Your position on illegal immigration?

itskatyo

Yes it is due to me living in Southern California.

I'm 18 now. And any politician who wanted to seriously fight it is getting my vote.

Enough is enough.

Don't try and tell me that you're making a better life when you're children are breaders. They're popping out babies left and right starting at age 15, only to eat the heck out of our welfare systems. And to take advantage of the fact that we, as americans, respect everyone.

You say that America is so awesome and you want your relatives to come. That we're giving you chances you would have never had. That you respect it. And then turn around and wave your country's flag on your day of protest? Eff that! If you love it so much, GO back!

Woooo, I'm glad you asked.

1) CLOSE THE BORDERS - Move Military bases to border states right on the border. Like Ft. Rooker in Enterprise, AL. It is the helicopter training base for the Army. What better place to train with a copter where the climate and conditions are like where most of our troubles have been. Build barricades of all kinds to stop vehicle and foot traffic. Use every technological device known to man to deter illegal crossings.

2) ALL ILLEGALS MUST register within a 90 day period. After 90 days if they are caught - immediate deportation. Registration is as follows, photoed, finger printed, palm printed, Retina printed, DNA profiled. All registered illegals MUST be employed and have a permanent residence.

3) Registered illegals are given a 2 year work visa and do 2 things during this 2 year period, learn to speak and write fluent English and register to become a legal citizen. If anyone commits a violent crime they will be immediately deported.

4) At the end of the 2 year period or near the end all registered illegals must return to country of origin for at least one day. The following day they will be allowed back on their application for legal status. They must go through the usual legalization process as everyone else. If they commit a violent crime before completing the process - immediate deportation.

Yes, it is a serious issue to me and it should be a serious to everyone. I would strongly support a politician who has Americas best interest at heart.

free_eagle716

Yes and yes........ its perhaps the single most important issue before us today and I will only support those candidates that plan on fixing this problem. Tancredo and Paul are very high on my list of potential presidential candidates.

hmmmmm.

Not to mention TB, Chickenpox, Hep A, list goes on. There has to be some sort of control on this. Tougher laws. Maybe we should have the Mexico government start paying.
There are jobs in Mexico. More then here in MIchigan.

I will only vote for someone strongly against illegal immigration. I really believe we need action NOW and I don't mean the nonsense they are calling 'comprehensive immigration' which would permanently INCREASE the flow going forward.

lefty

the only politician I would support will fight illegal immigration tooth and nail.
But since none of them will because their affraid it will cost them votes, I think I'll vote for none of the above.

Stained Soul

It is very serious to me. Yes, I would support a politician interested in stopping the invasion of our country.

How_Would_I_Know

Yes, it is one of the two most important issues our country is facing ( the other being our horrible trade policies ). Immigration is going to drag this country down to 3rd world status.

Illegal immigrants are nothing but criminals, period. I would very much support a candidate who would help eradicate the criminals.

True Red White & Blue

Yes I would. I would love to see any politician that would do his job and enforce the laws that we have in place, the president needs to be kicked out of office because he is not doing just that, he swore by oath that he would uphold the laws of our great country, all he has done is give our country away to a third world country by doing nothing about it!

lakay

that's what i'm looking for in next election for sure!!!! i think employers who hire them should be jailed and lose their businesses, first time illegals caught throw them back, second time execute them!!

puddog57

I feel that the laws on immigration that are already on the book are not being enforced at all and if they were then there would be no problem, We definitely should go ahead and build the fence alone our borders with Mexico because of the drug traffic and the easy ways there are for Terrorists to enter our country, we need this done right away without any further delay by debating it.

danielseti

Yes, but I have met many illegal aliens that are incredible people whom I love and it hurts to even talk about the issue. However, it is my belief that it is in the best interest of both the United States and illegals to make it illegal. Many illegals are grossly taken advantage of here in the states and our public service systems can not handle the population. Especially education as it is extremely horrible in California. by the way, I'd never send my child to a public school in California.

no doubt

The sooner the war starts the better, honestly

sdwill1978

yes . the law is there to protect us !

olegnad862003

Yes and yes. Enough said.

