Get Real Nuh!!

They are here, get real.. Maybe they should not be, but they are and we have come to depend on them so we need to face reality and make the best of a not so bad situation.. 12+ million illegals of which 78% are Mexican. In my opinion the 12 million are not the problem, it’s the countries that they are coming from. America will always look more attractive to the disadvantaged poor in the countries that surround her. Their well-off don’t really care for "us", we are just a huge shopping mall to them, but their poor do not want to die poor so they will always come. You can build all the walls and install all the fancy surveillance equipment you want, they will find a way to come and keep coming.
Pull their cheap labour out of our economic equation and the consequences are gravely obvious; food will go way up, housing will go way up, the cost of maintaining and building roads will go way up, restaurant food will go way up, clothing will go way up, etc, etc. The remittances they send home ARE NOT a drain on our economy, in most cases we are their main importers therefore those same remittances are the cash used to by U.S. goods exported to the said countries. What about the OTM’s (Other Than Mexicans) living in places like New York and DC that have been in the U.S. for 20-30 years and just never bothered to get legalized because it was quite easy to just live and survive quite well in their own "Chinatowns"? Hundreds of thousands of such people exist in this country, do we put them out too?
No its not the Blacks fault. They are not sitting around on welfare refusing to do hard work. The vast majority of people on welfare in this country are white Americans period.
Who says when we should suddenly shut off the migration pipeline anyway? This country overwhelmingly consists of migrants and their descendants, whether they came of their own free will or not. Who decides when that stops and why??
For once I agree with GW; give the 12+ million amnesty, and then give others that still come illegally temporary work visas that last for a few years. Keep track of the latter and tax their income or remittances. Anyway the 12+ million don’t have to worry, this is an election year and neither party is going to risk loosing the second largest voting block in this country. So whatever the Immigration Bill outcome, we all know it will be a rather mild slap on the wrist.
Just my 2 cents!

yep, everyone afraid of this topic so they treading lightly. I think best way to stop the immigrants would be to help improve the countries they come from but hey what do I know.
