I don't know what to think about the US immigration issue?
Answer:
You've made very well thought out points in the description of the issue. It is unfortunate that people do not thoroughly research an issue to make or take a stance. The immigration issue has deep roots that people do not care to dig to uncover the truth; they take what the media supplies them at face value. Unfortunately, this issue will take a long while to resolve itself, and it will take the efforts of both countries involved: the U.S. and Mexico. Everything is revolved around capitalism as it has reached heights that did not seem possible. As citizens of the U.S. we must put the pressure on corporations who want to maximize profits by any means. They continuously hire people at lower wages to fatten up their own pockets: where is the diginity for the people who take these jobs? If the corporations feel like they want even more profit, they take their factories to other countries for even cheaper labor. I don't see anyone complaining about these corporations! Now, on the Mexican side, that government needs a complete overhaul. There is enough resources in that country to bring many Indigenous people out of poverty. But of course, the government has found a great neighbor to the north that it learns from, thus the elite have become masters at inflating their bank accounts. Let's not forget the drug cartels that want to monopolize the economy using connections from both sides of the border (and not just Mexicans. Think of all the people that blow powder, including the entertainment business.). There is no dignity for poor, hard working people on both sides of the border.
No to amnesty, send Illegals back from whence they came, regardless of nation or nationality. then they can get in line like the legal immigrants.
Well, first trty to emphatize. Secondly, look at it from varios perspectives: economic, social, cultural, racial, etc?
You may realize that to be neutral is the best stance, or you may choose to radical and hateful towards the millions of families living and working here illegally, or you may decide that you need to see things from a more critical eye, instad of the myopic rants we see here.
Let us know.

if it was truly a war and an epidemic then why has the unemployment constantly stay at 5-6% for the last 10-15 years? They are not taking away jobs that Americans would do themselves.
The guest worker program basically as I understand it is based on the 12-20 million illegal aliens in the country already and register them as guest workers. It won't drive down wages because these people are already doing the jobs in the guest worker program and the majority of Americans don't do or want the jobs this program is designed for mainly the crop workers in the southwest. We have to do something with the millions that are here already and sending them back is unrealistic. I disagree with almost all of the President's policies but the last immigration bill was the best compromise I think we'll see in a very long time and the price of doing nothing is too high to consider.
One problem you do not recognize is that the overwhelming majority of illegal Mexicans who sneak into the US are low-skilled, uneducated, bottom rung individuals who have no interest in becoming US citizens and even if they did would consume far more in social services and welfare than they would pay into the system, meaning the illegals are a net drain to US taxpayers. These unskilled workers will work for whatever they can get because it is a lot better than what they can get in that corrupted cesspool of a country south of the Rio Grande. Because they will work for almost nothing, and companies are willing to violate existing federal law by employing them illegally, jobs for lawful US citizens will be reduced to poverty wage and packed with illegals. The only thing it will do for our economy is to start to drag it down to the level of a Third World country. It is NO benefit to any American taxpayer and will simply mean more US citizens will lose their jobs to illegals who are willing to work for almost nothing.
Streamlining the immigration process will have no effect on illegals who have no intention of becoming lawful citizens in the first place. The arguments for this so-called "guest worker" program are pure sham. So is the idiotic argument that these illegals do jobs that Americans won't. (The reason why they do these jobs is they are willing to work for a sub-poverty level wage and the comapnies who hire them take advantage of that fact, and this is a benefit to nobody.)
all i'm going to say is that 12 million immigrants cannot be deported. just watch.
and also, these people cannot remain "illegal" in the US anymore, that's why this reform needs to pass.
I think you all got schooled by Eon.
Thanks Eon. You sound like a true warrior.
We need warriors to revolutionize this country, not pathetic little cry babies.
Marilyn T's comment is the most racist comment I have read on the site.
".a culture that is based on people who lie, cheat and steal to get what they want.."
Gosh, if I read this statement I might think you were talking about America (after colonization!!)
I suggest you pick up a book and fast. Try reading "Foriegners In Their Native Land", by David Weber
Actually, thank you for your comment. I have a project idea around this issue that I am now going to fully implement.
Have a nice day.
It will be alot worse than just losing a job.It will be the end of a way of life.Too many people all at once is going to make some big changes in everyones everyday life.I don't want to see America change for a culture that is based on people who lie,cheat and steal to get what they want.It is not all about money, it is also about cultures.If you want to talk about post war Europe and a guest worker program,if that was even true,it would only have taken place because most of the male population was killed during the war.Are we a post-war country?
