Man I honestly think most of you are just bigots and thats just sad.
If you think that the illegals should be here or not, its really inconsequential, because they are here. We are never going to be able to remove them, thats just unrealistic. I mean come on what do you want some sort of ultra fascist government INS squad pissing on the rights of US citizens in an attempt to find illegals?
So they are here, and not going anywhere. The vast majority are hard working individuals who pay taxes. Think of all the consumption based taxes they pay? Gas tax, sales tax, and city taxes like the kind on phones bills, power bills, water bills ect. Then take in the ones paying into social security, workman's comp, federal and state income tax, yet they will never be able to collect.
They come here to do the jobs we wont do, and are treated as outcast while they do it. We need to give the ones who are already here incentives to integrate into our society. Keeping them separate with no loyalties to the US is what will cause a problem.
Again i will say that they come here to do jobs we refuse to do. They artificially keep prices down on labor intensive industries. Without their servitude prices for certain things would go up. Now I'm not saying we should keep the system the way it is, the system is broken. What we need is a comprehensive plan that includes all aspects of the issue. Of course we need to control the boarder, and who crosses it. We also need a legal way for employers to gain access to the workers they need through a guest worker program. Thirdly we need a way for the hard working ones already here to earn citizenship. Taking just one step like building a wall, without taking the others is ludicrous and a waste of time.
To say something like 'hunt them all down and deport their *****' is ignorant, naive, and well racist.
I am really shocked at some of the views expressed here, but i guess i shouldn't be. The majority who post are just middle/upper middle class white kids who haven't really thought through any issues on their own. They just repeat the rhetoric they hear on fox news and from their parents.
