Military force costs money. Effectively sealing off the border with Mexico would also be a huge drain on our economy. And for what purpose? Do they threaten us militarily?

You seem pretty obsessed with 'the mexico border only', yourself......so WHY do you think mexico has a RIGHT to be the largest part of US immigration ???

You must have a BIG dog in this hunt....Where's the ROBUST economy of CA??, home to the largest segement of illegals (from mexico) ??

I think it is more this amporhous thing called "culture" some of them are more worried about.

Personally, I'm not sure I like their idea of "culture" at all.

The money it takes to "assist the legals and illegals here already if revamped from "services would pay for thousands more border agents and monies left over to back into my damned pocket.

You are consistant in showing the reason for this immigration is the benifits at the end of the journey, eliminate the benifits, eliminate the immigration. I can't agree more. The people that should be put in jail and fined substancially are the people who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. If you make it devastatingly punishable to hire illegal immigrants, the demand for illegal immigrants as a work force is removed. If you deny social services to illegal immigrants, the incentives to be here are removed. If you then deny social services to people that have proven they will not become self-sufficient, you have removed the reason for gov't provided social services, and have all those out of work gov't employees available to mow your stinking law for the right price, too.
