Illegal immigrants/immigrants (opinionated and fact)?

Do you think America should have a strict policy on illegal immigration/immigrants in general during a time of crisis?
I have a debate coming up, and I do think it.
But can you help me get more reasons so the negatives don't slam me?

Speaking strictly from a debate standpoint...
Reasons for harsher policy:
1. National security
2. Drug trafficking
3. Immigrants taking away jobs from legal citizens
4. Immigrants causing a burden on our already troubled healthcare system
5. Immigrants taking places in our overcrowded jails.
6. Children of immigrants not speaking English and causing issues at schools (requiring more special care or teaching)
7. Social security fraud (using someone else's number to obtain benefits.)

Hope these helped!

Yes. There are many problems with allowing our borders to be over run by illegal immigrants: 1) the estimated cost to Ca tax payers alone is 9 Billion a year, 2) With the borders being opened there is no screening of the people that enter the country meaning that we could, and most likely do, have terrorist entering the country. 3) Illegal immigration drives down the wages in many businesses. The services, agriculture, and construction fields (largely filled by illegals) lag behind other fields in pay increases. 4) Most of the people who come here illegally do not have very good educations. This sets up a cycle of people who are not able to succeed financially and as we all know the poor usually remain poor if they are uneducated. The social and economic status is normally continued by the kids and grand-kids of the first generation immigrant. 5) Because of the inability of illegal immigrants to earn a living wage many turn to crime. This is why the illegal immigrant population in our prisons is disproportionate to their population outside the prison.

There is no good reason to allow illegal immigration.

Our traitorous government continues to import about 164,000 immigrants per month, even right now, during the highest unemployment in a quarter century, even during this financial crisis. This is PER MONTH, not per year. Immigration Watch groups have pleaded with our senators and even Obama, but there has been no response nor reason given for continuing this policy. Big Business keeps asking for more H-1B visas for "special talent" while laying off equally talented Americans and filling their spots with lesser qualified (but CHEAPER) immigrant labor. This is all done lawfully. The greed of this country that our so-called representatives allow will be the cause of implosion and the main reason the U.S. goes under. They don't care about Americans, they care about staying in office and maintaining their out-of-proportion wealth and power. We the People have been sold out.

Spain does on both the illegals and legals in their country. They are paying legal immigrants to go home during the downturn. With a "promise" that they have jobs to come back to when the economy picks up again.

Illegals are just being deported for not coming legally.

Yes - but I think they need to start with FINING the people who are hiring them.

It's never going to stop if they don't cut off the cheap labor that brings them over here.

Remember why McCain was laughed out of the water when he asked "who wants to pick lettuce for $11.00 an hour all summer, I'll pay you?" ... Because he is clueless on illegal immigration.

Janet Napalatino will do an excellent job!

We should always have a strict policy on illegal immigrants.

Well laws were put in place for a reason. Obviously were not benefiting as much from illegal immigration than we are from legal immigration so we have laws against it. If illegal immigration was actually helpful then we wouldn't have laws against it now would we?


The Who
Well the constitution was made for everyone. Everyone has the right of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness if they are living here in the U.S.

There should ALWAYS be a strict policy against illegal immigration. HOWEVER, that policy should be every bit as harsh on the scumbags that hire illegals for less then minimum wage to save money. For illegal immigration to even exist, it must be enabled. Someone has to hire them and pay them or they wouldn't bother to be here. That would drive wages up by cutting the labor pool somewhat. But, the jobs that illegals vacated wouldn't have high enough wages for your average American to support themselves on.
A simple fine just isn't enough punishment.
However, how would you feel if you met and married someone from another country and were told "Sorry, they can't immigrate after all. Sure, you payed thousands to get them here, you've waited for months to see your spouse, but, too bad, the economy went down the crapper thus your spouse can no longer immigrate." Yeah, that would be unnecessarily cruel don't you think?

well i am an immigrant from mexico and because US citizen...i think the only real issue is that immigrants cant identify them selfs...its easy to commit fraud if you dont have any id...or you buy a fake one...they should let illegal to recive identification beause by letting them you can find them and track them just like they do to the legals....what harm does a ID do...."oh no now they can get a bank account"or..oh no now they can buy liquer...

Funny how they answer yor question.
Immigrants are what have made this country what
it is. If it wernt for them who would go out and do the jobs they do. And as far as taking jobs from citizens What? come on how many white people,or blacks do you c out there doing the jobs they do. I agree they need to come into this country legally. be of good character . But to just say no to them thast a little nonsense huh. People should look into their family tree and i bet you will find atleast one person who was a immigrant at one time.
