1. It's not a crime, its a civil offense
2. It would be too hard to hunt down over 20 million people
3. It would be too expensive
4. It's just impractical

Solution:
1. Make them serve what ever jail time they are sentenced to (if any)
2. Make them pay a fine
3. Make them take a test on American law and English

Actually it would be fairly easy to hunt them down. We would just need to deputize a couple thousand citizens per city. They grab the illegal and keep what ever booty the illegal has as a fee and then deport him themselves.

But saying we can't deport 20 plus million is really not the point. We can get them to self deport by seizing their assets, and drying up the jobs.

I wouldn't want to be deputized. If they were to deputize they would be deputizing my brown a$$ every day. I seriously don't want to change my last name. And if you wanted to seize their assets you would have to know who they are first.

I catch your drift re: surnames------my birth name sounds 'Hispanic'.

And in all fairness; if 80+% of the illegal immigrants self deported, much of the hostility against the ones left would likely diminish-------if the latter was otherwise staying under the radar.

You'd do well to learn the difference between civil and criminal law. After doing so, you should realize that crossing the border illegally is a criminal offense.

BULL****. Multiculturalism did not build this country, different ethnic groups yes, but not multiculturalism,

Chinese Americans call themselves Americans. German Americans call themselves Americans. Any other person with ethnic ties to other countries (99.9) calls themselves Americans. These illegal Mexicans who live in America, and even many legal Mexicans call themselves Mexicans, not Americans.

We now have a Spanish-Quebec running amock in America. This country has built itself around the culture and identity of AMERICA. We don't call it the Mexican-American dream, we call it the American dream. We don't predominantly speak two languages, we speak English.

Why give amnesty to people here illegally? I don't understand the logic of rewarding people that break the law while many other legal immigrants wait and wait. Why give their spot to a lawbreaker? I don't see the logic. I personally don't want someone that we already know breaks laws to become a US citizen. Too many of our forefathers fought to make the US a great country. Way diluate it with people that don't give a rats behind about the US and it's law abiding ways?

One significant difference: when the flow of illegals is staunched; as the children of the green card holders grow up, Spanish will fade out------unlike the 'real' Quebec' where the provincial government there does every (barely) legal thing in the book to try to enforce the use of French.

How sure of this are you? I see Spanish culture GROWING in our country, not fading. I have seen Irish, Asian, Italian, etc culture throughout the country, celebrated on different holidays and in mini cities within cities. However, nothing compares to what we see now with the Mexican culture. There culture is competing with the American culture, and has been gaining pace. We may not be at the doorstep of a Spanish-Quebec right now, but it is a larger possibility in our future now than it was 20 years ago.
