I don't believe in giving anyone a free ride . If you don't earn it , you don't get it . If you break into my home , I'll take you out anyway I can . If you are trespassing , you are breaking the law and should go to jail . We should have signs at the border stating what will happen to the illegals if they cross , so they can't use that as an excuse . " I didn't know that could happen to me ".
Congress will only do something if we put the squeeze on them.
Right now , the Corporations have the control of Congress and the Borders . Raise the fines on the Corporations and use that money to send the illegals home .

I'm anti-illegal immigration. Americans are asked/told to follow a list of laws that runs down your arm and off the page, it's not unfair to ask those that would come to and work/be americans that they do likewise. I think it's the job of communities to evaluate for themselves the impact, positive, negative, or otherwise, and fairly and equitably decide on what steps and measures they support in order to rectify the problem. I'm not out to scapegoat Mexico, or mexicans, but there IS a documented problem in our cross-border relations with the mexican people and their government, it's chronic, means it's gone on for a long time, and they need to get on it and fix their side of things. I'm not saying america's perfect, or better, but it'll sure help americans to sort things out at home if there's not this constant influx of people from god knows where and/or Mexico that have no rightful business even being in our country. Visiting and tourism is all good and fine, and if someone's in our country on legitimate business, that's great, too, but somebody somewhere has to know who they are, what they're up to, etc., and if you just jump the fence, there's no way to tell any of that.
America's really multi-ethnic. We've got people from all over the world working, living in america, and it's a good thing. Up to a point. There is such a thing as 'too much', and it bears keeping in mind that there's some 6.5 billion people in the world. I wager that quite a few would love to skip on over to america. Chance at 'the good life', and all that...but, ask yourself this: How good is that life going to be if the current trends continue? Mexico, for example, has introduced some 4 million or so people into the United States illegally just in the last couple of years. They estimate that this year, our population will crest 300 million.
200 million was the 60's. How long 'til 400 million? 500, 600, 800?
If you're having any difficulty finding work NOW, imagine what it'd be like if the population of the US basically doubled in your lifetime. Don't think it can't happen, do that math...controlled immigration's all good and fine, and maybe we need some reform and modernization there, and then again, maybe we don't.
Maybe coming to america's been over-hyped, and what people REALLY need to be doing is fixing their own problems at home. I'm all for that, by the way, I think 200 billion, that's a billion per country, maybe less for successful countries, more for the ones taht are hurting, something like that isn't a bad idea, necessarily. It shows charity, and good intentions. But, back to growth, you start doing something like that, and it encourages unsustainable growth. We've seen what that's done to livability in more than one american city, it's best to teach the wisdom of LIMITED growth, of which immigration enforcement is a component.
Dropping the gates and letting 20 million or so run right in isn't such a hot way to do business, in my view, and a lot of newcomers are ending up in our jails because they have no knowledge/respect for our laws. If it costs 40 grand to house one prisoner, let's hypothetically assume what it'd cost to house a million...do you like paying high taxes? It's your paycheck...6.5 billion total global population, what's YOUR vision for america's future, teeming cesspool of poverty, or a little show of restraint, here and there? Some people only have ONE hobby...going forth and multiplying....part of the reason that america hasn't degenerated into a teeming cesspool of poverty is thanks to birth control. Wanna live in some part of the world where they ain't got nno money? No? Why not? So, let's not have it in america, either, because the inevitable income of free-for-all immigration policies is that people will use them, and to negative effect.
It's kind of like dealing with a golden retriever at dinnertime...somebody's gotta control the food bowl...

No one is "pro-illegal immigration", so that's a loaded question.
For the first time in a long time I support the President's bill.
We need to strengthen the borders, we need to continue to support economic growth in Mexico, and we need to prosecute employers who hire illegals and exploit their cheap labor.
