I think america caters to them too much and we should stop but just how do we do that? I know if we cut programs and welfare then actual Americans will suffer along with those here illegally. Do we just give everyone who is here citizenship? I think if we did that we will just compound the problem like it did back in the 80's when Congress gave amnesty and citizenship to many of the illegals that were in the country.
I think this time we need to find a much different solution and get our boarders secured. Without secure borders this problem is always going to be a big issue.
Yes, many things would cost more as the people would have to be paid at least minimum wage and employers would have to start putting in money for unemployment for each employee.
The only ways this works and doesnt just become a problem again in the future is to seal off the border. If the US Government can give another $500 million that we don't have to the Pakistan Government, then we can certainly spend more money we don't have to seal off that border. If worse comes to worse, mine the border...it has worked fabulously in many instances to stop agressive onward movements and mines are cheap. This has to happen first because as you all have mentioned, we have a lot already here and if we announce a amnesty program, the desert will look like a human river.
When I think of this uncontrolled immigration, it is so ironic...

You'll notice that the flyer says NOTHING about whether or not these "not US citizens" are here legally. Another way that the law is undermined - "protect yourself" from these raids! I really don't get this. I do understand that the children are affected by their parents being arrested or detained, but they have to understand about the law. Breaking the law has consequences, whether you have children or not.

Farseer, I think the point about the non-US citizen statement maybe is due to phenotype. Let's say a factory is raided where MOST Hispanics working there are illegal. Let's suppose there are a couple of LEGAL Hispanic workers there or even US citizens of Hispanic heritage. I think there is a big possibility that MOST of them (if not all) will be detained and taken into custody until all the papers are sort out.

That's true, LDS_Forever. During the raid, the legal immigrants wouldn't necessarily be distinguishable from the illegal immigrants. Good point.
