Answer 1

For one thing Mexico could guard their northern border with the same iron fist they do with their southern border. Mexico could take steps to have a fairer taxation system, and use that money to provide education and health care to their citizens. Then we in American could demand that first time crosses get 6 months in jail, that a 1957 law requires, not after they are caught 7 times in Texas, and 15 times in Arizona, I think after we stop the illegal crossing, we should have a guest worker program, but the business that want these worker would have to provide health care for the workers. The workers could bring their families, but they would have to pay or their business would have to pay to educated their foreign born children. Once you have the business pay for their workers, all of a sudden they are not so cheap, so then they would either hire Americans at a higher salary, or as I think, agriculture would automate their fields. All business would be required to do the same, whether in agricultures or not.

Answer 2

Two reasons
1. Approximately 38 million illegal aliens currently in the US with about 4,000 per day additional coming over the border. This is a huge drain on our resources costing tax payers billions of dollars each year.

2. Huge National Security Risk. We can not be sure that terrorist hell bent on killing Americans and destroying America will not enter the country through the southern border. Ranchers on the border have found Islamic papers and prayer rugs among the trash and debris left by illegals sneaking into the country. If tons of drugs can be smuggled into the country by the Mexican drug cartels how far a stretch is it to think a weapon of mass destruction or chemical or biological weapon could be smuggled into the country.

How many more reasons do you need to have a major national discussion on this issue. If you need more I can give them to you.
Solution:
Secure the border immediately with sufficient boots on the ground to remain there until the fence is built. Stop all handouts and actively pursue those hiring illegals and prosecute them when found and have stiff penalties for hiring illegals. Enforce current immigration law. End Sanctuary Cities. Set caps on the number of legal immigrants coming to the United States.

It is not impossible to do these things it is just getting government off its ever widening **** to do it. The American People are going to have to get a lot louder because I don't think they can hear us very well. But they are starting to.

Answer 3

Ummm......I know the grapevine can be slow....but where have you been for the last few decades? I mean are people so self-absorbed they don't see outside their front door? I am serious.....I'm not joking? Where have you been?

The Mexican border is a major hole in the boat....we are sinking and need to plug the hole....reason, logic, laws, don't work...so you are forced to do drastic things for those who respect nothing.....the fence is the first move. Better than shoot to kill.

Answer....abide by the law...realize NO might your answer and deal with it. You can't always get what you want. Even in America. This isn't the promise land....everyone that want's to come here can't.....we can't handle everyone....more and more law breaking isn't the answer. Amnesty isn't the answer....we did that already. The fence is the most peaceful method to send a message. Personally......considering the fact many can't take a hint...maybe it will be 1000's shot on sight for some to realize the answer is NO.

Why would a country NEED to build a fence if people respected the rule of law? Why would I need to install an alarm system if a locked door was enough? Used to be just a closed door worked.....didn't need to lock it. Now people fence, lock doors, install alarm systems, put up signs, train guard dogs, install video cameras and are still forced to sleep with a gun by their bed. If the peaceful ways worked....we wouldn't be forced to play hard ball. If it all boils down to blowing someones heads off.....why bother with the expensive niceities? Or it could simply be stopped by respect for the law. Respect doesn't mean agreeing with....just like forgiveness doesn't make a crime OK. It's gotten to the extreem. I for one don't want to be forced to those extreems........just don't come whining to me when I'm pushed to that point.

Mexico doesn't want the fence.....abide by the law. Simple. Help us enforce those borders because it's not just Mexican illegals crossing there. All illegal immigrants aren't "GOOD" people......so stop marching when we're trying to weed out the worst! If you aren't part of the solution....you are part of the problem....push people too far and sometimes it is worth throwing the baby out with the bath water. Right now....I want them ALL gone. There isn't 1 cell in my body wanting ANY compassion or understanding for ANY of them. They pushed and demanded too much. Sometimes you have to know when to quit or retreat. They don't.....when you push with no compromise....you get pushed back...with NO compromise.

Answer 4

Mexico doesn't want it, the money sent to them from our country is one of their major incomes. And they might have to deal with their own peasants! The need to build the fence is paramount, it's a loud statement that we want no more of the illegals in our country. It would be nice if we didn't have to get violent but we may have to. If you can't obey our laws and respect our nation and it's people, stay the he*l out! That's the bottom line!

Answer 5

Congress has already approved the bill the build the fence. The discussion is because it is not being built fast enough. The solution is to enforce the immigration laws already on the books instead of subsidizing employers who want cheap labor but pass the costs on to taxpayers.

Answer 6

There is a major discussion because the border is a major problem.

Possible solutions all involve attrition and deportation. Make life as miserable as we possibly can under the law for both illegal aliens and those who aid and abet them and most will deport themselves. If we have to, we can write new laws to make things even MORE miserable for them, such as stopping their access to the public school system and imprisoning those who are caught here illegally. Build more prisons if necessary. Then, our government needs to physically deport those who are left and those who are located in the meantime.

Answer 7

Illegal aliens will continue to come here as long as there are corrupt employers eager to hire them.

Making it impossible for an "undocumented" worker to find a job is the only permanent solution; this will require much, much more severe penalties for employers who hire illegals.

I would propose a minimum of $15,000 per worker per day, with jail time for employers who receive fines over $150,000, or who have more than 10 illegal workers in a calendar year. Subsequent convictions for hiring illegals should result in many more years in jail, for those employers who don't "get it."

Of course, this will create opportunities for counterfeiting identification documents, but technology already exists that would incorporate biometric information into a "smart" identification card. Considering how this could benefit national security and prevent numerous "identity theft" and credit card crimes, it's truly amazing it hasn't already been implemented.

Answer 8

Because there are 20 to 38 million illegal aliens in the USA, most of whom entered through our southern border. Most of them are Mexicans who blieve that the southwestern US states belong to them. They plan to take back those states through colonization, and they are well on their way to succeeding with the help of liberals, La Raza, and the Chamber of Commerce. Mexicans call the plan, La Reconquista.

It is relatively easy and cheap to get rid of the illegals by following a policy called Attrition through Enforcement. http://www.numbersusa.com/interests/attr...

“President Bush and the rest of the open borders crowd constantly tell the American people that there are only two solutions to our nation's illegal alien crisis – give illegal aliens amnesty or round them up and deport them. This is a diversionary tactic to draw public attention away from the most effective and efficient solution – Attrition Through Enforcement.”

Stop them from working, stop the benefits that the states give to the illegals, stop giving citizenship to the children of illegal aliens, end sanctuary policies, and the illegals will self-deport. Unemployed Americans, prison labor, and legal immigrants can quickly replace the illegal aliens in the work force. Businesses that cater to illegal aliens will close, and workers in those businesses will be available for employment in other jobs.
