I won't sign it. You got the idea. How smart you are. They just want to keep the racists happy by building the fence. They will not do mass deportations...& they have no plans to do so....as soon as the American public calls for such an idiotic thing....the Politicians will say .... well there is no money for such things....we spent it all on a wall which you wanted.

The cost of immigration to our society is enormous. The most recent estimate places the net cost of post-1969 immigrants at $61 billion in 2000 alone ($35 billion from legal immigrants and $26 billion from illegal immigrants). This is after immigrants’ contribution in taxes has been subtracted. As high as the cost is now, the rising tide of immigration will lift it even higher in years to come. By the end of 2006, the annual net cost of immigration will have risen $96 billion.
A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research, based on the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation, analyzed the cost of immigrants based on their specific use of means-tested welfare (both direct and indirect), and found that the total immigrant receipt of benefits in 1996 came to $180 billion. That annual amount is sure to grow as the population of legal and illegal immigrants receives over one million new people a year.
The real costs are probably even higher than these estimates, which do not take into account the effects of immigration in displacing American workers from their jobs and depressing wages. Whatever the annual cost, it is sure to grow as the population of legal and illegal immigrants—now at 31 million—receives over a million new people every year. With immigration policy skewed toward admitting relatives from underdeveloped countries and away from skilled admissions, the flow of immigrants is increasingly composed of the unskilled and undereducated. As a result, “immigrants arriving in the past decade or so are earning less compared to native-born Americans than immigrants who arrived in earlier decades.” In other words, the overall earning power of the immigrant population will continue to deteriorate, making them an even bigger drain on taxpayers.

Hey, this would be like one great, big singing telegram to Congress. Talk about having one voice!
I think you need to study a little more in your English as a Second Language class.

I always wonder... Have those against immigrants ever traveled anywhere beyond their state? Have they traveled overseas? Because in that case, they'd LOVE diversity, and have a real blast enjoying what makes us all different!
Not traveling, or getting out enough does what it does to animals locked up: They get caged dementia.... Poor things
