If he's been here for 15 years, he should be deported faster; he's been breaking the law longer. This guy bitches about sugar then wants to spread out cake crumbs.

Ants...
That's my answer.
My wife hates ants, she freaks out when she sees those little tiny ones (pissants we called them as kids) running across the kitchen floor. She buys gallons of insecticide, she drowns them in the stuff, and we pay a guy to fumigate every month.
But the ants always come back.
One day I decided to find out what was going on, I had always thought that ants are just a fact of life, and that you better get used to interacting with insects, living in the tropics and all (the Florida State bird should be the mosquito), so I tracked one.
It came in through a tiny hole under the sliding-glass door leading out to the patio. It ran across the floor, along the wall, up the side of the cabinet, and into a little crevice that led it to the storage area below my kitchen sink. I opened the door just in time to see the little guy climb up the wall of the kitchen trashcan, and into a veritable pissant smorgasbord!
My kid's leftover banana peels from breakfast, the last two bites of a Pop Tart, some coffee grounds, and the crumbs from the bottom of a box of Frosted Flakes.
No lid.
That's our problem, we leave sugar out for the ants, and then we act surprised, and outraged, when they show up to do what ants do.
What needs to be done about illegal immigration, in order to truly bring an end the problem, may be more than what we as a nation may be willing to go through. We need to stop giving the house away, and quit electing politicians who do it. We need to convince others that they need to do the same.
The quick (and deadly) solution of militarizing the borders, is scary, and has no possible end in sight, the moment we think we have things under control and stand down, the ants will come again. It's like taking an over-the-counter cold remedy, you're still sick; you're just too medicated to notice; and as soon as you stop taking it, you feel like crap again.
We need to seriously curtail the welfare entitlement programs, for everyone too, not just illegal immigrants. We need to limit State assistance to anyone believed to be here illegally to:
· Emergency temporary shelter
· Transportation to the border.
We need to challenge the current interpretation of the XIV Amendment in Court, a well-organized, well-financed challenge seeking to eliminate "anchor babies". We need to severely fine and/or prosecute employers found guilty of knowingly using illegal alien help. We need hard time for smuggling, and manufacturing and/or distribution of falsified legal identification documents...hard time, not Fed time.
We need to increase the technological abilities of the INS and the Border Patrol, and improve their efficiency.
I think we should offer incentives to American manufacturing firms looking to set up shop overseas, to build in Mexico, and not China. Mexico needs to co-operate with some internal reforms, and by relaxing some laws. If we are about to help a nation grow economically, I want it to be the one right next door to me, not the one who has nukes trained on me.
We should also bring back the Bracero program, it's a win-win.
Any individual caught in the U.S. illegally should be deported, and not allowed to return to this country, for any reason, for life. But I also think that if we find someone who has been here illegally for fifteen years, working, not breaking laws, setting roots, and otherwise being a model member of the community, we need to give them special consideration, and try thinking out of the box for a kinder solution.
I want to solve the problem, not medicate the symptoms.
I think a long-term goal of US foreign policy towards Mexico should be one of mutually beneficial trade terms, and wealth creation.
And I think that we need to clean up our spilt sugar. The ants will not sneak in under the sliding-glass door, because they know there's nothing in here for them.

If you break the law and you are caught, there are several options as to what the penalty/punishment is.
I say that there should be a different option for people like that.
You don't think so? You're entitled to your opinion as well as I am.
Now, do you have any sort of constructive idea?
Or did you just show up to find something to bitch about?
I have plenty of things to bitch about. The notion of a person being pardoned because he was able to get away with his criminal behavior for years is only one of them.
Bwah hahahahahaha
One of the FUNNIEST moments on TV ever!
You've done it again. You broke the cardinal rule of anti-immigrant threads: No one is permitted to propose an actual solution to the problem of illegal immigration. ;-)
Guess you finally Had enough of the WHining and saber rattling on this issue from all the Americans-by-accident-of-birth-only.
Bitching isn't supposed to be contructive; it's supposed to alert the unaware of a problem. But, this bitch contains the feasable solution within it: deport the illegal alien regardless of how long he has gotten away with his criminal tresspass, and his moral deprivation of cutting in ahead of those who are willing to follow the law and apply for citizenship.
Why in the world would you toot his horn for him, Luis?
Well, I might facilitate the theft of my car by leaving the key on the seat, but that doesn't relieve the egregiousness of the act nor the criminality of the perp.
Not all people found guilty of identical crimes receive the same sentence.
But they do get a sentence. The only available option for the courts is deportation. What other sanctions? Jail? Pillory? Loss of voting fanchise and welfare privileges, when they have a natural right to neither?
I have a feeling that I wouldn't mind my money going to her education over some of the native-born that I've seen in colleges.
"He spent a few years as a legal resident in canada first."
Does that expedite the citizenship process?
Yes, I obviously do not.
Thank you, ma'am. But not sharp enough to peel a green banana republican, I'm afraid. Maybe after it's ripened a bit. . .
