Answer 1

Exactly...but to here pro-illegals talk: "They are not a burden." LOL

Blah...you are blah. Americans citizens and in most cases their ancestors have been paying into taxes for years and years and years. Part of being a citizen who pays taxes is being able to take advantage of governmental services. Yes...believe it or not our government believes in giving back to its taxpayers by offering them sometimes needed welfare, food stamps and medical benefits. They were not, however, designed to support individuals who are not "putting anything back into the pool." Those individuals happen to be illegal aliens.

Answer 2

Illegal immigration causes many problems that's for sure. That is an indisputable fact. Given your estimate of 20 million illegals let's proceed from there. Let's say even 1/3 of them are holding jobs. That's almost 7 million people in the workforce. Contributing to the tax base etc. That would leave 7 million job vacancies. Would our nation be able to handle that many leaving the workforce? Probably not. Would Americans step into these jobs for the pay offered? Probably not. Companies bottom line is profit. Would they raise wages to get Americans to work these jobs? Probably not. More companies would begin to outsource. Thus leaving many Americans out of jobs that now hold jobs. Our entire country would collapse and the Great Depression would look like a cakewalk. As I've said illegal immigration is wrong and needs to stop. But we also need to be realistic on deporting as you say 20 million people. Believe me...It's not going to happen for various reasons. So we must move forward and think of realistic ways to deal with the situation at hand and also insure the illegal situation is stemmed in the future. Better border security and visa systems need to be taken care of first and foremost so the situation doesn't progressively get worse. Once the flow is stopped we can then work on what to do with those already here.

Answer 3

Excellent points and you get an A+.. This is such a good question and a thought that has came to me , many times. In America we have thousands of poor people who need help in all ways. America needs to take care of their own citizens and Mexico needs to take care of theirs. When we spend on the illegal immagrants, that is taking away from our own. They need to go back to their country and get welfare from their own country. I The Mexican Government needs to set guidelines as to who can apply for residence in America. I firmly beleive that the only Mexican people who are coming to America Illegally are the very poor Mexicans. I think Mexico is pushing their poor people out. They do not want poor people in Mexico, and not only are the people poor, but they are very angry and agressive.

Answer 4

Both are important...
What kind of person are you thinking about choosing one of your options. You wouldn't feed a skinny abandoned pet? If you would why not to feed your children and educate them to help other people giving them your good example of sharing?
If you wouldn't, I'm so sorry for you!!
