I live in Georgia and lately I have been reading in the paper and hearing on the news about how we are faced with an extreme increase in the amount of immigrants residing here illegally in our state. Georgia has one of the highest concentrations of illegal immigrants in the country. The govenor, Sonny Perdue and his democratic opponent Mark Taylor, have made promises to fix the problem. Do you agree with either of them? What do you think needs to be done? Should we offer amnesty? Immediate deportation? Or should nothing be done at all?

This whole abysmal situation is like discussing flood control measures in New Orleans after the levees have broken. We are already up to our @@@ in alligators, it is somewhat late to be thinking we should have taken preventative measures years ago. I blame congress and state legislatures for fiddling while Rome burned. The 800 pound gorilla has already moved into our guest bedroom. I am at a loss for good ideas. I hope someone in power comes up with one.

Our Congressman Solomon Ortiz (D) TX along with others in the Hispanic Caucus and the Democratic Party at large, plan to amnesty them under the guise of "normalizing their status".
Round them up, send them back. Give 5 yrs mandatory jail time to those that hire them, or transport them.

I think that is too many people to offer amnesty to. Deport everyone and let them apply for legal citizenship. Politicians make a lot of promises, but don't count on them to do anything anytime soon.

First, secure the border fence...begin that process now...
along with that, mass deportation to the furthermost part of the illegals native country.
Then....prison time and penalties for ANYONE aiding, abetting or harboring an illegal. That, specifically, for employers.....
We also need to boycott those companies who give thousands to subversive groups as La Raza.....

Talk with your U.S. Congressman/woman about this. Contact the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service of the U.S. Government - probably in Atlanta for your area). Let them know what you think.

Write to your city council, your county officials, your local newspaper, your state representatives, and your governor and express your concern and objection to tolerance on illegal immigration. Or, learn spanish and wish that you had...

Find em, shoot em. That's my blunt answer to your question, and a great way to solve the problem. That would send a clear message to the ones still in mexico to stay there, because we don't want them here.

Immediate deportation, the only way, or let the rest of us disobey
some rules too.
