You propose deporting 12,000,000 people, including any children that may have been born on U.S. soil?

Apparently the border is more secure than it has been in recent times, with less people trying to cross illegally, lower crime levels, more boots on the ground, more intelligence officers etc. So I think a lot of 'flak' on this particular issue is rather shallow partisan carping by the looks of things. You also say Obama is a Marxist turning the U.S. into the U. of reform including amnesty for some of the people who are not here legally, that's my view.

What would be your favourite option? How far would you be willing to compromise on this issue if you actyallu had some responsibility for finding a solution?
Go figure.

Originally posted by whodeyReagan granted amnesty to 3 million when he signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986. What has changed since then that requires more government action? Why should we spend the money? Didn't the act in '86 solve the immigration problem? They told us then that it would. I see no reason why my taxes should be wasted on something that is not a problem. This is just another tactic used by business groups that want to employ cheap Mexican labor to reap profits from the public treasury. Throwing money at the border will not work! The 'wall' should be renamed the 'US Give-Away for Full Mexican Employment Act.' Look into who is talking this crap up and the businesses behind it - the idiots trying to sell electronic monitoring - the fools pushing technologies that couldn't stop an elephant from walking into your living room. All this talk is just a ruse to bleed the treasury! Don't let these thieves rob the country and increase the deficit for no good reason! There is no border problem - it is all made up to get your money.

Originally posted by TerrierJackBut I thought that the Mexicans coming to America and seeking jobs are not the problem? I thought that the problem were the drug traffic problem and general criminal activity prompting the US government to post signs along the border warning its citizens that it is not safe to travel in certain areas along the border in US territory.

Obviously, the Immigr ...[text shortened]... ess the crime problems that are ripe in Mexico that are infecting the US sites along the border.

what's wrong with that?
