Let's face it... we're not going to deport 12 million people. The costs would be staggering. Police time, court hearings, lawyers, incarceration, meals, transportation... the cost could easily exceed $100 billion.

We need to shut down the border, register the current illegals, put them at the end of the naturalization line, and lay hefty fines on businesses that hire illegals.

My main concern is that this will be another "last chance" amnesty deal like we had in the 1980s.

It's costing the U.S. taxpayer over a $100 billion a year to just have over 12 million illegals here as it. If they are continued to be allowed to stay, it will collapse our economy, starting with the medical industry.

This is not just a matter of following the law, it is a matter of our very survival.

Um-m-m. I hate to be a smart alec, but as I understand it, those here illegally are illegal. The charge, if they are caught, is a misdemeanor. If that is true, and they get away with all of this law breaking, can we, who have had to pay for speeding, parking, or other traffic tickets over the years apply for a refund?

That's BS. If we started to enforce the law we would not need to deport the 12 million. If life got tough for them to find a job, feed their kids, find medical care they would leave enmasse. You take away the incentive for them to come. I.e easy employment, free education, free medical care and they one stop coming and two leave on their own or three come in legally. We would only need to deport a very small percentage say 500,000 and the message would get out that you are not welcomed here illegally. If we at the same time increased the ease of legal immigration the massage would be clear. Go home enter legally. Pay the taxes and you can have the American life. Stay illegally and your life would be a constant pain. It would take about 12 months for the entire immigration debate to go away and we as a nation would reap the benefits of a renewed period of immigration and blood not seen since the 1920's of a population that is heavily Christian, with a great work ethic, and a desire for a better life.

How much has the Iraq war costs? Isn't it suppose to be about protecting America? Aren't we patrolling the border with Syria and Iran...aren't guys get IEDed in Bradleys and coming back legless and burnt...i am sure we can do this...we sent a man to the moon for pete's sake.

These leeches suck up more than 100 billion of our money. 20+ billion alone goes back to mexico EVERY year. The rest is in health care, school costs, crime costs (29% of federal inmates are illegals), and welfare costs.

It's time to take the trash out of this country. And make no mistake, my wife is a LEGAL immigrant to this country; she hates them worse than I do because amnesty would be a slap in the face to EVERYONE that has taken the time and efforts to obey the law.

"Let's face it... we're not going to deport 12 million people."

We don't have to, not entirely. For a start, stiff fines and jail time for anyone employing illegals and cut off all the free social services from illegals and a good chunk will go back the way they came.

To post#18. Which is cheaper in the long run: rounding up the illegals or or letting them flood our our social services? Bet letting them stay is a slow bleed to death.
