My feeling is that our government at all levels has been trying to 'nicify' the immigration issue for years, mainly because they've been HEAVILY lobbied by various pressure groups representing companies that have no problem with hiring illegal workers at half-price. It's time for the public to get out and 'lobby' and maybe hold some recall elections and remind everybody that the majority rule still applies, and that largely the majority wants Mexico to pack their bags and move home. Nothing personal, but the whole illegal immigration thing has made a MESS out of a lot of aspects of our country, if mexicans want what americans have, then let them strive to build it up for themselves. Mexico could be prosperous, Mexico could be successful, Mexico could sustain its' own population noooo problem, but no, but no, it's 'lets all leech off the United States' instead. Our legislators need to throw the book at the pro-illegal advocates, fine em out of business as necessary, and start passing some no-nonsense measures that clarify the situation for all involved. Clean slate, brook-no-bullshit, take care of the illegal immigration problem. And no, you don't need to run around shooting people to do it, either. We're talking just some good ol' fashioned american problem-solving here, the capacity to 'help' Mexico rediscover
at least some minimal respect for our border boundaries, and generally pull the plug on some negative social trends before they go 'runaway'. Congress needs to act as a body and help reinforce their own and others' understanding of That Which Is The United States, and That Which Is Not, you know, for clarity purposes. Mexico is crime-ridden, corrupt, has a laundry list of social problems as long as your arm, and fixing it is going to take more than just letting em come and rake your leaves or vacuum your carpet or whatever. Let's hope that their new president gets off to a good start, and has a vision for an independent Mexico that has thriving trade with their northern neighbor...

In Puerto Rico we have the same problem with the Dominicans.
They don't care about getting any Visa, all they want is a better life. They come here to make the tasks that most puertoricans don't want to do. And you know what, that was what we asked for.
Why?
Because a high percentage of population have lived among generations from the Welfare. They just don't want to work. Why should they work if the government is paying for their homes, utilities, food, Direct TV, SUV's (Escalades, Navigators, etc). Yes they drive SUV's.
But this bills are really paid by me and many other puertoricans who bust our a-s-s-e-s 40 hours a week and pay our taxes. And you know what, this RECOSTADOS (people that lay within others to live) have LEARNED this way of living from the USA.
At least most illegals that receive welfare actually work. It would be worst that you send them back and still have people who really can work sustained by Welfare and don't do anything(government and you call them poor people).
I suggest you to ask the government, besides enforcing the immigration laws, reform the way that some social aid is given to the citizens. We have tried this a lot of times but since we have no congressional representation (and we are US citizens), we can't do anything.

First off, don't let yourself be soured on an entire people group simply because all of its criminals decide to run across our joke of a border and continue their criminal careers here. There are good, decent Mexicans in the US, including some illegals. The solutions are 1. Blocking off our southern border so that they (and God only knows who else) can't just keep coming, 2. Streamlining the immigration process so that good, decent, hard-working Mexicans who deserve citizenship or temporary visas aren't stuck behind neverending lines and slipped through bureaucratic cracks from which there is no return and left feeling like sneaking in illegally is the only option, 3. Determining who the good illegals who should be here legally are and helping them get that way, and 4. Deporting the rest. It's really that simple. And that complicated.

I'm in a foreign country and my thoughts on the immigration problems we face - we'd be much better off if we didn't have people mirroring your attitudes running our country. Unless you're a Native American Indian, you don't own the land, so you have no right to say Mexicans are invading 'your' country.

I'm also from Texas (Houston area.) What they are doing is called "Reconquista." Personally, I'm sick of them and don't give a **** who doesn't like it! I, too, believe they are trash. Don't like it? Well, too bad! If they just HAVE to be here, there should be a limit on how many children they can have. I know that will probably never happen, but, it's a nice thought!! Hey.....I WANT MEDICAID TOO! I'm in need of a Gallbladder operation and don't have the $10,000 it costs to have it. Oh! And I'm a REAL AMERICAN CITIZEN who knows I can't afford a baby every year! So why not award ME? And pay for MY medical needs? Remember.....I'm a LEGAL American citizen........

I don't live in the Southern states but where we live, they have infested. It's probably 30% Mexican, most of whom are illegal. of course and don't speak a word of English.
They should be rounded up on buses or carts or whatever. I don't care. They should be forced to leave. The crime rate has sky rocketed since they have moved here in droves.
KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL
You know the rest.
