    To the brainless who think making them legal will improve our economy: Uhhhh, so they'll stop sending money back to Mexico just because they become citizens? Don't think so... remittances from the U.S. are Mexico's SECOND source of income, only behind oil revenue! Also, those who are not already using fake documents or stolen IDs to obtain welfare could do so legally if they became citizens. When 80% of illegal immigrants don't even have a high school education you're counting on them to pay taxes and get jobs that make enough to pump up the economy? In actuality, they'll get money BACK from the federal government after filing taxes with all the credits they'll be eligible for. And if they do minimum wage work, where is all this "tax" money coming from? Do the math, people: it's been proven time after nauseating time that every illegal in our presence is a NET loss for taxpayers. It's really simple Tony; they TAKE MORE THAN THEY GIVE, and more could do it legally if Obama doesn't quit seizing and offers an amnesty. (Over most Americans' dead bodies-- it AIN'T gonna happen.)

    1. Enforce the laws on the books.

    2. Create a tamproof biometric social security card to go along with E-verify.

    3. Repeal the law that gives Cubans a greencard when they enter the US. I've known alot of Cubans and I none of them ever had any fear of living in Cuba. They came because Cuba is a poor country and they know they can get a green card and welfare just by showing up. Any other illegal alien that does that it deported, why should Cubans be any different. Cuba is so eager to put the past behind them, so lets do it and treat them the same way we treat Mexico.

    SECURE THE BORDERS FIRST THING. Second, bring all the corporate CEOs who use illegals and charge them with the corresponding crime. Allow citizens who report illegals to ICE to collect a reward for reporting them. Round up the illegals, charge them with invading this country. Allow them to return to their home country instead of prison time if they choose. Make sure illegals no longer get free ER care at legals expenses nor other benefits. Charge politicians who want to give amnesty or guest worker programs with treason. Give them prison time. Sell illegals assets and place the revenues to Border Control. Its way past time to get serious about Illegal immigration.

    that may not the only reason we are dropping to third international type. the upward thrust of ladies people who're having infants and no father to help help them are additionally pushing us into this type. those women people get into the government device to help them to help the youngsters that won't be able to help. those infants will extra effective than possibly repeat the approach. The style of childrens being stated in single ascertain residences with welfare tips is becoming as quickly by way of fact the immigration challenge.

    As president, I would do the following:

    a. Pull troops out from the rest of the world. Since they do not want us there, we should oblige.

    b. Reduce our troop level form 2.3 million to 1.5 million. That will save a lot of tax payer’s money.

    c. Eliminate all foreign aid since it is tax payer’s money and they did not vote for it in the first place. That will save a lot of tax payer’s money too.

    d. Build a “Berlin-like” wall along the southern border with guard towers spaced every 10 miles. Station troops along the border, with all the advance weapons and surveillance technologies at their disposal. Place land mines on the southern side of the wall. Have warning signs in 10 different languages. Do the same for the northern border if necessary. The soldiers should be prepared to kill illegal immigrants if necessary. The Berlin wall did work, which a lot of historians will not admit.

    e. Beef up security on the ports. The military can assist.

    f. Arrest any government, private sector, or religious person who breaks immigration laws.

    You can still trade with other countries because it will not put a dent in the economy. Foreigners cans still travel and immigrate legally to the United States because better border and port security will not affect legal travel and immigration one bit.

    1. Immediately cut off all public assistance funding.

    2. Reword 14th amendment to the US Constitution to exclude any child born on US soil to anyone with illegal status, thus eliminating US hospitals as free birth clinics.

    3. Enact get tough measures and prosecute all US companies not using E-verify or hiring illegals in the workforce of the USA.

    I would make it clear that children born to illegals would not automatically be citizens. When those children became 18,they could apply for citizenship.

    I would Enforce the laws on employers who hire illegal aliens.

    I would do everything to discourage this rude behavior.

    I would talk to the heads of those countries ,where most illegals come from and try to help better the lives of those people ,so they wouldn't have to leave home.

    I know people are desperate ,i they leave their own land for a foreign one. But americans cannot compete for resources with illegal people.

    I want them to have a better life ,but we have laws and I think it is better for our country if we have people who respect us enough to come here legally.

    Have them loaded up in Semi's,Busses,any means possible,volunteer vehicles.Taken back to Mexico or flown to whatever country their from.With the death penalty for second offense.People that hired them would receive 5 years in prison first offense.I would tighten the borders,I would legalize Marijuana to stop so much of the violence from the Mexican mafia.These people are "War Criminals!"Invaders of our country and any other country would have just started shooting.They're a plague and a scourge.

    Executive order that implements a policy that would close and revoke the business license of any company that employs illegals. Take funding from programs that study why pig crap stinks and use it for deportation of all illegal aliens.

    Maria you sure do wear out the Immigration questions, don't you have other question you would like to ask since you already know what most of us on this site thinks of it? You are a button pusher...

    But I will answer your question again . The leaches come here to leach off our already broken Country, or they would not come here. For some of you that say "No they don't" you are probably one of them and don't know what you are talking about anyway so don't bother responding. I would build a mote 15' wide and FILL it with alligators, and pyrana fish. There are reasons they do not fill out the appropriate forms to be here legally. But they sure can fill out the forms to get welfare and everything else they leach from.....
