Should the government deport illegal immigrants?

nonof y

Of course. They committed a crime just by entering the country illegally, no country should allow that.

Allow me to rephrase your question. Should the Federal Government actually do it's Constitutionally mandated job and enforce the laws of this country? The answer is obviously yes.

Interesting question.

Kind of like asking should the Government enforce the law or should everyone be allowed to just do what they want and we can all live in a state of anarchy.

cobra

YES

Yes our government should treat illegal immigrants the same way that they would treat any other criminal.....

Did anyone forget that they are BREAKING THE LAW!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

mythmagicdragon

That would be called enforcement. That is one of the things we pay taxes for. Do you get a ticket when you are caught speeding?

Here are 338.3 billions reasons why our Federal government should deport illegal aliens. (Immigrants sounds to.... politically correct)

So how much is a billion dollars. Well... a one dollar bill is 6" long and we know the Earth's diameter is 7,926.41 miles and there are 5,280 feet in a mile and there are 12 inches in a foot and that means there are 63,360 inches in a mile so we can conclude that you would need we would need 126,720 one dollar bills to stretch one mile. That means we would need about 1,004,434,675 one dollar bills to circle the Earth.

With what we spend on illegal immigration a year, we could circle the Earth 338 times if we were to lay one dollar bills end to end.

Now this is even more interesting... you could build a wall between the US and Mexico using one dollar bills that would be 2,000 miles long and 5 feet tall with 338.3 billion dollars.

Just trying to put things into perspective because we kind of loose track on how much a billion is.

Compass

YES!

We should get buses and line them up at the Canadian border and start driving south stopping and picking up every illegal on the way until they reach the southern border.

Its about time we build the fence and if necessary put machine guns every fifty feet to stop this crazy invasion.

saharaaj

Micky

america cannot hold ALL of mexico.
and just make them pay taxes. if they are going to come to america to be americans than make them act like americans and pay taxes. thats all i ask.

Bearpaw, your facts and figures are bogus.

All of the sources for the purported "study" comprise links to conservative organizations or immigration critics. For example, the figure supposedly showing that "$11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year" comes from FAIR, which has faced bipartisan accusations of airing "racially inflammatory" anti-immigration ads with another group, the Coalition for the Future of the American Worker. The 2004 CIS study on the public cost of illegal immigration yielded two of the figures.

Many of the figures -- including the claim that "30 percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens" -- came from transcripts of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, hosted by immigration critic Lou Dobbs. Colorado Media Matters has noted Dobbs' refusal to correct the debunked claim that the United States had experienced "7,000 cases of leprosy" in three years recently due to illegal immigration.

According to the transcript of Dobbs' April 1 show, which the email links to, CNN correspondent Christine Romans stated:

At the same time, America's criminal justice system is bulging with these citizens of other countries. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, 30 percent of federal prisoners are not U.S. citizens. At a cost of $63 a day, taxpayers spend more than $3 million every day to house non-U.S. citizen dollars in our federal prisons. Most are thought to be illegal aliens.

Contrary to the email's claim, which Boyles repeated, Romans did not state that 30 percent of federal prisoners are illegal aliens, but rather that 30 percent are "not U.S. citizens." Her claim that "[m]ost are thought to be illegal aliens" is unsubstantiated and her "30 percent" claim is contradicted by data from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The bureau's latest inmate population report stated that as of May 26, 2007, 73.5 percent of federal prisoners are U.S. citizens and 20.8 percent are noncitizens -- not just illegal immigrants -- from Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, while the citizenship status of 5.7 percent of the federal prison population is recorded as "Other/Unknown."

darren

of course they shouldnt,we live in a global village now.anyone can live where they want to.right on.

No. The government should take away the financial benefits to businesses for hiring them. Stop ALL government services to them. Prosecute those whom knowing hire them. Place a system to check legality of employment and enforce the laws already on the books.
The deportment issue would them evaporate and the illegal immigrants would leave on their own.
Look at Oklahoma, since passing similar measures they have had a mass exodus of illegals out of the state. Do in on a national level and watch the direction they are heading in at the border.

Of course they shouldn't. This type of action only proves how sick one can be when everyone on this Earth today is Immigrants of some type. GOD didn't place no Man, Woman, Boy nor Girl on this Earth to hurt thy Fellow Man, But to be that other hand. And this is something that the Latinos not just the Mexicans have been for this Country for more years than anyone can remember. I've never seen anything as sad as this in all my days. And I know we have some Church going people on Yahoo that is speaking very ill of the Latinos and going to put on their Sunday best and step foot in the House of GOD come Sunday morning, It's just not right. I even had one lady ask the question "Why Should The Money I Put In Church Have To Pay For The Latinos Being Here", Because that is your Sister, Because that is your Brother. I mean my GOD I've heard of people disrespecting the Law but disrespecting GOD? What!!, What is going on with the Latino Nation that Scares y'all so much. Your hearts know that you're not being fare towards them and you all knows it to. How can anyone in their right mind call a Human Being "Illegal" then going to go and Download "Illegal" Applications and etc, Speed down the Highway, DUI and all the other things they do. This reminds me of the time this Color Man call the Police on me "Only" for riding my Bike through the parking lot of this Bank to get to the other street. This same Man son was killed by Officers from the same Department that he called on me. This is something that should make you think before calling someone Illegal or calling Immigrations on them to have them Deported especially knowing in your heart that you yourself is an Immigrant too, Knowing in your heart that you is Illegal too. Open your eyes people and see how your very own Government is laughing so very hard at you as we speak talking ill against the Latinos when it was them whom brought them here in the first place. And when will this World learn to say I and My and Me and stop saying We don't want this and We don't want that? When you are doing something against the GOD that I serve never use the words We, Ours and Us because you will be getting people involved that don't want to be, That's trying to live life by the Laws of GOD more so than those "Cold Hearted Laws" made by Man. If anyone make it across any Border then clearly GOD has agreed to it so why should a Government someone that's no more than a foot stool to GOD Deport something they didn't Create let alone have no power over what so ever. Not Latinos nor anyone else for that matter should have to pay the price for the American Government's wrong doings. I'm against Deports of "All Types", But if anyone should be Deported from any Country it's the people like: Haters, Gangs, Klans, Racist. With people like this in America and no one is saying anything about it but yet going to down someone for wanting a better life, Another view, Better Schools and Future and Goals in life? Give me a break, Don't even bring "Laws" to this stuff that we should not even be talking about right about now because this Country have done so much dirt "Alone" that it don't have much of a choice but to grant Amnesty to all the Latinos no matter how many it is to pay for all the dirt they did. And not just to those from other Countries but Americans as well. You only have 2 choices you can get in line and help make this World a better place for "All Man Kind" or you can keep having the Government laugh in your face while you are speaking ill of the Latinos and calling them names FACT. Author, Eddie Smith.

Not all of them because that's impossible and unrealistic, but those who are not behaving good. The ones who are working hard and have a decent life they can stay.
