Oh boy, I think Mexico has lost some serious focus...
We don't need to, to close the border. A good fence and a beefed-up border patrol can do the job.why don't we bring our soldiers home

It's not always about cost of labor. What if the illegals in your area work harder than anyone else you can find?

Myth, I have worked with all (south texas) folk some good, some bad,
the illegal labor is wanted because of low wages and "usually" doesn't
complain, however that also is changing.
Illegal labor is simply about greed, more profit in the pocket less goes to labor,
quality of work is another issue but many contractors don't care about that.
Two groups benefit from illegal labor, the wealthy on this side and the same in
Mexico. The end result is the American taxpayer is the loser, subsidized labor.
Eh, it depends. I used to hire guys standing at gas stations, probably illegal but I never knew for sure, because they would work all day for the same pay as anyone else but without the complaints. Hundred bucks each and a bottle of tequila and these guys would dig holes and plant trees for me all day long.Myth, I have worked with all (south texas) folk some good, some bad,

I don't think anyone here illegally should have any kind of public assistance, regardless of how long they've been here. I don't see why a guy that doesn't pay taxes should ever be allowed to benefit from welfare.* No public assistance for illegals or LPRs that have been here less than 5 years. LPR's sponsors are supposed to support them financially! Let them!
I'd rather have the risk be greater. I wouldn't want to deny any child the opportunities of being an American citizen because his parents made a mistake but the parents shouldn't be allowed to use thier child to stay here. Thus, send the parents back and give the child to a family that wants to adopt a child and can actually provide for him. I think the risk of losing one's child will stem this problem far better than simply bussing them back across the border.* Eliminate "Anchor babies". Legislate that all newborns have the same legal status as their mothers. This will not violate the 14th amendment.
Now that I wouldn't like. I like hiring guys, legal or otherwise, and allowing them to take home what they made working for me. I don't mind eating the tax penalties myself. Either way the system gets its' money so why should a guy that wanted to make some extra cash for a week have to pay it if I'm willing to?* Require that all employers verify SS#s with the SS Administration. Require them to report discrepancies to ICE.
* Verify status of all students at ALL levels of schools. Report all violators to ICE for immediate removal.
Can you imagine the kind of manpower it would take to go to every house builder and landscaper and verify the legality of the employees? When I ran a landscape company I had at least half a dozen active job sites per day and we're a very small operation. Would this really be possible?* Intense worksite enforcement. Violators removed immediately. Employers knowing hiring illegals to be fined $10,000 for each occurance.
Awesome possum. That would be yet another incentive for them to come here legally. THough can you imagine the political fall out as hundreds of immigrants are turned away at the emergency room and left to die in the street?* No free medical care for illegals.
