You want to demonize people who are largely just out here trying to improve their lives and support their families. Why dont you instead focus on locking up the employers who knowingly hire and exploit illegal workers.

Illegal is illegal no matter how you try to soften the blow.

I understand people coming here to better themselves and their family. I am all for it. As long as it is done in a legal way. My wife came here legally. She has learned english. got a job and was disgusted by the taxes she paid to support lazy people. She paid the money adn sat for the naturalization test. she raised her hand and pledged her allegiance to this country. How about these ILLEGAL immigrants? They ALL need to be deported. You may call them nice, but they are all felons. Sadly, the first thing they did in this country is broke the laws.

6:02 What is it you don't understand about the word illegal? If they came here illegally they need to be sent back to where they came from. This country is at the point that we can't take care of our own citizens.

As an American citizen, when you witness a crime, you can do a citizens arrest, people need to do this now to all the illegals they know. Force the issue to the front page, arrest and detain several hundred and watch what happens!

I get the arguments against illegals, and yes, they SHOULD naturalize to our nation legally.

However, when I try to put myself in their shoes, oppression and crushing poverty in their nations, unsafe living conditions, families starving... If I were in that position would I care how I came to a place that provided an opportunity for security and to feed my family? I don't think I would. These folks overwhelmingly are not acting as criminals, they are acting as families trying to do whatever they can to provide for each other.

When I looked at it this way, I could find no way to demonize them. As a compassionate, Christian nation, we should find another way to make this opportunity while working to naturalize these people. It's the right thing to do. I have to wonder in this situation, what would Jesus do?