Honestly? you really want to read my honest opinion? Well, here it goes: I DO NOT CARE! I care about me getting straight A's at school, I care about finishing grad school, I care about the market opening and closing GREEN, I care about my mom and dad's health, I care about being successful, I care about a good global economy so we all can live in harmony, I care about all the poor suffering animals, I care about me not getting fat, I care about my dogs, and I care about UCLA Bruins winning the whole NCAA tourney. That's what I care about. I could care less if illegal immigrants come into this country to make a living and I could care even less for those lazy @sses who complaint about illegals stealing their jobs.

To anti-illegals: if you are afraid of the illegals stealing your jobs, then go back to school and get educated, I doubt illegals are allowed to work in nice offices or even cubicles of big firms. Also, if you work for a "good-enough" company, it will issue you insurance benefits, hence, you won't have to rely on Medicare or however you call it.

To pro-illegals: do you gain anything helping illegals becoming legal residents? if you do, then, work with some immigration lawyer. If not, why do you even bother going to those stupid protests? is it a reason for you to skip work or school? Well, if that's the reason, I would advise you to get back to work otherwise, you'll turn into an anti-illegal...and the whole cycle starts over again.

As for supporting a politician who's anti-illegal? Well, all politicians will tell you that they will reform this and that...but that's all BS. I would support the politician who cares more about gaining economic power, rather than military power.

But again, I know that many of you Yahoo! Answerers are here answering all these types of questions because of boredom (like me). Well, I hope this somehow helps YHOO, because I want to see good earnings.

Haha...this is so funny, to the person who wrote about using all the technological devices/military to close the borders...are you really serious about this? dude, smell the coffee, those "technological devices" are use to fight countries where oil is their main natural resource...not to stop little Mexicans sneaking into this country...oh! actually, I just answered why the government is not doing anything about illegal immigration...because they are putting every effort to control the most valuable world posession: OIL.

Wait!! did I just read something about DNA profile? hahaha!!! no comments!! :-| hahaha...what's this now? some type of new CSI US-Mexico border?

*yawn* I'm sleepy now.............buh bye!!! and let's see the Lady Vols kicking some Mississippi's butts.

Tax money? well, here's something new to you (probably). A healthy lady with 2 kids WITHOUT a job is able to afford to buy her sons a $3K I-book, $600 PS3, $150 I-pod, and many other wow stuff...and that money is from the government. As I said, she DOES NOT work...and wow!! those kids own all those gadgets that only in my dreams I could owned. Oh! and do you know what else she owns? how about $2K LV and $500 on sale Pradas? and again, she DOES NOT WORK. That's where the tax money is going...I don't know any illegal immigrants, so I really don't know if they own all those things, but I do know people who live under welfare and complaint about illegals. Oh yeah, and her kids go to San Marino's schools (whoever lives in LA should know about it) but they don't live in San Marino...

Lets say I did not want deer in my yard. The most expedient way to keep them out of my yard is to build a tall fence. But am I thinking of the long term maintenance costs of having that fence? I also know that the deer will eventually find a hole in the fence. Or get hung up in the fence. So what choice do I have now? Put up a surveilence camera? How many manhours should I dedicate to watching the monitors? Now how much will that cost me, in the long term?
If this truly is the land of opportunity, who are the opportunist that stand to make a bundle off the American tax-payer? Security is only as good as the people who make it for themselves. All you have to do is look at the response times after making a 911 call in this country to know how interested in security that our government truly represents to us.
Lets say we have an illegal immigrant that comes here and commits a crime. Which is more illegal, the immigration, or the crime? Anything near to perfecting logic and common sense is stupid according to the popular belief of today. That criminal should do time in our penal system and then sent home, notifying the country of origin of the crimes commited against us. If the country of origin wasn't the least bit interested in its citizenry to want to know where they are, why tell them before we send them back. I certainly know of one way to to get the attention of the country of origin. Send them a bill for the period of incarceration of their citizenry. This could lead to a whole new understanding in the world that should help the country of origin to start thinking about its population and bettering the conditions that make these people want to leave them for a better opportunity. Our companies can send them every job we have. It still will not improve the situation for the population that wants come here. Our companies only operate by their laws, which means less stringent and more opportunity for exploitation for profit. Changing nothing for the people with their own governments.

No, immigration, illegal or otherwise is just one degree of seperation from the reality of the whole compass. It is the same for just about any issue that can be spoken of. Any politician that speaks to a tragic comedy such as this is another fool.
