The notion that we should get deport all illegal aliens is clearly a minority position...

According to a recent NBC News/WSJ poll only 35% of Americans favored deporting illegal workers, while 61% favored letting them stay, work and pay taxes assuming security conditions were met.


Bunk, the majority of the Country and nearly all of Congress doesn't agree with your ground rules.


Based on what...an anecdote?

Go tell that to Texas and southern California, The non mexican citizens that are being effected the most are the ones that should be listened to I am willing to bet that the 35% you speak of is based directly in those regions. all the Google info you drum up won't discount that. My father lives is Escondido, and they are just over run with illegals, hell there are deer crossing type signs on the highways with stick figures of people running and dragging thier kids!

It is illegal, no matter how much you google it, it is still illegal and should not be tollerated. Alan greenspan can blow me, there is no difinitive way to prove how much they put it, simple because what they are doing is illegal get it everything has to be an approximation unless they have a way of tracking all thier income, which is impossible becaseu they are ILLEGAL I hope you get to deal with the impacts someday, and lose your job to one of them or another situation. As a matter of fact why don't you just move to southern cal or texas and set up a center that deals with helping them out?

They are taking jobs from Americans, they steal healthcare, and your ok with that too. You should definelty relocate, your needed there.
