Do you think that this current issue of illegal immigration will cause a civil War?

i don't think there would be a civil war here, anyways not with Americans against Americans.... maybe Mexicans against Americans .........but then again i could be wrong, there are a lot of bleeding hearts out there that want the illegal Mexicans here for one reason or another? and yes i would fight along side my American brothers to defeat the invading forces ( that are already here)....

It isn't being dealt with at all,and won't be until the citizens have had enough, and clean-house. When it happens, as it must, I just hope it's done without bloodshed, but I doubt it. Those people up there aren't likely to give-up without a fight. They have had too much power for too long, and continue usurping more from the people, to which the power in this country lawfully belong.

It's about time someone stand up for this huge, illegal immigration invasion that is going on.\nSure hope this is true. I have not heard this yet.\nI don't think anyone will be running scared yet. They will just migrate to another state.\nIt will take alot more of the states to get involved before anything, as minute can actually be noticed. Let's give it our best. Hat's off to you NC.

As A liberal I agree completely that the amount of money on what is an unjust war is obscene.  However, the amount of money local, state, and federal agencies are spending on the illegal entrant problem is hardly acceptable.  While it is true that there have always been problems with illegal entry, the last decade has seen this problem mushroom.  It may be the same old problem but it is far worse than ever before.  Couple a loosely guarded border with homeland security concerns and the economic burdens involved and you have a real problem.\n\nIs it a distraction from more pressing problems?  Perhaps.  The loss of civil rights, the loss of habeus corpus, our dropping the ball in Afghanistan, the morass in Iraq and the criminal lack of a reasonable working health care system in this country are far more dire problems in my judgement.  However, we can not downplay the fact that illegal entry is a serious problem that must be dealt with.  Our government should and must eb able to deal with many sets of problems at one time.\n\nThis problem will not be dealt with though, not until our government goes after the company's (big and little, corporation and farm) that depend on hiring illegal entrants for their profits.  We can build as many fences as there is metal available and people will come in while company after company recruits them, hires them and in some cases helps them gain entry.  To go after these the coporations that hire these people would mean those same corporations would stop contributing to political campaigns.  We'll see if that ever happens.

allot of people don't want your answers, because it means they will have to do something about it.  Those that belittle your opinion of what should be done, even though it involves no violence are fearful that you might be right, and it might work.  These criminals are trying to push America in to a civil war, so that we can further be distracted while they try to over run our country.  I too have put many suggestion out there that can bring a peaceful resolve, and put money back into the American economy from the nations that have defiled our border, and immigration laws.  Twice amnesty has been given to these people, and all they have done is abuse the previlage, and encourage more millions of criminals to enter our country illegally.  The people like myself who were against the second amnesty bill warned our president and our people that amnesty was the wrong way to go.  But, many Americans let their chains be yanked with pity ploys to gain support for their efforts.

It is happening more and more-and people are putting the pressure on Government and Sates.\n It is going to get tougher for Illegals as time goes by.\n\nWe are going to hear a lot of sour grapes.

At this point I believe so. We are in a war on terror officially. Any country that does not take our concerns seriously, need a wake up call. Mexico is one of them. We have every right to militarize our border when we are being invaded. And we are being invaded. The invaders carry drugs, diseases and are by their very nature counter culture. They cost the US billiions of dollars in untold ways and they threaten the culture in general. They are also, outside of the law of this country by entering in the way they do. All that said, I'm sure many are nice people.\nI would ask the question, "if someone put a gun to your head and blew your brains out, would it matter to you if they were a nice person?"\nWe ARE at war with these people and in a sense with Mexico and while it is not traditional, it is being fought for the same old things most wars are fought for. Power, control, money.

During the LA riots after the Rodney King incident, did you think the US was having a civil war?  What is happening right now in Iraq is that a small group of people is creating small problems.  It's hardly a civil war.

