No, they should be apprehended and fingerprinted and photographed. If it the 1st offense, they are given a "no tresspass" letter and deported. If they come again, they will do mandatory jail time if they are men (often women and kids have no say so in the matter).
This is what is in the hearts and minds of the white man.
There is no place in Heaven for your race... only the fiery pit.
what a nice way to generalize and speak for everyone. I'm sure there's a nice warm place for people like that as well.. enjoy
BTW, is there a puerto rican race I missed somewhere? Could've swore it was a little of this and a little of that, which means you're screwed by your own distorted logic.
You can't tell the difference between keeping people from leaving a country vs. letting criminals and leaches enter one at will?
Ask the dead ones who tried to cross. I'm certain they can put a fine point on the distinction for you.
If they can't tell you, ask those who were discovered and killed trying to free themselves from slavery via the Underground Railroad.
BTW - A man who crosses the border illegally to find work to feed his hungry family is neither a criminal nor a LEECH in my book. he is a hero, I can empathize with him , and I would do the same or more if I was in his shoes. Perhaps if we had been realistic long ago and changed the process of issuing green cards and work permits to speed it up, we might have slowed or stopped the problem.
But solving problems is not what politicians of any party are ever in business to do. A problem solved is one less wedge that can be used to divide the p[opulace and keep the donations coming in.
You need a border that would be lethal to cross, with increasing discomfort as you approach it (so animals avoid it too). Putting border guards in the position of shooting immigrants won't work. Maybe some of the "stimulus" money that is being given to big corporations could go to developing the technology for a laser-border, or some variation.
Or, we can keep doing what we're doing, and equalize quality of life with Mexico.

Good idea.
Send Dick Cheney down to the border with a jeep, a case of scotch, and a shotgun and tell him that anyone who tries to come across is a lawyer.
When word gets out, that'll keep 'em home, by golly!
Even suggesting that our great nation should shoot and kill unarmed men, women and children is beyond disgraceful. Thread closed.
