Over one acre of farmland or natural habitat \nis lost to development \nfor each person added to the population.  \n\nIf current mass illegal immigration \ncontinues to add to the problem\nand consumption trends continue, \nby 2020 all domestic oil supplies will be depleted \nand the United States will be forced \nto import almost 100% of its oil.\n\nThen The Fuc*in Arabs \nWill REALLY Have Us Over A Barrel  \n\nEvery day we permanently remove \n3.2 billion gallons of water from our aquifers \nthan is replaced by natural processes. \nPopulation growth has encroached on our wild lands.\n\nFood, water, gas and electric energy supplies / reserves\nare at an all time low,\n \nWe have far exceeded \nthe carrying capacity of the United States.  \nWe have depleted the fossil fuels that power our cars,\nand provide us with heat in the winter, \nand they cannot be replaced.\n\nThe “United States” is overrun with illegal aliens, \nand we have already lost much of life as we knew it.\nHospitals are closing, and declaring bankruptcy \nbecause they cannot accommodate the demand\nfor “free” services to illegal aliens, \n\nThe educational system is in the toilet \ndue to bilingual education \n(which is not provided in any language \nother than “Mexican Spanish”) \nthe welfare system no longer exists \nfor Americans who need assistance, \nSocial Security has been depleted \nbecause the “fund” has been misused\n\nApproximately, 10 to 12,000 illegal aliens \ncross our borders everyday. \n\n3 Million + Per Year\n \nSince no one is enforcing our laws, \nthe majority of them end up somewhere in our country,\nwith American citizens’ tax dollars \nand Social Security benefits paying their way, \nand American Citizens are being subjected \nto the myriad of diseases \nthat heretofore were extinct.\n\nWE THE PEOPLE, The American Citizens \nare not going to be displaced \nand starved out of our own country.

Fence is not the proper solution to curb immigration.  The US must give aid for development of its neighboring countries so that people will improve their standard of living in their home countries and will not come to America for greener pastures.

No, what we do need are law abiding immigrants.  What part of illegal is so hard for people to comprehend.  This country's foundation are immigrants but they need to be entering this country legally and by the laws that the UNITED STATES has set for entrance into this country.  The US shouldn't have to change existing immigration laws to fit the parameters set by those who are here illegally.  All illegal immigrants should be forced to leave and reenter the country legally before they have a chance at becoming a citizen.

This just confirms how immigration has taken away our own traditions just to satisfy those other cultures that immigrate here, our country is going to hell in a hand basket, all I hear now a days is tolerance tolerance, since when dose immigrants have the right to change our laws and traditions to their satisfaction not ours, I believe immigrants that come to this country should be told obey our laws and traditions, and if you do not like them then go back where you come from that dam simple.

YES! American citizens, native born, or legal immigrants need to say ENOUGH, and do whatever is necessary to protect the sovereignty of the country, allot of men have died for something this generation is throwing away.

This country like any other has it's problems.  But America is like no other place in the world.  We have freedoms here that others can only dream about.  We have the will and strength to over come anything.  This country needs a strong moral center which it seems to be lacking on the west and east coasts.  There are the exceptions to that comment but most of the really liberal,(freedom w/o restrictions or consequences) crowd seem to live there.  I think we need to overhaul our social security system, our tax system and our education system.  If we take care of these basics then i believe we will be back at the top of the world in no time @ all.

