Illegal immigration has become an increasing problem in the U.S. as our population has increased over the years. Washington is trying to solve this problem by granting amnesty to current illegal aliens living in the U.S. Amnesty, however, will not solve the underlying problem of illegal immigration. On one hand, amnesty acknowledges our simple economic reality. The U.S. needs cheap workers and Mexico provides half the illegal workers here. Many pay taxes, yet they are denied many of the health and education benefits legal status would bring. The process to become a legal resident of the U.S. is long, so amnesty is supposed to be a quicker solution to providing legal status to those that our economy depends on.

no, No, NO, HELL NO! "The U.S. needs cheap workers and Mexico provides half the illegal workers here. "
What does this mean exactly? "needs"? An economy is not a design or fact of nature. An economy is a man made concept meant to serve a group of people. If the US and it's "economy" must destroy and undermine it's citizens, the descendants of the very people who paved the way for it at all, for it's "success" then we as a people are sick and suicidal if we blindly accept and embrace it.

No. They should receive handcuffs and a one-way plane ticket to the farthest corner of their home country.

I do believe the people have made their voices heard. The Problem? WE CAN'T VOTE THEM OUT!! Both Presidential candidates are for amnesty. The people did not pick these men, the rich and powerful did.

Absolutely NOT! They really don't want that any way, they like the way things are going right now. They like playing the system, and want nothing to get in their opportunist way. They may march and complain, but they never wanted to become Americans, they just want what America can give them, while they continue to take and give back little to nothing.
