Everyone keeps talking about illegal immigration. When is someone gonna step up and do something?

Seven Simple Steps...

Our government is misleading and lying to us. The reality is that illegal immigration could be simply stopped for little money. We simply need to remove all incentives for them to come here illegally and they will self-deport.

1. Remove all social programs to illegals. No medical (except in emergencies to ship them home), no welfare, no food stamps, no anything.
2. Stop the anchor baby laws.
3. Fine or jail employers who do not register and pay taxes on all employees. This includes day laborers.
4. No more schooling for illegals. It costs about $10,000 per kid per year. Why are we paying for their education?
5. Tell all illegals that they can either leave peacefully or they will be removed. Those that are caught here after the grace period will face deportation and will NEVER be allowed into this country again for any reason.
6. Make all illegals caught here work on the border fence before they are deported.
7. Make English THE language for this country. No more printing every government form in multiple languages. No translators paid by the government. No requirement that the police be able to speak spanish.

The money we would save in taxes from the costs these people place on us will easily pay for any increases in the price of a head of lettuce.

Timing Is Of The ESSENCE

Hmmmm, well, many cities and towns are passing laws, then there are of course the minutemen and other similar groups. The house of Representatives seems to want to do something. there is stuff happening. It just takes time to organize such a massive under-taking.

Common Sense

I wish they would..
What can I do but wish & vote ?

Bush just signed some papers opening up our borders. Neo-Cons say Bush sold out America. They claim that this will help terrorist's. And if you think illegal immigration is bad now, wait until the borders are officially opened by Bush.

But don't take my word for it. Click on this REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE magazine article that proves it. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=14965

Beejee

Excellent question.

The answer must be something like when the pot boils over. Legal citizens of all stripes will have to come to the realization that our country is headed for Third World status if the flood of aliens (Once known as 'outlaws') across our borders remains unplugged.

last time I stepped up to a person, I got my asss kicked.

Not until after the election. The House IS doing something, though. They are fillibustering the Senate Bill with hearings, and more power to them, say I.

First step is, communicate with your representation, well the people that claim to be your representation, at any rate. Voice your displeasure with the way that immigration is being handled, do so clearly, civilly, politely, professionally etc.

Then, see what your city council has to say about it. Typically they're really bright people, have a lot of good ideas, if you get a chance to talk, speak up and express your views.

You can do other things, call in to radio shows, write your local paper, and if you're feeling really motivated, then check out what citizen's groups are doing. The Minutemen feature in the immigration debate, and a lot of what they do is speak and try and raise public awareness about the problem, they also have volunteers that go out on the border itself to watch for illegal migration across our border with Mexico, if you're feeling really really really motivated, and you think you'd like to do the job, you could even apply with the U.S. Border Patrol.

But, it starts with writing, like what you see here. There's a lot of good ideas in this forum alone on how the problem should be handled, starting with basic enforcement concepts, building the border fence out completely, enhancing the US Border Patrol,
same for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service,
getting local ordinances passed in your city and state laws too expressly prohibiting the hiring or harboring etc. of illegal aliens,
denial of access to free benefits etc., that's all the kind of thing that has to be put down on paper and passed into law. Then, those laws have to be enforced. So, support your local police department, too, because they have to deal with all of this first-hand.

It's all a matter, though, of seeing the laws enforced as they largely stand on the books today. If you read that any of your state legislators etc. are taking positions in opposition to that law, be sure to write them, and express your discontent. Vox Populi still has the capacity to get these guys n gals to listen, so use yours freely and express the urgency and necessity of having immigration laws properly enforced. The more they hear from the public on this, the more they'll be inclined to do about it. Write today, let em know how you feel about it.

Okay, you know what? You're right! I volunteer to step up and do something about it right now!

ALL YOU ILLEGAL ALIENS LISTEN UP! GO BACK HOME NOW! RIGHT NOW! COME ON, DON'T DAWDLE.. HEY YOU! I'M TALKING TO YOU TOO! GET A MOVE ON!!!

Hope that helps.

It will happen. I do not think we are to far off right now. If I witnessed any act against an illegal I sure as hell would not report it.

Mr Toooo Sexy

Unless civil war breaks out all we can do is make ourselves heard and write to our leaders.Otherwise we risk jail time which isnt fun or useful.

Sabrina

Well what would you like us to do?

trutbknown

Remember if you speak the truth these days youâ€™ll probably be branded a racist!

Do What? There are two sides to hear some people the illegals should be allowed to stay they are only taking jobs no one wants to do Then there are the others who say Enough is Enough no more waving another countrys' flag while demanding rights to stay while the government systems are being run dry But when was the last war fought on USA soil? Well that should tell you that nothing from the American people will ever be done (the government has us working too hard everyday to pay taxes and put higher and higher fuel prices in our autos)

Why is everyone talking about illegal immigration when we have much larger issues?

Oh and what Americans you know going to work for minimum wage picking oranges all day long?

Jordan

Bro, the goverment cant deport 20 million people, where will they get that money from ?? you gon give it to them ?? dreams are dreams, and reality is reality, so get back to reality. those people are already here, what they should do is improve border and ports of entry security.

mizzzzthang

Absolutely...........We all talk the talk, but as Americans are too lazy and selfish (myself included) to walk the walk............

paladin

I never talk about it. Who are the dorks who do ?

Kristi A

I dont know but according to Mind of Mencia the next president is going to be an illegal alien., lol

mason

Sounds like you`re a little jealous brother. You better get off the couch and do something your self before they get your stamps & checks. Or are you worried they`ll send you back to Africa if you do? It looks to me like you`re one of the "everyone" talking about it STEP-UP!

hipichick777

I still dont get this. Your ancestors were brought here. My ancestors immigrated here. Did you forget what the statue of liberty says on her plaque. We are a melting pot here and I am so tired of people not being understanding that others want to leave their war torn or poor countries to come here. If I was born anywhere else, I would get to America as fast as I could.

Love America

camon you believe is a real situation here, is a hobby

bwitchdoctor

didn't you hear about the minute men?

I have medicine for them, they need to see my shaman tricks!
