Deport them all.
2nd line: as soon as possible.
It's the law.
Yeah, lets be hypocritical because even though our ancestors killed and drove back most of the Native Americans in order to set up a new country...we're definitely not immigrants. We are ancestors of immigrants. So...if we should deport all the illegals, can I go back in time and deport all the colonists with the updated version of the constitution?
Hypothetical situation. Let's say the United States is invaded by the Chinese, and you live in the U.S. Overwhelmed by the masses of Chinese soldiers, and you didn't have a passport or green card ID for Mexico or Canada, and you got to one of the borders, and they didn't let you in. How would you feel?
Or lets just say you were born in Mexico. You grew up impoverished, and wanted to seek a better life. You drink water from a stream that doesn't flow very well and half the time it makes you vomit. Eventually, you get used to it. You work out in the fields all day and you make about 100 pesos, or $10 a day, which is just enough money to put food on the table for your family. Would you give up your crappy life to go work in the U.S. where you get paid 10x as much to work the same crappy job in a field, that no American would actually do? The fact of the matter is, if you wanted to get rid of all the illegal immigrants, there would be either two results:
A) A massive food shortage due to lack of pickers in the fields, thus, massive amounts of food going to waste and rotting
B) The price of fruits and vegetables skyrockets 10 fold or more, because only Americans are allowed to work in the fields and demand more pay.
Even if Americans were paid minimum wage to pick fruits and vegetables in the fields, the price of fruits and vegetables would go up by about 1000%, given the current wages of illegal immigrants. Are you prepared to pay $55/pound for oranges, cherries, apples, or other farm foods? Or would you just buy processed foods, which eventually give you cancer/lower longevity?
Are you prepared to let everyone in all countrys come in at will?

Yes i guess your not getting my point. If you think its ok for mexicans to come over illegally across the border unchecked then its ok for everybody reguardless of country to come over freely? Right?

Illegal aliens who take your jobs, only take them because nobody else does.
Only one thing should be understood, a lesson is it be learned, and that is motivation to get those jobs before they do.
They are living human beings, they exist just as you do - learn to understand this important point that they aren't just some emotionless peoples that hope to overrun America for fun. They simply are trying to survive and learn just as you, me, and everything else is.
Love is the key to this problem, a working with each other for a greater goal. Hate, violence, and ego-filled pride only makes matters worst - and this my friends is the path that the majority take.
Wake-up for your brothers, divided upon itself, the world cannot stand.

HE wont. Because see the supporters or illegal mexican immigrants have to say EVERYONE can come over. Or they would appear racist and hypocrites thats why they wont answer the question.
YOU cant say one group of people have the right to cross illegally with no repercussions then on the flip side say a iranian, iraqi, irish, russian cant do it.
