I understand the mods apparently moved this, but I was hoping for it to remain on the P&OC forum to get a larger number of votes from a less one-sided group (those on the Illegal Immigration forum tend to be overwhelmingly anti-illegal).

Even that suggestion is generous and compassionate to a fault.

The term "illegal" means something. That means laws, our laws, are being violated. If they are illegal, whether Somalis, Australians, British, Saudi Arabian, Mexican, Panamanian, Canadian, Irish, they HAVE to go. It's that simple....................NO AMNESTY to not one of them.

When you factor in the enormous contribution of illegal aliens to our: collapsed housing market, tanking economy, massive unemployment rates, the cost of incarceration, deportation, hiring more border patrol, the presence of mexican drug cartels, their over zealous birthrates, welfare, education, hospital closings and various other social services drains, all of which is being acknowledged by the governments of various states, slowly but surely, the idiots in Washington are starting to get it.

Well stated and ITA.

They are taking jobs away from LEGAL Americans and with 6 MILLION+ out of work that is insulting to even be talking about giving Amnesty to anyone!
Even bringing in people for the worker program is insulting! How about them putting their efforts towards the American citizen I'd bet many would take the job.

They need to be deported without exception.
-- although it does need to be said that while most illegals are from mexico, not all are.

Trust me:

I am extremely prejudiced against illegal aliens----------irrespective of their actual race/ethnicity.
YES, they are breaking the law 1st of all and second they are taking jobs, using the welfare system, getting free medical when Legal Americans go without!
Illegals cost this country Billions every year.
Topped with all the money they steal from Legal Americans and send home mostly back to Mexico so we also loose that money in our economy which we all know would have helped our country! Because it is to the tune of millions

Would YOU still be questioning his motives if his name didn't have an O at the end of it?
