[QUOTE="Slothrop, post: 90763, member: 4707"] wily, the problem is not so simple. There are millions here who are staying no matter what. They can be considered a part of America or apart from America, the choice is ours. My stance has always been: 1) enforce the laws we have, especially protect our border, the entire border. Fund it. 2)allow a path towards citizenship for those already here, working, law abiding, and willing to learn English. 3)Punish lawbreakers, especially the corporations that enable this to happen. Put chief executives in jail if they hire people not eligible to work in the USA. That'll stop it...no more $500 fines. If you really want to solve the problem, raise Mexico's standard of living up to what the poverty level is here, then you won't have people willing to leave their home and risk their life to better their family. That should never be a crime. Fox ran on a platform that promised easier access to American jobs, and an easier path for Mexicans to immigrate to America if they so desired. Sept 11 changed that, but not one terrorist entered through Mexico. There are many reasons to encourage immigration from Mexico and Central America, a lot of them security based. I'd be wasteing my time here. explaining them. PM me if you really care. [/QUOTE]
