How do you feel about illegal immigration and why? I know this is really touchy subject, but I'm on Fall Break, kind of bored, and I've got the time.

Just as an additional detail, I am the daughter of an illegal alien. I don't know if that'll in any way change the mode of the answers given here, but I just thought I should mention that.

There are alot of industries in the US that are largely dependant on immigrant labor. They are cheap labor and they do jobs that no one else wants to do. It's easy to say kick them out or blame them for taking jobs, but as it stands now, we need their labor.

Yes,it is a touchy subject.I feel,we as America,need to do something to stop this influx of people entering our country ILLEGALLY.They are more than welcome to come here,if it done through the proper legal procedures.We need to fine those employers that hire these people and pay them slave wages.Americans WILL do these jobs if they are paid a fair wage.The illegals take far more from our country than they ever give back.Hospitals are closing because they use the ER as a doctors office and don't pay the bill,the American school children's education is suffering because we have to accommodate for those who can't speak English,our welfare system is being abused when they come here and have "anchor babies".Not to mention all the innocent people who have had their SS# and identity stolen by those here illegally.Also all the crime and disease they bring along with them into this country.We need to start taking back our country,we can't afford to be the dumping ground for everyone else in the world.No amnesty for those already here and we need to start deporting those we can.We need better border control.Take away the incentives to come here and get the benefits meant to be for Americans and they will stop coming.

This is a hard question to answer. I understand that we do utilize their cheap labor, but personally, I hate it when I have to talk to people who do not speak the native language of this country.
Why would you want to live in a country when you dont even speak their language? Or they have such heavy accents that most cannot understand them anyways. They strive on our government. THey terrorize our country. Kick em out thats what i say.

Who will pick the grapes? The cotton? The peaches? All of the farm products in California?
We need a solution that recognizes that a large part of our economy depends on undocumented workers.
