Study by a self-described center-right think tank suggest that the cost of a Romney style deportation and self-deportation program would take 20 years and cost an estimated $400 - $600 billion in direct costs and another $1.6 trillion in GDP.
Boy would I love to be a fly on the wall for that budget hearing...
In Europe illegal get over a thousand dollars to go back and some have come back more than once and openly have stated that the Dutch government paid for them to be able to start their own business in their home country.
Add up more than one in one family and isn't that a great way to go as an illegal and get money to return
No strings attached like they should do like it they get caught upon return that there are consequences not that illegal even care as they don't care about breaking the law but like here the government seems to be more interested to go after their own citizens to obey the law.
That is pretty much the same arguments used against the waves of Italian and Irish migrants in the early 20th century.
Things seem to have turned out fine.
Doesn't really matter what was said in the past about legal immigrants. The point is that we have immigration laws today and we are actually seeing the negative impact of illegal immigration. We don't have nearly the jobs and resources that we had back then to accommodate uncontrolled legal or illegal immigration today. Illegal immigration brings in all kinds of unsavory characters because they don't undergo background or health checks.

There was NO bilingual help for the aliens of 100 years ago; either they made it or they went back home. Too; MOST of those people who came here did it legally under the laws of the time.
That’s not entirely true. 99% of people will never qualify to become US citizens. It is not just a question of waiting. That’s why they take the law in their own hands and just cross the border. They know the invitation isn’t forth coming.
It is entirely true. Is it easy? No it isn't, but then most things in life that are worthwhile are easy. Is it cheap? Nope, but it is attainable. Is it worth it? That all depends on how the US decides to handle the immigration issue in the future. I know for my neighbors, it was well worth the wait, time and money. They are doing well. Much better than had they come across illegally. It is attainable to virtually any common citizen of any nation of good character.

What is wrong with Mexico? You got the culture, the food, the people, the family, the language. You leave all behind for a job at McDonald’s?
No I don't their get their culture. Maybe some people do if they live in Los Angeles, CA or were born in Mexico. I don't even like spicy food.
I also don't work at McDonald's. You must be confusing me with the other poster who said he did. And wanted to get paid $15 an hour. I don't recall his screen name.
Speaking of deportation I am fine if our politicians (yes I call them that because I live in the U.S. and pretty soon I'm gonna legalise my status)I'm ok if our politicians cut some benefits to illegal aliens. I also think an anchor child should wait until he turns 18 or 21 to receive government benefits. That would eliminate the undesirable illegals that don't contributing to our society.

So, I take it, you are under the age of 18 1/2 and were brought here illegally as a minor? If so, once you turn 18 1/2, you will officially be considered to be out of status. If you are older than that, you should have changed your status by now. That is, if you are actually here illegally

at this time I don't need immigration advice over the internet. I already hired a lawyer. Thanks though.
