even doing that, we take away a paying job from an American citizen.

not until we are able to pull out of iraq and show the rest of the world that we condone the actions taken by president bush. perhaps prior to or during a trial against the bush cabinet for war crimes.

Also, stop denying americans jobs because they don't speak a second language. If Americans go to another country in Asia or Europe, they are not giving "special treatment with language" in fact most are offended if even asked to speak english. When in Rome do as the Romans. When in France speak French. When in America speak what?! I know this sounds like the single minded American, but I don't see why everyone here should learn to speak another language just to speak to a group of people who came here illegally.
Lastly, on giving them a mandatory six month "job" at minimum wage with benefits. Would only increase our illegal immigration problem. Americans would lose jobs in the "hard labor" industry. If I was guaranteed a job making ten times what I made at home with added benefits, I would jump the border in a heart beat.

This system that many companies use is a joke, many people are turned away as being illegal when in fact they have gained citizenship before even entering into the US territories, yet are still not in this database.
As far as the illegals go, have we come so far as to have forgotten our own heritage, we too were illegal?! How did we gain citizenship....oh yeah, we created a government, and killed off or relocated everyone who oppressed us...
The most logical way to fix this problem is to absorb Mexico into the United States. This not only gets rid of the "problem" with illegal immigration, but it give us new resources, and new places to create jobs for Americans who have lost theirs to outsourcing. While we are at it lets open our borders to the north, and begin negotiations with them to form a unified country. This would create a new country America.
Taking them back means more will try. Building a wall doesn't work either, the Chinese built a wall to keep the Mongolians out, and it worked for a while, but they just found new ways to get into china. Build a wall here and we will make it harder for a while...
Throwing them in jail... Just costs the taxpayers more money to keep those jails running and feed the inmates. This is much like our little war on drugs. *my digression* make drugs legal, and tax them to death. This would increase money for our government. It also allows us to control them much easier. *back to topic* We jail them for a few years and then send them back out onto our streets until they get caught again. This reminds me of every Wile E. Coyote episode. It gives us something to do and makes us feel good about doing it, be we never actually complete anything, nor do we get to eat the roadrunner for dinner.
The last option that I have heard is to just spend three cents on every illegal immigrant, by shooting them in the heads... I think its pretty clear why this one doesn't work.
So lets start by making getting identification easier, passports have a wait time of some crazy time period. We have to stand in line for hours to get a drivers license. It takes months for a state government office to contact and get information from a different state government office. This identification system that we are trying to put into affect will take years, before they are in place and then....it’s easier to just apply the old fashion way. We are trying to make it easier but we end up making it harder. Lastly it costs well over 100 usd, to apply for citizenship, for many of these people who come here illegally they don't have the money to even apply. So you pay 100 usd, or 1,076.62 peso, to begin the process of becoming a us citizen, only to be denied three years later for some small reason, jay-walking when you were nine, and are you refunded for your attempt....of course not!
Sorry for my late comment to this topic...
Namaste!

Just wondering what everyone here thought of an Obabma-Gore ticket?!
Also of those here who would vote yes for national health care system, based on the Canadian or Brittish system?!
On Obama-Gore