I Agree With ohchiz(Above) To STOP This We Must Stop Employing Them, Make The Employers Responsible\nAnd They Will Go Home On Their Own\n\nThe economy is not going to collapse if the illegals go home, because they only make up 5% of the work force, and there are plenty of under employed americans to fill in after the illegals leave. Of course, we have to pay americans more and give them better work conditions.  These americans will spend their money here and invigorate the economy instead of sending some 20 billion a year to families overseas like the illegals do.  \nBusinesses like desperate laborers from poor countries because it's the next best thing to slave labor available.\nFinally, the illegals are good people, but it's not a question of who it is a question of how many.  Infinite growth in a finite space is illogical. On our way to collapse, we will lose our freedom.\n*************************\n***In Response To Ignatious(Below Me)\n\nNot NEARLY Impossible\nAnd We Can Do It Easily And Cost Effectively\n\nCongress Needs to pass a law that says, quite simply, that the CEO (ANY EMPLOYER) of any business that is caught employing ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS went to jail for a year - \nNO EXCEPTIONS - \n\nAnd We Must STOP Handing Them Social Services IMMEDIATELY\nA COLD TURKEY Approach - \nNO Health Care(Except Emergency)For ANYONE Not A Citizen\nNO Education Benefits For ANYONE Not A Citizen\nNO Welfare Benefits Of ANY KIND (Yes Including WIC Programs)\nFor ANYONE Not A Citizen\nSound CRUEL???\n\nWithin a month there would be ten million (more or less) people lined up at the Mexican border trying to get out of the United States And Back To Whatever Country They Came From. \n\nWhen They Cant WORK \nOr MOOCH Off The Systems \nThat Are Set Up For, And Supported By Taxpayers \nThey WILL Leave On Their Own\nOnce The Hammer Drops, And Is ENFORCED, \nThey Wont Come Back\n\nWe Wont NEED A "Wall"\n\nIf You Keep Feeding A Stray Cat, \nIt Will Hang Around Your Back Door\nWhen You Stop Feeding Him, He GOES AWAY

USA will never be at its peak unfortunately.  As for immigration, put the walls back up. There are too many coming to North America with their insane mindset that violence is the only answer.\nGranted Bush is not any kind of example but allowing people to come here and not having to change anything about how they live proves to be dangerous in the Western World

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

No.\n\nThe US can do it to itself.

We have so many problems with immigration because our system is terrible.  We let anyone in at will, papers or not.  Then we try to deport the people who should be allowed to stay.  Now the government wants to drop the price of immigration.  I'm not against someone trying to make a better life for themself, but shouldn't we be trying to help them in their own countries?  That is, make life better back home.  Where are all the jobs for these people?  Some of them, and this has been documented, end up on our welfare rolls.  So I get to support my family plus someone else's who never worked to build our country.

America will not HAVE a future,if the ILLEGAL INVASION is not STOPPED!!! We ALREADY have laws against ILLEGAL immigration.they are just not being enforced!!! We have laws against companys hiring illegals,but law enforcement tends to "look the other way". What NEEDS to be done,is to have those laws ENFORCED!!! Every employer of illegals,should be FINED,JAILED,and have their businesses and assets SEIZED!!!

In a ideal situation we should remove the laws that restrict posession by law abiding citizens.\n\nBut more importantly...\n\nENFORCE the laws we already have.

i do not believe it has anything to do with racism , to want our borders closed. the key word here is illegal. things have to be done in a proper manner.. we have to take care of the people in our own back yards first.. and although we should remain compassionate, we can not carry the burden,if other countries are mistreating their citizens so much that they seek asylum here. this is a classic example of charity needing to begin at home. once we have erased poverty and issues faced by Americans then we can look elsewhere. this is what homeland security should be all about. and please do  not get this confused with having to step up to the plate from time to time to send adequate aid the victims of disasters etc. if reasonable.

Cut off all benefits to illegal immigrants.  Do not allow children born to foregners in our country to become citizens.

Mmm it’s hard to accept this fact, but it's true. The worst of this situation is that is too late to stop this process, and there's nothing we can do. The key for the success in the US was the relation of respect that we had with God and humanity, but at this time the US only cares about wars. Sadly, we'll have to accept the idea that US will collapse sooner or later, and that's when we will realize that we are not alone in this world, because there's others countries and we have to learn how to live together. If Empires like Roman fell down, why the US Empire had to be this exception? This is the hard reality. I just can’t assure you how long will this process take, but it’s for sure that it’ll happen, someday, somehow.
