Do you think we should get rid of the over 38 million illegals, or give amnesty so they will invite others?

Get rid of them and I really dnt care how. They have been a HUGE part of the depression that this country is in right now. Hundreds of Billions of dollars going to support ILLEGAL INVADERS in this country.

Deport them! There is no reason that we should let them stay here. They tried the amnesty thing in the 80's and look where it got us now.

Wow so much hate in this forum =/ First, where are you getting your facts? lol It's 12 million and last i heard a lot of them have been going back since our country's economy sucks lol So make that 10 million. Besides, a lot of us are getting this wrong... in terminology anyway. He is not giving amnesty because an amnesty is a pardon WITHOUT fines (like the 1986 amnesty). What he is doing is actually helping the economy a bit by charging them a HUGE fine on top of the regular fees a legal immigrant would have to pay. I think it's going to be 2500 per head ($30,000,000,000 IF we say it's 12 million but since you say it's 38million then it's $95,000,000,000 in revenue for the U.S.!!). Mulitply that by 12 million and you've got a pretty good chunk of money. In "legal" terms this is called a LEGALIZATION bc he is charging them. An amnesty is just like "Ok you're forgiven but just fill these papers out".

EDIT: Well, 12 million isnt downplaying. I mean it's common sense that's a LOT of ppl. And Whoa! You are saying all illegals kill and rape? That's like saying all whites are KKK members and molest children. I think what you meant to ask if i'm pro-legalization? Well it depends. A lot of these immigrants, like MANY of the FORGOTTEN IRISH that came here illegally in the early 1800s, have proven they are good people and do pay annual taxes with the help of a number called ITIN. They pay taxes every time they buy something, period. But anyway i do think we should give some the opportunity to prove themselves. If not, deport them, done. For those who do have a FELONY record, no. Deport them back. Besides, dont you think that if we had been enforcing our borders a looong time ago we would be going through this now? Why isnt USCIS deporting them like they've always said? There's a hidden agenda and you know it bc when our government wants something done, it gets it done. It's their fault as much as it is ours. Takes two to tango.

The day that Obama give them amnesty will be the day he will have personally killed his little chance that he will get elected again.There will be such a uproar over this because I think most americans are sick and tired of these people.The government has allowed this to happen by not enforcing the laws and now they must figure out how to send these people packing.And if they have children then take them with them.We should have never given them welfare in the 1st place as this is the only reason they are truly here.

I think Mr. Obama would guarantee he will NOT be re-elected if he does something as politically stupid as to give illegals amnesty or anything else but a hard way to go and mass deportation. Our economy can't afford to take care of our own people, let alone make things hospitable for anyone who feels like defying our immigration laws, etc.

I believe a great way for someone wanting to become a citizen would be to make them join any form of the Military for a minimum of 5 years. That way they can live in a different type of base and we can keep them separated from real Americans, well until they finish they're service then they are free to go about the country and live were ever they like being a new American citizen and as for every one else that does not qualify, I'm exactly not sure.

That's one reason why i voted for Obama i approve of that amnesty just like i always say there is good in bad in everybody weather ur white, black,hispanic whatever u are. everybody deserves a better life!!! bring all of them over here i dont care they are NOT the ones who got us in this mess u can BLAME THAT ALL ON GEORGE W. BUSH

GET Ride of ALL illegals.

As you stated each illegal given legal status could in turn sponsor up to 90 family members to come legally to the US. Within 5 years of amnesty we would have all 110 million MX citizens living in the US.

In addition it would cost US taxpayers $2.6 trillion to grant plus add $50-60 billion a year to welfare cost.

Giving amnesty to illegal would insure Obama not being elected in 2012.

Illegal aliens cost Californians $5 Billion a YEAR! Obama needs to depart all of them or the US will be bankrupted and broke for sure just like California.

I think he must give all of them amnesty and then create strict fool proof laws which can keep such people and their families away from US.

These illegal immigrants are created because of outdated,useless and bogus immigration laws as approved by previous governments from time to time. And the only way to clean America now is to make some drastic change like this.

The best way to get rid of them:

Round up a few thousand of them.

Then FINE and FORCE-work them [on chaingangs, road crews, etc.] to pay off the fines, before deporting them.

When the rest see what's happening, they will leave too.

Then there'd also be millions of jobs vacated that our own people can do.

If you want that to be done, then message Obama, Biden and your federal reps demanding it.

Obama is politically astute enough to know which side his bread is buttered on. So if enough people demand it, he will authorize ICE and other federal agencies to implement the above mass deportation.
