Where do you stand on immigration?
I asked my Mexican friend, and he said he was on the fence.

Is your Mexican friend on the fence because he's in the U.S illegally? Every illegal immigrant should be deported. Only legal immigrants should be able to stay in the U.S.A.

America has always welcomed "Legal Immigrants" not our country and we always will.
America established laws governing entry into our nation and as long as those laws are complied with I have no problem with immigrants coming here. I have worked with many of them, I have enjoyed the friendship of many of them and I would place most of them as high on my list of honorable and ethical people as any I know.
However - illegal aliens have NO right to be here and they need to be sought out, apprehended and deported at the earliest time. The became criminals the moment they illegally entered our nation (or failed to leave when Visas ran out) and every day they remain here they compound that crime. Those who brought children with them or have given birth to children after coming here have endangered the lives and well being of the child and that too is a violation of law in every state of the nation.
We need to enforce our nation laws and stop making a mockery of them by turning our back on this serious problem. It is one of our nations biggest problems falling behind only our economy and jobs; both of which is significantly impacted by illegal aliens. An idea that we can do nothing until the border is secure is stupid. We need to do it all at the same time; secure the border, arrest and deport and prosecute those who return.

Well played, sir, well played.
On a serious note, I think it needs reform, but we have GOT to strengthen our borders. But we need to address the flaws in the immigration system that leads to illegal immigration in the first place.

For me, personally, all my savings (except for nursing home and funeral) would go to deportation of all illegals, their families and their families' families. Yes, I meant every word I wrote. One needs to be a neolibnazi, or a complete imbecile not to see the devastation illegals are causing. Be it resources, or socio-demographics.
Hussen obaminator and his party members are and will be fiercely defending illegals, because they (and welfare leaches, of course) are a huge part of their voters and therefore a foundation of their political powers if not of their entire existence.
