Just think of the boost to our economy if hard labor was no longer dirt cheap.Arch Enemy said:These illegal immigrants (mainly the Mexicans) actually help our infrasturcture, they do jobs that we need down but most Americans are too lazy or pre-occupied to do.
I agree. Take the people on welfare and make them do the jobs the illegals did. Kill two birds with one stone.We need to close the borders, not only down south, but up north too, Remember, its not racist to make immigration sensible and its not racist to love this great country of ours that our brave men and women in Iraq are fighting for and these illegal immigrants should realize that.
SourceDANBURY, Conn. — This middle-class New England suburb is nowhere near an international border but it still has the illegal immigration problems familiar to cities like San Diego and Tucson, Ariz.

Mayor Mark Boughton (search) blames the government for his town's inability to cope with 15,000 illegal immigrants, approximately 19 percent of the overall population.
"This is one community that has been incredibly stressed by failed federal policy and we need help," said Boughton.
Because the illegal residents aren't counted in the U.S. census, Danbury (search) doesn't receive any federal aid for them.
"In terms of our social services, this presents a tremendous strain, particularly on quality of life of our neighborhoods, our schools our health care system," Boughton said.
Residents complain the influx is killing property values. Homeowner Peter Gadiel said neighbors are fed up. "They're blue collar workers and their whole life savings is tied up in their house and they're seeing their neighborhood being destroyed."
The mayor says he wants state police officers to be deputized as federal immigration officers — giving them access to a federal database and helping them track illegal immigrants. But Connecticut's attorney general said Boughton needs the approval of the governor and others before that can happen.

Vague is correct, dealing with the rest. Think about it, how good would it look for the country of the free to not be free to anyone else execpt Americans.
The problem with that being is that Legal immigrants get paid (at least) minimum wage. Illegal immigrants are paid under the table and paid less with their employers also not paying taxes on them.Kevin Johnson said:Let legal immigrants come in and do those jobs. Illegal immigrants are a drain on our resources and economy. The only government assistance they should receive is the quickest possible transport right back to the country they came from.
Blackflagx said:What gives us the right to tell people that they cant step over a line and live there? If I remeber correctly we did the same, but much worse. We came in, killed the natives, and set up our own system. Telling people that they cant come into this country to live is hypocracy. We need to stop thinking in terms of nationalism and start thinking of the world as a whole.

Try driving around as a Gringo in Mexico with no liability insurance..... and have an accident...
Enter MEXICO illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.
Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc.
Procreate abundantly. Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural United States thing. You would not understand, pal."
Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.
Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.
Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.
Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico.
Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers. Good luck! Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world... except right here in the United States... Land of the naive!

Taiwan has such a program and has workers coming in from the Philippines, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Thailand and other countries to work in labor intensive industries, farm workers, and domestics. It works here. If Taiwan can make it work, surely the United States can.
