Actually enforcing the laws that are in place and also inacting laws that fine employers 10k per illegal that they hire. and a 10k per illegal that a landlord give housing to.
If there is sich a stiff fine for employing and housing illegals it will not be worth the risk and according to the pro illegals they are only here to work so if there is no work there is no reason to come here.
To the guy who said accept they are here and a vital part of the country. Should we also accept that petty theifs are here and they provide vital economic value when they resell their goods to people who cant buy them at retail price? You dont just accept criminal adtivity becuase there is a lot of it going on.
YES we should stop it that is why we have laws against it. We should stop our politicians who are pandering to the votes of the people who support this. I wish we could just clean house in the goverment and get rid of them all.
If there is a problem not filling the jobs when the illegals are no longer here then get the people on welfare to do the work if they are fit to work and if that doesnt fill the workers then we bring in inmate labor and the farmers or who ever would pay the state prision minimum wage for each inmate working and that money would offset the cost of housing the inmate reducing the burden on the tacpayer to house them for sitting around doing nothing and the welfare person will be working for their pay |

They should be considered terrorist and shot on sight, if they try to enter illegally. |

tattoo "illegal immigrant" on their foreheads, that way they'll be easy to identify the next time...not very humane or American but i guarantee it'll work |

Close the borders with a fence and stronger security, and punish the employer (severely) for hiring illegals |

Attrition and enforcement and yes...we HAVE to stop it. There is a reason why no country in the world has open borders. It's insanity. |

We should allow our Minute Men to shoot anyone walking across the border. I think for all the illegals who are already here, we should just have our Minute Men attend all those protests that the illegals have and just throw a few grenades into the crowd. |

the only way to stop illegal immigration is to stop HIRING them!!!!!
they are here because U.S. corporations and the U.S. consumer benefit from their cheap labor!!!!
and since it is not in our country's best interest to stop it.... we will continue to talk about building fences and how brown people are "polluting" America while nothing gets done!!!! |

eliminate the desire to come here with a multi prong approach
1: you stop those from hireing illegals with huge fines designed to cripple their buisness and jail time reguardless
2: we enforce laws allready in existance arrest illegals where ever they are,
build a strong fence
arrest and detain any caught on us soil. make their time
in coustdody miserable ,isloation,chained restraints,non citizen no rights untill their nation vouches for them ,at which time they are delivered deep into their nation and a bill submitted for the expense to that nation
3: stop services to illegals ,no school ,no medical unless life /death.
no financial aid, no food stamps, no bilingual services
it is way too desireable for an illegal to come here if we make only legal immigrants welcome and not illegals then the tide will turn we will win through attrition |

Stop the entitlement program.
IF---USA refused to pay for illegals health care and just deported them, that would be a good start!
Then, let USA forbid illegals or any other NON-Citizens access to welfare, food stamps, wic, section 8 housing and all the other benefits American poor Citizens get.
If America put it's Citizens first and stopped rewarding illegals as if they were entitled to free education, health care and food, America could use that money to deport them daily. As it is, illegals' rights are more protected than any American and there is no incentive for them to leave OR learn English.
After that, prosecute ALL businesses who hire illegals. Not just fines, but actual jail time.
Eventually the insecure border would be manageable to protect.
It's about PATRIOTISM, not racism. American lawmakers need to look out for it's own Citizens, instead of NON-Citizens. American Lawmakers favor Spanish Speaking people of the world. This needs to stop!
I don't want to press anything to hear English! |

heavy jail time AND high monetary penalties for employers who hire the illegals. |

punish the illegals so they'd learn their lesson! (or at least some of them will!) |

Bring our troops home from where ever they are stationed and reposition them at 15 foot intervals along the border.
Instruct them to shoot first and ask questions later. |

2 ways to stop something illegal.
1. make it legal.
2. enforce the law better.
In many cases #1 would involve less suffering, less voilence, and less termoil, but it does not look as cool on the evening news. |

Best way to stop illegal immigration? By allowing our law enforcement agencies to enforce the laws and deport individuals that are here illegally. And this is ALL law enforcement agents - police, federal law enforcement, and border agents. All should be able to enforce our laws.
Education is another way to stop illegal immigration, but I can see that education is something that escapes you. |

