Should we insist that the border fence be built before giving amnesty to illegals?

Question

The Senate immigration bill does not require that the border fence with Mexico, that was mandated by last year's law, be finished before giving amnesty to almost all the illegal aliens in our country. Nor does it require that the new border patrol agents be trained and on duty before amnesty kicks in. Shouldn't these two things be accomplished before granting amnesty to all the illegals in our country?

Answer 1

Absolutely! Build the fence first, but never grant amnesty.

The new bill is supposed to be "comprehensive immigration reform." If you read it, it is a tangled web of repealed laws and changes to existing laws. Nowhere, however, does it mention the Secure Border Fence Act passed by the House and Senate and signed into law by President Bush last October. The new bill has sections on building fences - 2 miles past city limits and only in certain areas.

Answer 2

I don't understand a many billion bucks
we going to waste before start doing the right thing

I'm not a politican or a economist even a stupid guy like me
he know to solve this problem we need to go where begin

1 fixed the mexican economy

3 law enforcement focus to arrest gang members and real criminals,jail time and deportation.
4 make the government of mexico pay for the expending
of all illegal immigrants from mexico
we have to stop waste our money
believe me the government of mexico they will think twice
before let the poor mexicans cross the border
if then they have to pay for

5 ENFORCE THE DAMN IMMIGRATION LAW
without shaking in the shoes or play political game
in order to gain some new voters this is disgusting

6 for all illegal resident in our country more that 6 years
we tell them to come out and start the process to become legal if the refuse punishment is deportation
it works we see this in Italy

Answer 3

Border Security should be given priority above all other concerns.It should be in place and guarded like a National Treasure,because America is our National Treasure.Giving Amnesty to millions is almost an immoral act done to American Citizens,and to those who went threw the process of becoming legal the proper way.

Answer 4

We should never give them amnesty no matter what. You are right though. The triggers are very soft and open to individual interpretation. I think they should not address the illegals at all. Use the fund to secure the border and enforce our current laws. The illegals will take care of themselves.

Answer 5

Yes, we must build the fence. I do not know why these bills introduced in congress have to be thousands of pages long. It is quite simple.

1. Build the fence
2. Deport the illegals
3. Enforce the law

Wish there was more, but that is ALL we have to do.

Answer 6

300+ miles will be built before the amnesty kicks in according to the liar, pieces of fecal matter that are in power
seeing is believing. I'll wait for now

Answer 7

What we have is congress that doesn't want to work to get a decent bill dealing with immigration. The chimp is pushing for these illegals to come to America without ever going back to wherever they came from. There is NO caring about America's citizens as it now stands. If we support those that support this kind of legislation, we have FAILED the American people who have a right to be here!

Answer 8

(sounds like a trick question) we need to immediately secure the border & control it, but never give amnesty to illegals; reform the immigration process, but enforce the law. we have to vote every single idiot out of office that refuses to secure the border, enforce the law, & deport illegals

Answer 9

yes- but it wont happen because there are no funds to cover that- Remember all the $ is being used in Iraq

Answer 10
