Good thinking. My nephew years ago had a "muscle car" with an expensive tachometer mounted on the dash. Someone smashed the door window and made off with the 'tach'. He bought another one, and soon THAT window was smashed, and THAT 'tach' stolen...same story.

He bought a THIRD window, and a THIRD tachometer, and then....VERY CLEVERLY...he left his car unlocked. You guessed it...THIS time the thief took the tachometer, 'did what he had to do', and the window was FINE.

So you can see, my nephew learned the hard way...thieves won't break your window unless you MAKE them break it. Cooperate with the thief...let him do his 'job'...and you'll get along just fine. And I guess what you're saying is similar...illegals are ONLY illegal because we CALL them illegal....right? Tired of problems with illegals? Easy...just start calling them 'legal'.

Do you respect a drug dealer who pays taxes on his illegal income? Or is he just making it harder to convict him? Al Capone went to prison for not paying taxes.

You really think that holding a piece of paper stating you are a US citizen makes you wealthy enough to hit the bottom of the bracket that says you must pay taxes? Too bad I didn't meet you about 2006. I could have offered you some creative options to get you into a new house.

Well thank you, everyone for the extreme bashings...haha. Anyway, yes, my idea I still think is what we are eventually going to have to do, in one form or another. We make living in the country illegal, if WE say they can stay then they can stay. If you all think we can kick out 2 million plus people out of the country your nuts. At least with my plan you would get some money out of them. And forget illegals, remeber the millions of other derilicks that are leaching our money, the corrupt congressmen, and terrible government spending wasted on things like "patroling the border". It funny these programs turn up next to nothing, especially when you consider the millions bieng spent on them. I don't see why you have a problem with it.

Well, except for the fact that Eisenhower has proven you can get the majority of Illegal Aliens to self deport.

No.
That just means they were able to get a hold of better fake documents.

This is a bunch of BS clearly.
Because the law is not respected it doesn't mean that you respect the lawbreakers.

Um, no. It's not about how much money they are giving us. An illegal immigrant could be paying millions of dollars and I would still have a problem with the social, national issues that are being the result of our illegal immigration problem.
