Okay this may spur some thinking and great responses.
I first wan tto apologize if the topic has been discussed and played out. I looked and couldn't find it so if this gets deleted I understand.

With so many people in here being from canada it will be nice to get a nice perspective on the whole immigration situation that the U.S. feels is such a big problem. As far as I know Canada doe snot have the same problem unless that is there was a draft to be imposed. Anyway back to the topic.
I will start off by telling everybody what it is I think.
America has a major immigration problem. granted there are Illegal aliens who will do things that i myself would not like to do and I am sure many people feel the same way. Not only that, but they will do it for what we, as Americans, would consider a sub-standard rate. there is, however, a down side to this.
1. There is a reason why they call it Illegal Alien. You are not allowed to live here. Please go home. In 2000 it was estimated, only because there is no really good way to count them, that there were currently 7 Million illegal aliens residing in the United States and this number was expected to rise by about 75,000 per year. As of 2004 there were currently 946,142 legal residents of the United States. Of the 7 Million illegal aliens 69% were from Mexico. Other top contributers were El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras, and China in no particular order. Every Year between 416,000 and 675,000 are granted INS form I-551 or a green card. The penalties for getting caught in America without authorization to be here are minor at best. We have an entire law enforcement division dedicated to catching people who insist on entering our country illegaly. costing Americans Billions of dollars we simply do not have, thus adding to the national deficit, which is little more than a big number. (whole other thread).
2. Let's face it not even hispanics wants other hispanics here Illegaly. included and article to add to this statement and i will leave it at that.hispanic feelings
Oay maybe I won't I hope everybody knows about the 80/20 effect i think I have explained it in another thread but oh well here goes. The 80% of the Illegal aliens are ruining it for the 20% of the people who want more than to basicly steal from the country. they make it hard for people to get here legally to live here legally and hopefully some day become a citizen of this great country.
3. I for got what number I was on. Okay then there are those who have children in our country and both the mother and the father are illegal aliens. Guess who paid for that hospital visit. thats right You did. Average Joe American citizen. but it doesnt stop there. These kids then grow up and get to go to public school that their parents probably are not contributing for. Private school parents twice for their kids education once in taxes and again in tuition. Illegal Alien parents don't pay at all. how fair is that.
4. The point of all this is that somethig needs to be done about the amount of illegal immigrant enter the United States everyday, because in the end we all end up paying for it. Plus if you want to live here so bad then just learn the freaking language. and no Corona is not english. I have no idea what could be done but it should be addressed.maybe snipers every few miles to shoot at people who make the run for the USA, not kill them or even shoot them just in the general direction of where their going. but anyway this is long enough lets hear what all of you have to say.
