Im going though the steps here, to get an idea of what could and could not be done.

It's called www.wehireillegals.com report a company to wehireillegals and they will be reported to ICE, IRS, and others....

Seal the boarders. That's it. no more crossing.

That means no more weekend jaunts to Montreal or day trips to Tijuana. Where would Seniors go for their prescriptions?

Default best idea so far

Crazy? It worked for France.
If this was implemented, don't think we would have any more problems. Brilliant

Default solutions!

Yes! We definately need to come up with solutions to this problem, rather than sit around and continually complain and whine about the terrible condition our nation is in. How can we expect others to respect our laws when we ourselves (Americans) are not respectful of them simply because they conflict with $$$.

First of all, don't think for a moment that "whites" are too good to bend over and pick berries or veges. There may be some lazy, fat asses in this country, but not "white" as a general rule. There are probably more lazy, fat ass Mexicans, because they have diets far less healthy. This is a well known statistic, not a racist comment.

Instead of sending wanabee Americans to Iraq and Afganistan, we need to put up arms against the Mexican Government for not supporting their poor rural citizens with decent jobs, which is the cause of the influx in the first place. Mexico has a lot riding on our funds.

Mexico and the US (and possibly Canada) should band together for a common good. We should never have left our own country until we have solved this ongoing problem. We have no business being there with this going on. They just laugh at us for thinking we are better off than they. We are a joke to the entire rest of the world, and no wonder.

dusesean1986, I will have to disagree with you, why would you want to stand at a cash register all day for $5.00 an hour when in construction you can make $12.00-$30.00 an hour these jobs are not underpaid until now with immigrants under bidding and taking the jobs for cheaper pay.
Whats worse is they are on the sites and really don't understand English and are getting hurt and don't know how to follow direction. I come from a long family white folk line of construction and also, married a contractor and have a professional cleaning business we do very well in this so called underpaid,physically demanding job.
I am not picking on you but, maybe you haven't been in the work force very long and I would love to have this conversation with you in oh say, 20 years when the immigrants have taken over your jobs and lowering your wages and your wondering how you will collect Social Security because, there will probably be none to collect. Then, you and others will see what we are complaining about.

Wild, I too worked construction, both Sheetmetal and wood framing. Was making good money at it too here in El Paso.. even joined the unions, you had to back then. But now there is low cost illegals doing the job and companies let go people like us because they can pay them less and keep them off the books, saving the company money, and at the same time dicking the Unions. I cant get a construction job now.. have to speak spanish, and agree to a huge pay cut. I just wont do it.

Well not that I would, I have a good job now.. but that is looking at cuts do to funding.

People used to actually be able to support themselves washing dishes, waitressing, working in a factory, being a maid, etc. The government and the media keep trying to convince all of us we're too lazy to to these types of jobs. I don't believe we are and I truly believe we do them better. You are partly correct--we won't continue to be underpaid so CEOs can have 40 million dollar bonuses, but we will gladly do physical work for a decent wage.
Perfect! You go, Granny. You said it plainly. I just don't understand people who cannot see what is happening and believe whatever fox news, et al, serves up.

:

Until Now...You said it all...I'm sorry if I spoke for other states, and if I said white people don't do construction...It was politically incorrect..There are white folks in Construction and some states pay these workers different wages..I eat my words..In California, until now, wink wink, no one would be paid 12 dollars an hour for the low crudhole jobs. These are the jobs illegal immigrants happily take up. An Architect, General Contractor, Construction Company Owner/Manager can easily make 30 an hour. When my father's house was built the illegal immigrants were involved in every aspect of work. I think, I don't know for sure, the white folk in California understands illegal immigrants are taking down wages. Not to mention, doing the dirty work of Construction sucks, pays little, and only real benefit is a workout. In California, I'm being honest, I've probably only seen 5 to 10 Cacausian Construction workers on homes my whole life.

I have no idea what occurs in Texas, I'm sure the middle class in Texas has a much greater ability to succeed through Construction. The homes are cheaper, less cost of living, and less illegal immigrants. I'm sorry if I was not clear, my experience is based in California, the wages have been significantly lowered, and either you are making rags or riches, based on a Top Construction Job in contrast to illegal immigrant pick up.
