I personally believe they would be having less babies if there was an easier way to come and stay here. They are having those babies because its at least a small chance that they would be able to stay here.
Iram, whats wrong with more legal immigration? There arent too many people, there are too many unskilled people.
"Over the next 75 years, new legal immigrants entering the United States will
provide a net benefit of $611 billion in present value to America’s Social Security
system, according to official Social Security Administration data. Maintaining or
increasing current levels of legal immigration significantly aids the Social Security
system, while imposing an immigration moratorium or reducing legal immigration would
worsen the solvency of Social Security, harm taxpayers, and increase the size of the longrange
actuarial deficit of the Social Security trust fund, according to data and an analysis
from the Social Security Administration (SSA) Office of the Chief Actuary. All of the
results in this paper are based on official government data supplied by the Social
Security Administration. SSA provided an analysis on the impact of changes in levels of
legal immigration on the actuarial balance of Social Security and the National Foundation
for American Policy made additional calculations from the SSA data to produce figures
on revenue."

We already welcome over 2 million LEGAL immigrants every year. Mexicans should be banned from immigration because they have abused their welcome.

Its a good thing that people want to be Americans, but America has a lot of programs that help people who cannot help themselves. A lot of illegal immigrants come solely for that reason. |

No, we shouldn't /just/ do that. We should do it, certainly, the process needs to be much more efficient than it is now. But, we still have to be selective about who we allow in (we don't want habitual criminals who are fleeing justice in thier own country, for instance), and how many we allow in each year. And, we have to have serious enforcement, both in the interior, and at the border, to assure that whatever process we settle on will be used.
And, we have to have that enforcement /first/, or it doesn't matter what policy we adopt, it will, like the current one, simply be ignored. |

just goes to show you, this is such a great place to be, lots of people want in. unfortunately, they don't like rules. i don't really want it made easier for people to come in but when you think about it, it can't be worse than it is now. |

No. It already too easy. People can just walk across our borders. |

No... if we made it any easier then we'd have every one from other countries coming here for a better life along with the nut jobs. We need to make sure the AMERICAN people are taken care of before everyone else is...Let the American people have the job thats rightly theirs and not some illegal have it because he'll do it for 20 bucks less an hour. the US Has a lot of homeless people and people on welfare that could use jobs to get back on their feet. We need to make it harder for people coming into this country and harder for people who just sit on their *** and stay on welfare because they think they "deserve" it. |

the reason it's high as you think is because they have to hire more border agents to patrol. as long as illegals come in the price will go up. tell illegals to stop over staying their visas or coming in illegally and it might stop going up. |

I see being an American citizen as a privilidge. We should not make it easier for the criminal element to come across the borders to pursue their choice of criminal enterprise. We should possibly make it easier for people to receive work visas. If you have a work visa your taxed as well.
It is a good thing that people want to become Americans, however the problem is many of the illegal immigrants do not want to assimilate into our society and culture. They don't care to learn the history, laws or language. There in lies the problem and why we have "Little Havana", "China Town", and the mexican section of cities. |

No.....everyone that WANTS to come here shouldn't be able to get here EASILY. EVERYONE WANTS TO COME HERE!!!!!!!!!
Want to tilt the earths axis? We can't take everyone who wants to come here!
Not to mention alot that want to come here don't want to be American. Alot just want to take what we have. They could care less about America or being American....they want and just want to take.
As my daddy used to say.....want in one hand a poop in the other and see which one fills up faster.
Does an employer hire everyone that wants a job simply coz they show up? NO...They weed through it. If they went under that premise....no employer would ever let you know they needed a worker if they HAD to hire every person that showed up. |
|

Why r guys so hard 2 figure out?
|
No because then we will have less control on the criminals that also want to get into America as much as the good people do. America is not big enough to take everyone. Most of those liberal people do not understand that if we make it easier then we will be turned out of America by the majority. |

No. It should be very difficult to get into the U.S.
In 2005 we let in 3.5 Million!
That's like adding a city the size of Philadelphia every year.
We need to cut the numbers to more reasonable numbers like 50,000-100,000 per year. |

you have a point there
coming to america is difficult as heck
especially when you're trying to do it legally
i know, i have done it...partially
i am here on a student visa and i can tell you that getting here had to be one of the most stressful things i had ever done. you have the emassy officials wanting all your documents, your financial statements, your family connecitons, your leaving date and sneering at you all the time in an i'm-american-and-you're-not manner. then the border guards looking you over and over and over. then the INS and Homeland Security keeping three eyes on you the whole time you're here.
all the while you're thinking what about the illegals who don't contribute? What about them, when i'm contributting over twenty thousand dollars a year?
it should be easier, for those who want to help, harder for those who don't want to. we'll let the beaurocrats figure out how to do that. in the mean time, i'll go and file another INS/Homeland Security form detailing how much longer i'm going to be there, why and where i'll be for the next week.
I'm serious, except for the last INS/Homeland Security bit. |

Yes.Immmigration should also hire more personnel so they can process the applications in a timely manner instead of making people wait 3 years.They just recently tripled the fees for most applications,so this will not make it any easier for people to immigrate legally. |

Not when our schools are overcrowded and failing our own children and 'free health care' is drained to the point of closing hospitals across our country, no. |

No way we are already overloaded with people. There are way to many people taking out of the system and not enough people putting in. There are alot of other people besides the Mexicans that want US citizenship. They can wait their damn turn in line like everyone else. |

Just about everyone in this country ended up here through immigration, other than those whose relatives were forced to the US. It's too bad the natives weren't able to deny immigration to the pilgrims that came over hoping to avoid paying taxes. At this point immigrants should be welcomed, especially those coming from Mexico. Don't forget that Latinos are the result of immigrants from Spain raping the natives upon arrival. Many of those natives would have been in the U.S. and not in Mexico if they were not fleeing the acts of violence being perpetrated on them by the white settlers. Mexicans have as much if not more rights to be in the U.S. than the descendants of European oppressors. |

Obviously it's easier to jump the borders than it is to file the necessary paperwork...people have been doing it for years.. |

It is not all that difficult to come by the legal way. How much easier can we legally make it for someone? |

Yes, we should. Too bad. It's idiotic to think we have too many people in America or too many trying to get in. |
