If we want to be "humane" then we should give all these illegal aliens food, clothing, housing, cars, televisions and rocking chairs. That would be the humane thing to do. Let's not let any illegal alien feel unwanted or unappreciated. Give them everything!

Then get back to work, White Boy. We need your tax money.

FWIW, I do think the situation is different when we’re dealing with kids who were brought here by their parents.

The KIDS are not criminals any more than is a hostage in the back seat of a car when another person gets kidnapped.

So, since they are not criminals themselves, and since they have not committed any illegal act themselves, they deserve a level of respect that doesn’t necessarily extend to the ones who committed the act.

I don’t know exactly what I’d do, but I think I’d give them some kind of preferential place in line to complete legal immigration themselves with no guilty illegal ever being able to go above worker status.

As always, the correct answer is sealing the border, cracking down on employers, and drying up any economic prospects for illegals.

I’m with Virgil Goode on stopping all legal immigration for a number of years, also. There’s no reason in a time of high unemployment for citizens to be competing for jobs with foreign competition brought in making things tougher on everyone.
