illegal immigrants, should something be done? Options

i guess the issue on illegal immigrants is becoming more apparent than before. what do you guys think? should something be done to stop this or should something be done?


personally i think the government NEEDS to crack down on these people. its unfair if dishonest people cross the border line or reside in america for a longer period of time than allowed.

so because it takes so long, you're saying we can let them cheat the system by sneaking in.

why? why make laws preventing illegal immigration and border patrols when you're going to reward them for sneaking in? it doesn't make sense.

Sneak in? So are you saying that what? All illegal immigrants swam here from their country? Most actually got here legally. They managed to get a visa and come as tourists or as students. Well they are here and life isn't so easy. They kind of have to do something. Some do overstay their limit but normally those are the type that work.

As for Mexicans that come across the border. Most die simply attempting to make it across. As do those sneaking away from Cuba. They're willing to risk their lives for something they believe will make them happy. But they're greeted by hypocritical, egotists, and racist people simply spitting to get rid of them.

What rewards? There are none untill they become legal. They can't recieve welfare and unemployment. Laws don't allow it. So if they do want to live here they have to work. It makes perfect sense.
