what we can do to help our government stop illegal immigration problems?

Great idea.. sue the government for diverting tax dollars to non-citizens through medicaid, food stamps, welfare, public schools.  It may be the only way to address the problem.  Until we take away all these reasons to invade this country, the problem will get worse.  Their effect on wages (just look at the unchanged minimum) has been devastating.

It is time to deal legally with employer's who use them for cheap labor,shut the door until we can take care of the legal citizen first kick out the ones here illegally lots of work to be done once again your government has failed to perform its function by enforcing the laws on the books!

The government needs to do something about all illegal immigration. I understand that people want to come her for a better life, but when coming here illegally it just makes life here worse. We need to control the immigration so that we can properly accommodate the new people in the United States. The illegals get away with way to much and I think the talks of an 11 year trial period would be great. If you mess up, you go back home. If immigrants want to come over here bad enough than they will follow all the rules. Thus making a better country for all who live here!

Yes, but even that won't work.  Demand for their services is too great.  I suspect the government will be as effective stopping illegal immigration as they are stopping drug smuggling.

Send them an anonymous letter. Warn them that they must stop. Make it sound official, or pose as some deapartment head doing an audit and ask pertinent questions. Pick up a gov't envelope from someone. One third of our population works for gov't, so you should know someone who would help.

It is not up to a political party to do something about the Illegal Alien problem.  It is up to us as a people to tell our Representatives what we want to have done about the problem.  We should learn from 9/11 that this is a serious problem that affects us all.  However many including the 9/11 terrorist's entered the country legally and then did not leave when it was time for them to.  Our INS Department does not have the staff to honestly see the job through in most cases.  We have people who have come to our country on a student visa and remain here for many years after it has been expired, and many of these people go to the INS daily trying to get some sort of status to remain here.\n\nYes we have each day people who sneak into the country, but one must realize that many Illegal Aliens came here legally and just never left.  Sometimes it is just a clerical error and others have to do with quota's.  There is a lot more problems with the illegal immigrants than most people know and understand.  The problem needs to be explored and new legislation developed to meet the needs of our country as well as be fair to those who came here legally.

Discover problem: illegal immigration cross over US boarders.\n\nSolution: Hire 6000 patrol officers to guard a 1500-mile border. Build a 500-mile chain link fence.\n\nProblem not solved. Charities now helping illegal immigrants cross over.\n\nNew solution: Increase to 14000 patrol officers. Offer 4-star holding-cells with welcome party to immigrants that make it over. Raise budget for war in Iraq. Hold party for other laws piggy-backing the immigration laws.\n\nProblem still not solved.\n\nNew solution: Legalize red-neck hunting of illegal immigrants.\n\nProblem solved.

We will do something about illegal immigration when we get guys like Tom Tancredo in office and get rid of Kennedy, Feinstein, Boxer and the like.\nRead Feinstein's speech before congress on how we need a comprehensive solution. blah, blah, blah. Read how she personally KNOWS illegal aliens and how one is going to college on a scholarship (which should rightfully belong to a U.S citizen)\n\nThat's nice Dianne but you are a US Senator sworn to uphold the Constitution yet you do nothing? You should be arrested.\n\nThese are the people we need to get out of the Senate. Think about it. The house of Representatives passed the enforcement only bill. This was the bill that the American People want. The Senate, because they don't give a care what the people want, passed their amnesty bill. Here is a link which will show you how your senators rate on the issue of immigration reform (100% being best)\nhttp://grassfire.org/42/Scorecard.asp?rid=10693606\n\nWe the people have been complacent too long. We must do everything in our power to stop this invasion. We cannot afford to sit idly by and expect someone else to do our duty.

