    Enforcement/deportation is the only answer. Lessons learned from 1986 should be that amnesty only encourages more illegal immigration. In addition the 14th amendment needs to be interpreted the way it's authors intended...IE NO automatic citizenship because of accident of birth....No more anchor babies. Laws like Hazelton passed should be the norm, not the exception. Sanctuary cities should be outlawed. Representatives from sanctuary cities, along with the mayors and city councils should be prosecuted and jailed for aiding and abetting in accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986...are you listening Pelosi????

    If the citizens of the United States refused to file and pay their taxes do you think the government would grant us amnesty? Do you think they would say just give me 60% of what you owe? Do you think they would forgive us for defrauding the Social Security System? Then why is the Senate proposing exactly that. Surely as US LEGAL residents we should be afforded EQUAL protection under the law.

    To grant amnesty to these lawbreakers would be unconscionable

    Enforcement/deportation - no doubt about it!!

    There should be no amnesty for illegals.

    ENFORCEMENT!!!

    Otherwise what value is any law?

    And the argument against enforcement is "We can't deport 12 million people!"

    No one says we have to do it all at once (like Spain did!). If it takes 20 years to get the last one out, so be it!

    I'd love to hear someone say, "But I've been here 20 years!" and have the immigration officer respond, "Sorry I didn't get to you sooner, now get on the bus!"

    Enforcement.

    If they can't follow the rules coming in now what makes you think they are going to follow them when they get amnesty? We have enough rule benders and breakers! The people that want amnesty are trying to get votes at the nations expense.

    I support enforcement. Amnesty only shows that they can break the laws and get rewarded for it.

    Both , enforcement not meaning deportation though!

    enforcement - the act of enforcing; insuring observance of or obedience to

    vigilantism - the actions of a vigilance committee in trying to enforce the laws

    jurisprudence, law - the collection of rules imposed by authority; "civilization presupposes respect for the law"; "the great problem for jurisprudence to allow freedom while enforcing order"

    Enforcement of all immigration laws, and deportation of all illegal immigrants.
