them better their lives in the country where they are from and not in this country as illegals.

Yes, mine came legally as well.  Those who compare want to open the borders to all.  "Just let everyone in"  is their philosophy.  But they don't think it through. When does it stop?  Or doesn't it?  Let in a billion people?  That is why every country in the world including Mexico have border and immigration rules.  Those crying for illegal immigrants to just be granted legal status will surely be the same ones crying for higher taxes  for otherrs to pay for their education, medical care, housing, etc.  They'll want the so-called "rich" to support them, the rich being anyone who makes more than they do.\n\nYou know if you ask those who are applying for citizenship now, who took the time and trouble to learn English, who have family in other countries waiting to come to the U.S. in the legal way, who have worked hard since coming to the U.S. and have done their share of what is called the menial jobs, they will tell you that they aren't too happy with others who might get citizenship for breaking the law.   If you talk to others whose relatives have had to return to their native land because their visa or extension was denied, you will hear them saying they are not too pleased either that others are getting in because they broke the  law.  Those who returned home wiill try again but shall we call them "stupid" for doing it the legal way?\n\nNote:  At one time there was a land bridge from Alaska, a footbridge, so from where did the native americans come?  I suggest an answerer up above research that.

what are you willing to do?

Hell no!  I don't expect the same from others who enter the U.S. illegally.  If I was to work and live in another country, I would definitely make sure I went there legally and had at least some knowledge of their language and culture.  I expect the same from foreigners who enter the U.S.

Perhaps these people who are willing to contribute to society should come up here to Canada.\nI find irony in the fact that they are there illegally but are considered necessary.
