Especially when the US allows more immigrants into this country (2 million a year to be exact and over 50 million in the last 30 years since the 1966 change in immigration policy) than all others combined do in theirs!

I was wrong! The population increase from the 1960's to now was almost 100 million!

Our immigration system is not broken -- our law enforcement system is broken and our government is broken. The laws work just fine and the immigration system would work just fine if the rules and laws were followed. Let's get together, U.S. Citizens, and sue our government for specific performance and for all damages they have allowed illegal immigrants to perp on us. Any of you legal beagles out there know enough about immigration law and the Rico statutes to help us file a class action lawsuit and demand law enforcement?

you would think it is broken too if you had to wait an average of 5 years after filing a form to get say your wife or your children to come live with you. Let's face it the system needs reforms because it is promoting illegal immigration and is hindering legal one. Also you cannot seriously think that the U.S. population increase since the 1960's is entirely due to immigration! Americans make babies too you know.

What an apt picture, Billy! Did you ever realize that Archie Bunker's "bunker-ness" was part of the joke?
Sheesh. It's not broken, but there are problems. What's not needed is our decline into what is essentially a racist response to a question rather than a reasoned approach. And folks, like it though you may not, immigrants give back to the nation by spending, by paying local sales and other taxes, by helping the economy sort of boom along and help the rich get richer in this Republican world we now live in, and also because those employed under "fake" identitities in the workplace actually contribute funds to social security and the treasury and never are able to get the benefits. Children of illegal immigrants and some illegal immigrants are now serving in our armed forces and one descendant of illegals is now, unfortunately, attorney general. Let's ship him back over the border! Jesus wept.

Anyone here illegally should be deported or imprisoned, no exceptions.
Illegals take away resources from law abiding Americans. Employers should be prosecuted for hiring them as they do to beat the wages imposed by the market.
Contrary to what is often stated about the benefits of illegals, it's been shown that they cost the US Taxpayer far more than they benefit the taxpayer.
America would greatly benefit if we deported every single one of them.

They the illegal aliens say its broken, but what they really want is for the laws to fit them, they want coming here made easyer. But you also right the the U. S. A. welcomes more here legally than the the rest of the world put togather. The fact is we have immigration laws, and they are good, time tested laws, all we lack is enforcement. No amnesty, No reform.

Those are the legal immigrants. The broken part is the employers who encourage people to sneak in un-documented and pay them less than a living wage to artificially deflate the price of goods and services, then let their employees rely on tax dollars to educate their children and maintain their health care.

Because we don't enforce the laws that are already in place. If employers were jailed and illegals were deported and/or jailed - things would be a heck of a lot better. That would cut down on crime, drugs, gangs, ID theft, wasting taxes since money would go to citizens (like it should), disease, etc...

Because employers aren't checking to see if their employees are legal immigrants or citizens and nobody is prosecuting them.
Because illegal immigrants enroll their kids in our schools, demand we teach them in Spanish and crowd citizens out of the ER's in hospitals.
Should I continue?

I think you answered your own question. The system is broken because we cant handle all the immigration.
