Most of you people fail to know the REAL problem,
the US needs people willing to take the jobs americans dont want
(who was it that said that not even blacks wanted to work in farms ?)
from Latin America as much as England needs polacs for their farms & roads.
The US had a program in the 50s called "Braceros" and it was a temporary permit for farm workers to come and work and then return home, no permanent residence or citizenship was involved.
Then came the Simpson-Rodino deal in the 90s, and if you could prove you had worked in a farm (Illegaly of course) you could get a temporary working permit and later on a "Green Card" needless to say that system was so much abused that the Lawyers/Farm foremans made tons of money by signing false affidavits to anybody with the money to pay and the INS asking the applicants questions like "How tall are the ladders used to pick strawberries" to try finding non-farm related people.
The problem now is that the entire population of Latin America thinks to have the right to come to America, cross the border Illegally and as soon as the set foot on the USA they have the same rights as a US Citizen, please dont take my word for it just watch the Fuc**ng news, there are more than 10 Million of Illegals here and all our politicians say is that it's impossible to deport them, of course nobody takes time to say that they are breaking the law or whose fault it is and when they are going to fix the problem.
If this country wants to fix the problem they should take some easy steps,
-Use the National Guard, Army or whatever they want and control the borders & ports "NO MORE ILLEGALS" if somebody is caught just send them 6 months detention to Tucson Arizona, there you have a sheriff that has a Tent city in the desert
(Very warm in summer and cold in winter).
-If you hire an Illegal you're in deep shit and will have to pay through your nose for that.
-Bring back the "Braceros" program and get farms the help they need, do not give them green cards otherwise they will leave the farm work and go to the city.
-Oh yes, deport all the Illegals, once the INS starts with a deportation program the rest will leave by themselves.
