What do you think the most important aspect of the immigraiton debate is?

Question

What's the biggest issue that YOU see?

I disagree, illegal aliens don't hold the economy together, and there's PLENTY of americans that can pick strawberries etc.
You're just reciting hype.

Answer 1

Whether the big corporations have the right to control our borders.

Answer 2

Well, Bush's idea for "comprehensive" reform is a bit null to me. When, all that will happen, is these "guests" workers will simply overstay their "visitation hours," have babies, and end up right back where we are now-- however, there will be many many more than there are now.

If the United States government can't come up with anything else, the U.S. will end up losing it's soveriegnity over a period of time, further increasing the possibility of us becoming a corrupt nation.

As much as I'd like to shove my foot up an illegals ***, that's just not going to stop them. The borders need to be secured and guarded with the assistance of state-of-the-art equipment.

Without it, there will be no end to the small, what we see now, large threat.

Then there is the topic of employers hirering these people. What is it going to take to get our law enforcement to enforce the law? I hear about states making new laws to enforce the formers! What logic is that? That doesn't make any sense!

Congress needs to get their sh!t together! And our Legislators need to pass an 'ultimate' bill that is aggressive enough to stay on top of things! It's about time we start listening to the citizens, not foriegners!

But why would they do such a thing? Their agenda is to make money! They don't care about the citizens, nor the illegals-- So, that is the issue! The issue is where the most stress gathers.

The government could set something up by tomorrow if need be! They could do so, and all employers and individuals assisting; aiding illegals would be challenged to continue to compete like they're doing now. Sooner or later, the illegals would either, 1) starve 2) leave on their own free will, or 3) riot

Which will be taken care of. May take some time, but it can be done-- and no doubt, it would be done. I'm not saying people aren't going to get hurt-- they will. But, if that's our only option, than it must be done.

We cannot continue to leave the borders open. We are too vulnerable for attacks of any kind including waves of illegal migrant invasions.

The government needs to get their act together. They've held out for too long, and they know it. They are the key to the improvement or the destruction of the United States.

Answer 3

No idea really but I don't think we should be letting them in. It's retarded because they're undocumented workers as some people like to call them and if they're not documented then they don't really have to pay taxes. And they don't really want to be documented because that would just make it easier to catch them. I think we need to build a bigger fence along the border. You know like one from Gulf to Pacific. Just so they can't go around the portions of fence we already have. And we need to people to stand there because the new technology wouldn't work that well. Besides the only way I'll believe it's any good is if they use it on the whitehouse. Plus this big complaint about if we round all the Illegal Aliens up there would be a hole in our work force is crap. All they have to do is to raise the wage so the job looks more attractive and more legal citizens'll come around and apply for those jobs. There are plenty of unemployed citizens in the us that are legal and they're unemployed because of the illegal aliens that are willing to work for less then the minimum wage. And if we set up that stupid damn guest worker program for them thats technically pardoning them for the crimes they've broken. One for jumping the fence and more for each day they stay here and work here. And there are more jobs in Mexico then here. They can't be that poor because they send over 20 BILLION dollars back to mexico a year through wire transfers. And plus everyday 93 sex offenders cross the border illegally and end up raping someone and some of their victims are mutilated. So if we let them in like that we're just raising our own crime rate. So the entire thing about illegal immigration is the biggest issue to me.

Answer 4

The most important aspect of the immigration debate is electing public officials who honestly and sincerely act in the best interests of the constituents they represent, a revamp of Congress and Washington.

What is being experienced with respect to immigration is the effect caused by the priorities of our administrations interests being elsewhere.

Answer 5

I think the most essential part of that debate is the exploitation of people's xenophobia. It is a perfect political instrument to drum up enough hate to bolster the dwindling support of the Bush junta.

This country has nothing to fear from immigrants, on the contrary... we desperately need them. Somehow i wished we would have to live for a month without them. Then we would see how much we need them.

Answer 6

Degredation of the schools, which involves draining funds, diverting funds and attention to massive ESL programs causing cancelation of programs for other students, and gangs. They aren't just costing us money, they are costing our children their futures.

Crime and national security is another huge one, but the one I find worst is the schools.

Answer 7

eventual citizenship for the "guests." if we start to give them rights, that is going to encourage more poeple to come over uninvited, and if they are legal you know they will gain access to programs like welfare and medicaid that cost billions and billions of dollars to run. making them citizens and giving them access to stuff like this is going to add 10-20 million low income people to these programs and i heard an estimate that could cost over 500 billion/year

Answer 8

The biggest issue I see is ANOTHER COUNTRY IS
I-N-V-A-D-I-N-G our country.
It does not matter why,better homes,more money,better life,better pay,free housing..etc.
We are being INVADED.
What is there to like about that?

Answer 9

I have alot of Mexican friends...but...they have to pay taxes also !! there are millions world wide who would ..and have been waiting for over 20 years to get here !! they can't simply hop over a fense !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
