Just like any other immigrant, they'd need to go through legal channels.  Otherwise, they'd just be another illegal immigrant.

If you report him and you employer gets fined he may be forced to hire only Americans and that means higher costs and higher costs means lower profits and lower profits means cost cuttings and cost cuttings means YOU COULD GET FIRED. \n\nIf American companies are forced to hire only Americans most will go out of business.\n\nEven Wal-Mart hires Illegal Workers. If they cannot survive with only Americans your current job cannot do it either.\n\nIf the Illegal Alien is working he is making money to spend on many American Business and this means bigger profits for those businesses and bigger profits means MORE JOBS FOR AMERICANS.\n\nHe is not harming you right now.\n\nHowever, if he gets deported. He will cross the border again and perhaps he won´t be able to get a job and he will become a criminal. (He needs to send money to his family) and you could be his next victim. In fact, YOU COULD BE KILLED BY THE SAME ILLEGAL ALIEN YOU ARE NOW TRYING TO DEPORT.\n\nI suggest you to see the film "A Day without a Mexican"

H-LL NO, They broke the law coming here illegally....If they came here legal I would offer help...\nThe illegals work, don't pay taxes, or support the country, their money goes back to Mexico....some FAMILIES I am already supporting on welfare, (so they can send the money they make back to Mexico)... I don't want them in my house too....If they are here legal, I would offer to help them get on their feet......Some people say we need them, that is an excuse, we have to many homeless, jobless people here that are AMERICAN, most would do any kind of work to improve their lives & get food in their bellies....I would not help any ILLEGAL people, I have & will help the hungry & donate to homeless shelters...people say this country was founded by immigrants, LEGAL ONE'S.......Peace & God Bless

Oh my god don't get me started on this subject.  I would love to start a group of people who rounded up illegal immigrants, tied them up, threw them into the back of a truck and then dropped them off in the middle of Mexico.  I don't mind immigrants.  But the ones who sneak in here illegally don't deserve to stay.  I'd love to go to a protest!

would the criminals be those who enter the country illegally or those that employ them?

I do not an ax to grind with the illegals. If I was living in a corrupt sewer like Mexico with no future I might like to cross. I do not have anything against them I just value my own countryman more.\n\nI blame the politicians from both sides of the aisle. The Democrats believe they can snare them in their web of social services and provide themselves with perpetual voters. The Republicans want the free labor for their corporate sponsors. I also blame the greed of the employers who do not want to pay market rate for employees.\n\nI believe the answer is to treat the employers who knowingly hire illegals like drug dealers. Give them long prison sentence and confiscate all of the property that was supported by illegal labor. I believe the first time a beef plant went to the government and the plant manager went to prison I believe illegal immigration would halt overnight. The illegals would go home without the jobs. If after that we found we needed labor we could devise a program for that. They would be the workers we chose.\n\nI believe this would work, would be cheap and would remove the onus from the illegal workers and place it on the greedy where it belongs.

I was on a forum a little while ago and a guy on there had a pretty decent plan.  So I will pass it on.  First . Close the borders for good.  ( I don't think that is possible)  2.   All illegals in the penal system would be deported immediately. ( that is an excellent idea)  3.  All undocumented workers would have 6 months to study and get their citizenships, or get deported as well. ( ah, i am still not sure absorbing all of them would be good for the country, but I think it's good mid ground).  4, after the 6 months any company still employing Illegals get fined 100,000 a day. (Love that).

No lets deport the Illegals and make the supporters pick the vegetables and work the fields at minimum wages instead..........i would love that and would pay money to see that happen

Absolutely!...if I were in a 3rd world country with no opportunities for my family to live decently. \n\nBut I would go there expecting no special treatment, follow all of the rules, and assimilate as quickly as possible out of respect for the country that was allowing me to benefit from the centuries of dedication, leadership, planning and hard work that built the infrastructure that makes living in the new country a place I'd want to be. \n\nEverything that makes this place a desired destination for millions of immigrants wasn't here when we BOUGHT IT from Mexico, after which time our forefathers built on it and now that it's a great place to live, they want it back...if we were to allow this, would it not become an extension of the third world....then third world conditions would surely come. Perhaps we should give it back....but what would they do for water in California...um I mean Alta California, Atzlan...after we divert our water sources to flow south east instead of south west? No more water for flushing and showering...sounds third world to me.

Some yes, some no. \n\nI think those that have been here for 15 years, can pass a literacy test and swear alligiance to the US and who can substantiate that they have worked most of their time here or are a spouse of a worker I think they should be granted amisty . The 15 year period has to be unbroken. That is no deportations or arrests during that time period. I also feel they must renounce citizenship in the country of origion. Something we don't do for most imigrants but the fact they arrived here illegally I think is justification for more stringent requirements. \n\nFor those here less than that or ones we keep deporting and catching again. No I think we should grant them no amisty. I feel that the majority of them do not want to be Americans except for economic gain and do not believe in the US. Nor that they would have anything like the tolerance we have for them if the posisitions were reversed.  I think they would throw us out on our ear in a heart beat. Often they do even here. Try to get a job working at a place where mostly illegals work. If the boss is an illegal you'll find that the job is not availible for people of a different ethnic group. \n\nI think blanket amesty would be to revive racial/ethnic/religious prejudice in the nation. I think we will fragment along these lines and encourage even more enemies of the US to come here. While the majority of illegals come here just for work. They have been recruited en masse by legals once here by various racist organizations such as LULU. \n\nI also think that unemployment will reach new heights as most of these former illegals will suddenly want better paying jobs that do not exist and be replaced by illegals. With our welfare system already near collapse this would be just enough to end most social services for the poor for all Americans I feel. \n\nThen there is a secondary issue. If we allow these people to become Amercians in mass. It opens the door for relitives to come over here outside of quotas. So if we give 3 million illegals amesty then we have just brought over 10 million other relitives of these 3 million. I don't think the US could survive such an influx of people, especially when the bulk of them will be of a single non-English speaking ethnic  group. Remember legal US citizens have the right to bring over direct family members legally and unaffected by quotas.

Gee I wonder who will do all the dirty work when all the illegals working for scraps have to leave? I don't think that any Hazelton citizen will do the job. Who's going to cook great mexican food? Who's going to clean the mess in the restaurant? They may not help the econmony much, but they do the work that nobody else wants to do. I sure as hell wouldn't want to clean tables all day for less than minimum wage, while living in crappy housing.

If I was looking for work and needed a job, YES!!! I had to go back to McDonalds at one point in my life to surrive..So if it were offered to me yes..Are some people picky about jobs..yes, but there are some honest hard working Americans that need a job and would take something to keep from losing their house or car..and that was a positon I was in..and some local farmers wouldn't hire me..instead hired some immigrants..which landed me back at the Golden Arches

I'm all for it as long as it has the capacity to target them at work, too. Take out the law-breaking immigrants and their law-breaking employers with one big bang. Of course with no McDonalds, Burger King, or Taco Bell around, we'd get really hungry.\n\nEdit: I wasn't advocating "whacking" them either, just saying that if you take away the employers that hire them, you take away the problem. Thanks for clarifying and letting me clarify.

Yes, so long as they are willing to follow the steps required. Unlike most people, I don't blame them for coming in here any way they could. And no, they are not a burden to society and they do not drain the economy. Not all work under the table. They DO pay taxes and have Social Security taken out which they will not be able to collect. I do agree they work for low wages but that all would change if they were given work permits. And yes if people do not want to go through the process and learn English and adapt, then yes, they should not be in this country.\n"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness".
