I can't say the ILLEGAL ALIENS are completely to blame for the shape of our economy, but they are a BIG part of the problem. The ILLEGAL ALIENS send BILLIONS upon BILLIONS out of this Country every year, money we will NEVER see again. Does this help our economy?

How about the BILLIONS the American taxpayers fork out for the ILLEGAL ALIEN BABIES, the schooling of them, the medical care and the list goes on, and on, and on.

How about the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS paid to jail ILLEGAL ALIENS for the crimes, then the cost to deport them. Does this help our economy?

Then you have these activist groups, the Catholic Church and the ACLU that want AMNESTY for these ILLEGAL ALIENS. It would be absolute suicide for this Country if AMNESTY were granted to the 20 million or so ILLEGAL ALIENS. We have more and more people out of work everyday and they want to add another 20 million to this Country? I say, "NO"!

If AMNESTY were ever granted to these 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS, you can bet big money that 3 years from now, there would be ANOTHER 3-5 million ILLEGAL ALIENS demonstrating on our soil for AMNESTY.

An end MUST come to this illegal immigration. The perfect tool we have so far is E-Verify. It MUST be used by ALL businesses and Government Social Services. EVERY employee must be checked! If they are illegal, they are to be dismissed!

I believe it is time for all 50 States to pass a State law, like Arizona, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and a few others. It is time for these ILLEGAL ALIENS to go back to their home Country and get out of this Country. The problems they are causing will not go away until the ILLEGAL ALIENS are out of this Country.

It's time foe ZERO TOLERENCE with these ILLEGAL ALIENS. It's time for them to go back to their own country where the belong. They don't belong here.

live4god33	Posted May 27th, 2009 at 6:58PM Yes, we pay for their healthcare because they can just go to the hospital and won't be refused(which I am glad that is available for them). We pay for their childrens schooling since we do not deny any child of an eductation( even if it not a good one and I am glad that is available for them). I just think we should legalize them because we are a nation of immigrants and legalizing them would help pay taxes for the services that they require.Diversity is awesome. Rated: +1Vote for this!
ILustKarl	Posted May 27th, 2009 at 7:31PM Actually illegal immigration decreased because of the economic recession. Less people are interested in coming to US and some even left. The flux of illegals to a certain country is always an indicative of the economic health of the country. So you may even ask... is it possible that this economic recession helped with illegal immigration problem? Ironic. Rated: +1Vote for this!
bunnymousekitt	Posted May 27th, 2009 at 7:41PM In the case of illegal immigrants from Mexico, I can't really see it. Living not far from the border, it's the same as it always was. The companies that hire illegals don't hire legals anyway...they might have to pay minimum wage to a legal resident instead of nearly nothing! And some do pay taxes - they don't dare try and collect their refunds. The tax laws and the shady investment strategies are far more to blame for this. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Toby2day	Posted May 27th, 2009 at 9:23PM I don't see how it could. The jobs that the majority of 'illegals' have are low paying. The bulk of this recession lies with buisnesses and corporations that allowed greed as opposed to good business practices and common sense to rule the day. And that includes stock holders who focus on the short term return, the execs requiring obscene golden parachutes. I don't see illegals among those particular rolls. Rated: +1Vote for this!
