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.

The government then needs to crack down on all illegal immergrants, because they will allow cubans in but they will turn away those from Hati. Personally i am fine with illegal immergrants because they aren't hurting me and are helping the economy so...

We should concentrate on fighting terrorism, not immigration. Oepn borders more and scan more.

As long as they speak english I don't care, but it annoys me to no end when someone that's been immigrated here for say 10 years and still can't speak a word of English!!

i guess thats a nice way to look at it. considering those open borders allow terrorists to come into america more easily. the "scan more" part isn't gonna happen since we have more pressing things to worry about as of now. such as the situation in iraq.

I disagree. Closed borders take resources away from terrorism-fighting and put them into immigration-fighting, whereas open but scanned borders let us watch closer. The War on Iraq is a distraction and will cause more terrorism anyway.

What's the difference? A piece of paper.

We should abolish welfare. That way, only hard working immigrants that help the economy will enter the country. All the parasites will have no reason to enter our country. Best solution there.

Plus no tax money to waste on welfare programs either. A win win situation!

It's also preventing legal americans from obtaining jobs. if the government cracked down on this, then companies would have to hire americans rather than illegal immigrants.

Exactly.

Cracking down on immigration is only going to violate civil liberties, have no effect whatsoever on the economy, and we're still left with the problem of an overbloated welfare state.

We need to tackle the root of the problem, and that is government entitlement.

It is not preventing legal Americans from getting jobs. Becuase the jobs that illegal immergrants do are jobs that americans consider lowly. These lazy Americans would apply for the job in the first place. Illegal immergrants do the jobs that Americans feel that they are too good to do.

Are you saying working at Walmart is a lowly job? Walmart has been accused of hiring illegal immigrants. If the government would crack down on this, Walmart would be forced to hire legal americans.

Well, does it really matter? It's not really affecting many people.
Yea, Walmart hired illegal immigrants for a lower price. If they hired for equal price, there would be no major motivation for the immigrants.

How do you prove something like that ... exactly?

If I focus and type a paper in one hour and then partied for three hours, did I work more hard or less hard than someone who types the same paper in four hours while relaxing with drinks and music?
