I oppose any amnesty for the millions of people who have come into America illegally. I resent the fact that the hard earned money of American taxpayers is used to support them (welfare and food stamps, full medical care, education for their children, and housing assistance, etc).

Offering so much to them has opened the floodgates, it sends out the signal to third world countries that all they have to do is sneak over the border and all their needs will be met for free. Now as a result of this policy, there are millions of them here who we will have to support forever, along with all their relatives who can come too. Why should anyone apply for legal citizenship now that they don't have to? Why should the lawbreakers get a free pass and go to the front of the line ahead of those who apply legally?

The only way to solve this problem is employer sanctions, huge fines for those who hire illegal aliens, also revocation of the "anchor baby" law, and mass deportation to follow. The President should announce to the nation that it is time for those who are here illegally to go home and wait their turn, then apply for legal entry. Let the INS do their job.

This would open up millions of jobs for many of those American welfare recipients who should be working and don't work because they don't have to. The nanny nation should be a thing of the past, we can't afford it anymore.

Janet, you've got it right. Solving illegal immigration and the immigration debacle is not difficult to solve. It's difficulty is the result of an unconcerned, unresponsive, illegitimate government.

Why should future Americans have to grow up in a third world America? Why shouldn't they get the same blessings as earlier generations. It sickens me to realize that by the time I'm an old man, this nation will look like the third world in vast swaths.
