Quote:Illegal immigration has come to the limelight recently in the news. Liberals try to mask these criminals as "undocumented immigrants". Some cry for amnesty. Others for deportation. The politicians don't want anything to do with it and cannot act on the topic.
Liberals? It looks to me like this is a fairly bipartizan issue... note that the President, Mr. Radical Right, is pro-guest workers and isn't exactly a fan of the fence or really-tough-borders ideas...
Quote:Let's build a fence or put the national guard on the border to keep people from coming across. If they want to come here then they can go through the same process as all the other people do. And I think that if you're going to come to America you need to know how to speak English.
Fences just plain won't work. The only way to keep them from coming is to have conditions in their countries be good enough that they don't want to come anymore... that's how Western Europe got the Eastern Europeans to stop leaving for the West -- they spent a lot of money to improve standards in those nations. Maybe just money isn't the answer, but the solution to the issue is in Mexico more than it is here, and we should be doing something of some kind.
