What would you do with these illegals?

If they have lived here that long, pay taxes and stay out of trouble, I can't see just kicking them out. They are more American than Mexican. Nationality is a decision, color of skin at birth, God's decision. You said 20 years, so that is was I based my answer on, not someone who hopped the border a month ago and is looking for a silver platter.

"undocumented immigrants" N-O-T ! They are illegal aliens!!! a.k.a. Foreigners breaking our USA laws.

well, to me......illegal means illegal. therefore, after having thumbed their noses at our nation's laws, i would have no trouble deporting them.

Doesn't matter, they still came here illegally. When they start holding their rallies and wanting rights.....semi trucks should be called in and loaded with them and hauled away.

So, if someone holds up a gas station and forever after is a model citizen and his children are tops of their class, it is all right for them to hold up the gas station in the first place? What would happen to you if you went to Mexico (or Germany, or where ever) illegally? What is happening in France?
There should be amnesty in the situation you outlined, but the U.S. is now the third most populous country on earth. Shortages, water, food, everything, are just over the horizon. Another thing, if we do not enforce immigration laws, why bother? Let chaos take over.

Wheres your link? If they are supposed to be living here so genuinely,then why havent they became citizens? I think they have fooled you,they cannot pay taxes and not abuse the system if they are illegal,they are breaking the law,period!If they have paid taxes they must have stolen someones identity,or have feak papers,or maybe you would like to explain?

The key word is in your opening, illegal. I could care less if its 1 day, or 40 years, nor what country, nor what color. I could care less how many kids they have, nor how good they are. Illegal is illegal. And the fine as of right now is deportation, as always should be.

punish the employers and the problem is solved

Why, if they have lived here for 20 years, paid taxes, etc. haven't they applied for citizenship?

tttplttttt

I'd send them back.
I would send any American criminal to jail based on something they did 20 years ago because laws need to be upheld, otherwise lawlessness will flourish.

Illegal aliens should be deported, period.

Michael B

send them all back

Yes, punish the Mexican, they are the ones that planned and carried out 9/11 insidents. Stupids, MFs

This is a great question. It also makes me think of something else:

How fair is this new immigration policy put forth by the government? By fair I mean how fair is it that they will nearly grant amnesty (for a price) to 12 million illegals, while people like my grandparents had to go through the proper channels to become US citizens over 60 years ago.

What about all of those who have naturalized the RIGHT way? This new policy is kind of a slap in the face to those went about naturalizing the right way.

As for what do you do with all the illegals? Sadly, they are breaking the law, granted a lot of them are contributing and have children that are beneficial to the future of this country...but the fact remains, they are here illegally.

Our judicial system would be even more bogged down by trying to prosecute and deport every single one of them - so what do you do?

Great question.

EDIT: It is important for everyone to remember that illegal is not defined as "mexican". Granted a large number of illegals are Mexican, but there are still a lot of illegals that ARE NOT Mexican.

I would ask them why they couldn't do/be those things in their home country and ask how they felt about the fact that people spend money and time to do it legally.

Illegal is illegal. Deport!

Jeffery C

Deport them! They are still criminals! The longer they commit the crimes, doesn't lessen the offenses!

Deport them FIRST!

hera

If they broke the law, then send them back. They know if they have done so or not.

If a person killed someone else, they would still expect that person to pay their dues for their actions.

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

imback_missme

Hum,I wonder if our taxes are paying for their children to go to school?And Im sure if they filed taxes,they obviousley made less than an average AMERICAN,WHITCH MEANS THEY GET A RETURN?Duh,sherlock,The cost of illegals far outweighs the benifits they say they are giving .WHY,is it so hard for them to just become citizens?????????????????Lets see,wonder if you can figure that one out?????

wickedlooks

My my my and I thought only my coven was full of witches.I'm so thankful we don't have the same God as these psuedo holy rollers.And I'm the witch?Doesn't your God and Jesus say to feed and help the poor?Do you sleep well?I can see you don't.How much time does it take to be a top contributor on here?Think of the parks you could be cleaning in your extra time.How little time we have here and you choose to waste it.Sad little humans what if god was a mexican?You're screwed.See you in hell.

marksatguy

Give them a raise and a day off. I have worked w/many illegals, and if the supposed "patriots" worked as hard as the illegals and took care of their families as well as they do, there would be no reason for anyone to cross the border. There would be no jobs waiting

T-Bone35

Those should be the ones we keep! We can throw the others back! just like fishin!
