Money talks in the US. If you could be assured that a "lobbying group" (like the MinuteMen) would legally press the US Government to enforce immigration laws and remove criminal illegals from our country, how much would you be willing to contribute/give to support that cause/end? What is it worth on an individual level to you personally, to not have this problem in the USA anymore?

Fascinating! So few would REALLY like the problem to go away. It is no wonder we have such a problem. Apathy and hopelessness apparently is the new creed in the USA. NO longer the home of the free ...and the brave.
We are lost.

Deport them - 500 Billion
Keep them here - 500 Trillion
Freedom - priceless
Arnold said 500 billion till i listened to the Border Patrol how we're being lied to. I wrote Arnold and told him he was wrong.

Not one red cent on account of the fact that the things that brought them here - like unethical employers paying slave wages to illegal employees or the illegal drug trade. If all they want to do is come over here and spend their money, then what do I care? On the other hand, illegal drugs and employment practices hurt us all. Don't even get me started on human trafficking of slaves. Just punishing the illegal immigrants won't change the problem. The real sources of illegal immigration are illegal behaviors here in the US from US citizens.
As for how I would fund attacking these internal problems, I would rather help pay for bounty hunters by setting specific goals and paying for the results, not paying for nothing and expecting results!

I have already been taxed in order to help pay for the enforcement of current immigration laws. What more would you have from me? Blood?, I carry scars recieved in the defense of the American way of life. Some can be seen, others go much deeper, either way, I carry them for life. I believe that I have donated enough to know that I am being short changed by my government on this issue!

I wouldn't pay nothing to help get the immigration out of the USA. The reason is all people should have the right to make their life better even if it in the USA. Everybody move around to find better jobs, homes, and a family so why shouldn't they.

If they'd stop taking out taxes from my paycheck completely, I would pay every week that same amount to get the illegal freeloaders OUT! However, since I already PAY taxes for law enforcement, then that is your answer, I ALREADY PAY for deportation. Illegal immigrants are criminals and never should have been here (law should have been enforced). Now that they are here they should be prosecuted (prison) or deported for their illegal entry. It's already been PAID for!!

Nothing, not a red cent. The government has the money to do it, they just squander it on other unimportant things. Besides, getting a bill like that up for a vote would be so filled with pork the greasy slime would cover DC a foot thick.

I would not contribute a dime!!!Nor a penny!!! Make these companies that hire illegals pay the tab because we ,the U.S Americans, are tired of paying the tab!!!!! We should also repo anything the illegals have bought with U.S. dollars and hold auctions. That would cover a little of the cost.

Nothing that is the fed governments job, to deport illegal aliens, they did it in 1954, they can do it again, they deported almost 1 million in one year, using trucks, buses, boat, and airplanes, it was called( operation wetba*ks.) it is just our government has no balls, and Vicente Fox is running our immigration department, he said he wants all illegals from his country to stay, with go guff from the United States. And he's getting his way, very few are being deported most are caught and released.

NOT ONE CENT!!!
How do you think the Indians (my wife is part Miq'Maq' [Micmac] - if you can't name a tribe, most Indians prefer that term to "Native American") felt about YOUR ancestors? Do you think they came here "legally" when they tricked various Indians into signing treaties they didn't understand?
Besides that, wealthy businesses and individuals make a lot of money exploiting "illegals", and then, when it is politically expedient, they want to get rid of them.
I'd pay whatever I could to investigate and prosecute those businesses that exploit illegals, though. They are guilty of enticing them here with jobs; they are guilty of not using the tools available to them to make sure their workers are legal. So, if you're conducting a poll of sorts on public opinion, not everyone is bigoted.

The money that we save the first year from the drain on system programs would cover it all the deportation cost. Sorry but true. After that we would save that much annually.
On a personal level-none.
