I think they should be afforded no protection under the law either. If you are found to be an illegal you have no rights and all crimes committed against you are null and void.

We don't treat people like insects to be squashed and killed and tormented.

illegal immigrants should be kept out, but the people who are committing the crimes are the U.S. citizens that knowingly hire them.

They're the ones that should be targetted for poor treatment.

If we didn't hire them, and pay them they wouldn't come over. Jail time for offenders would open some eyes. Companies that hire, and get caught should lose their business licenses, and managers that hire should be charged as a criminal and given jail time.

Instead of blaming the Mexican's who are poor and trying to feed families, blame the people who are greedy and want to make a buck off illegal immigrants.

Right on! If you are here in this country ILLEGALLY you should have NO protection! Crimes against illegals should fall into the category of "What crime?"
Let the illegals suffer. If they are harassed, too bad. If they are beaten, too bad. You want to be here illegally, fine, but the laws of this land will not protect you!

Seems to me if you are granted protection under our laws you should also be expected to follow the laws......even if you don't like them or they prove to be inconvenient. They seem to be the first to thumb their nose at the law but are the first to run for protection for their so called "rights". It's a package deal.....not a smorgasbord of choices to pick and choose from when the mood strikes.

That's such a bad idea because then that would apply against all criminals in this country:
> Sexual predators (there are many in the U.S.)
> Drug dealers (those controlled by American people)
> and all other criminals you can think of..

What? You don't think so? Well, based upon your criteria, they are not following the law, so they should not be protected under the law. No court hearing, no lawyer, no rights.

Do you still like that idea? :)

And what about all the farmers and businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants?

Shouldn't we strip them of their immunity to prosecution?

Apply all of the Immigration laws even the ones conservatives hate.

THAT'S RIGHT!!!

Enforce employer sanctions. The law making it illegal to hire an illegal alien has been on the books since 1986, but has rarely been enforced. The government must implement a consistent policy of enforcement against employers that includes stiff fines and even criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens and engage in document fraud or identity fraud. As jobs for illegal aliens dry up, many will return home voluntarily.

End document fraud and implement REAL ID. In 2004 Congress passed and the president signed legislation to secure our nation’s vital identity documents and records, known as REAL ID. Without secure, verifiable documents, preventing immigration fraud is impossible. REAL ID is being thwarted by bureaucratic foot-dragging as some state agencies claim they will not be able to comply until 2018. It took seven years from the time President Kennedy committed this nation to putting a man on the moon to the accomplishment of that goal. It is simply unacceptable that it should take twice that long to implement a program that secures our vital documents.

Implement an electronic employment verification system. A secure, verifiable work authorization system was called for in the 1986 immigration law and reinforced by legislation in 1996. While Congress did not specify a precise verification system, they have already twice authorized that one be developed. If credit card companies, banks and countless other private enterprises can run millions of verifications every single day from anywhere on the planet, there is no technological reason why we cannot have a system in place that verifies the eligibility of a much small number of people who get hired on any given day.

Construct the border security fence. In October 2006, President Bush signed a bill authorizing the construction of some 700 miles of fencing along our southern border. So far 11 miles have been built and the new congressional leadership has indicated that they may not fund the rest. Security fences are effective as part of an overall strategy that also removes the incentive to enter the country illegally.

Fully fund the Border Patrol. The current authorization for Border Patrol officers is 18,000 by the end of FY 2008. Congress must appropriate the funds to fully staff this vital component of our homeland security effort.

Fully fund border security technology. Congress has committed to a variety of technology-based security measures. Lighting, sensors, night vision devises and the like would vastly enhance the capability of the Border Patrol officers to detect, locate and apprehend illegal entrants. In addition, a data base that includes biometric information on all people apprehended entering the country illegally would allow border security agencies to better identify the people they apprehend.

Increase interior enforcement. Finding, apprehending and removing illegal aliens who are already in the interior of the country is a critical component to reducing the illegal population. Congress has authorized 7,000 agents to be dedicated to interior immigration enforcement. Like any other type of lawbreaker, immigration law violators must be aware that there is a chance the law will be enforced.

Increase cooperation with local law enforcement. In 1996, Congress passed and President Clinton signed a law authorizing training for local police in the area of immigration law enforcement. Wide implementation of this program would exponentially increase the ability of federal immigration authorities to find and remove illegal aliens.

Fund increases in detention facilities. Congress and the Bush Administration have repeatedly stated their commitment to ending the catch-and-release program for illegal immigrants from distant countries. Illegal aliens, when apprehended, must be detained until their deportation proceedings are completed, and then removed promptly if a deportation order is issued.

Increase deportations. Nobody claims that 12 or 15 million illegal aliens can be deported, but deportation must be a component of a comprehensive enforcement strategy. Existing laws already authorize the government to deport aliens who are in the country without authorization.

Fully implement the entry/exit system. A sizeable percentage of illegal aliens in the U.S. did not illegally sneak across the border. They arrived on valid visas and overstayed. In order to know who has overstayed a visa, we must have some record of who has left the country. Congress has already established a requirement that data be collected on people who enter the country and then matched with data as people leave the country. Congress can and must exercise oversight to ensure this program is fully and rapidly implemented.

If we did that then I think they would commit more crimes than they already do.
