What happens when the illegal immigrants start coming into the country via the sea ports or airports instead of over the southern border, like the illegal Asian immigrants already do?

Help me out here - is it because Asian illegal immigrants aren't as 'undesirable' as Latin American illegal immigrants?
All illegals are undesirable. Undesirable means that not welcomed in this country.

Illegal is illegal irrespective of their origin, and need to be deported.

When it comes down to it, that is the point they are trying to make- not specifically Asians, but all others... I'll bet you won't find the anti-immigrants wanting to put a border between the U.S. and Canada, or take any measures to keep any other folks out- only 'the neighbors to the south.'

So they pay a fine or get deported for being an illegal immigrant, because illegal immigration is only a misdemeanor. No one does hard time for being an illegal immigrant. And deportations don't stop illegal immigration, it just makes the border coyotes richer.

Or we institute a national identity card system and heavily fine the people who employ illegal immigrants. No one would be able to claim ignorance with the establishment of a national ID system. You'd be happy to register your children with the federal government, right?

...

Enforcing the immigration laws in this country is akin to enforcing the narcotics laws or the gun laws - it's never going to be effective as long as a large population choose to ignore the laws. Prohibition doesn't always work.

Maybe that idea should've come up when the U.S. was stealing 'Texas' from Mexico.

So why isn't anyone calling for stricter enforcement at the seaports? Why is it always 'The Wall'?

So please forgive me if I don't view myself as a 'drain on society'.

Oh, and I guess that makes my father an "anchor baby".
Did your grandmother take a job from an American? Did she collect welfare on behalf of her kids? Those are the ones that are a drain on our society. Still it is against the law for anyone to enter our country illegally either way.

You know why, these people are bigots who don't like Hispanic people. That's why they only want a wall along the Mexican border ... not one mention of the Canadian border, the Caribbean border (Florida, the USVI, and Puerto Rico), or seaport/airport enforcement.

Donald Trump has riled up an anti-Hispanic lynch mob ... and the Hispanics will repay the favor by sending us to meet the Whigs on November 8th 2016. Brilliant move Trump, you killed the party
