Anybody who crosses the border illegally is a criminal. Now they say they only want to focus on the hard core criminals. If this is true then why even have immigration laws at all? Every one of us except for native Americans and slaves from Africa are imiigrants. The American Indians already lived here and the slaves from Africa didn't come here of their own free will. But the millions of Hispanics who jumped the borders are law breakers pure and simple.
In most people's mind there is no middle ground. It seems that the question here is do we as Americans uphold the laws of our country or just turn a blind eye to the mass influx of illegals to our country?

Money is power
Until we the American people wake up and see that money not votes drives the decisions in Washington nothing will ever change. We should push for laws that would prohibit lobbyists and special interest groups from being able to help decide what laws get passed based upon how much money they contribute to political campaigns. What good does it do for us to cast our votes if the same results end up happening anyway? The whole things seems like one big joke, once you elect someone to go to Washington a strange trasformation takes place, almost as if they become brainwashed as to exactly how things will work and you will go along with it.

One solution that would work
Heavy fines for employers hiring any illegal would turn off the spikett, thereby making it nearly impossible for them to gain employment.
The Goshen effect
I live in northern Indiana. Approximately 25 miles southeast of us is the City of Goshen, In. Goshen is close to Elkhart, In which is the RV capital of the world. During the boom times thousands of illegals made their way to northern Indiana to work for any one of 100 manufacturers. The problems was most of them could not speak english, the crime rate in Goshen went from non-existant to dealing with gangs and various other crimes. The cost to the city and taxpayers was enormous. The hospitals were inindated with high number of uninsured patients. You get the picture.
