In answer to some's questions....
I did say shoot on sight..... but would you rather be shot and killed on sight or die of suffocation in a truck?
No, not everyone called or implied names.
Pigglet, where do I mention anything about LEGAL immigrants or LEGAL immigration needing to be cut?
If I were xenophobic as you stated here:

Then I would be against ALL immigration, I believe, not just ILLEGAL. And I believe, if I were the Xenophobe, I would not say "change the laws and I'll accept them." All I kept repeating was that I was against Illegal Immigration and felt that those doing so were criminals (breaking a law = criminal). And notice I CAPITALIZED ILLEGALS so noone could say I was going after all immigrants (which are necessary to keep this country growing as we as a nation are having fewer children).
As for the cost of ILLEGALS there are several websites that discuss them and break them down.
This website is straight 1996 money and they try to show the cost in 2003 dollars:

Here's a CNN report on the cost of ILLEGALS to America: (A very good report and informative):
