Immigrate is a verb.


People can't be descendants of verbs.


Citizens came from legal immigrants. Key word: LEGAL!!!!

Did it end the nonsense last time we legalized them? It actually lead to a whole lot MORE nonsense. Let's not make that mistake again.

For what it's worth, I'm all for punishing the employers. I'm also for deporting the illegals that don't deport themselves. I'm also for very tight border security. As far as I'm concerned, we should attack the problem on all fronts.

The difference is that there were no social services back then. Everyone was responsible for paying their own way. If you didn't work, you didn't eat. No medicaid, Medicare, or Obamacare subsidies. No social security. No welfare of food stamps. I would not mind open borders if it didn't cost us anything.

It is not our land that they want, nor is it our land that we need to protect. It is the economy that we have built that they want a back door into. We need less people who will be a drain and more people that will be an asset.

If we get rid of the illegals, and then we find that we do not have enough low skilled labor, I'm sure there will be a long line of people willing to come here legally. At least that way it will be focused on our needs instead of theirs.

Hispanics in general support the illegals much more than any other demographic. Fact of life.
Well, considering many of the Hispanics are either anchor babies, dreamers or illegals themselves, it would make sense that those Hispanics favored illegals. Only about 40% of Hispanics are eligible to vote, think about it.

As we know, they are now using the legal immigrants who are Hispanic or born American citizens for their cause.

You don't appear to be well-informed about the "quality" of the illegal aliens coming in. They are uneducated and, frankly, most are unemployable thus the anchor baby making business they engage in.

Well, maybe the 1 in every 8 white collars workers who are taking jobs from Americans. It isn't a matter of IQ for most since they are uneducated.

The problem is too big and involves too many people. That's unfortunate.

I'm all for any suggestions. How should Trump handle it differently? Personally, I'd rather see a penalty, a path to citizenship, and greatly simplified immigration policies. But the worst thing that can possibly happen is for the government to continue doing nothing and ignoring the problem.
Just enforce the law. We cannot reward people for criminal behavior. At a cost of more than $13 billion per year in taxpayer dollars, I would think it would be fairly simple to understand the purpose of our immigration laws and that isn't even taking into account the crime, often rape of our children and murder.

They are all criminals. Illegal aliens are criminals when they cross the border without authorization. Trump isn't doing this himself, simply letting border patrol/ICE do their jobs. He had a deportation order from 2014.

We could use that $113 billion plus in savings on taxes to pay higher wages so we could have citizens doing the jobs. It would be awesome!

The tax savings should cover that. Haven't we felt that the real tears were over having to pay more for the services that mainly the wealthier Americans get as we subsidize the workers they underpay with our tax dollars?

I'd also venture to guess that he also either broke our tax laws or stole someone's identity. Afterall, he couldn't work and pay taxes without falsifying someone's identification or else he wasn't filing his taxes. Well, I guess he may have been freeloading off us taxpayers. What do you think?[/QUOTE]

I think they do wonders for our economy and contribute much to our society.
To our economy, think again: The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers (2013) and Civil-rights commish: Blacks hammered by illegal immigration

And to our society, think again: Victims of Illegal Aliens Memorial and Illegal Aliens Committed 500 Child Sexual Assaults in North Carolina During January ⋆ UFP NEWS and Mexican Illegal Alien Deported Ten Times Since 2010 Charged With Child Rape - Breitbart and it is costing our children when it comes to their educations: https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnew...school-budgets and it goes on and on.

What we know is that if the government paid to raise our kids, gave us subsidized housing and daddy only visited the house to make more anchors, we could afford to work for less too!

Undocumented workers are fine. Just hook them up with the state records department where they were born and they can get a copy of their US birth certificate. Simply not having documents isn't a big deal, we had to send to 3 different states to gather all of ours.

I am sick of subsidizing those who need "menial" tasks done and don't want to pay enough to hire a citizen worker. They need to take care of their own kids, mow their own lawns and clean their own toilets!

As you probably will with mine. The bottom line is that it is a crime to enter the US without authorization. If you need menial jobs done and can't afford to pay a citizen wages to do it, you'll have to either get a better job or an extra job, or do your own menial jobs, I'm tired of subsiding the cleaning of rich people's toilets with my tax dollars!

Let's not forget that he had a DUI and deportation order, and that they were aware of the consequences and had discussed it.

Illegal aliens and DUI: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/03/30...l-drivers.html

I cannot imagine that anyone that cares about our country supports illegal immigration unless they have a direct link to it.

100% Agree.

Mandate e-verify for ALL employers (and that includes the limousine liberals on both coasts who LOVE their cheap illegal alien labor gardeners, pool service workers, housekeepers, nannies, etc.)! Mandate e-verify for landlords and rental agencies/management! Harboring illegal aliens is a federal crime, so make anyone who rents residences use e-verify to qualify renters. Those who have a valid visa to be in the country (e.g., H-1B, student, etc.) would still be able to rent a residence for longer than a vacation stay, but illegal aliens would not.

I don't believe you. Period. MOST people who are "smart" are needed back in their own countries and will stay there cause their kind are taken care of in the good way.

Too; I'd have NO problem locking up people as well as take all their assets if their kind hire known illegals.

If you don't act the legal way then don't whine if you are deported according to the laws of land.

Canada is deporting on Monday a Dutch citizen who lived in Canada for 59 years and has no family in Holland but they apply their laws and no Canadian seems to care or protest. Americans should take their example.
Actually the Canadian action is pretty absurd and makes no sense. Be interesting to see if they do it even though it is a gross miscarriage of justice. And there is lots of interest in the case in Canada.

And he entered legally and is in no way an illegal. This is simply bad government.
