They want to have it both ways. There are legitimate concerns about the flood of people from Mexico, and they all have to do with the Mexican government / economy and American business interests.
The are no terrorists crossing the border. They are too smart for that. Entering the US from Mexico is more risky, dangerous, and difficult than fly into JKK or crossing from Canada. The people entering from Mexico are driven by economic desperation that most Americans cannot comprehend, even if they wanted to.
The truth is that most anti-immigration people are driven by racism. Otherwise. they would realize that things like building a wall or trying to round up and deport 20,000,000 people is impossible and would not, even if successfully accomplished, solve the problem.
Legal trade crossing the US-Mexican border is the 3rd most in the whole world. That means any wall would be full of holes from the start. Besides, this is not the 1400s. Walls just are not the same barriers they were in earlier times (and the truth is that walls never kept out anyone would was determined to through them). All of the talk about building a wall is political BS. As soon and next months election is over, we will not hear about it again until the 2008 political cycle.
The US government could not evacuate 100,000 people form New Orleans when we knew where they were and they wanted us to get them out. There is no way we can find 20,000,000 who don’t want to be found. All discussion of these and similar ideas are no more than a stupid waste of time.
Meanwhile, the situation will only grow worse.

What you neglect to mention is that a person does not need to be here illegal to do these things.
What is wrong with getting to be an American the proper way?
Also, if there are no illegals here, then the companies that get rich by paying low wages would either step up, be responsible and honest, and hire out people to do the job at an honest wage,or they will go bankrupt and someone else will take over.
I believe the jobs that most people find under them can be done with new technologies, and if we have less illegal persons here, then that technology will advance, and come forward.

Who Do YOU think did all of the things you mentioned above, and much, much more than that, for low pay and NO pay? before the illegal immigrants came here? You talk like the illegal immigrants built this country up to where it is now, yes, they are very industrious, but , I think you either don`t KNOW our countrys History, or you are not willing to give credit where it is due, Mabe you ARE an illeg. immigrant. Well let me be the first to School you and the immigrants, The illegal immigrants came in and pushed out the people who were doing all of the above, plus more.then they worked for less pay, and Now they got their foot in the door and working for mooore pay, and they are now waving their countries flag proudly for all to see, while enjoying all of our countries benefits, I`ve paid my dues, so what if they have to start at the bottom like most of us, and work their way up, so what if you are insulted, because you won`t face the facts? Our economy was already booming, thats why they came here sink or swim, if it cost their life, because of the prosperity of this country. they don`t even want to learn English any more, what does that tell you? probaly "nothing". I really do care about people, and don`t care who come here, it is a free country, but they need to just do their work, and stop trying to make people think that this country can`t make it without them, because that a blatant Lie! They are the ones who can`t make it without our country, and the resources it gives them on a Golden platter! I was told that if I did`nt learn good english, I would not be able to get a job, well that does not apply to most today, and certainly not the illegal immigrants!

I can go to the lawn and garden store at home, buy tomato and about 50 other kinds of seeds, potting soil, and 14 or 15 pots, and have FRESH OFF THE VINE produce on my porch. Cost? Probably about $150. Illegal aliens aren't indispensable, by any means. Porch crops. Something to think about, there! LOL

I think you get the point now. It is not about immigration, it is about Illegal immigration. Most honest Americans have performed all of these jobs you have listed. As far as the price, who cares! It is about illegal immigration ! I am sure there will be an increase in prices, but, they go up regardless of who performs these jobs. So American first, support our country and secure our borders from illegal immigration is all we ask. Anyone that does not support these action is either duped by the media, or does not understand the importance of this issue to our country.

I don't appose immigration,It's the illegals that are the problem. The prison population can pick the fruits of the land along with naturalized immigrants. I am a carpenter and employ all races.The restaurant industry employs all races. Maintenance workers are of all races. Child care workers are of all races. The nation is approaching a vote for the leadership of the country and WE the people are about to make sweeping changes in how OUR country is operated. The openings left in all fields of employment will soon be filled by those with legitimate naturalization ore citizenship. Yes WE the people will do what it takes to MAINTAIN a perfect union,Face it honcho,It's the illegals that mess it up for all the people who have done the right things. The men and woman who wish to live in peace and Harmony all across the land. God bless America,my home sweet home.... don't think I wont defend it Chico.

Not so. These jobs are open to others and there is no reason that immigrants can't legally come to the US and do what ever work they are qualified for. I live in a rural, agricultural area. Most of the workers around here coming from Mexico are legal. They live here for 5-8 months. Work very hard. The pay they receive is so much higher that they are able to return home and live a very high standard that does not require them to work until they return to the US the next spring.

Do you Think America The Super Power needs toilet scrubbers that bad?
We'll force farmers to use machinery to pick our produce and import more worthy immigrants that truly need help like victims of Darfu or Tsunami victims they would appreciate a stable country and no violence.
You Latin American illegal aliens aren't the only ones who want to come to America.
It's time we gave someone else a chance! After all Diversity is good.

False,the cost of produce doesn't depend on the illegals.The farmers,the big corporate farmers price produce.The mark up is now very high and I'm sure they would artificially increase the price and use that as their argument.But when sales plummet you will see the prices fall also.And by the farmers having to pay a livable wage to its legal workers the workers would have more spending power any way.Its a myth perpetuated by farmers to make as much profit as possible off the "cheap" labor of illegals and the liberals.Its not true.
I am not against legal immigrants from any where and most of them are NOT picking produce.The ILLEGAL immigrant is the problem in this nation.

Not going to happen, because the Robber Barons are going to export as many jobs as possible for profit. Even now in places like California where avocados are in abundance, they are selling cheap avocados from Chile. No kidding I bought normal size avocados at the grocery store down the street this week @ three for a dollar. So you can forget that argument about consumer prices rising for lack of immigrants. The 99 cents store has all kinds of good stuff. I figure we're saving beaucoup dollars because of this kind of business.
