If they don’t go back to Mexico and decide instead to go into a life of crime I’m sure Joe Arpaio will be more than willing to take them in.
If he doesn’t have the room he will put up another tent.
Once they serve their time I’m sure Mexico will be a much better place than Joe’s hotel.
Says who? You? On what basis is this statement made?

they will work under the table, and employers will still hire them at reduced wages.
If the employers are faced with jail time or losing their business license they won't.

this will promote sickness and the spread of sickness.
If they are not in the country in the first place they will not be able to spread sickness and disease. Treat the US citizens they have infected and send them home to their own countries for treatment.

and the ones who are paying into it?
US citizens provide the mjaority of the funding for benefits programs.

why is this law subject to interpretation but the immigration law isnt? illegal is illegal? well then legal is legal. this whole idea of getting rid of a law shows the hypocrisy of the anti-illegal viewpoint.

thats fine with me. i dont even think bank accounts are that great anyway. bankers already run the country, and have turned our economy into a credit-based one. you rarely own anything important, you make payments.
Hahaha! Speak for your self.

which will surely stop them from driving....
The only driving they should be permitted to do is when they drive themselves to the border.

they can refuse anyone they want to already. aside from section 8 type stuff.
If a landlord refuses to rent to an illegal, my bet is that MALDEF, LaRaza, et al would be on him like a frog on a junebug.

you act like denying them social services is going to make them go away. it will just make things worse for us all. use some common sense and come up with some real world solutions. on paper, communism is perfect. how does it translate in real world scenarios? same idea.
Well, I have been listening to the OBL crowd for more years than I care to remember loudly proclaiming that the illegals are 'only here to work' or 'only here to do the jobs Americans won't do'. If these jobs are no longer available to them, then there is no longer any reason for them to be here now is there? IMO, a significant percentage have always been here because of the freebies they could collect. If that dries up, then there goes their reason for staying, too.
This is very sensible. They are not supposed to be here (any way you add it up), if you take away the things that served as an attractant in the first place they will leave.
The United States will have a severe shortage of labors if all illegal immigrants are deported or if State Laws quickly devoured them. I understand one day didn't have much effect on our country, but illegal immigrants temporarily or permanently leaving could really shatter the U.S. economy.
I disagree. Sure our GDP would drop somewhat, but not drastically. We as a nation can enjoy a great standard of living with a much lower GDP. After a slight adjustment period our standard of living would actually improve because illegal aliens are much more of a drain on our society than an asset. Because illegal aliens are willing to steal jobs and work at less than the prevailing wage they enable a few to make a lot of money at the expense of the middle class. Get rid of the illegals and in a short time our life here in the US gets much, much better.
They already work under the table, are uneducated and spread sickness.
there's that inaccurate language. "they" does not mean all of them. you should use a word like "some" to be more accurate, and subsequently more credible.
and as far as your post goes, do you want more or less illegals sick? uneducated? working under the table?
Says who? You? On what basis is this statement made?
based on the fact that most are still here and many are going to extreme measures to stay here.

if that was a real solution, it would've been enacted. in the context of real life, denying them healthcare will promote the spread of sickness. would you deny healthcare benefits to illegals if it increased the risk of sickness for the general population?

because citizens are the majority of the population. what is your point?
Quote:
people use the argument that "illegal is illegal" and that is why we should deport these people. but if illegal is illegal, then their anchor babies are legal, and "legal is legal". if we choose to follow the law, then we shouldn't be questioning ANY laws.

this is true for the majority of americans. mortgage payments, car payments, loan repayments, etc... we even have these things called credit cards.

thats great. but they will still drive where they want, licensed or not. i dont see how your response addressed the issue at all.

the way of life here attracts them. for someone who has nothing, you can give them a dollar, then take that away and give them a quarter, and its still something to them. once the economies are balanced, they will have less reason to stay. once they are afforded basic human rights in mexico, they will have less reason to stay. until we work, as a country, to make these things happen, we shouldnt expect this trend to subside. and in a few years, we will have anchor babies all grown up, and you will have very little to say.
When businesses have shut down in Smalltown, USA, virtually putting the entire town out of work, I haven't seen any reports of rioting or rampant crime.
Which is exactly what some state and local governments have done.
Unfortunately, pro-illegal organizations who fight such laws have a different opinion as to what is "reasonable" and "realistic."
can you name some state and local governments and the laws they have passed (or tried to pass)? im just curious about the circumstances.
