wow-but all the other legal citizens who suck mightily from the govt tit-thats ok with you huh?
Not remotely. I think they should all get off their asses and work. And many do. And when they do, they get taxed, so they pay INto the same system they benefit from.

illegal aliens piss me off too, but i see them doing more good for the community, with their work ethic, than i see the many legal citizens who choose to do nothing but figure out new ways to sit at home and do nothing.
I see them working, but what stands out to me more is when I hear the (many) stories of someone getting slammed into at an intersection by an illegal alien who had no insurance, or I hear about border-town hospitals literally forced into bankruptcy, or the illegal alien who drives drunk and kills a pair of young girls and gets sent right back to mexico (maybe) only to return shortly thereafter.....or the schools who are forcing (not offering) but forcing ALL kids to learn and speak spanish to accomodate people who shouldn't be here in the first place. There are COUNTLESS languages spoken in this world, but in many places here, you can't get certain jobs if you don't speak English AND spanish. And why? Because of the company's desire to cater to an influx of people who "really want to be here" so badly they can't be bothered to learn the language. There was a story on NBC here recently of the Dallas PD going to PUERTO RICO to recruit spanish speaking officers because they needed more so badly. WTF?
Now, am I saying that citizens don't drive drunk and kill? Or drive without insurance? No. Clearly not. Of course they do. However, when they do, and are caught....something HAPPENS to them. They don't just get slapped on the wrist and told to go on their merry way. I once heard a tale of a guy who was rear-ended by an illegal alien (heard from him so this is first-hand info....to me at least, I guess it's second-hand for you) anyway.... The cops show up and the guy doesn't speak english, so they speak spanish. Upon learning he had no insurance, they did NOTHING. The guy who was hit about had a fit over it and they told HIM "Sir, you need to go on your way, now."
Seriously....what the HELL does an illegal alien have to do to get some sort of consequence for these types of actions? And in addition to that, I'm supposed to welcome the rest here and say "oh I'm sorry for whatever your story is, clearly you snuck in because you're such a nice, law-abiding person, feel free to stay here with no consequence, by all means."
Sorry, I can't do that.

i dont have the solution, but screaming what someone could have done, when they had no skills to do it-im sure thats not the answer.
and without some great minds deciding this will not go away on its own, and coming up with a solution, were fucking doomed in so many ways.
No lie. I will tell you this....I haven't got a freakin' clue what to do. Even if I were the president, I'd look at the TV cameras, and after making my trademarked "who farted?" expression I'd tell the rest of the country that I had no freakin' idea what to do about the problem, then I'd get up and offer the chair to anyone who had a good idea. (Of course thinking like that probably won't get me elected in the first place, so I don't have to worry.)
I have an idea of what *not* to do, though. And that's to just say "well, you're here, clearly you're a good person, here's your citizenship."
No.....there needs to be a path to citizenship.....but there needs to be a penalty for breaking the law too. You can't just send them all back, but you can't just give them carte blanch to come over with no consquences.
