Illegal Immigrants Rally

Illegal immigrants from all over the country rallied yesterday to show just how valuable their participation is to our economy.

I think its a great idea... I just hope the INS was out with their cameras, took pictures, followed them home and deported them.

Here's my take on how to solve the illegal immigration issue:

• Severe financial punishments to companies that hire illegals including paying a huge fine, paying for lost taxes and the cost of deporting the illegals back to their homeland.
• Mexico's government is so corrupt that waiting for them to make their economy more robust is a lost cause... or at least a long term wait. Until then, we have to secure our borders, whether that be by troops, walls, etc. Bush convinced me terrorism is a threat. Believing that means leaving the borders open is insane.
• When illegals currently serving time in our prisons are done, they are deported. (I think they currently are).
  
• The cost of keeping illegals in our prisons with life sentences or on death row is deducted from financial aid currently provided to those countries.
• The cost of healthcare for illegals in our country is deducted from financial aid currently provided to those countries.
  

Will fixing this immigration issue effect our economy? Short term, things will cost more. Long term, the cost that illegal immigrants put on our health care system, our prison system and not paying taxes will be a great economic benefit.

If you want to get into this country, follow the laws. If you don't follow the laws on how to come in here, why should we believe you will follow any other law placed in your way?

If you want to come here legally, we'll welcome you with opened arms. If not, then you're a criminal, end of story. Expect to be treated as such.
