That was such a long sentence, but yeah I agree!

yes. they should be sent back. they came here illegally, why should they stay when illegal immigrants broke american laws to get here, i don't care if they had it rough in their country, if they want a better life they should take care and improve their own country. they don't respect america they just come here for the jobs and then expect americans to treat them equally when they came here illegally in the first place. but sending all illegals back wouldn't happen, it would cost way too much.

I'm with you in that I also do not believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to sue anyone in the USA.  The way I look at it, they committed the first crime by being in the country illegally and if they had not done so, whatever "wrong" was done to them could not have been done, so they are responsible for having "caused" any wrong to be done to them by being here illegally, in the first place.  As soon as they file a lawsuit and their illegal status is revealed, I think they should be immediately deported.  Let them continue with their lawsuit from their home country, if they still want to.

There needs to be a clear line between people who've overstayed their visas, but have been paying taxes for years and have no criminal record. They should get citizenship. The rest should be treated according to their cases. Every story is different!

No.  Send them back to where ever they are from and make them go about it the right way.\n\nI do have a possible solution to the problem though. All of those people who are pro Illegal aliens can give up their own citizenship to an illegal and then take their place in the illegals country.  Any takers?

They should apply for citizenship the legal way.  If you want to stay here then do it RIGHT or go home.\nThey take away our jobs (working for nothing).  I agree buy everything today!!!!!!!

i really think that all of the illegals should be sent back to wherever they came from especially the ones who dont speak english i hate the fact that they come and get jobs that pay them under the table so that the bosses do not get caught hiring illegals and they get paid really well and they still get on welfare and make it so that people who actually need the assistance cannot get it they all need to pay and then go home

Sounds good. Take names and empty their pockets and bank accounts to help pay for the deportation expenses.

Should we give murderers who haven't been caught yet amnesty?  Or thieves?  Or drug smugglers?  Illegal aliens broke the law.  They should not be given amnesty.  Deporting them is probably not reasonable though.  So the answer is, we should cut them off from government benefits, because these benefits should be for people here legitimately, and give them the opportunity to become legitimate or leave.  Cutting them off would force this decision.  Further, we should highten the penalties for hiring illegal aliens to domestic businesses.  This way, even if we can't find them and resolve the issue on a personal basis, the pressure on the people paying them would effect a result.  At that point, if they don't choose to become legitimate, then deportation would be appropriate.  Most of them are here because they want to be part of this country, I would imagine, so they would probably comply.  Bottom-line: amnesty will only provide incentive for more illegal aliens to come.  The only amnesty that should be extended is for the interim time until they become legitimate.  And this should only apply to the illegals already here.

Nope. Illegal is Illegal. Deport them no matter where they come from.

I think that anyone already here should be eligible to APPLY for permanent residency provided all of the conditions are met:\n\nThey don't have a criminal record\nThey are self supporting\nPay all the necessary fees for processing their application (no different than now)\nWill be ineligible for citizenship, just permanent residency.  If they want to be a citizen some day then they have to leave the country and apply to reenter.  That's a penalty for being in the country illegally.  A fine is also appropriate as long as it is not unreasonable.

glad you ask me that i think they should secure the border  first and deport all who are here illegal that have broke the laws of the land hell am not getting a free ride .have no problem if they come here legal and don't break our laws .but dam something have to be done about 10 millions peoples coming in .  the schools are over crowded/they have no health care. it go higher/ they don't speak any English.they get here and break all the locals law also /hospital are always full that a problem it just crazy .this is not a race thing god know we are all Americans.it about the sovereignty of this country.

You're right.  We are really bad.  All illegal immigrants should leave immediately before they are corrupted too.

They are the problem, they should have to pay huge fines and jail time. The people coming here are just looking for a better life. The people that do the hiring should have to do background checks and not hire ILLEGALS.

Yes, resoundingly YES!  Not that I think it should be like a "witch hunt," but when they pull people over for any kind of traffic infractions, I think they should ALWAYS ask for proof of citizenship or legal residency, legal drivers' license, and proper insurance.  If, in the course of their duties, they find illegal immigrants, they should hold them and call INS for deportation.  This should be STANDARD procedure for ALL police in the USA.

I don't think any illegals would just go there and enlist if they may get busted and taken out, but at this time there is something like that for people that enlisted and served the armed forces in previous wars by lying to the government about their immigration status... it was possible at that time cause the tracking system wasn't as good as it is know and soldiers where needed, but I assure you that many will go and fight for the country if you just give them resident status, citizenship won't even be necessary...

Of course.  A legal has every right and we should support them.\nAn illegal is a criminal by definition.  Go through the process of becoming legitimate or don't come to the U.S.\nGiven the sheer numbers of illegals, it would be impossible to deport them all, but they should pay a fine for breaking the law of the land and they should go through the process of becoming legal.  It would take a line of buses from San Diego to Alaska to haul them all out at onece.  Its just not realistic to ship them all out.  Also, given how involved they are in our economy, our economic system would suffer and be threatened with collapse if that many people were suddenly jerked out of it.
