What do you guys feel about illegal immigrants living in the US. First of all let me say that I am not racist and I do not discriminate against other people based on race. Anybody from any race who enters the US legally and goes through the system deserves to be here and should get a pat on the back for doing it the right way.
As for illegal immigrants, what do you think should be done with them? Neither party wants to kick them out because somehow they think that they will get more of the Spanish vote if they are allowed to stay. It's not like Spanish people entered here legally want others to be able to slide through the cracks illegally and will vote for anyone who supports illegal immigration... or is it? Strange indeed.
They sneak across the border and give birth and are magically granted citizenship. Hospitals along the US/Mexican border are filled with illegal immigrant mothers who sneak across just to become citizens when they have their child here. As far as I'm concerned if you are an alien here and you have a kid here then your kid should not be a citizen here and neither should you. That is a ridiculous loophole in the system that I really have a problem with.
Other times they just live here and stay long after their work permit runs out. I have heard of one too many cases where somebody was hurt in car accident and had to go through their own insurance because the person who hit them was an illegal immigrant with no insurance or money.
But how do you keep them out? What should be done to enforce some sort of realistic penalty for illegal aliens? The punishment should fit the crime, but if we put them in jail here then our tax dollars are wasted. If we deport them back to Mexico (or wherever), then they come back the next day.
What are your thoughts on this?
