I'm so sick of hearing people bash illegals for being here, then turn around and say that they are against amnesty. What's YOUR solution? waisting taxpayers money to find and deport these people just to have half of them return through our leaky borders? Is that your final answer??? C'mon people you're kidding yourselves if you think the solution is that simple. Not to mention, I whole heartedly suspect that most of you are racist, wether you want to admit it or not. If our country was being flooded by illegal Canadians, I doubt we'd see a fraction of the backlash that we do now!! (granted they were white) The sad thing is most of these people come here to work and escape their country's corrupt governments, call me crazy, but wasn't that why our country was founded in the first place?? Give them amnesty so they can pay into the system like the rest of us. Nearly all these people are here to work just like us!! People like to associate illegals with gangs and crime, when the truth is that's a homegrown problem that started way before now (ever heard of the mafia or see "West Side Story"). Maybe if we treated our neighbors with a little more hospitality, they would work harder to learn the language and assimilate, but who wants to be a team player on a team that treats you like the competition. Sorry, but amnesty is the only REAL solution.Waisting my tax money to deport all these hard working people is ridiculous. We could use that money to better secure our borders and stop the contraband thats been coming through for years. Wake up America, we have a lot worse things to worry about than people coming here to support their families. With half the world wanting to blow us off the map, turning our backs on our nieghbors in need is the most un-American thing we can do. I say make em citizens and keep the American dream alive!!
My wife is Asian, she came here legally and is a naturalized citizen. I dont want to have to spend the money to deport illegals. I want them to be unable to find work, get hungry and then return home
No amnesty, period--------unless Mexico willing to turn over some of her land in exchange for us keeping the illegal immigrants (over 80% of illegals are from Mx).
Somehow; I do not see that coming to pass............for now.
Its more of a class issue than race. The rich in this country like to pit poor people against each other. If they can create racial tensions at the same time its even more of a distraction for us so we dont focus on them their lobbys and the politicans they have in their pockets
Really, I love all people except the greedy pigs that have created an economic environment that has us at each others throat

Agreed, a new poll came out and the majority of americans don't mind giving legal status to taxpaying illegal immigrants and those who came here as kids. It will happen in 2009.

If we gave them amnesty then they would be our citizens/assets and Mexico would lose out in the long run because most of these people want to work, unfortunately with each generation less and less of our people want to.
We might want to consider billing the Mexican government for the huge expenses illegal aliens cost the US, from Welfare and medical expenses to costs to imprison the huge number of criminals that Mexico seems to develop and export here to stink up America with their presence.
