Answer 1

Deport, Deport, Deport
ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS
And Their ILLEGAL ALIEN ANCHOR BABIES
IMMEDIATELY Upon Discovery

In Response To miska (Above)

The Economy is NOT going to Collapse
If We Deport All 20 Million NON Taxpaying ILLEGAL ALIENS
From An Economy Supported By 300 Million Taxpaying Consumers
because they only make up 5% of the work force,
and there are plenty of Under Employed AMERICAN CITIZENS
(18 Million Of Them)
to Step Up And fill in after the ILLEGAL ALIENS
( And WHOEVER WANTS TO GO WITH THEM )
Leave OUR NATION

Answer 2

Yes, we are all people. And I don't hate illegal immigrants. I just don't think it's fair that I have to work 50 hours a week to pay the rent and can only get health insurance now that I'm pregnant, but an illegal alien's insurance is free.

I've been here since I've been born. I've been working since I was 17. They can come over here and live on welfare, and get free health insurance. Why, why, why is that fair?

I only believe they should get amnesty...if their country has been blown up. That's seriously the only thing that I can think of. And if they're hiding from the police in their own country...we're an extradition treaty country, right?

Yes, I am unsympathetic. Sorry.

Our economy would not collapse, since illegal aliens compose about 5 to 8% of the workforce. And what is this crap about America being built on slave labor? Sure. In the 1700's. In case you've forgotten, the Emancipation Proclamation passed in 1863, and there haven't been slaves here since shortly afterwards. And yeah, alot of corporations use illegal immigrants as cheap labor, but they don't have to do that anymore, do they? They can ship their jobs over to China and pay those people even less.

And a lot of Americans working those jobs (ie, orchards jobs, cleaning crews, etc) don't make better money, simply because those are transient jobs or seasonal jobs and generally undocumented.

Answer 3

Hmmm....are illegal aliens taking over the world, well yes they are immigrating faster than they have been, but its not a bad thing. They actually fuel our economy. Lets use the united states for example, there are 11 million illegal immigrants in the u.s. they work under the counter, at a low wage, in hard physical labor, with bad working conditions, they mow lawns build houses and work behind they grill at restaurants. They use the money to buy things that they need and yes they still pay sales tax. They fuel the economy, if we were to throw out all illegal immigrants our economy would fall into another depresion and would cause us to loose the war in iraq which would leade to nuclear war, so no we cant throw them out! To stop this problem with the illegal part we need to make easier laws and provide amnesty, just my opinion. O and the statictics are from time magazine :]

Answer 4

Amnesty would be the worst thing that can happen. It will just allow others to follow hoping for the same. What needs to be done is the government has to start targetting the employers. 10,000 fine per each illegal. The check of status will be done by Employment inspectors.
Companies want to make money so hirer illegals will no longer be profitable.
It will be cheaper to hire a legal for minium wage then it an illegal for 3 dollars in hour with these new laws.

Answer 5

No amnesty to the illegals. Cut off all food stamps, welfare, free health care, school tuition, jobs, etc. and use the revenue saved to deport them. I don't understand why some people want to grant amnesty to people who can't even follow one of this country's first laws and come here legally. Deport them all.

Answer 6

I'm against amnesty in principle, because I feel that the rest of the world reads our newspapers too, and we're now 20 years beyond the '86 amnesty of 3 million people, and if it were to happen again, that would be 4 times as many 'instant americans'. I think integrity needs to be restored to the process of trying to emigrate to the United States, and unfortunately that's going to mean that some people that've been living in our country for years are going to need to pack it up and take it on home.
Also, I think more needs to be done to prevent illegal immigration to begin with, including better border enforcement, employer enforcement, the whole 9 yards basically, along with public/ community awareness of the issue. Knowledge is power, the more we know about the scale and scope of immigration as it impacts our country, the better we'll be able to deal with it...

There's 6.5 billion people in the world, having good immigration policy and enforcement behind that policy ensures that we don't end up with 6.5 billion '-americans'....

Answer 7

No amnesty ever again to ANY illegal immigrants! Amnesty has only proven to increase the problem of illegal immigration as giving amnesty acts as an incentive to cause more people to believe that if they come, eventually they, too, will get amnesty. We've already tried that several times in the past and it has proven to NOT be the answer to address illegal immigration.

Round 'em up and ship 'em out! Build the fence, SEVERELY penalize employers of illegals, get rid of the "anchor baby" nonsense law, disallow illegals to receive ANY social benefits, whatsoever, including medical care (other than emergency care only and then deport as soon as possible), no free schooling, no food stamps, etc.

Answer 8

I think we should build the fence first and then AFTER THAT give amnesty to those ones who have lived several years here. We cannot deport 12 million illegal immigrants, they are too much!

Answer 9

Of course they should get amnesty...but not with a path to citizenship....I think they should be able to choose ... if they just want a work permit for a certain amount of years... to return to their homeland after that time ... or if they wish citizenship ... Not everyone wants to be a citizen of the USA contrary to popular belief

Answer 10

It would be hard to get them all out Im sure. But cut out the benefits they are getting...they will leave. When they see that we arent going to spoonfeed them anymore. Make them show ID's. If they dont have a greencard...its their problem!! There is a way. But we have to start something to end something. Its the starting that Im waiting on.
