We're already paying for undocumented workers and illegal aliens in healthcare premiums and all kinds of other ways.
Keep in mind, that if you lived in a poor Mexican village and had a chance to escape to the USA you would do it in a heartbeat. I would.
So they're here and there are issues. Amnesty and a clear cheap path to citizenship is the way. Or we could argue about it for another 20 years and accomplish nothing. hmmm what makes more sense?
So because they are already here and using a system that was supposed to be implemented for the citizens, we should just break down and let them in anyways? You know I have a better answer to your question, enforce the existing deportation laws as well as enforce the laws that shut businesses down for employing illegals. Maybe if we made it as difficult as possible to work in this country, they wouldn't be so willing to come here illegally. You know instead of bending over backwards and acquiescing to their demands and needs one by one.
But why not accept them into this country as citizens? We're already paying for them now, they are undocumented. Here's an idea. Make them citizens, document them now they pay taxes. All of our problems are solved. What's the issue with that? Editing to add.. what is your agenda here? Not just yours but anyone. Is it to punish those who broke a law? If so, then what is the end result? Or is it to move the country forward and actually solve a problem. Solving the problem should be the goal, in my opinion.edit on 24-3-2014 by amazing because: (no reason given)

I totally agree with you that the path to citizen ship is a chaotic mess, especially if you aren't a native English speaker. Clear that path up.
I disagree with your thought process. Give them amnesty and a clear path to citizenship to all illegal immigrants. They are already working here and taking jobs away from documented citizens. It just levels the field. If we continue down the path we've been on for the past ...how many years? Decades? Nothing ever changes. Nothing has changed in Decades. Let's fix it. New problems will arise. We'll fix them as they come up. We can't be afraid of change or what could happen.

Nothing has changed because the government is so damn wishy-washy about the immigration thing. If government would actually ENFORCE the laws, then maybe things would start to change. But instead since they have been failing at that, we have to talk about legalizing their failures.
A random Congressman: "Whelp, we've kicked the can down the road so long, there is nothing to be done. Let's just legalize them and call it a day so we don't have to do any real legislating. Tee off's in an hour, I can't be late for that."

No, it's not American's faults, but greedy Corporations. And we, the American consumer need to be made aware of this.
Just bringing this to people's attention. The legal system is working to help now.
Greedy corporations? What about the politicians who encourage illegal immigration? What about the illegal immigrants themselves? Most of these women are assaulted by their fellow "undocumented" immigrants. It goes to show that if someone does not care about the law, he doesn't care about any laws.

Uhhhhhh No.
It is the fault of the men doing this.
If the illegals were not here, it would not happen.
Rape in any term makes me see red and really want to go on a rampage.
It is pretty sick that this happens.

I think it's more a question of how our laws are written and what is right thing to do? As was pointed out earlier, the path to citizenship is a bit of a chaotic maze. The first thing we should do is straighten that out. Then we need to ...well.. do something. We haven't been doing anything for the past few years. Not really.
I guess I'm a little bit more compassionate than some others but I do believe that amnesty and citizenship is the way to go. I could be wrong. I know that If I was born in Mexico, I would be crossing the border for a better life ..perhaps illegally.
If the right thing to do is arrest and deport and strengthen the border, then we need to do that, but smartly. If you've seen of that fence fiasco...we've done a poor job of putting that thing up. We also need to be smart about how we deport. There have been cases of breaking apart families. That is never okay.
