...if the country was let's say Africa or Haiti? In my opinion I don't think so, I think the U.S would of already had a massive plan in place to stop illegal immigration. What do you think?

In reply to all who didn't get my question let me clarify it for you - what if the country we boarder was let's say an African country or maybe Haiti would our government be enforcing our boarders and laws a lot more stringently than they do now?

In reply to dizneyfre, I understand what illegal means, idiot, you obviously don't get my point and yes I believe that if the country that boarded the U.S was an African country and not mexico the U.S would of done something about the illegal immigration problem a long time ago.

No. Just clamp down on corruption like Eisenhower did and you'll find the problem vanish overnight.

I don't see the difference. Illegal immigration is illegal immigration, it doesn't matter who the 'immigrant' is. By saying that the government would have had a massive plan in place to stop it completely, you are talking tax dollars out to Wazoo. Building a giant wall, or something like that, is so expensive to do and maintain. I think with us being at War constantly now, and the deficit we have, there will never be a 'massive plan' to stop illegal immigration.
I think the US is doing all that it would do no matter who was down there. Our attention is facing towards terrorism and the infiltration of these groups for the most part. I really do not see a difference between having Haiti in Mexico's place

The regulation is the regulation. If we are to permit immigrants to illegally enter the country (for that reason breaking the regulation) then that is unjust to permit different crimes to have punishment. Legalizing unlawful Immigration is a bad thought via fact a large area of unlawful immigrants are criminals. to no longer point out, American immigration isn't THAT high priced. Plus, the toll on American Social protection could be devastating. apart from, a impressive style of the terrorists that contributed to the countless bombing tries throughout 9/11 have been unlawful immigrants who had overstayed their visas. Open Immigration might enable extra of that via fact the structures could be so backlogged that it would take months for a visa applicant. that is basically a large number. yet, i won't be able to definitely say that i'm for unlawful immigration. additionally, it rather is a false impression to assert that they might deliver extra jobs. Many companies already outsource to different worldwide places, and unlawful immigrants have shown themselves to no longer be marketers with the aid of taking each and all of the roles that individuals do no longer artwork at. that is rather not their fault, that is ours, yet why might immigrants flow contained in direction of the hardship of beginning a clean employer while there are maximum of jobs that at the instant are not being crammed with the aid of the individuals?

I don't know what you're trying to get at.. you think rednecks would be happier with Mexicans than Haitians or 'Africans'?
BTW, Africa is a HUGE place, not some single small country - and there are white South Africans who look just like average white redneck Americans, except they tend to be better educated and have a better grasp of English.

What part of ILLEGAL don't you get? The anti-illegal alien criminal position is the same whether they are from China, Haiti, Africa or Canada. It doesn't matter where they come from. If they are ILLEGAL they aren't suppose to be here.
This has nothing to do with race. It is about the law.

There are immigrants from all over the world. The system is broken. I think the talk will continue and nothing will be done.
