Are you disappointed there won't be MASS DEPORTATIONS?

I always knew mass deportations were impossible, so I was not surprised.

how can there be so much hate in one group of people. There may have been a group deportation or mass but not to the extent of the amount of people we a re talking about now. It won't happen it can't happen the amount of money you all a re whining about it costing you in illegal support will continue to come out of your pocket even if there were no illegal aliens. Why? because the government needs the money that money has been decided or the amount and when that is capped out there will be another issue brought up in Congress's next episode of complaints.

yes, but the house shouldn't be fooled with 'you get what you want now, we'll get what we want later', it's the same thing.\n\nFelony convictions, deportation, even more laws to strip citizenship.  If they want immigration, fine, but not unlimited or uncontrolled legal immigration.  There must be an objective study or studies done on what and who and how many types of legal immigrations there should be that subjectivity and bias are kept out of the results as best as possible.

If there is a backlash, it probably will be against the demonstrators. Even before students began blocking the Los Angeles streets to protest legislation in Congress to toughen penalties for illegal immigrants and smugglers,\nMark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies told me over the telephone, \n"I hope they keep doing it(PROTESTING). It just makes it less and less likely the Senate's going to pass any amnesty.\n\nhttp://www.realclearpolitics.com/article...\n\nThis Nation Has 300 MILLION Citizens That Shop And Buy Gas And Use The Banks\n\nThe "BOYCOTT" Of About 7-10 Million People Will Have A MINIMAL Impact On Our Economy If It Has ANY WHATSOEVER\n\nThe Latino Community Can BOYCOTT ALL They Like\nIt Will PROVE To The People That The Economy Will NOT Fail Without Their"CONTRIBUTIONS"\n\nPUSH HR4437-NO AMNESTY\n\nDEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UPON DISCOVERY

No....\n\nBut deporting 11-20 MM illegals is darn near impossible.  And, at this point, it may cause some serious harm if we do get rid of illegals.  There is a place in PA (I think) that has enacted laws prohibiting illegals from renting or getting jobs.  They have largely left the city- now businesses are failing in that town.\n\nAmesty is not a solution but neither is total deportation-  It is next to impossible to accomplish.  there has to be some way for them to stay, become legal, no to citizenship and pay steep fines.\n\nSecure the borders.\n\nLet's not place this all on the Dems-- Bush has advocated some form of Amnesty as well.  And Reagan DID grant amnesty in the 80's.

It is impossible to deport millions of illegal immigrants because you'd need court orders in the millions to facilitate deportation. It would take years and a huge budget. The President's "guest worker program" solution is a fair and balanced decision to an existing problem - this together with increased border security is the best thing for now.

Very good question.\nAs are some of your other ones.\nI some times feel like a caveman who has just been thawed out of a block of ice. Where do i start, Political Correctness, People are so afraid of saying the wrong thing nowadays that conversations are becoming very scarce. \nAnd i agree with you totally on the Asylum seekers.\nand the amount of Illegal people that are ruining the Economy of various countries. Oil prices, Wars, Climate Change, Pollution, Depleting Fossil fuels.\nI THINK THAT I WILL GO BACK TO BEING FROZEN AGAIN ITS SAFER.\nAND I CAN TRY AGAIN IN ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS.

I support a guest worker program. I think it's impossible to throw all of them out. How are we going to find 12 million illegals? I'm a realist and know that we have to build a fence and send troops to guard it. But I know that is impossible to find all of the illegals here. We need to fine employers who hire illegals and reduce legal immigration with quotas. Illegal immigration is a serious problem and needs to be stopped.

No.  No country will ever rise the expectations of their citizens.  The only thing that can be done is to minimize the evils of the powerful.

Agreed. We know the poor are not coming but the I want more (on the whole). They used that excuse to often and we know the truth. As with menial jobs. It does not cut the mustard on posts any more-nor does racism. Time to talk truths.\n\nIt seems many don't want to answer the questions that point that out-their excuse for bad behavior is gone. And yes look at who is crossing on film these are not touch ups.\n\nAnd to some of these post--we can show you some real America that is just as sad-mary we have many slums

Not really, (it sounds so Soviet to me), but my plan is for us just to give amnesty to all illegals already here (no way to get them out) and dump all of the money we currently spend on hunting down illegal immigrants into border security.

I thumbs up this one.  It is an awesome idea....Just pay taxes and support.  The deportations are just a drop in the bucket compared to the numbers....You are right make the best out of the situation that you have

That's better than $131 BILLION annually!! It's worth the cost of their tickets!! Besides, many will go back on their own. When those contemplating illegal entry find out they face deportation laws that are now strictly enforced many will change their minds. Take away their incentives, they won't risk their lives for it, it won't be worth it.

Yes, but even that won't work.  Demand for their services is too great.  I suspect the government will be as effective stopping illegal immigration as they are stopping drug smuggling.

No..........I don't.........I have a keen outlook on life and don't blame America's faults on anybody but those we elect and ourselves.  \n\nWhat are all these people who post so vehemently going to do when this "mess" is all taken care of by deportation?  Yep......find another outlet.......thats right......haters.....hate.....and this has brought out the BIGGEST  and the (ooh was going to say best.......but I can't call internet haters the best).....umm most apt to post.

mx3baby has a really good answer. I agree almost 100 percent!\n\nHowever, with a lot of these illegals come 'undesirables'; rapists, murderers, etc.. People that just want to live off of the system and be a leach to hard working people. Perhaps if the system was better we could weed these people out. \nAnd yes, if you have leaches like this, it will bring the system down.

Sorry about your personal situation, but like others here said, you should have known that this was going to happen sometime down the road, and so it should NOT be a shock to you.  You say that your new situation is "poor."  Why?  I raised my two children on my own from the time they were small.  We maybe didn't have all the material things, but we had enough and I did a good job of raising them into decent human beings and we always had enough to eat and decent clothing and a roof over our heads.  I think you can do the same while you go through what all procedures you now need to go through to rectify your situation and try to help your children's father return through the legal channels.  You have no one to blame but yourselves - do not blame the government or the citizens of the USA for what you did to yourselves and to your own children.\n\nYes, we all realize that deportations are going to hurt some individuals, but there are laws to uphold and if we enforce those laws firmly and without exception, sooner or later people will stop getting themselves into the situation you are in right now.  We have to look at the "greater" betterment of the people of the USA and that includes not having illegal immigrants in the country.