First off, I'd have to agree with other people above:
1) Enforce the laws already on the books.
2) Punish people who hire illegal aliens…this would destroy their incentive to come.
Secondly, I don't hate Latinos, so don’t even go there. But the FACT is that they are breaking the law...and just as importantly, don’t care. How fair is it to all the other people of the world (who also want freedom and opportunities) who come here and go through the citizenship process legally? Not fair at all.
Also, to become a citizen, you are required to pass a certain level of competency about how our government works and its history. These illegal aliens (by the way, many of them are Asians) have no incentive to be a functioning part of our government process. People, this is no trivial matter. I personally don’t want our culture to decay. Think about third world countries, who wants to live like that? Does anyone actually believe we can stand as a nation with no patriots?
Another point: I don’t want illegal immigrants to be oppressed or persecuted. I simply want them to be LEGAL (and not via amnesty!) It is not right for most citizens to pay taxes for schools and hospitals etc. while Illegal Aliens live here getting a relatively free ride. (O.K, I understand that they pay tax when they buy something – duh.) The fact is they live in an underground economy and thus don’t pay their fair share taxes for goods and services which our government provides.
Lastly, I don’t like the fact that most of them don’t have a driver’s license – not to mention insurance – and so when they smack into your car on the freeway they simply scoot, leaving you to bleed and pay for the damage. It has happened to my family and friends several times. (O.K, I can’t prove that they were illegal, but use common sense. If it were a legally licensed driver with insurance, most likely he would stick around – wouldn’t you?)
To summarize:
1) If someone came here by breaking the law, and lives outside the law, why should/would he obey any other laws?
2) Why should other peoples of the world -- equally or even more persecuted -- give these people “cuts” in the line for citizenship, when they are waiting for years?
3) Why should working legal citizens have to bear the brunt of the expenses of hospitals, schools and social services?
4) Why do I even have to argue these obvious arguments? |

Secure the borders, catch the human traficants, enforce labors laws, eliminate property taxes and install a whole 9.5 tax to all US, keep our $$$ here, search ways to spread the message about the importantce of come here legal etc... |

Your 1st step in stopping it would be by learning to spell the word correctly. It is spelt "ILLEGAL"... not "illigal"
now carry on! |

stop giving us jobs, the employers wants to save some money for jobs that would have to pay more money, and illegals are willing to make it for as little as they want to pay us, so they give those jobs to us... its simple, we dont follow the laws, because your government is the first to brake them... |

There never is going to be a way to "truly" stop illegal immigration. The only thing that America can do is to become more stern about enforcing the rules and stop allowing cities to become "safe-houses" by allowing illegals sanctuary in thier city limits. All imigrants who are illegal should however be given the oppurtunity to become a citizen. They should have to also hold down a job and pay taxes, like any other citizen. Such as tax anone who is on a workers visa. |

He just legalize it and that way they can come and go as they please and spounge off of the rest of us,get free housing,medical and bank accounts. |

The reason we have illegal immigration is we have jobs that people can't or won't fill. Many of these jobs go begging because there's no health insurance and people can't do without health insurance these days.
Once we get health care for ALL Americans, those jobs will get filled by Americans who couldn't afford to work them before. Many people who are sitting on disability because that's the only way they can get health care now will return to work.
It is not a case of we don't have people who will work those jobs, but we don't have people who can AFFORD to take those jobs. |

Change the law so that any anyone caught using illegal workers will lose their business and spend 10 years in jail.
Betcha the illegal immigration stops in a big hurry. If they didn't have jobs waiting for them, they wouldn't come here.
In addition we have to make it cheaper and easier for Mexican laborers to gain legal status. So, we need to reduce the filing fees, and devote more personnel to working on those forms |

This would not have been an issue if we would have taken all of Mexico instead of just the northern piece of it during the Spanish American war.
You can't stop illegal period. We should look at expanding our definition of migrant worker/create a legal status for them/tie them into the income tax system.
The difficulty is that they are willing to work for slave wages and forego their rights as employees. It is like they are volunteering for indentured servitude. How do you keep a capitalist from taking advantage of that kind of human resource? |

make it legal stop this shell game of fences and other unworkable solutions and accept this is nation of immigrants and they are vital part of economy. Current system only benefits the criminals who smuggle people and the criminals who employ them inhumanely in field slaughter houses and elsewhere |

There should be no such thing as illegal immigration. You come here, you're a citizen. I think even Bushie said once (he says one thing and then another so often it's hard to keep track!) that the US should not have borders. Every American should speak at least three languages (Spanish being the most important) by the end of sixth grade. No exceptions. When new Americans come here. They should be greeted in their own language. There should be no national language of America just like there should be no national religion of America.
