I say police the illegals if thats even possible. I know that giving them citizen ship is a contraversial idea. But what else can we do with them anyways since they are already here? If they are gonna live here and use our health care or any other public service why not just give them IDs and tax the crap out of them? At least with IDs it might make it easier to keep tabs on illegals. I dont really want this myself im just saying what other choice do we have other than policing our boarders with our military?
I'm against that because:
It is unfair to those who have earned citizenship the correct way.
It would be a slap in the face to those who are still waiting in the legal line.
We would lose all control over who is allowed into our country.
And we should have total control over who becomes a citizen. Before anyone calls that racist or whatever, look at some other countries, like Australia, and see what their requirements are for becoming a citizen. We need more productive people, not drains on social services.
I'm also against anchor babies, btw.
How do we manage the ones that are here? One illegal alien at a time; jail them, fine them, then deport them. And promise them a long prison term if they return illegally.
Where to imprison them? There's lots of desert in AZ, and Joe Arpaio could be the head man of the effort.

I think that we also assume that most illagals create crime but at the same time ignoring the ones that actually follow the laws other than being illegal.

But all we have to do is compare that to other figures to get some perspective.

I would like examples please and maybe a further logical conclusion, Mr. Wupy, of how my posts prove I am a racist.

When you select one race and begin to moan about how terrible they are, you are a racist.
I believe that when you choose a race of people and condemn them you are taking a racist stand. You believe otherwise.

I would appreciate your pointing out where TrueAmerican selected or chose a race of people to condemn.
While a silent illegal immigrant war rages in this country right under our feet, Bush is instead obsessed with Iraq and the Middle East. Mr. Bush, you want a terrorist organization that IS an IMMEDIATE threat to the US, and has infiltrated our school system at a grass roots level? Try MEChA. Oh, that is NOT a terrorist organization, you say? I'd say any organization which perpetuates the takeover by force and annexation of a very large portion of US territory is AT LEAST a terrorist organization, if not an outright enemy of the state. Wiretap THEM, Mr. Bush.

20,000 million illegal aliens? Let's do the math here 20,000,000,000? That's over 3 times the population on Earth. Man, those Mexican's are busy in the sack.
Just curious what math are you talking about I saw nothing stating X times this or Y times that? I would like to know how you turned 20 million into 20 billion is all?
REALLY? And how does the author know these are illegal aliens? Did he ask for any identification? Or did he just ASSUME that they were illegals?
I didn't read past that as it was clear that there was NO logic or facts applied here, just a hate piece.
It is easy for the author to know they are illegals the companies have either admitted they hire illegals or the government has caught them hiring illegals.
I also disagree it is not a hate piece he is simply stating his observations. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to spot illegals.
Pull up to anyone of the corners they stand on daily that are known to have illegals looking for work, flash a fake badge and they all run like hell. If they weren't illegal they would have no reason to run would they unless of course they have warrants outstanding which I doubt would be the case for lets say all 20 people if that is how many are on the corner.
Have no fear though they are getting closer to Canada everyday when they arrive you too will complain about their stealing your jobs.

Have you ever done math WORD problems? If not, you may want to protest your educational system. It is completely OBVIOUS what this piece was trying to say. Oops, caught them in the act.
What do you need to be to spot them? Careful.

What on earth are you talking about math word problems? We are not talking words we are talking math and I want to know how you came up with 20 billion.
Frankly I do not know or never have heard of word math problems as you put it.
I already explained, but perhaps you did not understand so here it goes again.
Just pull up to a known corner they hang out on looking for someone to come along and offer them a job. Then flash a fake badge at them and they ALL run like hell that is how you can spot them. Or you could do the alternate of asking them if they are looking for work and when they say yes have them pile into the back of your pick up then drive to a police station and pull in the police station parking lot you get the same result they all get out and run like hell.
Now why would they run?? Yes if one or two had warrents they would run but not all of them.

Sorry, I gave the US educational system more credit than it deserved. Thanks for the update. I'll go through it slowly then. 20,000 million IS 20 billion, use a calculator if you need to.

That says it all. Your mind is made up and you won't even discuss this from a point of LOGIC.

Let me give all who read this a little personal info about myself and family. I'm a Tejano(a Texano of Spanish/Indian descent) who's family was one of the founding families of Texas. We've even got a county in Texas that bears our name. That's said, I would love to see all these illegal Mexican workers safely and securely back in their native Mexico. Especially if they're breaking the laws of the states which they currently are abiding. If I broke a law in Mexico, I would be harshly treated if not abused by Mexican law enforcement officials. This is not a question about human rights or redressing past injustices, it's about obeying the current laws of our country.
Every time here the term Reconquista of the Southwest US, I would love to give every native American in the Southwest a rifle and free reign to defend their previous tribal lands. These lands belonged to tribes like the Apache, Navajo and Comanche and were strongly defended against the Spanish colonial forces who holed up in their mission like San Antonio and El Paso and barely controlled territory 5 miles from them.
Our neighbors south of the border have had 400+ plus years to develop their economy but are so firmly entrenched in their Patron/Peon class system that their is still no middle class in Mexico after these 4 centuries.
It's high time we held the Mexican govt accountable for the betterment of its own citizenry. The only cure for our illegal immigration problem is true economic development in Mexico for all its citizen and not the just the rich.
