If necessary, we should put the military on the border to do what's necessary to keep these economic terrorists out of this country.
Don't you think with us in Afghanistan and Iraq that our Armed forces are already stretched pretty thin and have more pressing priorities than stopping low skilled workers from trying to make a sustainable living?

Illegal aliens are much more of a threat than the terrorists in the middle-east are.

Actually I'm not even referring to the job thieves angle. I was thinking more along the lines of the tens and tens of thousands of Americans that have been killed, raped, robbed, beaten, and assaulted by illegals.

More Americans have lost their lives to illegals than the terrorists took on 9-11.

Shouldn't you be concerned with all crime, regardless of who commits the acts?

Where is the anger for the people who continue the cycle of child abuse so it touches on generation after generation?

Where is the anger for the people who have more kids than they can afford so they kids are forced to do illegal things to support themselves?

Where is the anger for the people who have no conscience and kill other people?

Thens of thousands of Americans have been killed, raped, robbed, beaten, and assaulted by American citizens that have deep seated emotional issues. This country won't turn into Mayberry just because you have decided to demonize some people. Most immigrants, legal and illegal do not kill, rape, rob, beat, or assault. Stopping the influx of them will not stop terrible things from happening to innocent people.

I just don't understand given the myriad of problems that exist, why this topic makes most of the posters in here foam at the mouth? It's like because the pollsters have decided this is the political issue to get the followers riled up on (since last big election it was the gays), this all of a sudden is the most pressing issue and all that people can think about.

It's ok to not always need a political enemy.

They are illegal! Stopping them may not stop all the terrible things from happening to all innocent people, but it will stop terrible things from happening to approximately 9,000 innocent people per year!!!

Good God woman. That's it. I've had it. Some people just can't wrap their brains around facts. I am done with you.
