How about just deleting the Mexican border?

Sorry to blow your theory--but areas with large influxes of immigrants have less crime.  Take a look at New York City's crime statistics.  It is a city of over 9 million--38% are foreign born & it is one of the safest cities in the US.  Harvard just published statistics backing up my statements.  Do you have data that can back up yours?

No need to conquer them.  Just ask them if they'd like us to annex them.  Put it up for vote in a Mexican election (We should allow Mexicans here to vote in it too).  America is great.  They know it, we know it, why not expand?

We could cut off our borders but that steady flow of ultra cheap labor in jobs that Americans don't want to do would end and have major economical problems for the whole country.  That is the argument for not closeing our borders to mexico.  Its also important to remember that this country is populated by people who either immigrated here or came only a few generations ago

Here's the thing...the US bought a huge chunk of the Southwest from Mexico in the first place.  If they want it back, I suggest they break out the check-book.

Deport deport deport.  Fine the snot out of companies that hire them, deport the ones you catch, fence (both physical and virtual) the border, make it illegal to produce products in spanish (no I don't care if they can't read a can of Pringles, they shouldn't be eating them here anyways), stop teaching in spanish (not stop teaching spanish, stop teaching them that if they come here, we will hire teachers to teach them for free IN THEIR LANGUAGE!!!) foreclose homes owned by illegals, expand the LEGAL pathways for them to get here, offer citizenship after one standard tour of duty in the military (I think it's 4 years, but I could be wrong).  I can guarantee that the military method would make great citizens out of them.  Nothing better to make a better American than to put your life on the line to defend her.\n\nAnd then in Mexico, support groups that would topple the corrupt government and set up a government that would be beneficial to its people.  They don't need our help if they can get it themselves.

Bad idea no border should go unmanned

I have been thinking of this.I do not like the idea about a 60' wall with armed gaurds,it reminds me of Germany(remember what happened to that wall).And a chain link fence isn't going to do any good.Here in Texas we have the river(where thousands have died).Maybe a fence with a road that runs along aside it with border patrol agents every 50' or so.They would still find a way.Believe me.But at least there would always be someone out ther looking.And if they damaged the fence they would know about it and could do something.\nAnother thing is coyotes.They should penalize the coyotes heavily.They expolit these ppl in ways you could not imagine.And there are countless that have died at thier hands.\nI also think that America should forgive Mexico's debt.And big companies that own alot in Mexico should  sell it to Mexican companies so that the money stays in Mexico for Mexicans.Make their life better over there.Mexico also needs to reform their labor laws.The good jobs in Mexico are hand picked by the government.So basically you can't succeed unless your hand picked by the government.\nThere is so much.Someone told me once that charity begins at home.That sound like a good idea.They are close to home.

Kick out illegals! Make English mandatory! Build a giant fence at the borders.\nMr. Bush, take the 'problem' seriously (no more tiptoeing around)!

This is not Spain or Mexico.  We have a National Anthem.  I think the damn politicians better get their act together and do something about all the illegals.  We need a president like Eisenhower to launch another operation w e t b a c k.  Round them all up and ship them back into deep Mexico.  I can't believe Yahoo won't even let me type w e t b a c k.  When I type it it turns in into wetback.  See how far down the sewer our country had already gone.

Something has to be done about illegals, so yes a wall seems OK.  They are destroying our education and healthcare systems.  I have been reading that a couple of dangerous gangs have come into the country from Mexico.

Kick them all out then sort out the good from the bad. Confiscate their belongings to pay for deportation and border protection. Even the children of illegals make then apply for citizenship. Go after employers who hire them.

I think we should just buy Mexico and make it a part of the United states, then we wouldn't have to worry about this border crossing/illegal worker crap!
