I guess that is what you want. 40% of illegal immigrants are visa overstayers too, so what are you going to do about that without new laws?
No the laws did not lead to this, the lack of enforcement did. And if we need new laws to punish employers more harshly so be it, but Amnesty need not be included in those laws. they tried to fool us last sumer and the flood of calls and the backlash turned that one. I have had to verify identity before with the construction company I worked for, wasnt that hard actually, but employers are lazy.

I love animals and I would prefer to have a yard full of rattlesnakes than illegals.

I'm sure illegal immigrants have their negative and positive impacts on the economy but i won't be like you guys and just claim they JUST have a negative impact.
I still see no unbiased data that says our economy benefits from illegal immigration. Heck I see no BIASED data to illustrate that. Still looking or is it that it doesn't exist? I figured with all the attention this issue gets from both sides that some biased data to refute the data Nea provide would be pretty easy to google. Maybe it doesn't exist.

Sounds like a great idea to me. But, you are wrong about one thing and that is that many are self-deporting. I saw this when I went to visit family in NM and AZ. Go to any border area and watch the trucks and vehicles that are going south filled to the brim with all they own and could pack. You show a distinct lack of knowledge about the illegal problem and all that happens to be going on these days.

There are already laws like that. Don't need more laws, need to start acting on the ones we have. Time for another Operation ***back like Ike did and round them up and get rid of them. In fact, a bounty should be put on the head of each and every illegal alive and then Americans could also make some money turning them in and Americans would be happy.

hmmm, did you check their documents to see if they were illegal? What if they were seasonal workers, visitors? ICE should hire you because you have the remarkable ability of knowing who is illegal just by how they look.

That is where your amazing ability of knowing who is illegal just by looking at them will come into handy. To put a bounty on someone i thought you needed a name, a description ? Oh, i get it because the only description will be if they look latino throw them out.

Turning someone is would mean for ICE and/or the police to check their legal status. But hey, it really is not that hard picking them out. I am sick of people saying that one can't tell when someone is illegal because many of us can because we do understand and speak Spanish. You should hear what they say about the American people.

Only too true!! My mother-in-law used to rent apartments and she knew most of the people coming in were illegals but she could care less anyway because they were usually good renters. But, anyway, she said that most of them told her they were only going to stay for a few years or so until they could save enough to go back home and live well. The end goal for most is to come and remove money from our system, not to come here to make a better life HERE.
