I thought the board would enjoy hearing about something other than Mexican Illegal Immigrants. How about Illegals from China who work 14 hours a day 6 days a week in Chinese Restaurants all over America. After paying up to $70,000 to be smuggled to America they use special employment agencies to get a job at a small town Chinese Restaurant in the middle of no where.

There are two issues at play here:

1) If you can afford 70k in fees to be smuggled in, we shouldn't feel sorry for your lot in life and rationalize or excuse your "line jumping."

2) There are MAJOR issues that need to be addressed with these "agencies." Countries that "send" many illegal immigrants need to start educating their people as to the dangers of entrusting their lives and money to such agencies. Then, the United States has to start getting tough with such agencies and crack down on VISA abuse (Chinese restaurants in particular are notorious for getting visas based on "no American to be found" by spurious means such as advertising that knowledge of the Chinese language is necessary, etc...

Another problem is China frequently refuses to take back their citizens that have illegally come here.

So what? They should be sent back to China and we should refuse to take them back. Let China handle their own idiots and law breakers.

Name one single foreign policy fight we've had with China over the last five or ten years that we've won. Washington has caved in on almost every single major issue. And it all started to happen just about the same time China started accumulating all that treasury debt of ours. Hmm, maybe that's a coincidence.

If I had my way I'd simply take the Chinese illegal aliens and chuck them over the fence that's currently being build on the Mexican border and let the Mexican government deal with them.

I agree with you and I don't care where they deport their butts to, just deport them out of our country is all I want.

Just load them on a slow boat to China and see what happens next. Will the Chinese chase their own citizens out to sea?

USA has become a major power either in financial or military strenght during or after World War 2. Aint it part of the reasons for these growth where immigrants came from all over the world that makes contributions?

And most of these illegal Chinese immigrant are not taking away jobs where most Americans detest or wanna to work - yeah - try 14 hours job and 6 days a week doing greasy dishes or wok round the hot kitchen.

And most of them would not ask for state funds either in medical or state benefits. In fact, I doubt anyone of them would even lodge a police report upon robbery or seek legal redress on working condition or abuses.

It is really unfortunate that " human traffickers " take advantage of these illegal workers and charged them USD70,000 where they actually held thier families back home as ransoms to ensure they paid up thier debts which would takes 7 years of "working for free" assuming thier paycheck is USD1000 per month and minus expenses.

Notwithstanding their plights, it should be the govt policy to arrest the problems of human trafficking but yet treat these illegal immigrants humanely unlike those who suggested them on a slow boat home to China. After all, they are the ones who is supplying you the take out chow mein or General Tso chicken with affordable pricing at the friendly neighbourhood near you instead of plotting to bomb the buildings.

Happy Independence Day where the liberty of freedom is a shining example by the Americans, from the Americans through the Americans. God Bless America irrespective whether you are White or Black, Yellow Chinese or Red Indians.
