Do you think that some of what is said on here is needlessly dramatic at times? Many threads are over generalized, dramatic, and doesn't aim at creating a viable solution. Instead they tend to polarize and incite an emotional reaction. What do you think? Also, do you think that ultimately the way to solve illegal immigration is not via some sort of comprimise (be it with illegal immigrants and/or those for illegal immigrant/immigrant rights).

It's like compromising with a rapist. No compromises. These people are criminals.

Some solutions I have:

1) Impose huge fines on anyone who hires or rents to criminal aliens.

2) Set up a hotline people can call to report criminal aliens or those hiring them. If information leads to convictions of employers or to deporations of criminal aliens, a reward can be provided. The money can be raised from the fines.

3) Any time a person is pulled over by the police or accused of committing a crime, citizenship or legal status will be verified. If it is determined the person is a criminal alien, he/she will be deported. If the crime is a felony, he/she will go through the regular trial process and imprisonment and will then be deported immediately.

Illegal Immigrant rights? That in itself is an Oxymoron. If tax payers have to keep shoveling money towards programs that support people that aren't supposed to be here there is going to be drama and reactions. I don't work every day just to subsidize someone good at sneaking across our border. It's all financial for most taxpayers. We don't hire them and we are being fleeced.

Change that and we'll have something to talk about.

Illegal immigrants and rapists? That's an odd comparison. They are people here trying to work cheaply to provide for their family. Not pyschologically and physically destroying people. That's what I'm talking about.

I guess to me some of your ideas seem like an overreaction. I can do with the fines (as a deterance...I do think that a viable deterant is needed). I guess coupled with an easier method of entry so that there will be no need to enter illegaly.

Half a million people a year entering legally is MORE than enough. We don't have natural resources to host every Countries poor. It's really quite simple. We are importing poverty we cannot afford and standing there like a deer in the head lights while it happens.

Actually they are psychologically and physically destroying us. They're raping us of our tax money by entering the country and demanding it without our consent. Their kids are taking away from our kids' education in schools. I could go on and on.

They commit crimes (in addition to the crime of being in the country illegally) at much higher rates when compared to Americans. They commit identity theft on a regular basis, many other offenses as well.

One more thing - your use of the term "immigrant" is incorrect. They are not immigrants AT ALL. The proper term is alien.
