Do you know how expensive it is to let in massive amounts of poor people? Do you know one of the reasons why we have immigration laws? It is to keep the percentages of poor people we let in, in check and not cost the American taxpayer in entitlements more than the immigrants pay in taxes.

How do you kow it's expensive? It hasn't even been tried. And how did they all get here in the first place if it's so very expensive to go from point A to point B?

There are solutions to the costs, if it costs $600 to transport an illegal back over the border, make the illegal pay for it, confiscate some of their money, or better yet make the employer of that illegal pay fot it. Employers of illegals should be fined at least $10,000 per every illegal, and that would help pay the costs or sending the illegals home.

It might cost $600 if you want to fly them home, but a bus trip home is cheaper, probably $50 each by bus is all it would cost.

And with all the fences that exist around schools, farms, homes, parks, government buildings, the interstates, zoos, it seems the only fence that you think is expensive is the one at the border. The border fence is no more expensive to build than all those other fences.

Default WOW WE just figured out a way to increase jobs!

We figured it out, WHY can't the president and all the other high paid (over paid) officials???? Send them ALL home=job openings. The illegals don't pay taxes anyway most of them work under the table! If the president and all the other cabinet officials didn't get free health ins the rest of their lives that would cut expenses too. If the president and his family didn't travel all around the world on our dollar that would cut expenses as well. The average family goes on short vacation once a year IF they are lucky... I guess when cutback are made it was meant for us not them ! You know the saying " DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DOOOOOO" !

On the issue of deporting illegals, republicans play it both ways. Whenever it fits them them - the "we have no money" argument comes out, however when they want something - "we have no choice" is their preferred argument. For wars, they always have money, no matter how expensive it may get.
However, most humans are like that, and democrats have their own list of silly arguments.

They get a free K-12 education and free medical care when they go to our ER's. They also get all kinds of welfare handouts thru their anchors.

And the cost of them being here, illegally is what! are you saying no cost involved. Bull, In more ways then not, they cost us more then we know.

Are we thinking of this Country's future, when so many of us will be long gone, and our chidlren and grandchildren, let here holding the bag, against this illegal situation. Can you imagine how much worse it is going to get. Something needs to be done, we need a hard liner when it comes to this illegal problem, and we know by now, one party, sees the benefit to keeping illegals here.

There is no just cause to them being here illegally in this Country, collect benefits, take advantage of our system, commit crimes, and illegals seem to be commiting more crimes these days, and yes they also murder innocent. Who needs the headache. Obviously their own birth Country, does not seem to give a rat's a-- about them.

Both parties are guilty of not securing our borders and not taking measures to remove incentives for illegals to come here or remain here in the past. However, at least the Republicans have tried to pass laws to discourage illegal immigration through state laws and they always get challenged by the Obama administration (Democrats).

As for the money that is spent on wars that is a separate issue. I don't always agree with it but it has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
