Answer 3

i believe there are guards to guard the borders. i work in a factory where they accept temp workers its like temp to hire or whatever a lot of them are Mexican or foreign when we go to hire them they cant come up with the paper work to show they're legal so they get let go. if they started cracking down on the temp agencys and stop letting the illegal people work and take our money it would stop the problem right there . if they cant take our money and then run back to their familys with it we would be fine. i don't mind the ones who do what their supposed to do and become citizens , but the ones who just want to suck us dry so they can be set or their familys can be set really bothers me

Answer 4

Locate and return to their native country. Let them follow the laws for legal immigration just like all the legal immigrants in this country.

Answer 5

Attrition thru strict local, state & federal enforcement on both illegal immigrants & the businesses that hire them!

Answer 6

I think it's simple. ENFORCE the damn laws that are on the books already. Why make up all of these new laws when the candy as s politicians won't enforce what's on the books now?!!! grrrr

Answer 7

first the border need to be locked down as much as possible using a fence/wall more patrols and surveillance, second employers need to be able to check on the status of possible illegals, thirdly the Mexican government need to fix itself. there is way to much corruption and the drug cartels run the country...

Answer 8

Go after the people and companies that hire them, fine the people that rent to them. Stop buying off of companies that hire them. Call your senator and congressman, tell them No amnesty.

Answer 9

Immigration is often promoted as a means to solve global problems such as poverty, corruption, and overpopulation, but immigration merely shifts global problems to the U.S. Global problems need to be solved where the people are at. Politicians and others avoid the causes of global problems and dramatically increase U.S. problems when they say immigration must occur until the forces causing immigration are eliminated.

Possible solutions include;

Restructuring of U.S. foreign aid from corporate welfare and aiding despots with military armaments to effective techniques such as sustainable agriculture, women's rights, and access to contraceptives.

Increased support for global human rights. It is important to recognize that human rights agendas provide the right of emigration, but not immigration. In other words, people everywhere should have the right to leave their country to go to a country that accepts them, but human rights agendas do not provide the unconditional right to break the laws of a sovereign country.

The U.S. needs to lead by example. Although the U.S. is often perceived as a model for economic and military power, democracy, and individual rights, a multitude of problems such as inability to stabilize U.S. population, wasteful consumption, and excessive corporate power urgently need fixing and are a poor example for the rest of the world.

National Perspective:

From a national perspective America can get illegal immigration under control only if the will to do so exists. Unfortunately that will has not yet existed. Only until Americans force their leaders to address the problem will levels be significantly reduced. Addressing the problem means illegal aliens should not be rewarded, but, if they refuse to return home voluntarily, they should be humanely deported as required by law. Reduction in the number of illegal aliens should be by attrition as a result of real enforcement of immigration laws. Mass deportation is not a viable approach. See Attrition.

Experts generally recommend the following three major priorities to control illegal immigration into the U.S.:

Interior enforcement, especially laws pertaining to jobs,

Border security, especially the Arizona border, and

Elimination of benefits, such as amnesties, educational subsidies, driver's licenses, illegal alien identification cards, and many others.

Principles for turning the tide on illegal immigration explains the main actions necessary.

9/11 Families for a Secure America has an excellent list of solutions at Essential Immigration Reform.

It should be understood that illegal migration can not be reduced without a reduction in legal immigration. There is a high correlation between legal immigration and illegal migration. Legal immigration increases illegal migration and illegal migration increases legal immigration. When someone says "I am against illegal immigration but am for legal immigration" the reality is that one significantly drives the other and addressing only one aspect will not resolve the problem.

The illegal immigration problem can be solved if only the will to do so exists. A humorous solution, taken from the mad cow disease investigation, is:

Our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington. They can track calves direct to their stalls, but is unable to locate 11+ million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Perhaps the solution is to give every illegal alien a cow.

Answer 10

I think it should be stopped! When England was being bad to us we started a revolution, that is what Mexico and Cuba need to do!