A wall would be fine with me....if things keep going and nothing gets done I predict there will be violence in the next couple of years,oh wait there has been violence,illegals raping and murdering our citizens,people seem to forget,like what happened to that little girl in FL at the hands of an illegal mexican.Its just a matter of time before people start to turn violent on illegals

a civil war... over this?!  That is a melodramatic statement.  Is the issue out of hand?  yes.  People tend to complicate things before they solve them.  \n\nI've written the following into several discussions but here's a suggested solution:\n\n\nThe reality is that US immigration policy is inherently racist.  The moment you use a quota system in a lottery to figure out who can come in, you are a racist. We need to resolve this once and for all.  Amnesty won't work because we don't enforce the laws.  America tried amnesty some twenty years ago, and here we are,\n\nFor the record, it's not just Mexicans, but illegal immigrants from anywhere including Western/Eastern/Central Europe, Asia, Africa, and South/Central America.\n\nWhat we need to do is resolve our racist policies the following is an example of what I would do:\n\n1.Simplify the process\na.Charge $3000, USD.\nb.Request proof of birth, proof of no criminal record, work history and 6 references\n\n2.Give a specific time-frame say 1 year.\n\n3.No quotas, if you pass, you pass.  If you don’t pass, you are not welcome, not even to visit.\na.If you don’t pass there must be an initial review to make sure nothing was missed\nb.There should be a 1 time appeal.  The results of which can not be contested.\n\n4.Once in the US, you are on a temp status for the next 6 years.  If you want permanent status, then you must prove the following:\na.You have worked/gone to school,\nb.Paid all relevant taxes (local, state, federal),\nc.Committed no crimes, \nd.Have a minimum capacity of functional English (speak/read/write).\n\n5.Complete all of item 4 and you get your initial application fee back (less interest).\n\n6.Any illegal in the US at the time of the law would be allowed to submit their papers locally without fear of incarceration (unless other criminal issues attach)\n\n7.Make it a crime to hire illegal immigrants.  With a simple formula:  Whoever is responsible for hiring  does 5 years for each illegal hired; this could only be served sequentially, not concurrently.\n\n8.For anyone who opts to remain illegal or come here illegally after the new immigration standard:  \na.No benefits; not medical, dental, no drivers’ licenses, no emergency room visits, nothing.\nb.The same would apply for the children of illegal immigrants born here.\n\n9.The key is that immigration must be reasonable and fair.\n\nAs for the illegal immigrants here now, well they should submit the same documentation and expect no preference during the approval process.  They should be allowed to stay here during the process.  If found to be unacceptable, jail and then deportation.

It will eventually subside after the government decides and announces what their plans are for immigration.  Yes, there are a lot of very important issues today, but this is one of them.  This issue needs to be settled in a fair and just way and the laws of the land, whatever they be, must be strictly enforced.  Giving the illegals amnesty can only encourage more illegals to come to the USA because they will see that as a tacit okay to them coming illegally and it will be encouraging to them by saying, "If you come illegally and stick it out - eventually you will get rewarded for it, just like those before you."

I think I understand your question.  To engage in a civil war, it would take the participation of an enemy to the "conservatives" (e.g., the "liberals").  Fundamentalist right-wing ed conservative radicals are paid no more attention by educated liberals than the grasshoppers jumping from weed to weed in the sunny summertime, so the civil war isn't likely to transpire.

I dont think that it will really come in the form of a racial civil war for the simple reason that there are too many people who dont understand the group aspect of the issue. For most people a lot of these issues are about what is in it for me, or what is going to happen to me as a result. It is under the same principles as to why there hasnt been a marxist lower class revolution. Most people dont have that interest in a group greater than themselves. If a group of people or the government can find a way to placate the immigrant workers (which our economy needs) and abate some of the fears from the american citizens a lot of the tension will subside. People need to realize a lot of this is about a culture of fear and that the average immigrant worker isnt trying to stick it to the american citizens by taking a job that most citizens wouldnt want to work anyway.

No, besides a civil was is between people of the same country not people from another country. Mexico couldn't win a war against a high school football team, let lone against the only super power in the world.

could be in less than 30 years if the trend does not change. They are human the same as us but need to follow the rules. I favor mining the borders and putting signs up to keep out or else tough sh--. We might as well take over Mexico and get things organized but of course that would mean we have to be organized.  The turmoil in this country has been caused by too many people stuffing their pockets instead of doing the jobs they were elected to do. That includes both parties.

You always have to read inbetween the lines when it comes to politics. The Government wants to blame illegal immigration on American citizens and not the Administration who are totally responsible for losing control over this issue. It is all a strategy for coming elections.