And how does allowing illegal immigrants into our County help them improve their situation in their country?\n\nRather than entering our Country illegally, they should gather together in their own country and demand political reform.\n\nThe Mexican peoples are intelligent, hard working and ingenious.  There must be grass roots leaders among them who can organize a political revolution.\n\nIt is not the fault of the U.S. that the government is corrupt; frankly, we have our own corrupt government issues to deal with.\n\nPeople do not have to be wealthy to make something happen; they just have to be united and determined.\n\nLook up the statistics ... the REAL statistics ... of how many in the U.S. live below the poverty level.  You might find yourself amazed.\n\nI'm sorry for the troubles the people of Mexico are having, but we have our own problems that need to be fixed and we are going to HAVE to concentrate on HOME for a while.

Until we can solve illegal immigration, homelessness, rising health care costs, unemployment, etc., we need to close the gates.  We're so concerned with helping every other nation on the planet that our own nation is falling into ruin.

How to resolve the illegal immigration problem. But explore the option of criminalizing employers of illegal immigrants and not the immigrants. Those are the ones the that need to be fined and jailed, not the immigrants or their countries blamed. Employers are greedy and are not willing to pay social, medical or taxes. As long as there are jobs in the US for illegal immigrants, they will continue coming.

Well, here's some ideas to fix it...\n\n\nThe Latin American immigration crisis must include these items...\n\n1) A wall to prevent further immigration\n2) A guest worker program for those who are here\n3) New national id cards holding electronically encrypted information that must be reconciled against a national database.\n4) Fines or prison time for anyone who employs illegal aliens without proper validation of their identification against new parameters.\n5) Reform of judicial system to handle immigration cases more efficiently. An immigration court would be nice...\n6) And structured control of new applicants for the guest worker program so that we get to choose who enters. My votes says that we only favor countries who have signed free trade agreements with the U.S. That way we can favor the Latin American countries who are under NAFTA and CAFTA and we can restrict applicants from countries where the bulk of the population would rather just kill us and take everything we have. The Hispanics are seen as GREAT workers and would be quite welcome if they were legal. \n\nBut those who come from cultures where women are oppressed, where people cannot individually choose their religion, opposition to the basic free market principles that made our country wealthy and safe, and believe that violence against our citizens is a cherished avenue to achieving their own political ends are NOT welcome. And those people will try to come just as they went to Europe. They didn't assimilate there and they won't assimilate here. But, the Latin Americans are much safer and are generally not trying to kill us

Really the only thing we can do is pressure our elected officials to enforce the laws already on the books. The immigration bill that they are looking at now is just a farce and is loaded with things to enhance the political stature of the various sponsors. Of course, we all know that the government isn't about to listen to us, the little people, so, what can we do. If I thought I could get paid to go help build the fence, or if i were younger, join the border patrol. A moat? Thats funny, Florida gators? THats even funnier. You folks on here crack me up. Call your congressman, email your congressman thats the only thing you can do to make yourself feel better. there is nothing else you can do.

1--Enforce the border, even if it means with troops.  This is an invasion.\n\n2--Sanction those who hire them.  I mean jail.  Even for little old ladies who hire them to mow the lawn.  If there is no work, they will not come.\n\n3--End birthright citizenship.  These women who come over to shell out a kid so it will be a US citizen are a problem.\n\n4--NO government benefits for illegals.  I mean no school, no health care no food stamps, no nothing.  That will also slow it down.  \n\n5--National Identity card for all, with biometrics.  I used to be against this, but desperate times call for desperate measures.\n\n6--Major jail time for the coyotes.  That is if we don't shoot them as invaders and leave their bones to bleach.

Legal immigration has never been the issue,but with the huge number of illegal aliens it may be harder for legal immigrants.The illegals are causing a back lash against even legal immigration.I cant see letting more immigrants into this country when we already have millions of illegals to deal with.The fact that you have a profession will help you I'm sure.but we certainly don't need any more unskilled,under educated,poor people in this nation.We are drowning in a sea of them already.Our\nimmigration policy's need to change to be more like Canada's where the highly skilled,educated,and needed are let in first.We here in America take any one and then \ngive their family members preference.So poor people bring in more poor people.Public services are stretched to the limit now.If this isn't stopped this nation will become just another poor 3rd world country.That no one will want to live in.We are not going forward we are going backwards.
