When the banks started granting mortgages and credit cards to illegal immigrants, I told my friends that this would put our banking industry in a financial crisis, and could even bankrupt our country. No one believed me.

Giving free medical care in our emergency rooms accross the country sure didn’t help them stay open. Giving free education to those who don’t even speak the language didn’t enrich our school systems from state to state.

Many of us have been very vocal for years about the drain on our financial system by illegal immigrants. No one listened.

The only problem is that you will never get a substantial percentage of either party to stand up and say "Deport them all now!" It just will never happen. So, other solutions must be devised.

Newfreep's steps are good, but along with steps 1 and 2, we have got to close down the flow first. The problem with Reagan's amnesty is that the flow was not controlled like Congress said it would be. This is why many are not for another amnestly now. Honestly, if it can be demonstrated that the flow is controlled, my first step would be to speed up the process for those who are doing the process legally. Then enforce existing laws and punish businesses who hire illegals, but on top of this, give those illegals a chance to make it right. After the line is cleared of those who are doing the process legally, allow those who are here illegally to go through the more efficient process to be legal citizens. Give a deadline for those here illegally to start the process and those caught after the deadline are immediately sent back.

Good post, Yorkie.

We who have steadily opposed the illegal invasion for years are the real losers in every election, no matter which party wins.
